ance about the first of November.
Several suitable names were suggested
for the publication but nothing definite

been invited by the Skillet Creek Far
mers' club to attend their meeting on

offer be accepted. At this meeting Sec

On Wednesday night Mrs Henry
Block who resides on Sixth street,
was aroused about one o'clock by a
noise outside the house and turning on
the light saw the forms of two men
rapidly disappearing. On investigating
the premises she found that the screen
door had been taken off and efforts had
been made to gain entrance into the
h juse by means of window.
Hans C. Okern has also discovered evil
dences of an attempt to gain entrance
to the bottling works where the robbers
probably desired to refresh themselves
after making a run from some of their
attempted robberies. Other burglar
scares have been reported but inYesti-
cation has. shown that the alarm might
have been ascribed to some othe
cause.

CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE

Constipation is more frequent in wo.
men than in men. It is almost always
present in old age.
Many results of constipation are at
tributed to something else. Constipa-
ton causes pimples and eruptions. By
pressing on the veins it causes cold ankles
and feet and produces varicose veins. 1t
may cause neuralgia. Constipation often
makes children delicate and feeble.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not grippe or purge but sim
ply assist nature. Taken regularly for q
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, n. Y, for free sample and
booklet on the treatment of constipation
or get full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

Berries Buried in Sand in
Order to Obtain the
Seed.

The largest ginseng garden in Sank
county is located near the foot of the
big hill between Black Hawk and
Spring Green, not far from Wilson
Creek. The garden is owned by J. w.
and M. J. Schwartz. two brothers who
began the growing of the plants in a
small way number of years ago. Now
they have two acres under artificial
shade and one acre on hillside in the
woods. It requires three or four
years or longer to obtain crop. Be-
fore the war came on the dry roots
were worth about Sc. 90 pound; now
the price has dropped to about $4.25.
Early in the season they cold roots
valued at about 81, 500 and the digging
this fall will bring lot more.

Weighs a Pound

Schwartz brothers sent this office q
few days ago root just dug from the
ground which weighed an even pound
1t Is very large specimen and shows
the growers know how to care for the
plants. The older the plants the better
they are and the more they bring. Cul-
tivated plants are not worth so much
as those which grow in the woods.
When the firm began growing gin
seng they purchased plants at fifty cents
each. They are now worth much less
and seed is worth about $500 q pound,
there being about Z, 900 seeds in pound.
The plant bears bright red berries in a
cluster. When gathered the berries
are buried in fine sand and after year
are obtained by sitting. The seed do
not terminate the first year so there is
no danger in keeping them buried in a
box of damp sand for several months
until the pulp has entirely decayed
Some growers mash the pulp and wash
away, leaving the seed. There are
about 125 seeds on a stalk. Among the
first plants obtained by the brothers
were several growing in the wild state
at Blue mounds.
On account Of the low price of gin
seng the firm has begun the grow
ing of golden seal and other drug
plants which have merited medi-
cinal value. Ginseng is of no value
