Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Brink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest wen, work
we'll, sleep well, look well. What
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject OF IN.

COLLEGE STUDENTS
ATE HEAVY EATERS
Vast Quantity of Supplies Bought
by University.
245 LOAVES OF BREAD A DAY
Two Dormitories and Cafeteria Are
Used-One Thousand Eat Daily at
School Tables-38o Quarts of
Milk Required.

Madison.-How much food 1000 col
Iege students eat in the course OF
year is roughly indicated by figures
from the University of Wisconsin
kitchen which supplies the dining
rooms at Barnard and Chadbourne
halls and student cafeteria. 1t feeds
in all 1000 people every DAY. Cream
pie is the most popular dessert, cream
of pea soup the fav0rite soup, ana
corn the chosen vegetable.
Eighty-fve loaves of white bread
and thirty loaves of graham bread are
baked every day. Besides these, 15o
Ioaves of a special kind are bought 10
use in making toast, 1t takes fifteen
bushels of spinach to feed the l,OOO
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 punches 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 or 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.
Cream of tomato soup comes first in
favor at the tables in the halls though
pea is a greater favorite in the cafe
terra = study is made of the favorite
dishes and the public taste is thus ca
tered to.

season are said to be exceedingly du-
bious. Sheboygan was ready to enter
the league had the other cities come

enter this year and it is probable the
matter will be dropped until fall, when

Insect Pests.

Several insect pests injurious to
various fabrics IN the household and
in storage, particularly to woolens,
furs and feathers, are very destructive
if allowed to continue their work I'M
interrupted by treatment Three OF
these are commonly found in Wiscon-
sin and are briefly discussed in a cir
lar issued by ]. G. Sanders, entomolo-
gist of the Wisconsin department of
agriculture
The buffalo MOTH" dark brown,
bristly or hairy larva which is often
found infesting carpets and rugs
along the cracks and floors or near
baseboards, in spite of its common
name, is in no way related to the
moths but is really a larval stage OF
a tiny, black and red checkered
beetle which must not be confused
with the larger spotted, beneficial
'1adybird beetle Two species are
common-the true buffalo carpet
beetle" and the "black carpet beetle"
til larva of which can be distin-
guished from the former by the long
er brown bristles at the posterior end
of the body. The, destructive habits
of both are similar and the control
measures are identical. The presence
of these pests need cause no great
alarm, but constant vigilance is neces-
sary to hold them in check.
Apply a half and half mixture of
kerosene and gasoline with small
spring bottom oil can to the cracks
and crevices of the floor and around
baseboards and shelving in closets.
Fumigation methods discussed later
are effective controls

SPEAKS Up FOR CANADA
And No Wonder Ills
Land He Made $3.50
Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let a
false statement go unchaIlenged. A
case in point arises out OF statement
supposed to be made by a resident OF
Alberta, and published recently IN the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in
which the condition of settlers in this
country was painted in very bad
way indeed. The writer OF this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. S. L.
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman Re-
view of February IL, 1916.-
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
I'm Sundays Spokesman-Review was
a letter from man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a man to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. ] know Of
the government helping people to pro
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the
nearest town and 6 per cent. What
more could man ask?
l lived five years in Southern Sas-
katchewan and earned a patent to 320
acres of as good land as ever saw.
I have raised over so bushels of oats
on sod, 40 bushels Of wheat, and 20
of flax to the acre. Until / lost my
health l never was better satisfied any
where. had my land rented this last
year for one-third. 1t brought me al
most $3.50 per acre, or s1,143.91 for
1876 acres.
This man says he loves the land his
fathers died for. So do /, and love
the land that gave me my home.

ALWAYS A STAPLE PUDDING
Good Reasons Why Rice Cooked with
Milk Has Remained a Favorire
So Many Years.

There is perhaps no other pudding
of equally great food value which is
SO inexpensive and palatable as the
eggless rice pudding, or creamy rice
pudding, as it is often called. 1t IS
but one of the several excellent ways
of cooking rice with milk, but it does
lend itself better to changes OF flavor
than any of the other ways, so may
be used frequently without monotony.
Baked in individual dishes with rath-
err gentle heat, and for at least an
hour and half, with several STRINGS
in of the crust which forms on the top,
creamy rice pudding is an attractive
dessert, made more SO by baking it in
glass and finally adding merlngue.
It is about equally good whether hot
or cold. More than this, a consider
BILE number of variations can be made
without once adding an acid fruit
which makes it less digestible. The
long baking makes it both more di-
gestible and palatable, and it is dainty
Of flavor if just the stirred-in top is
all to give this.
The Recipe.-To each cupful of milk
allow one tablespoonful of rice and one
of sugar, or more If to taste, and one
piece Of candied ginger about an inch
and a half long. Butter pudding dish,
put into it the well-washed rice and
milk, with sugar and the ginger cut
in bits, bake in moderate oven for one
hour and half, stirring in the top at
least three times.

Normal Schools Gain $1,000, 900.


The closing chapter in Wisconsin,
famous forestry case was written
when the supreme court confirmed the
findings OF the land commissioners and
Judge L. D. Hastings, special referee,
of Green Bay. The court made but
slight modification of the judges find
ings, none that affected any material
point. AS a result of this final action
the title to some 100000 acres of land
reverts to the normal school fund to-
gether with upward Of 100000
The report finds that the general
fund is indebted to the normal school
fund in the sum of $1,517, 514.23. OF
this amount it has never been disputed
that S515,700 belonged to the normal
school fund. This leaves net gain to
the fund, however, of approximately
81, 000,000
The state is indebted to the normal
school fund for $515,700 borrowed dur.
ing the Civil war and which is still a
liability against the state in the form
of certificates of Indebtedness. To Sc
cure this amount the normal school
fund has lien on 157,091.44 acres Of
land acquired by the state under the
forestry law.
The findings of the land commission
ers and the special referee further
show that the general fund is indebted
to the university fund for $111,000
taken from the principal of this fund
for general state purposes. The gen.
eral fund is indebted to the Agricul.
tural college fund for $4,000 taken and
used for general state purposes.
