FAIR PREMIUM LIST
WILL Be REVISED
Advisory Board Contemplate
Many important Changes.
TO ABOLISH ANVIL CHORUS
Special Efforts Being Made to
Strengthen the Boys and Girls
Exhibit and Contest De-
partment.

Madison.-The premium list for the
1916 state fair is being prepared by the
Wisconsin department of agriculture.
The revision is more thorough and is
being made by a committee of five
members OF the advisory board and Of
f1cials of the state fair division of the
department
A number of changes are being
made in classifcations in order that
all classes may be brought up to
date and the possible competition pro-
vided in each department.
Special efforts are being made to
strengthen the boys and girls exhibit
and contest department. This depart
ment was created this year and is
the beginning of one Of the strongest
divisions of the fair. The amount of
money to be awarded in this depart
ment will be larger than in 1915, and
several competitions will be added.
It has been decided to drop the
blacksmiths' contest and the boys
aviation department. Money given
~
the boys and girls department.
An effort will be made at all times
to strengthen all departments having
to do with agriculture.
A worlds record was established by
the dairy department in 1915, and the
prospects are that the 1915 record will
be exceeded in 1915.
New swine and sheep barns, and
the fact that the fair will be open
to worldwide competition, insures rec
ord breaking swine and sheep exhibit
in 1916. In the cattle and horse de-
partments prospects for record-break-
ing showings are excellent.
Supt. E. T.. Luther expects more
than thirty-fve county exhibits in 1916.
Already the following counties have
voted to exhibit: Wood, Sawyer, Onei-
da, Ozaukee and Milwaukee.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Anxiety in
official circles increased when it was
learned that press dispatches from
London reported the sinking Of an
other British liner, the P. & o. steam
er Geelong. No word Of the latest
disaster had reached the State de-
partment. Official reports on the
sinking Of the Geeiong and Of the
GengyIe, sunk since the Persia was
torpedoed, will be awaited with grave
interest.
The situation is regarded in official
circles as being the most critical to
confront this government since the
submarine operations of the Teutons
began.

with pink, flesh, maize and gray lead
ing, and rose color we'll liked. Two
color combinations are popular, es-
pecially where gray is one of them.
The employment of two fabrics in the
body of one blouse makes opportunity
for color contrast, and there are many
blouses of chiffon joined to taffeta or
crepe or other material by hemstitch-
ing.
For travelling or general wear
blouses of chiffon in the darker cOlors
show overlays of ribbon or taffeta
silk in the same color. Chiffon in
plaids, like those in heavier silks, is
very effectively combined with plain
silk for utility blouses, and hem
stitching is an ever-present means Of
decorative sewing, when they are
joined.
A blouse of f1esh-colored crepe is
shown in the picture, having small
figures embroidered at each side OF
the front.

CRISIS BRINGS WILSON BACK
RELATIONS OF U. S. WITH TRU.
TONIC POWERS GRAVE.
President Returns From Honeymoon
to Confer With Lansing on Sub
marine Campaign.

Washington, Jan. 4.-President Will
son has cut short his honeymoon and
was expected back at the White House
Tuesday morning to assume charge Of
the new crisis in foreign relations
caused by the submarine campaign in
the Mediterranean with loss of Ameri-
can lives. He reached this decision
upon learning Of the sinking of the
Glengyle and other steamers Monday.
In the meantime Secretary Lansing
announced he had instructed Ambas-
sador Penfeld at Vienna to ask the
Austrian government for any informa-
ton which might establish the nation
atty of the submarine which is said
to have sunk the Persia and which
would develop the facts in the case.

May Ask Pledge Of Allies.

No definite plans for bringing about
definite show down" with the Teu-
tons are outlined. One of the plans
tentatively discussed is that of ask
Ing the Allies to pledge that no pas
senger ships will carry guns or arma-
ment of any kind With this pledge
given. it is believed that an under
standing may be reached with the
Teutons.
Although the situation looks crit
cal, there are indications that it is
not SO strained that it cannot be rem
edied At the Austrian embassy the
impression is being assiduousIy given
out that a proper understanding will
be reached so soon as the facts are
known relative to the sinking of the
Persia and other ships sunk, such as
the Glengyle and the Geelong The
suggestion relative to the pledge not
to carry guns on belligerent passen-
ger ships, also carries suggestion
Of a possibility of negotiations out of
which may come another period of
comparative peace.

To Notify ReIliaerents.

Secretary Lansing said some action
would be taken to formally notify Tur-
key and Bulgaria of the attitude Of
the United States toward submarine
warfare, SO that all the Central Power
belligerents operating in the Mediter-
ranean might not be uninformed.
During the forenoon Baron Zweid-
mex, charge of the Austrian embassy,
called on Secretary Lansing and asked
that judgment be withheld until all
the facts we're known and expressed
his belief that a final explanation
would be satisfactory. He also sought
any available information for the bene
fit of his government.
Would Give Satisfaction.
Baron ZWeidenik also assured Sec
rotary Lansing that if it were proved
that an Austrian submarine had sunk
the Persia his government would give
full reparation and satisfaction

Congress has re-conyened. Already

Responsibility Shifted.
On the face Of it, it appears that
first Germany runs amuck with sub
marines and, called to a halt, Austria
follows, assuming the responsibility.
Austria apparently adheres to the
American demands and then com

activity with the possible responsible

Thin Folks Who

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or More

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or More
'Id certainly give most anything to be
able TO fat up a few pounds and stay that
way" declares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such a result is not impossible,
despite past failures. Most thin people are
victims OF mal-nutriton. a condition which
prevents the fatty elements OF food from be-
ing taken up by the blood as they are when
the powers OF nutrition are normal. Instead
OF getting into the blood. much of the fat
and flesh producing elements stay in the in
testines until they pass from the body as
waste
To correct this condition and to produce
a healthy normal amount OF fat. the nutri-
tive processes must be artihcially supplied
with the power which nature has denied them.
This can probably best be accomplished by
eating Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
