a Fellow FEELING.

All sorts and conditions of men
have excellent explanations for their
position in life," said the senator. "A
tramp, however, came under my OBJ
servation who had no illusions about
the cause Of his own condition. A
tine-looking and fashionably dressed
woman had just alighted from her
Limousine at the hotel entrance and
was suddenly approached by this shah
billy dressed man, who requested a
dime. No, have no money to spare
for you,' she said. I do not see why
an able-bodied man like you should
go about begging I s'pose, ma'am,

the same reason that healthy woman
like you boards at hotel instead OF

100000.
All Crops to Be Greater.
Estimates of. the principal crops.
furnished the department Of agricul-
ture, based on conditions Of August
], show that all crops will be great
er than last year. Interest centered
on wheat and corn. Both showed i'm
provement over July conditions,
though excessive rains and cold
weather in the central states inter
fered with threshing. Oats also suf-
fered in those states, but in other Sec
tons the Improvement more than off
set this.

ostrIches Cheaper These Days.

It helps one to realize the South Al
rican slump in ostriches, as shown
by the sale of a full-gr0wn bird for
three pence at Grahamstown, when
one recalls former prices. In the
early days Of ostrich farming a chick
newly out of the egg would sometimes
fetch G10, and $500 has been
paid for a good pair Of grown birds.
But those were the days when one
plucking of a single bird would bring
in 925, and of late years prices
have not ruled so high-you could get
quite a good pair of ostriches for 812.
Ostrich farming dates from about
1907, and brought many pioneer a
fortune when it first began.-London

THE Charm
or motherhood
Enhanced By Perfect Phys
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is o Try.
Ing one to most women and marks dis
einctly an epoch in their lives. Not ons
woman in hundred Is prepared or uzs-
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 distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing 10
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, a most valuable tonic and
knyigorator of the female organism.

Assembly Passes Fair Fund.

The assembly amended and con-
Cured in the Everett bill appropriate
ing $255000 for permanent improve
ments on the state fair grounds in Mil
waukee. Earlier In the day the as
sembly concurred in the Whitman bill
appropriating $4,000 to pay the in
debtedness incurred by the old state
board of agriculture in conducting the
last state fair. AS the amendment to
the Everett bill does not change the
amount of appropriation carried by it,
the senate is expected to concur in
the amendment. This means that the
new state department of agriculture
will start out with clean slate and
with sufficient funds to give a good
fair next month and make the needed
improvements on the grounds during
the next four years.
The amendment to the Everett bill,
which was offered by Mr.. Woodward
in accordance with another under
standing reached at a conference of
members of the Legislature with Gov.
Philip, provides that $4,000 shall be
Immediately available for repairs,
construction Of fences and the enclos-
ure of open structures on the fair
grounds.
The rest of the appropriation,
amounting to $245,OO0, is not to be
available until the department of agri
culture certifies in writing to the sec
rotary of state and state treasurer that

ekoGMo MEASURE ABoLIsHiNG
BOARD OF CONTROL WINS
BY IS TO 10 VOTE.
CLAIM GREATER EFFICIENCY
Considerable Opposition Expected in
AssembIy-Platform Conven-
ton Act Has Been
Killed.
Madison, August 6, 1915.

The senate, by a vote of Is to 10,
passed Senator George Skogmo's bill
abolishing the state board Of public
affairs and creating a state council
to be composed of elective officers
and the heads of practically all state
departments. Senator SkOgmo's bill,
In it's amended form, carries an an
nual appropriation of $4,000.
There was considerable sharp de-
bate between the prOgressives and
conservatives as to the merits of the
bill. Senator Skogmo contended
that the measure, if it becomes a law,
will result in greater efficiency in
government.
The purpose OF the proposed law
SHALL be, so far as possible, to bring
about coordination and correlation
of the work of the state"
May Devise Accounting Systems.
The council may devise uniform
systems of accounting, may put into
force plan of classification of work
IN the state service, also a plan for
salary limitations. 1t shall be the
duty of the council to report to the
legislature of 1917, as to the FEAST
bility of establishing a central de-
partment of purchases for all public
bodies.
Much opposition to the bill will be
shown in the lower house, where the
conservatives are better organized
than in the senate.
