GO NO FARTHER
The Evidence is at Your Door

Ladysmith proof is what you want
and the statement of this highly re-
spected resident will Danish all
doubt:
Mrs Adam Reidner, Worden Ave.
and Tenth St., Ladysmith, Wis,
says: 81 never had anything help
me as quickly and greatly as Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was just about sick
enough to go to bed. My back hurt
me terribly and l had shooting pains
in my loins and hips, sometimes ex-
tending into my arms and other
parts of my body. I felt tired and
weak and was more tired when
got up in the morning than when
went to bed. Headaches caused aw-
full distress and I had such terrible
dizzy spells that I felt just as if
was going to faint. My kidneys were
weak and inflamed. I had suffered
from kidney complaint for six years
and though 1 had doctored and tried
different remedies, the relief I got
was only temporary. A friend wanted
me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and
did. One box made my back much
better, my kidneys begun to act nor
mally and every sign of inflamma-
ton left. I had much better appe-
tite and my whole system was toned
up and rid Of the impurities.
Price soc. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Reidner had. Foster-Mil-

EARLY DAYS IN WISCONSIN
The Remains of Early Ages

Every day, thousands of tons OF
lakes and seas by the winds. An
inconceivably great amount of mud
and sand is carried down by the
rivers and smaller streams and enor-
nous deposits of fine rock material
are thus being built up in the sea
around the borders of the land. In
some places this process is slow, in
others quite rapid. 1t has been esti-
mater that the Mississippi river
alone carries enough sediment into
the sea each year to cover 268 squar
miles to a depth of one foot Sea
water contains a large amount of
dissolved lime and this is used by
myriads of large and small sea crea-
lures to form their shells. When
these animals die their shells drop
to the bottom and the microscopic
ones and broken fragments of the
larger ones built up at some places
great deposits of lime mud"
The bones and shells of the water
animals and even the skeletons of
animals from the land which are
carried to the sea in flood times
are mingled with these deposits of
lime, mud and sand and in time are
entirely covered.
From the soft deposits thus formed
it is but a step to their hardening
into the solid rock that we call lime
stone, shale rock, and sandstone
And so it is that the rocks did in a
manner grow around the shells and
Skeletons These processes have been
water on the earth and animal re-
mains have been entrapped this way
for countless ages.
One Of the most striking changes
recorded in history is that of the
shore Of the Gulf of Naples. Dur
ing the time of the Roman empire
on the shore of PuzzuOi near Ma
pies there stood a temple. At some
time between the eighth and tenth
centuries the land begin to sink,
and continued to go down until the
sea partly submerged the temple
columns that had stood on high land
The lower half of these columns was
greatly altered by the sea and by
myriads Of little sea creatures that
burrOwed into the hard marble. AS
time went on the sinking ceased
and the land actually started to rise
again. Today three columns, all
that remains of a once beautiful
temple, stand high and dry upon the
land. Such changes are taking place
along many of our sea coasts, but
the elevation and depression goes on
very slowly. Yet so extensively has
this gradual sinking of the land and
its re-elevatiOn taken place in the
history of the earth that the seas
have many times extended over the
interior of North America. In fact
there are but few points on the
continent that have not been sub
merged at one time or another and
many parts of the interior, including
Wisconsin, have been covered by
water time and time again.

Prepared for the News-Budget by
the Geology department at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Many thousands and even millions
swarmed with peculiar creatures
that no longer live. Even within
the memory of man whole races of
animals such as the Dodo or great
ground pigeon, Steller's sea cow of
the northern seas, and many other
forms have become extinct Even
the American bison, formerly mon
arch of the plains, may soon be-
come but a memory. Yet the his
tory of these extinct animals, ex-
tending over millions of years, is no
more mythical and no less accurate
than the story of the ancient Egyp-
tians Indeed, where it is readable
at all, it is even more sure, for the
facts are automatically recorded in
the rocks and lack entirely that ele-
present in some degree where man
is the recording agent.
The facts upon which the ancient
animal history is based are every
where at hand if We only look care
fully. When spring comes and you
stroll through the valleys and over
the hills, by close observations you
will no doubt be able to find in
some of the rocks what appears to
be shells of snails and other living
animals Perhaps you have been
fortunate enough in your travels to
find remains that resemble limb
bones or even complete skulls in the
solid rocks. The paleontologist, whose
business it is to study, describe and
classify such things, assures us that
these forms are more than acct
dental resemblances. They are, in
deed, the actual remains of once
living creatures.
It is just this sort of remains
from which the paleontologist builds
his pictures of former hosts Of ami
mails and so accurate does he become
with long practice and careful
study that he can not only tell in
what geological age the creatures
lived, but he can picture what they
looked like and in many cases tell
even the most minute details of
their habits.
1t is interesting to note the atti-
tude Of the ancients, and even our
less remote ancestors toward these
remains, or fossils as they are called.
Some have thought them accidental
resemblancos, others creatures that
persisted in the great Biblical flood.
Still others considered them undo-
sirable patterns or models rejected by
the Creator. More common inter
pretations held that these fossils
were creatures that burrOWed in the
rock, or that the rock actually grew
about them, thus entrapping the ami
mails. The latter explanation is the
more nearly correct, for the rocks
did grow in a sense; but they grew
after a manner far different from
the way ordinarily meant when we
say thing grows.

IIIitsraey Among Children.

Illiteracy in the United States is
doomed. Statistics compiled by the
United States bureau of education
show that of children from ten to four.
teen years of age there were in 1910
only twenty-five out of every thousand
who could neither read nor write. In
1900 there We're of the same class for
ty-two per thousand. If reduction in
illiteracy is still proceeding at even the
same rate the illiterate children in this
country between the ages of ten and
fourteen inclusive now number not
more than fifteen out Of every thou
sand.
