STATE GIVES AID TO
MANYCOUNTY FAIRS
OVER $4,000 WILL BE PAID OUT
DURING THE SEASON
OF 1916.
MONEY is FOR PREMIUMS
spelia! Features and Racing Must Be
Paid Out of Gate Receipts.
Much Interesting Data
Is Gathered.

Madison According to reports of
secretaries of Wisconsin county, dis
trict and state fairs held during 1915,
on file in the office of the secretary of
state, Wisconsin will pay out to
eighty-one fairs in 1916, $169, 454.17,
all of which is applied to premiums
paid by the fairs. All of it goes to the
breeder, agriculturist, horticulturist,
dairyman, poultryman, floriculturist
and for women's work.
None of this money is applied to
special attractions, music, racing or
other special features. The state
even does not pay anything toward
premiums for pet stock.
The eighty-one Wisconsin fairs pay
out a total of s228,380.37 for premi-
ums. Deducting state aid, they pay
$58,926.20.
1t is interesting to note that seventy
fairs, eleven not providing racing pro-
grams, pay out 1921, 522.S3 for racing,
and receive no state aid for this fea-
ture.
The total receipts of the eighty-one
fairs in 1915 were 1891, 29116, and the
total disbursements 1903, SO. The
total receipts include in several in
stances money borrowed by fairs to
meet deficits owing to bad weather
and other misfortunes.
Receipts of fairs come from gate
receipts, entry fees, subscriptions, con
cessions, pay attractions and member
ships. The total gate and grandstand
receipts amounted to 1885, 643.36.

ELEVATORS NEARLY FILL
Superior Warehouses Now Have But
10000 Bushels Space Left.
Steamship Rates High.

Superior-Only 10000 bushels of
room remain in Duluth-Superior grain
elevators, and daily arrivals soon will
fill them to the top. Only grain for
export, the already. sold article, now
is accepted. Even this in large part is
accepted with the understanding that
it will come into the elevators for i'm
mediate shipment all rail to the east
The opening of navigation is awaited
with apprehension.
Five and one-half cents bushel is
offered for steamships to carry out the
first cargoes of export grain. Holders
of the elevators of grain for domestic
use will not pay 51a cents, expecting
a decided decrease in rates after the
export grain has had its round.
A lively scramble between grain and
ore shippers for vessel space is ex-
Dected to ensue with the breakup of
the ice, the pressure from each being
the same.

Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. l determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me, so without saying
anything to them about it, made a
big pot Of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee I used. l didn't answer her
question Just then, for heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast told her that the
coffee she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

SNoS~0 W 4AsS0SG VA eMS AAA&ASyS
The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
It is good insurance against such
q risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from hackache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired. WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
