VARIETIES OF NEWS

News from all battle fronts. News
from Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson.
News, in the form of profound quiet,
from Oyster Bay. News of murders,
suicides, bank robberies, automobile
accidents, drownings, foods and straw
votes. But this, in all humility, is not
the real news. The real news is that
Bill has got raise, that Jim and Sally
are at last engaged, that John Smith,
who lives the other side of the ridge,
has reshingled his barn, and that the
baby has gained two pounds and has
a tooth. World news ig much in
demand, or this newspaper would not
exist and these words would stand
no chance of being printed, but world
news is generally only a spectacle,
and the real news is what happens to
ourselves and to our friends and rela-
tives. The great issues of politics
thin out when they are closely exam
ined. They are as much a pageant as
those ancient triumphal professions
with which the Roman emperors used
to convince the populace of the glory
of Rome. In certain moods the
thoughtful citizen must find some
thing trife boyish (girlish, too, it
will be after the suffrage amendment
is passed. in the solemn conflicts Of
the political forum-we pretend that
they mean so much and they actually
mean so little. An imaginary entity,
called the nation, f1ourishes or decays
under good or evil guidance, but it's
influence on the lives of individuals is
painfully-or ortunately-small. It's
acts are moving pictures on a screen;
we go home to hear the unacceptable
news of birth, life and death.

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing q
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
sure that nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment if
the child does not eat Will not correct
the difficulty.
A ftful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
Dr. Williams Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens a girl lays the foun-
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest Importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak d safe
tonic and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.

Concerning correct spelling, wheth-
er by eye or ear, the case is at pres
ent so hopeless that the high school
or even the college graduate who
can spell correctly is, to the reader
of examination papers, a somewhat
rare phenomenon. That the lack
of the phonographically cultivated
eye is the cause of plumbers which
occur in the publications of educa-
tional institutions, where the proofs
are read by professors or other sub
jects rather than professional proof
readers, one is not prepared to say.
But it might we'll be in the case of

Beyond the simplest principles,
grammar should not be made a study
in the public schools-and even to this
extent it should be taught as illus

when so large a proportion of the
teachers themselves are neither users
nor lovers of good, plain English; or
readers, except as compelled by their
school duties, of the best English lit
erature?
''The excessive use made of the

Con,pangA

On Wednesday afternoon the rem
nant of "Old Company A." residing
at Baraboo gathered at the home of
Comrade Lieutenant Isaac Fort and
held very enjoyable campfire. There
were present Lieutenant Isaac Fort,
Corporal Geo. A. Harp, Privates Dan
lei Worth and Manford Bump. Lieu
tenant MAR Pointon, who now resides
at Bedford, Virginia, and Corporal A.
F. F. Jensen, residing at Reedsburg,
sent letters Of regrets, he being phys
ically unable to attend, which was
much regretted by all of us. The
time was pleasantly spent in review
ing the campaigns they participated
in and recOunting "reminiscences of
their service. Captain Pointon gave
a very interesting description of the
battlefelds earthworks and fortifica-
tions around Richmond, Petersburg
and Fredericksburg as they appear
today, after so years of destruction
by the elements and the hands of man;
also of the kindly reception extended
to him and his family by General
Lees old veterans, and of the changes
that have taken place in the south
since the war.
Our hostess, Mrs. Fort, did not for
get the old boys and provided fine
refreshments, which brought forth
many compliments from the old fell
lows.
1t was a very enjoyable meeting
and in all probability, the last gath
ering of Company A.

sons.
If in the past six months $50, 1000, 900
has been put into the drilling of new
wells, as asserted, then the supply of
crude oil ought to be enlarged and i'm
proved But the European war has
created a vast demand for the prod
ucts of crude petroleum, including gas
oline, and especially for gasoline. And
the immense development of the use
of motor cars in America is an ele-
ment that cannot be neglected. If
cheap tractors for farm work were to
come into use commonly there would
be fresh draft on the supply, fresh
excuse for further price-lifting.
Americans are philosophical. In the
absence of evidence that the sources
of production are being neglected or
monopolized, no great agitation is to
be anticipated. We shall pay what is
asked and look as pleasant as we can.
But if such evidence of monopoly or
restraint of production should be Of
fered there would be strong feeling
for national or state action. The bur-
den of proof is on the supplying in
terests. They can prevent indigna-
ton only by convincing us that they
are doing the square thing.

WOULD PREPARE FOR PEACE

At Menominee Falls an address was
made by Senator r. M LaFollette in
which he said that the new prepared
ness program before congress would
mean an indirect tax of eight dollars
on every man, woman and child in the
state of Wisconsin. The senator said
that Wisconsins share of this vast
appropriation of $40, 100000 would be
about $2O,OOO,OOO. Senator La Toilette
would prepare, not for war, but for
peace. Among other things he said:
Let us prepare the manhood and
wOmanhod of our country for the
struggles of peace. More compensa-
ton for the industrial soldiers who
fall by the wayside by reason of the
hazards of their occupatins; more

Costly Was
TIE Cneeze

Last year a Baraboo fisherman suf-
fered the destruction Of his trousers
and had to telephone for first aid. A
few days ago another angler sneeZed
while on the river and his store speci-
mems went to the bottom. This pro-
voked the following:
Fisherman's luck, well | should say
The way it happened the other day,
When four sturdy men to the river
went
Their hearts and minds on fishing
bent.
AS they sat in the boat on the waters
blue,
What should one of the party do
But decide at once his teeth to shed
And let them fall in the rivers bed!
| would like to ask you to explain,
Why part with teeth that gave no
pain?
IT'S the "finny tribe" that cut such a
caper;
1t isn't true to human nature.
But if you regret it and would like to
recover
The loss you sustained when down
on the river,
With breathing tube dive to the
river bed,
That's the only hope can see ahead
For you to reclaim your molars, the
friends sincere
That served you faithfully for many a
year.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
