Shoots Big Timber Wolf.

D. H. Mahoney, farmer residing
near Glare. over in Webster county.
killed big timber wolf Sunday
morning. The animal was hiding in
a big tuft of dried grass near
fence post and ran directly in front
of Mahoney, who was out skirmish-
ing with his shotgun. Wounded by
the first shot the animal ran some
distance before Mahoney fired the
bullet which penetrated its brain
and killed it instantly. Mahoney
will receive $40 bounty for the,
wolf, which weighed about sixty
pounds and was as we'll conditioned
as a diet of chicken and young pigs
could make it.
The body of the animal was ex-
hibited on the streets of Fort Dodge
yesterday.

Social Glass
VS.. Kidneys

Strong drinks like beer, whis-
key, tea and coffee, irritate the
kidneys and habitual use tends to
weaken them. Daily backache,
with headache, nervousness, dizzy
spells and a rheumatic condition
should be taken as a warning OF
kidney trouble. Gut out, or at
least moderate the stimulant, and
use Doan's Kidney Pills. They
are fine for weak kidneys. Thou-
sands recommend them.
Here's Tacoma Case.

AGENTS MUST HAVE LICENSE
Prof. J. G. Sanders, State EntomoIo-
gist, Warns Against Nurserymen
Without Certificates.

Madison Many unlicensed nur-
sery agents are on the road selling
stock and people should look out for
them" said Prof. ]. G. Sanders, state
entomologist.
The law, Prof. Sanders said, requires
that every agent shall be possessed of
a certificate from the department of
entomology and that persons purchas-
ing nursery stock should beware of
agents not so provided if they would
guard against the possible Importation
Of nursery pests.
Prof. Sanders had on exhibition a
lot of specimens of the work of the
orchid weevil that we're procured in a
Milwaukee greenhouse, several hun
dred valuable plants being ruined by
the pest. Their work shows the great
chances of neglect in importing plants
that are not carefully looked after.

NORMAL FUND QUESTIONED
contended That 1t Would Leave

Madison.-It will take some stretch
ing of the law to allow the emergency
board" to appropriate $4,000 to COM
plete the work of rebuilding the SUI
perior normal school building de-
stroyed by fire, the efficiency bureau
points out The bureaus report says
the emergency law gave power to
make the appropriations for operating
expenses" while this is an expendi-
ture for capital" The board of edu-
cation has asked the appropriation, on
the ground that the school cannot be
operated without it.. But the bureau
points out that if this theory is upheld,
by the attorney general, it will virtu-
ally leave the emergency fund open to
any demand which the judgment of
the emergency board approves. The
board consists of governor, secretary
of state and attorney general.

MANY DIE FROM PINE UMONIA
Led All Ailments for Mortality in Wis
consin During the Last Quar-
ter of 1915.

Madison which causes
10 per cent of the deaths in the Unit
ed States, led all diseases in Wiscon-
sin mortality during the last quarter
of 1915, as well as throughout the
year, showing a large excess over tu-
berculosis and cancer, its next rivals
in destructiveness. Pneumonia caus-
ed IT'S deaths in the three months,
cancer ass and tuberculosis 1872.
Deaths for 1915 were as follows:
Pneumonia, 3,O57; tuberculosis, q
2S6; cancer, 1873.
Seventy Der cent of all cases of
pneumonia occur between December
and May, it's victims being rendered
more susceptible during those months
by exposure, facilitating influences
and the presence of predisposing In
fections. The presence of other dis
eases is the great predisposing cause
of pneumonia The increased incl
dence of pneumonia at this time is
largely due to the epidemic Of grippe
