Manufact c. Schriber
Is Chairman.

Oshkosh.-Fifty representative bust
ness men of this city met at a banquet
to further promote the industrial fund
of 100000 to be used in loans to aid
infant industries of this city.
At previous meeting a short time
ago called by r. G. Brown, who start
ed it, the movement met with SO much
enthusiasm that the last meeting was
nearly trebled. The meeting will lead
to incorporation of the Oshkosh Indus
trial Promotion company, and will
make loans to home manufacturers
when legal restrictions bar banks from
making such loans.
Louis c. Schriber, banker, was elect
ed chairman of the finance committee.
He said it was the sense Of those pres
ent that this was the first proposition
of real merit that Oshkosh business
men ever had put before them and
that the proposition was in capable
hands to ultimate success; that al
ready $4,000 had been volunteered
before any one had known if the plan
would be gone any further with.
Another meeting will be held on
Feb. II, to further the association and
its purpose.

fayette Elliott, for thirty-eight years
a member of the Eau Claire police

length of service, one of the oldest
police officers in the United States.
He had served continuously on the Eau
Claire police force since 1873 until
a few weeks ago, when he was stric-
ken with his last fatal Illness, and
in that period of time were crowded
many exciting and dangerous expert
ences.

Lock and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest we'll, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and vet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful Cf limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton Of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid APP
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of In
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

Madison.-PneumOni which causes
10 per cent Of the deaths in the Unit

of 1915, as well as throughout the
year, showing a large excess over. tu-

cancer 455 and tuberculosis 1872.
Deaths for 1915 were as follows:
Pneumonia, 3,057; tuberculosis, g.

Seventy per 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

Plan to Cooperate.

Madison.-There is to be co-opera-
ton in Wisconsin among secretaries
of county and district fairs. and be-
tween these secretaries and othclals
of the state fair.
At the annual meeting of the county
and district fair secretaries at Osh-
kosh on January &c, this departure was
suggested in an address by c. T. Nor
CORD, commissioner of agriculture OF
Wisconsin, and his suggestion was en-
Enthusiastically received by the county
and district fair secretaries. Commits
sioHer Norgord said in part:
do you realize the wonderful mis-
sion of agricultural fairs, and tee
great opportunity of service to agricul-
ture and to rural people that fairs
hold?
THE great mission of all fairs is to
teach lessons and form ideals by pre-
senting to the eye these ideals in liv-
ing form. BY the type of animal, agri-
cultural or domestic product which is
called for in the premium list and
given first place by the Judge, the fair
places before many people the good or
bad ideal accordingly as the premium
list is made and the judge of ability or
lack of ability is selected
when the farm boy or girl who
sees the first prize product or animal
contrasted side by side with those
that failed to win, he goes home with
this animal or product indelibly fixed
in his mind to bring his animals or
products up to that ideal.
Eyes, our fairs have great mission
in setting ideals, and it is mighty i'm
portant that the ideals set forth shall
he correct. Wisconsin, through it's eX-
pertinent station and specialists along
various agricultural lines, has worked
out proper types of animals and farm
products. Fair secretaries should Sc
farm products which shese men and
institutions are advocating. BY such
cooperative action the great educa.
tiona1 work of the state will be most
quickly accomplished"
Commissioner Norgord presented
plans whereby the large boys and
girls contests, which are to be held at
the state fair, should be first run off at
the county fairs, and prizes provided
be in the nature of transportation to
the state fair, where winners at the
county fairs are to meet in the great
state contest for judging animals and
farm products of all kinds, and where
the competition in farm products pre-
scented by the young people from al
parts of the state will be run off. He
also showed where local COW competi
tions in the production of milk and
butter fat could be conducted.
