SLAUGHTER HOUSES BETTER
Health Board Officials State IS Per
Cent of Them Are Now Up to
Sanitary Standards.

Madison-Sanitary conditions of
slaughter houses in Wisconsin have
greatly improved as a result of state
inspections by the state board OF
health during the last two years. &C
cording to a statement made by Sec
rotary c. A Harper of the board of
health
Five deputy health officers inspect
ed every slaughter house in the state
during the last two years and IS per
cent of such houses are now up to
sanitary standards and the rest are
approaching that ideal When the in
spection work started, rs per cent of
the slaughter houses were in an un.
sanitary condition, neceSsitating the
issuance of orders compelling radical
changes to meet the provisions of the
rules imposed by the. state board of
health
The Wisconsin rules governing
slaughter houses are less drastic than
those in some other states, but they
are intended to supply reasonable
regulation purely in the interest of
the public health
Owners are given a reasonable time
in which to remedy conditions, and
failure to comply results in orders is.
sued against them. The penalty for
violation of the rules is a fine from
$40 to $500, or Imprisonment not ex.
ceeding six months.

Prove What Swamp-Root win Do For Yos
NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
WouId-Be Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required of Fighters
on the Ships of v. S.

They tell a story about a certain
secretary of the navy who had never
seen ship, and who exclaimed, when
he began to explore a man-of-war,
Good gracious, it's hollow! This Is
an unlikely yarn, but it is fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about ship as a Sioux In
dian.
Some weeks ago a man visited the
receiving ship Wabash, lying at the
Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard, and
said he would like to ship, but would
not enlist if he could not be given
work to which he was accustomed,
He was not enlisted, for he would be
useless. He was a paperhanger.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He was in
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tain's horse, for he was a stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as a ships
roofer, and once a gardener called to
obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board of United
States man-of-war, so he failed to en-,
ter the service.

BE PARTICULAR TO
PACK BEST APPLES
Sort According to Size and Color
BE Careful of Dampness
in Storage Place.

If you have apples to sell and they
have not been properly sorted and
packed, now is a good time to do this
work. Sort according to size and
color, and pack in small boxes with
paper between the layers, particular
ly if you have private customers, as
most people like them better that
way, than when packed loosely in bar
rels.
Be particular to select good apples
of the same size for the top layer, but
be just as particular to see that those
in the middle and the bottom of the
box are equally good.
Second quality apples should be
packed in the same way, in boxes by
themselves and the culls can either
family use, or sold in the market for
just what they are. If the second
grade apples and the culls are packed
in along with the best, you will get
nothing more than the price for culls,
as buyers always base their offering
on the poorest quality of fruit.
If the fruit is stored in the cellar,
1t. must be well ventilated and per-
fectly dry, although we have found
that apples stored on a cement floor
become too dry and are apt to shrivel.
There is nothing better than an earth
en- floor for storing apples, or fruits
of all kinds, provided the drainage is
perfect
If the cellar becomes damp at sud-
den thaws, the fruit should be looked
over carefully and all imperfect speci-
mems sorted out, and the sound fruit
elevated two or three feet above the
floor.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
