QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Decentralization: What is the
procedure adopted in deciding contest
ed electionsP Answer: In case of
disputes as to the result Of any cleo
ton In the United States, the alleged
victim of fraud or violation of election
laws has the right to appeal from the
decision of election officials. If 1t be q
question of seat in the Senate or the
House of Representatives, the com
plainant may present his evidence to
the Committee on Elections (House)
or the Committee on Privileges and
Elections (Senate,) who review the
case, and whose decision Is final. For
members Of State Legislature, the
action is similar to the procedure in
Congress.
If the presidency of the United States
is involved, the alleged fraud must
first be investigated in the State where
the frauds were said to occur. To
prevent the recurrence of any such
contest as the Hayes-Tilden one of 1876,
Congress enacted law in 1887 which
provides that each State, by It's own
laws, may designate a tribunal which
shall determine what electoral votes
from the State are legal votes; If no
such tribunal has been appointed in
case OF double returns, the vote of the
State is lost, unless the two Houses
agree as to which returns are legal.

The Golden Fleece.

The Order of the Golden Fleece Is
bit of royal foolishness instituted
by Philip the Good of Burgundy,
about 1920, on account, 1t Is said, of
the profit that had come to him by
wool-raisng. The order Is still in ex-
istence, its membership being confined
to the rulers and crown princes Of
Europe, with now and then an Asiatic
potentate.

The parlor as a parlor Will soon be
relic of the past The very name
seems to suggest stiffness and lack of
comfort. The new houses will have
the best room, the one in which the
whole family gathers, a warm, sunny
place, home room in It's truest
sense. The next generation will not
waste space on parlors. Perhaps a
little library, for privacy will also
be Indispensable to many. This CHEEKY
room OF the future Will hold the piano,
the general books, The pictures, work
baskets and everything that serves to
make home haven Of rest for loyal
hearts. Speed the day.

MUSIC CLUBS MEET.

The Music Department of the Wis

under Mrs. Elizabeth Bintliff OF Ripon
college, met last Thursday afternoon
at Milwaukee; and the Board of Dir
ectors of the Wisconsin Federation OF
Music Clubs had an all day session in
that city on Friday Nov. 10, in charge
of Mrs. J. II. Stspleton, State Pres
dent.
Besides matters pertaining es-
pecially to the organization, some vital
matters were discussed OF distinct i'm
portance to the communities through
out the state.-The first Is relative to
the qualifications OF music teachers or

Mrs. Bintliff heads board Of five
qualified examiners, authorized by the
State Music Teachers Association,
who last April conducted an examina'
ton of people essaying the teaching Of
music. The questions belonged to the
lowest grade Of certificate granted to
those aspiring to teach. OF the II
volunteer public school teachers Of
music only passed, OF the Al piano
teachers, but l6 qualified, and the one
voice teacher, a woman who dared the
examination also passed.
A second matter discussed related to
Credits for music study in public
schools" Many young folks continue
piano or violin study, g. g., throughout
their high school course, and it is con-
tended that il they are able to pass a
good examination before competent
examining board, that they should re
ceive credit on their high school
course therefore. 1t is now consid
cred by leading educators that there
is no study OF more value in the cur
riculum, as means Of education char.

EFFECT OF GAS POISONING
Absorption of Carbon Monoxide Given
by Scientist as the Real Cause
of Death.

Breathing of furnace gas, smoke In
burning buildings, the "after damp" of
explosions of coal dust, etc, has
caused many deaths. Such deaths are
due to poisoning by carbon monoXide.
How this kills is described In the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton by Prof. Yandell Henderson of
Yale university
Carbon monoXide has an avidity for
hemoglobin, the red coloring matter
Of the blood, with which it forms the
same combination as does oxygen, only
250 times as powerful. It's poisonous
effects appear to be due to the result
ing decrease in the oxygen-carrying
power of the blood"
1t is, however, misapprehenSon to
suppose that this combination is per-
manent. A man brought out to the
fresh air, or, better still, to whom air
mixed with oxygen can be admins
tered, will generally recover. If he
does not regain consciousness he will
die in few days. This is not due to
retention of carbon monoXide by the
blood, but Is the result of injury to the
brain and nervous system, due to in
sufficient oxygen supplied to the blood
while the patient was breathing the
gas.
"As a rough estimate" says Pro-
fessor Henderson, 'it may be stated
that usually man will die who has
breathed CO per cent of carbon mon
oxide mixed with air which is in other
respects normal, for four or five hours,
or o. Per cent for one hour. With
from 2 to per cent of carbon mon
oxide death follows almost as quickly
as in drowning"

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc.
rious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine He knows that I'M.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy is
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-R Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $lO0.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

FRESH AIR A MILK PRODUCER
LARGEST Returns Need Not Be Ex-
pected From Animals Where Barns
Are Poorly Ventilated.

Ventilation of barns usually Is even
more deficient than window space and
to this lack of proper ventilation vet.
erinarians attribute, in large meas
ure, the prevalence of tuberculosis.
But, aside from safeguarding the
health of both the owners family and
his cattle, good ventilation is econ
omy.
Perfect assimilation of food is no
more possible in the body of an ami
NAL without a sufficient supply of air
than is perfect combustion of fuel in
a furnace with the draft closed.
In order that milk cows or beef anil
mails may respond to an increased ra-
ton of feed, more air must be supplied
for its combustion as surely as that
a furnace requires more air for a
heavy than light fire.
In other words-the amount of milk
or beef produced by the animal and
the amount of heat produced in the
furnace depend as much on the air
supply as on the amount of food and
fuel.
If barn is poorly ventilated it is
futile, therefore, to expect the largest
returns in beef or milk for the feed
consumed.

Wash away all the, stomach, IiV-

you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa

phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen.

Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al.
most tasteless, except sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.

LEIGH ONCE HIGHLY PRICED
In Days That Have Long Gone BY the
BIoodsucker Was Considered
of Value.

Our great-grandfather regarded the
leech as a sort of first-aid outfit in
case of sickness. In the days when
blood-letting was popular panacea
the physician would have worried less
over the loss of his pill box than over
the death of this little worm. And
so long as blood-letting was popular
there was nothing to match the eff
cheney of the leech.
Nature fitted him for the task to
which the physician adapted him.
Long before he was used on humans
the leech was performing operations
Of his own on fish, frogs and other
neighbors of his in the mud and slime
at the bottom Of his marsh home.
His operating tools consist of cup
like sucker at the end of his tail and
another at his mouth. Also at his
mouth are three semicircular, sharp
toothed jaws, which he works togeth-
er like a saw. With these he cuts his
way through the scales of fish and
reaches the blood.
Then the leech's wormlike body be
gins to expand. He has II pairs of
sacks in his stomach and he must fill
all these before he is satisfied. He
drinks until he is from two to three
times his natural size.
The leech is liveliest in day time,
and at night he curls up for a nap.
When winter comes he buries himself
in the mud and waits for warmer
weather.
