WINTER TONIC FREE

Take plenty of the right kind of
winter tonic and you will have little
need Of the time-honored spring ton
ic of your grandmother's day.
The best kind of winter tonic comes
in the guise of out-of-door winter
sports for the principal ingredients
in the tonic are fresh air, exercise,
and joyousness Of spirit. Having
a good time in the right environ
ment is great health giver. So get
out your skates, your toboggan or
your bob, dress warmly and lightly
and use your leisure to make the
wind, the cold and the snow your
friends and allies instead Of hiding
away from them as much as possible
and thus turning them into enemies
to be feared. Don't let the children
have a monopoly on the fun of slid
ing down the hill Slide down with
the youngsters and convince your
selves that you are not too old to
have a good time with them. It will
be good thing for your health and
for the health Of your family.
The city of Madison has done
fine thing in setting aside half a doZ-
en- or more of its hills for coasting
and giving them police protection.
Teams and automobiles must take
other thoroughfares and the coasters
have the right Of way. Lagoons are
turned into skating Kinks and Out-of-
door recreation is being encouraged.
Other Wisconsin cities, where the
natural right of the boy and girl to
use the hills for sport has been stol-
en- away bit by bit, would do we'll to
follow Madison's example It is more
inexpensive than providing play
ground equipment for the summer
time and much more necessary.
Finding opportunity, for fun is COM
paratively easy in warm weather. 1t
is different thing in winter and the
city which has the real welfare Of it's
people at heart will make sure that
winter Fairgrounds, such as protect
ed hills and skating ponds are avail
able.
Country people, who are more for
tunate in the undisputed possessions
of hills which have not yet been
transformed into travelled roads and
Of countless ponds for skating need
to wake up to the health giving val
ne as we'll as the fun which lies in
these too-often neglected resources.
Time spent in getting health is not
time wasted and there is no better
way Of getting health than by COM
bining exercise and pleasure and
mixing them thoroughly with fresh
air. Don't let the bracing quality
of the winter air go to waste. Make
it your own, build up your resistance
power, and get yourself into such
physical condition that grippe and
colds will hesitate to tackle you. 1t
can de done and there's great fun to
be had in the doing.

lectual powers found employment in
the acquisition Of knowledge. Judge
Weld was a great consumer OF facts.
He devoured books. His mind ranged
through all the departments of truth,
scientific, literary, philosophical, le-
gal, historical and theological. He
could converse with interest upon
any theme from the Archaeology Of
the Orient to the latest invention of
modern science; or from the obstruse
metaphysics Of the schoolmen to the
most recent fad in philosophy, and
all with most bewildering ease. Had
the circumstances of his life been
different he might have lighted the
lamp Of a great legal reputation and
been CONSPICUOUS in the Northwest as
an advocate at the bar. Had he
cherished political ambitions and
pursued them he might have obtain
ed preferment in the state and ma
tons councils from this district.
But on the contrary he was content
to serve and was consumed by the
Joy Of the work in hand. He gave
his time, his talent, his life to the
service of others, and found in the
people Of these few counties the field
Of his life's work, and that too with
the paltriest of compensation or none
at all, save the gratitude Of those he
helped and the inward consciousness
Of a deed we'll done. This JOY of
service to which others have bourn
tribute was one Of his most beautiful
traits. 1t bulks high in the memory
of his friends. When asked for ser
vice it never occurred to him to ask,
What is there in it for me?" AS a
result he probably leaves no large
estate. He administrated it as he
went along, and SO churches and
schoolhouses and dwellings which he
planned at the request of friends;
estates which he helped widows and
orphans to settle at least expense,
enterprises Of community value that
he promoted, kind deeds that he per-
formed for strangers and friends
and then forgot; these and things
Ii11o unto 4L,o,oo o,oo 4bo ~, O,o111,onyo+ bo
leaves much more precious than any
pile OF shining gold.
A soul that so found joy in service
must have been been and was sus-
tanned by high ideals. Judge Weld
believed in righteousness and unself-
ishness and laid upon his own con-
science the demands thereof. He
always did his duty to the last full
measure as he understood it. Those
who knew him longest and best be-
lieved him incapable of dishonor
Designing men may have misled him,
for he trusted others. He may have
made mistakes, for to err is human,
but they cannot conceive that he ev-
er consented to what he thought to
be wrong. He was for many years
an influential member and officer in
the Congregational church and one
Of its most liberal supporters to the
last.
On November 80, 1871, he was
married to Miss Alice Powell of Riv-
er Falls, who, with their children,
Miss Laura Weld of the Platteville
state normal school faculty and Ly-
man P. Weld of Boulder, Col, sur
vive him. The services on Sunday
were attended by every official of
Pierce county and many members Of
the St. Croix Valley bar association,
as we'll as by a great company of
friends and relatives from the city
and elsewhere.

by the following figures:
Herd No. Best Cow Poores

Farmers who have tested their COWS
say many times that the ones they
considered the best were in many cases
inferior to others in the herd. A strik-
ing illustration of the fact that the
test and scales is the only method of
knowing the best COWS is shown in
these figures taken from the herd
books Of the members. In one herd
COW produced 9247 pounds of milk,
testing 81 per cent. making for the
year 251 pounds Of fat. In another
herd an animal gave 1880 pounds of
milk testing 81 per cent. with 461
pounds of fat. Here is the case of a
cow producing BIT pounds less milk,
but yielding 210 pounds more fat. AS
the average price Of fat last year was
81 cents, this leaves a difference of
$4,000 in favor of the COW producing
the smaller total yield of milk. The
cost of feed for the 251-pound COW
was $4,000; that Of the other $4,000,
leaving a net difference Of $3.50. In
practically all herds fat tests range
from to or per cest. the differ
ence of which can only be determined
by testing. The length of time requir
ed to make high yielding herd de-
pnds much on the COWS from which the
heifers are selected. By testing, the
farmer has the actual figures relating
to the merits Of his cows and he is in
position to make a more intelligent
selection.
1t is interesting to. note the differ
ences in cows in the following table:

MINISTERS AT COLLEGE PARK
Show Themselves Capable on Con-
ference Floor, in Dining Hall
And on The Ball Diamond

The third Country Life Conference at
College Park. came to close last
Friday after the most successful ses-
sion it has ever held. The good fellow
ship was enhanced this year by q series
Of games and athletic events led by F.
3. Freeman Of Y M. c. A. The
preachers took of their coats, collars
and ties, and played with abandon.
There was a ball game each night in
which the ministers proved themselves
to be no mean players. The athletic
feature was largely a new one and its
repetition at next years conference
was requested as most of the par
Elephants learned games which they can
teach their boys of the church and the
Sunday School
The attendance reached over the
hundred mark making it the largest
conference Of its kind in the United
States. The speakers pronounced it
the best in program and in spirit that
they have ever attended.
DR.. H. J Patterson was reelected
President and a permanent organization
effected.
The County Life Movement has as it's
object the developing Of a fuller and
happier life for.all people in the coun-
try and especially a square deal for the
boys and girls. The addresses Of ClaX-
ton, Persons. FELTON, and the others all
had in view that very purpose and it is
safe to say the College Park effort has
helped the country ministers in their
difficult work.

The archaelagists who are traversing
the Susquehanna River Valley, visiting
sites OF Indian villages and digging up
relies, are said to have made a most
astounding discovery on the Murray
farm, near Athens. Pa, in finding the
bones OF slXty-eight prehistoric men.
The average height Of these men
when their skeletons were assembled
was seven feet, while many were
much taller. Additional evidence of
their gigantic size is found in the
massive stone battle axes in their
graves. The average age of these men
is said to have been from thirty to
forty.
Another amazing point of this dis,
covery is the allegation that perfectly
formed skulls were found from which
horns grew straight out from the
head.

pleased them. 1t did not, however, in
woke the same enthusiasm that greeted
3 spontaneously Mr.. Hughes first tele-
graph of acceptance to the Chicago
convention.
This is not saying that official and
political Washington is disappointed
with The Hughes speech. The people,
with precor ceived notions of what he
would saw, read it with precouceived
preJudices. Republicans said for publ
cation that they liked it. Some Dem
ocrats smiled. but didn't seem even to
smart under it, though the Admins

Among the group of correspondents
and others who try to look at things
fairly here and who would Just as soon
have John Smith as Tom Jones in the
White House provided his intentions
were coed and his execution Of policy
sincere and efficient. there was much
favorable comment on the Hughes
speech 1t didn't arouse fanatical ex-
aItation anywhere. No one threw up
his hat for JOY, but the clarity of the
Indictment, the forcefulness of the
words, the conviction they seemed to
carry suggested ever so strongly the
the power of personality Of the man be-
hind the words.
But while there were many portions
Of the speech that were admirably
worked out. such as the Mexican
criticism and the Administration $
surrender on civil service reform and
other fragrant expediences Of selfish
politics, the feeling Of friendly critics
was that MIR. Hughes tried to do too
much in one speech and consequently
was not as specific as he might have
been.

I What does President Wilson and the

Hughes speech of acceptance? WeNif
the manner Of its reception at the por-
tals Of the White House today were to
be described with cyrisism, it might
t,uthfullv be said that the Democrats
were joyful, pleased, happy, contented.
Theirs, however. was tie kind Of ex-
post facto joy sometimes admirably ex-
pressed in the veroacular ut might
have been worse.
On the theory that each man knows
himself best. both as to his virtues and
his weaknesses, the Administration
folk chuckled in secret satisfaction, that
the really vulnerable and indefensible
parts OF the Administration escaped
Mr.. Hughes judicial eye and that he
hammered away for most part on non
