If you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work, or
how far you can walk without becOm-

times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again

any benefit. But don't take the old
forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or
tincture Of iron simply to save few
cents. You must take iron in form
that can be easily absorbed and as
simulated like nuxated iron if you want
it to do you any good, otherwise it
may prove worse than useless.

Plan State Cleanup.


To forewarn Wisconsin citizens OF
the danger of a serious epidemic of
infantile paralysis next year, the
state board of health has addressed
a communication to every health Of
ficer in the state asking that pub
lie action be instituted at once to
restrict the possibility of a general out
break. Health officers are asked to
take up with mayors, councils or
boards of health the betterment of san
itary conditions.
Every city and village in the state
is petitioned to enact ordinances COW
ering garbage, alleys, manure piles,
cesspools, dust, debris of any type, low
places where water accumulates, and
rubbish of all kinds. 1t is advised that
homes be screened against flies in the
spring, and a general cleanup of the
interior of the homes insisted upon,
and that if the results sought are not
obtained, some method of enforcing
cleanliness be adopted.

be taken with little expense" says the

so not only will the possibility of an
epidemic be lessened, but the protec-

Governor Names E. T. FairChild
to Succeed Justice
ESchWeiIer.
PLACE CLAIMED BY ANOTHER
John c. KIeist, Socialist, Asserts He
Is Entitled to the Vacant Place
on the Milwaukee
Bench.

MadisOn.-State Senator Edward L.
Fairchild has been appointed judge OF
the Milwaukee circuit court, branch
No. by Gov. E. l.. Philip. He will
succeed Justice Franz G. EschWeiler,
and will serve until a successor is
elected in the judicial election in April,
1917.
He has resigned as senator from the
Fifth Milwaukee district. Under the
law, the governor will call special
election to fill that vacancy at the
polls on November and there will be
primary election for the nomination
10 days prior to that date.
Mr.. Fairchild will serve until next
spring, when he will have to seek cleo
ton to fill out the unexpired term.
Judge ESchweiler's term was short
ened from six years to five by the last
legislature, this action being taken at
the request of the judge, who other
wise would have had to seek re-elec-
ton at municipal election, when the
multiplicity of candidates for various
offices makes it more probable that
the candidates for judicial offices will
be neglected.
John G. Kleist, Socialist, who has
been a candidate for circuit judge
many times. claims that he is entitled
to succeed Judge Eschweiler. He con-
tends that the law shortening the term
is illegal, and at an election since the
measure was passed his friends wrote
in his name as a candidate for the
office.

morning, was due to bullet wound in
flicted by his hand, was the finding
of the coroner's jury after an inquest
conducted by Coroner r. c. ]. Meyer

Since that time, the son testified, he
had visited his parent on number of
occasions. The letter introduced at
the inquest was written about Thanks
giving time.
Boles was not in want of either food
or fuel when he drew the curtain on
his own life This was shown in
trip to the place, made by the coroner
and party, between adjournment of
