WOMEN SUFFERERS
need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
IF the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be Respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con
ditions.
Get fifty cent or one dollar bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Or.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Syracuse made professionals out OF
every team it played afterwards.
Many of the 1915 football players
will compete in baseball, track and
field and rowing affairs in the spring.
By their presence on those teams they
will cause their amateur associates to
become professionals and will throw
into the professional class all the anna
teurs against whom they compete.
In short, the fact that George Brick
ley was allowed to play with the Trim
ity eleven in 1915 when the fact was
generally known that he was in the
professional class has so tainted ath-
letic affairs in the various colleges
that before the end of this school year
there will not be dozen absolutely
pure college athletes among the tens
of thousands that began the 1915-1916
college year.

NEW SYSTEM WILL
SAVE STATE MONEY
Board Of Education Works Out
Accounting System.
MAY CENTRALIZE PURCHASING
Theodore kronshage, Jr., of Normal
Regents Asserts That the Eficien-
cy Saving Will Reach Large
Proportions Annually.

Madison-The uniform accounting
system now being worked out by the
state board of education for the insti-
tutions under it's supervision will make
the administration of each school a
unit of the entire state educational
system.
This statement was made by Theo-
dore Kronshage, Jr., member of the
board of normal regents, in explain
ing the plans of the state board OF
education.
The new system win be far reach
ing. 1t not only is intended to place
the state educational institutions on a
strictly efficient business basis, but it
leads the way to reforms which will
mean a large annual saving to the
state, Mr.. Kronshage said.
In addition to giving a uniform
classification of accounts the new
plan contemplates manner of audit
ing bills under which the state can
take advantage of discounts offered"
said Mr.. Kronshage. 'This will mean
a great saving to the state in gas,
light and telephone bills alone, not to
speak of the saving possible in the
purchase of supplies, etc, for the in
stitutions."
Mr.. Kronshage cited one instance
where a firm gives six per cent dis
count for cash in ten days, which the
state cannot take advantage of under
the present methods, but which will
be possible under the new auditing
system.
The system will pave the way, too,
to a purchasing system, where all
materials and supplies used in all state
educational institutions viii be bought
together, thus giving the state the ad-
vantage of the small unit price for
each material which large purchases
insure.

the wishes Of the father. Now Koji
is even a bigger man in Japan than if
he had pursued his studies and re-
turned home with his diploma.
Since coming to this country he
played sensational game. Perhaps
the best match in which he has ap-
peared was the one early in the sum-
mer with Willie Hoppe in New York.
The champion was given the hardest
battle of his career, and the Jap lost
in AL match by only six points.
The most wonderful thing about Yam
ada is that his game has constantly
improved, and his skill will be
watched with much interest when he
appears in the coming championship
games.

KOJI YAMADA'S CAREER
Abandoned Course at Heidelberg
University in Germany.
Famous Japanese Billiard Player
Lured to Game by Chance-Added
Much Impetus to Gentleman's
Sport in His Country.

ForsakiDg what promised to be
brilliant career as a surgeon to De-
come a billiard champion is the story
of Koji Yamada, the Jap, VINO is d
member of the Champion Billiard
Players league.
Yamada's father is classed among
the most prosperous and progressive
citizens of Japan. He was ambitious
for distinguished career for his son,
and desired him to have the best ad-
yantages of education which the world
could offer. With this in view, it was
decided that Koji should attend the
University of Heidelberg, Germany,
and prepare himself for the practice
of surgery.
Koii was not only willing but en-
thusiastic, and for time was one OF
the most promising of the young stu
dents al the German university IL
was merely by accident that hoJl
found out that he would be more sue
cessful as billiard player than as
surgeon
From the first he not only showed
remarkable skill as billiard player,
but became so fascinated with the
game that he spent more time at the
Students club billiard hall than he did
at the lecture room.
When Koji returned home he failed
to bring a diploma from Heidelberg,
but he did bring with him the billiard
championship of Germany. This fact
had much to do with adding an i'm
petus to the game in Japan, and be-
fore coming to America Koji had ac-
complished the easy task of annexing
the championship of his own country
and the somewhat more difficult task
of renewing the confidence of a father
in son who had gone contrary to

Income TAX Collections.

A total income tax of S3,S5S,9S4 has
been assessed in Wisconsin and
is now being collected according
to announcements at the state tax
commission. OF this total, $2,460,36l
is assessed against corporations anc
S1,393,52 against individuals. Over
forty per cent of the total income tax
assessed will be collected in Milwau-
kee county alone. Compared with last.
year there has been slight falling
off in the income tax Las year the
total amount assessed was 81, 140,571.
Up until this year there has been
a gradual increase in the amount OF
income tax assessed. In 1911, the
year the law became operative, total
of $3,482, 145 was assessed, Of which
1921, 4S5 was assessed against cor
porations and $560,6S7 against individ-
uals. In 1912 the total assessment
was $4,0S4,497 of which $2,795,184 was
assessed against corporations and
$1,423,914 against individuals. Last
year the total assessment was S4,-
140,571, of which $2,716,637 was as
sessed against corporations and $1,423,-
GA against individuals
Owing to the fact that the income
tax law permits the use of personal
tax receipts as an Offset, the result
has been that only about fifty per cent
of the amount assessed is collected in
cash. In 1911, when the assessment
was S34S2145. the amount collected
in cash was 1851, 426. In 1912 the
cash collected was S1,902,9SS and in
1918 it was S2,So3,S42 The collection
of the tax is always over year be-
hind the assessment. The tax collect
ed this year is On business TRANSACTED
in the year 1914
The total amounts assessed against
the corporations and incomes in some
of the larger counties of the state are
as follows: Milwaukee, S1,733, 626.16;
Racine, $205. 694.67; Kenosha, $119,-
105.7S; Winnebago, sos, 754.89; Dane.
$685. 01.92; Ashland, s42,419.11; Doug
las, $S2,936.35; Green, $22,347.18;
Rock, 91.O4O36; La Crosse, $95,37S.32;
Brown, $71 ,O51; Sheboygan, $93,71S,26,
and Manitowoc, $72,926.35.
OF the total amount of income tax
collected, 70 per cent goes to the local
ity in which the income is assessed
20 per cent goes TO The county and
ten per cent to the state. IN round
numbers the amount which goes to the
state is approximately 100000.

GUNNER HAS A TEASING BLOW
HandsIap - Most Aggravating

Gunboat Smith merely chuckles

Gunner was '.'booed" for Tipping the
heel of his glove upward against the

"That's one of the best little punches

"and it's perfectly legitimate, too.

that I just brush my knuckles up

him under the nose. 1t doesn't really

hours at the old school building in this

ers and businessmen. Mr.. Frazier
made an excellent impression as he
outlined the principles of the non-par-
tisan league, which organization is re-
sponsible for his nomination. Mr..
Frazier made mighty good campaign
speech for man who probably never
made a public speech before the pres
ent campaign. Among other things he
said that there was too much graft in
the business of conducting the affairs
of the state. He told of letter he
received from man who wants to be-
come warden Of the penitentiary. The
salary is $265 per month and the man
wrote Mr.. that he could handle
the job for $165 per month and wanted
to know if he knew of any place where
the other $100 could be used to advan-
tage. Mr. Frazier stated that the man
he selects for the job will have to
earn the money, as will the other ap-
pointees.

SOLDIER NEPHEW DIED
Harold Patton, Member of the 48th
Highlanders, Met Death in France
Only Two of 1902 Left

The great war has brought sadness
to at least one Minot home. DR.. Archie
D. MCDANIEL received a telegram from
his eldest sister, Mrs. Patton of Toron-
to, Can, Monday stating that her only
son, Harold, had died of wounds re-
ceived in fighting in the trenches in
France.
Harold was a member Of the 48th
Highlanders, who marched away from
Toronto shortly after the war broke
out, 100 strong. Not member of
the 48th was less than six feet in
height and Harold, then youth of 20,
stood six feet two. He had been the
champion basketball player Of the
whole of Toronto and was young
giant in proportions. For 22 months
he fought in the trenches and on June
8 last he was wounded while fighting
in the battle of Ypres. He was in the
hospital for time but recovered and
went back into the trenches. DR.. Nc
Camel received letter from his sis
ter Monday morning telling of Har-
old's last sickness but the young sol
dier in order to keep his mother from
worrying wrote that he would soon be
we'll again. That afternoon the sad
telegram arrived. Out of the 1102 of
the 4Sth Highlanders who left Toron-
to, only two are now left.
