cutta, but the medicinal properties OF
cinchona bark had long been known.
They We're discovered by the Jesuits,
after whom it was called Jesuits' bark.
Concerning that, Sir Clements used to
relate an odd coincidence. Oliver
Cromwell died of tertian ague. AMI
quinine might have saved him. In the
very newspaper in which his death Was
announced, the Mercurius Politicus
there was an advertisement of :Jesuits'
bark for sale. But the name of Jesuit
was abhorrent to the Puritaps. and
hence Cromwell's medical advisers
would have nothing to do with it.

Frozen Food In Siberia.

The markets of Irkutsk, in Siberia,
are an interesting sight, for the prod
ucts offered for sale are in most cases
frozen solid. Fish are piled up in
stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds Of fowl are
similarly frozen and piled up. Some
animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their legs
and have the appearance Of being
actually alive, and as one goes through
the markets one seems to be surround
ed by living pigs, sheep, oxen and
fowls standing up. But, stranger yet,
even the liquids are frozen solid and
sold in blocks. Milk is frozen into a
block in this way and with string
Or a stick frozen into and projecting
from it. This, it is said, is for the
convenience of the purchaser, who is
thus enabled to carry his milk by the
string or stick handle.

INCREASED STATE sCHooLF AID.
Brown County Schools Receive Lar

49,. Greater Attendance.

-. ' -.
Because 1O1 more scholars attended
the schools of the county the required
number of days, 40 in the year, Brown
County schools will receive $242. 10 more
as their share of state aid than year
ago. County Auditor Vogel has sent
warrants to the "a districts of the county
totaling $7,952.70, which amount is
divided pro rata among the districts at
$2.10 per pupil.
This apportionment is not tax
settlement, but an apportionment made
by the state serni-annually in March and
October out of moneys derived from the
interest received by the state from the
school land fund. According to the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Brown county has 3,787 pupils
entitled to state aid under this ap-
portionment, an increase of 101 over
the attendance of year ago.
The amounts apportioned among the

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. Just few applica-
tions will prove a revelation if your hair
is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire:to retain our youth
tul appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Athistio Mosquitoes,

Singapore Is on the Malay peninsula,
that shoe tongue that hangs down
from the southeast corner Of India. "a
Singapore mosquito will lie slothfully
around all day. not turning a hand,
but the moment it sees you retire for
the night and pull down the bed net
ting it leaps to its feet, trembling with
eagerness. They will pass up thou
sands Of Chinese and Malays few
blocks away, sleeping without cover
of any kind, to come and work and
plan the whole night through to get
just one taste of white meat. y Their
persistence is wonderful. An ant in
comparison to Singapore mosquito is
a happy-go-lucky creature, with no
thought Of the morrow. Here in the
luxurious tropics mosquitoes grow to
splendid proportions, perfectly formed
and splendidly muscled, and in any
catch-as-catch-can conflict can defend
themselves against all corners, ire
spective Of nationality. In 4 clinch
they have way of balancing on their
tails and leaping on to their opponent
and tearing him with their hind feet,
after the manner of the cornered Aus
tralian kangaroo. - Homer Croy in

HOME LEAGUE. BOWLING.

The. end of the weeks bowling leaves
the Colts in first place with two games in
the lead. The Hackbarths, Busters and
Beck's Specials are tied for second place.
With but six more games to be played
in order to finish the schedule the fight
for the gold medals can go to any one OF
these four teams although the Colts have
a slight advantage. Second place will
undoubtedly be a tie and in that case
will be played off.
The Turner'S and the Eagles were the
first to meet in the weeks bowling and
after losing the first game by eleven pins
they took both the others. The second
game was taken by almost one hundred
pins and the last by nearly fifty. Larson,
the Turner's new man, was high man for
the evening, making both the highest
single score and the highest total. He
had a total of $50 and single game Of
246. The scores:

The Baryphone is new invention
which is in fair way Of revolutionizing
the telephone system. AS is we'll known.
the American telephone is often very I'M
satisfactory, but the drawbacks are
wholly eliminated by the Baryphone.
which. makes conversations on the
longest distances just as clear as on short
circuits, as the sound is carried to both
ears and all noise excluded. Persons
hard OF hearing, who hitherto have been
prohibited from using the telephone, can
row use it with the aid of the Barvphone.
which also will permit two persons to
hear the message without the use of
double telephone. The -Baryphone is
the only simple, practical and effective
sound intensifier in existence and is in
comparably superior to all others es-
pecially as it leaves the hand free for
annotations during the con7 er ;ation.

LOCAL NOTES

Henry Schwartz was business visitor
in Springfield Saturday Of last week.
Ed. Wagner spent several days of the
past week visiting friends in and near
Essig.
DIR. Hammermeister was called to
Morgan last Saturday afternoon on pro-
fessional business.
Springfield will have it's annual Chau-
tauqua this year in the week beginning
June %.
William Huevelmann was a business
visitor to the Twin Cities last Friday.
He returned the following day.
William Langhoff of Springfield was in
the city several days of last week, visiting
his brother, who has not been we'll for
some time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Engel are expect
ing visit from their daughter and SON.
ln-law, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. S. Anding of
Wlnona next Saturday.
Gust. Ruckardt has taken a position
at the Mueller & Aab garage. Mr..
Ruckardt only recently arrived from
New York City where lie had held
positions as machinist and chauffeur.
Editor Essler of the St. Peter Herald
has landed the postmastership of his
home town. His name was sent to the
U. S. senate for confirmation last week
and no opposition is expected to develop
within that body.
Citizens of Springfield are rejoicing
over the promise of the Northwestern
railway to build a new depot at that
point. The old structure is not only
inadequate to handle the business of the
enterprising village in the west end Of
the county, but is an eyesore as we'll.
Henry Sinkel, who has been conducting
a photograph gallery in the ANIME build
ing on the corner of Third North and
Minnesota streets, has disposed of his
studio and business good will to the other
three photographers of the city, Henry
Goede, A. J. Meyer and George CASTER.
The studio probably will be closed up for
the present.
There has been considerable discussion
as to whether the city council would
attempt to increase the liquor license in
New Ulm this year, but inquiry among
tie several councilmen and those elected
yesterday does not seem to warrant even
the suggestion. A majority of the mem
bers seem to be opposed to a raise and it
is not expected that the matter will be
brought Up ct any of the meetings of tie
new council.
Springfield will receive $1,000 from
each enc Of its seven saloons during the
ming year, tie city counci! having de-
ciced at recent meeting to boost the
license fee to that figure. The liquor
dealers OF that town have been payi e
$3.50 for the past two years and it wss
thought that the license would remain
at that fgl for the present. The d.y
