How Counties Got Their Names.

Pierce and Polk counties were
named in honor of Franklin Pierce
and James X. Polk, presidents of the
United States. In all eight presidents
of the United States, Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson,
Polk, PIERCE and Lincoln, have Wis
consin counties named in their homo,
Two other counties, Grant and Tay-
lor, incidentally bear the names of
presidents, although not named for
them.
Portage county preserves, although
no longer by right, the memory of
what in the early days was perhaps
the most important feature of the
geography of Wisconsin. Before the
building of the white mans roads
practically all travel and transporta-
ton was by water. In the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers Nature provided a
highway ready-made connecting the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi; it
was broken only for the short dis
lance separating the Fox and the
Wisconsin. Here, of course, canoes
and their contents must be carried or
portrayed" from one stream to the
other The Fox-Wisconsin Portage.
no longer within the bounds of Port
age county, is one of the best known
portages in the early history of Am
erica.

civil action brought against the owner
by the government. The bureau OF
chemistry of the department of agri-

bulletin: 'In the opinion of the de-
partment, eggs which contain yolk
stuck to the she'll mOdly eggs, black
spots, mixed rots, added yolks and
any other egg which consists wholly
or in part of filthy, decomposed or

ARMY SURGEONS SET EXAMPLE

Remarkable advances have been
made in military hygiene, medicine
and sugery, since the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, according to Major Stod-
dard, Of Medical Corps of Wisconsin
National Guard, now in Milwaukee on
leave of absence from his post with
the Wisconsin troops at San Antonio,
Texas. The care that is now taken of
the health and physical condition of
the soldiers would seem to make a
| repetition of the disease epidemics of
our last war impossible.
Every man who has a temperature
Of 1O1 or over is Immediately sent to
the hospital where his case is studied
with such attention as is seldom given
III any but the best hospitals in the
country. Laboratory tests and all of
the modern methods of examination
are employed to discover in the brief
est possible time just what the dis
order may be. But the efforts to pre-
vent soldier from becoming ill are of
greater Importance.
Twice each month complete ply
steal examination is made of each man
and the slightest disorders are cor
rected. AS a result, DR.. Stoddard
states that the men will return home
from the border in a much higher
state of physical health and strength
than that in which they left
The minutest details relating to the
surroundings, the food, and drink of
the men, receive painstaking attention
in order that there shall not be in the
defenses, the slightest gap though
which preventable disease might en-
ter the ranks. The men may not
drink any water which has not been
proved safe by microscopic examina-
ton.
Special policing is maintained to
see that stragglers on the marches do
not carelessly ignore disease preven-
ton measures when beyond the sight

Doctor StOddard maintains that the
men who have lived for some months

seen and felt the value of attention

return with convictions that their
homes, cities, and villages should be
