~ about the peskiest
thing that a man lets
himself put up with.
{. Yet it is surprising how
many men are careless about
pocket knives so apt to 90
along with their old ones, un-
less reminded of it.
Almost every day some of our
customers are reminded by the
sight of our display of pocket
knives, or perhaps by feeling their
old ones in their pockets, that they
need a new knife.
More often than not, too, thew
are surprised to find our assort-
ment so complete-so many styles
and sizes-bone handles, pearl
handles, metal handles, wood
handles. And ranging from two
bladed pen knives to four and
six-bladed knives, and some with
screw-driver, cork puller and small
scissor fittings. Mighty handy for
a man to have.
How about little shooting

Ca0ingS Of tie World for
War.

1t is estimated the saving of the
world have been spent in the present
war. The latest reca oitulation of the
governmental Indebtedness of the ma
tions engaged in the European conflict
is as follows: France $3.50, 600, 600;
I.Lssia, 81, 300, 600, 900; Great Britain,
So, lis, 900, 900; Austria-Hungary, 81, 64O-
600, 900; Germany, 1850, 900, 900; Bel
GUM, $3.50, 900, 900; Servia, $3.50, 900. 900;
Turkey. $762, OO0 900. There has been
talk of the exaction of money indem-
nifty from the conquered by the con-
querers at the conclusion of the war.
A financial writer advances the opinion
that with these staggering RESPONSE
bilities in view the imposition of further
indebtedness would be the merest fulfil
ity. "The victor's spoils, he asserts,
"can be only in territory. This premise
becomes more positive as the war is
prolonged There is a hint that there
may be partial Reputation, the bond
holders being asked to accept 80 or rs
cents on the dollar after the war is
over. Civilization does not resort to
this and more than. likely the building
of warships and guns will cease for
time and the money used to pay the
colossal debts noted above.

The Baraboo Commercial Association
should issue certificate of rellabil-
.ty" to ttcs2 wlo desire to make a
house to house canvass for the purpose
of selling or taking orders for goods.
Rio. Wisconsin, has a commercial club
which issues such certificate, copy
of which is given to solicitors or sales
people who desire to canvass the town,
provided the person's credentials show
that he or she is worthy OF the conf
ience of the citizens when it comes to
the price of the article it is desired tC
sell. Many cases have occurred when
che magazine agent has been frauo
or where the goods sold have been at 3
greater price than offered in the local
stores. The merchants should protect
themselves as.far as possible and one
way to do this is to provide the sales
people with certificate of RELIABLE
ity.4s If the agent is not provided with
such certificate the persons solicited
should.turn them down without more
ado. Try the Rio plan in Baraboo.

When James A. Garfield was presl'
dent of Oberlin College man brought
for entrance as a student his son, for
whom he wished shorter course than
the regular one.
''The boy can never take all that in,
said the father. "He wants to get
through quicker. Can you arrange ii
for him?"
"Oh, yes, !" said Mr.. Garfield: He
can take a short course; it all depends
on what you want to make him. When
G ID wants to make an oak he takes a
hundred years, but He only takes two
months to make a squash"

Judge James O'Neill of Neillsville

many counties of the state. This has
given him wide acquaintance ano

Great learning, long years of expert

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, =
coated tongue, a mean feeling in the
head?
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. It is a condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do notgripe or purge but simply
assist nature Taken regularly for a
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, ~ Y, for a free sample or
get fuIl-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

JESUI1S ELECT
 NEW COMMANDER
Latest "Black Pope" is from Germany, Nephew of Car
 dinal Ledochowsky.

Rome, Feb. Il,-lfev. Ledochowsky was today 'electeasy eAere>sa. of the Socie- ty of Jesus (Jesyits) succession to the Rev. Francis Xavier Wernz.
 The generals of the Society of Je sus, the formal name of the organiza- ton of the Jesuits, are elected for life by the general congregation of this order, which is of monastic origin. The general of the society is known as the "black pope"
 Rev. Wernz died August 20 in Rome a few hours after the death of Pope Plus. Anxiety over the war is said to have hastened his end. Then Rev. Fines, assistant Jesuit general for France, was selected to head the order, which he did until the present cleo tion. '.@s
