A woman's coffee experience is in

pain and heart palpitation and all the

From childhood up | had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the past
20 years | had been trying different

Il made the change from coffee to
Postum and there is such a difference
in me that l don't feel like the same

WORK To Be SLACK
IN NORTH WOODS
CURTAII-MENT IN LOGGING OP-
ERATIONS AND SLACK DE-
MAND is CAUSE.
BOOM HOME GROWN PRODUCT
Estimated That 437, $4,000 Feet of
Logs Will Be Cut as Against
545,7s2, 900 in
1914.

Oshkosh.-Present indications are
that logging operations for the coming
winter will be curtailed to an extent
that only about 87,550,0OO feet of logs
will be cut against 545, $4,000 feet cut
last year. That means a decrease of
about 55,OOO,OOO feet for the season of
1915-1916 as compared with the preced-
ing winter.
The chief reason assigned is slack
demand for all kinds of lumber. The
large amount of western and southern
lumber being used in the state also
puts crimp' into the industry.
The announcement that logging is to
be curtailed means much to labor of
Wisconsin and North srn Michigan. At
a recent hearing before the federal
trade commission testimony was given
by one of the leading lumbermen to
the effect that the reduction in output
last year meant an average reduction
of wages in the woods of Is per cent.
He said: 81 think it is fair to conclude
that the labor in our section has suf-
fered loss of SO thousand on 223,-
100000 feet in work which they have
not had"
1t is to offset such conditions and to
remedy the evils, by giving employ
ment to as large numbers of men as
formerly, that campaign for more
extensive use of home grown woods
has been inaugurated.

they came up to the new gate on the

through they could see where the old
gateway had been bricked. The rhode
dendrons topped the yard wall at that
point, masking it from the lawn, and

opened and disgorged a man.
The man was at first sight a most

infant MORTALITY
IS FIFTH OF TOTAL
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH DE.
cLAREs 20 PER CENT OF 1T
is PREVENTABLE.
DEATHS AVERAGE IS DAILY
Thousands Succumb at Early Age
Due to the Conditions Surround
ing the First Year
of Life.

Madison.-At least 70 per cent of in
FAINT mortality is preventable, declares
a statement issued by the state board
of health.
Every day in the year an average
of 142 babies are born in Wisconsin,
it says. The deaths among children
under one year of age average fifteen
per day. This gives a death rate for
children under one year of age of 1O5
for each 1000 children born, while the
average annual death rate for the en-
tire population, including persons Of
all ages, does not exceed twelve per
1000.
In 1910, 20.4 per cent of the chill
dren born in the state died before they
were one year old; in 1911, 1O1 per
cent; in 1912, SO per cent. In 1872
1873 per cent of the total number of
deaths were of children under one
year. Deaths among children one year
of age evidently constitute about one
fifth of all the deaths recorded. This
is not as low as the rate of one-sixth
in some states or as high as The maxi
mum of about one-fourth in other
states.
Not all of the poorly nourished dis
eased children die during the first
year of life, but thousands of them
succumb at an early age from condi-
tons directly traceable to the first
year of life.

I'm not surprised at his master not

FIRE JAIL TO MAKE ESCAPE
TWO Tramps Arrested at Sun Prairie
Following Threat to Cut
Farmers Throat

Sun Prairie.-Mike Murray and VIII
liam Welsh, tramps, made a desperate
attempt to escape from the Sun
Prairie Jail, when they set fire to the
Jail, escaping with their lives when at
tendants rescued them. One of the
men was slightly burned about the
legs.
Marshal Krebs of this place receiv-
ed call from a farmer who said two
tramps had threatened to cut his
throat unless he gave them money and
food. Krebs drove out into the country
and captured the men. One of them
had heavy overcoat in the lining
of which was concealed a razor.
In court the two said they were too
drunk to know what they were doing.
The marshal produced a large bag full
of matches which he found in the jail
after fire had been quenched.

Green Bay.-In special report to
the county board members of the road

Madison.-Rummage sales as pos

organizations planning to hold such
sales, the board suggests precautions.
Goods donated for the sale should 0e

salesrooms. The board also advises
that local health authorities always be
consulted prior to arranging for rum
mage sales, in order to obtain specific
directions for handling materials to
avoid the transmission of commu-

CHAPTER VII.
After Michael Anuelo.

After Michael Angelo.
Il was thinking of his cap" said
Cazalet, but only as they returned to
the tradesmen's door, and just as
Blanche put in her word, What about
me?"
Mr.. Drinkwater eyed the trim white
figure standing in the sun. THE more
the merrier!" his grim humor had it.
Il dare say you'll be able to teach us
thing or two as well, miss"
She could not help nudging Cazalet
in recognition of this shaft. But GAIA
let did not look round; he had now set
foot in his old home.
1t was all strangely still and inactive,
as though domestic animation had
been suspended indefinitely. Yet the
open kitchen door revealed female
form in multi; a sullen face looked
out of the pantry as they passed; and
through the old green door (only now
it was a red one) they found another
bowler hat bent over pink paper at
the foot of the stairs. There was a
glitter of eyes under the bowler's
brim as Mr.. Drinkwater conducted his
friends into the library.
The library was a square room of
respectable size, but very close and
dim with the one French window
closed and curtained. Mr.. Drinkwa-
ter shut the door as well, and
switched on all the electric lamps.
The electric light had been put in by
the Cravens; all the other fixtures IN
the room were as Cazalet remembered
them. But the former son Of the house
gave himself no time to waste in senti,
mental comparisons. He tapped a pair
Of mahogany doors, like those of a
wardrobe let into the wall
Have you looked in here?" de-
manded Cazalet.
What's the use of looking in a CT

inquiry.

in disgust. Did he really only use 1t
for his cigars?"

water. and locked up at the time 1t

summoned his subordinate. Gust

from police rule took his time, in spite
of them, and was sharply rated when
he appeared.

first words to Cazalet outside.
