Chores and School Credits.

Schoolmen everywhere are coming
30 realize that their duty to their pu'
pills does not begin with tho school day
nor end with the school yard. They
have learned that the quality OF a
child's school work and school deport-
Enent depends, in a large measure, up
on the nature of his home environ
ment; they believe that the child
ought not to be handicapped in his de-
velopment and education by the mis-
fortunes or shortcomings of his pa
rents; and they know that, If the
school is to accomplish it's object, it
must, in many instances, supply the
deficiencies and counteract the i'm
proper tendencies of home training. A
very interesting instance Of the tend
ency to extend the influence Of the
public school is the policy, now in
force In the schools of Los Angeles, OF
granting school credit for home chores
done under the supervision of teachers
and parents.-Thomas J. Davis, In
Countryside Magazine.

farm lands between Trempeleau and
East Winona, Wis, flooded as result
of the break in the Burlington right of
way, two trunk line railroads were
blocked by washouts, twenty farmers
driven from their homes and 300 head

known in that section in thirty years.
Thirty houses in North La Crosse are

Dignities of Office.

This story-which is perhaps true
and perhaps nOt-is being told in many
italian messrooms. On one of his royal
tours, King Victor Emmanuel spent
the night in a small country town,
where the people showed themselves
unusually eager in caring for his com
fort. So when he had gone to bed, he
was surprised to be wakened by q
servant who wanted to put clean
sheets on his bed. However, he wait.
ed good-naturedly while it was done,
and wished the servant good night. He
had dozed off to sleep, when he was
roused for the second time by rap on
the door; and the servant reappeared,
asking to change the sheets again. Nat
's1rally, the king asked why the change
was made 30 often. The servant an.
.swered reverently, For oneself, one
changes the sheets every week, for an
lhorored friend every day, but for a
king every our."-Youth's Compan.

MIX Production In United States.

The production OF milk in the Uni
led States In 1915 is estimated at about
IL ,590.000,000 gallons; this figure is
obtained by applying an estimated
yield per cow of 537 gallons, as 1ndt-
Gated by estimates made by crop cor
respondents of the bureau Of crop esti-
mates, to the mean of the number OF
COWS at the beginning and at the
close OF the year. This production is
equivalent to about 115 gallons per
capita population of the United States.
In the North Atlantic states the per.
capita production is estimated to be
about II gallons; in the South Allan
tic states 66 gallons; in the South
Central states So gallons, and in the
4ar Western states 131 gallons.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; If your
head is dull or aching; IL what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin drinking phosphateG
hot water. Drink before breakfast, q
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, Sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous days poison
Gus waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as
sured they will become real cranks ON
the subject shortly.-Adv.

FAST CYCLE SQUAD
AFTER GAME HOGS
Wardens on Machine Menace
Those Who Violate Law.
WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Larger Percentage of Saving VIII Be
Shown-Campaign Of Education
in Preserving Game to Be
New Phase of Work.

Madison.-The question Of trans
portation, one of the greatest prob
lens the commission which is consery-
ing game in Wisconsin has to deal
with, has been solved by the purchase
of twenty-five motorcycles.
The flying squadron Of wardens who
use these machine have begun their
work and the result will be not only
greater efficiency but greater reduc-
ton in expense.
The new conservation commission
has made an enviable record in the
statement given out by Secretary r.
S. Scheibel on April 20 shows a saw
ing of $37,395.58 for the period be-
tween July 1, 1915, and March 81, 1916.
The service in the meantime has been
even better than it was before the va
riOus departments devoted to the con-
serVation and propagation Of game
were correlated under the new law.
With the advent of the motorcycle
squad, the efficiency of the depart
ment will be increased still more and
a larger percentage Of saving will be
shown when the annual report is is
sued.
'The motorcycles will make ma
terial reduction in the transportation
expenses of the department, said
Commissioner w. E. Barber. 1T has
been the custom for the wardens to
travel by railroad, which took them
only to railroad towns and there, in
most cases, they were obliged to hire
livery to go to the rural districts. The
reduction of this expense, however,
was not the whole object which in
spired the introduction of the motor
cycle. The department realized that
for warden to obtain the best re-
suits, he must become acquainted
with the people he is serving. He
must come in contact with them at
their homes and in their places of
business. He must interest them in
the work he is doing to conserve those
features that add SO much to our
lives.

ticipates that with instructions, which
the wardens will receive, they will

operation in the work Of the commits
sion.
THE standing of the old game war
den department was lowered because
of it's connection with politics. This
was situation which was met by the
present commission and it's efforts
have been to remove the statewide
mental attitude toward the depart
ment.

of the ideas which we are putting in
force and we anticipate great results

Students Heavy Eaters.

How much food 1000 college stu

roughly indicated by figures from the
University of Wisconsin kitchen which
supplies the dining rooms at Barnard
and Chadbourne halls and a student
cafeteria. 1t feeds in all 1000 people
every day. Cream pie is the most pop
favorite soup, and corn the chosen
vegetable.
Eighty-five 1oaves of white bread
and thirty loaves of graham bread are
baked every day. Besides these, 100
loaves of special kind are bought to
use in making toast. 1t takes fifteen
bushels of spinach to feed the 1000
whenever that green is served. Eight
bushels of potatoes are used each day
or two carloads year.
The milk, OF which $50 quarts are
used daily, is obtained from an out
lying farm which is scientifically man.
aged and keeps only registered Guern-
sey cattle. The latest test for bac-
terra in the milk showed the count
to be very low. Fifteen gallons of
cream are purchased daily from To-
cal dairy.
Whenever bananas are served, four
full lunches are needed. This in
cludes those which go into banana
cream pie and the banana salad. Six
dozen heads of lettuce go In the salad
for one meal. Three cases of or
anges are used every time oranges are
served. One hundred pounds of but
ter is sufficient to feed the large and
hungry family each day.
Two carloads of -four is used for
baking purposes, and other perishable
goods are bought in small quantities
from local dealers.
