Pleased With Army Bill.

Milwaukee - The senate bill, if it
becomes law, means much to Wiscop
sin, much to the national guard and a
great deal to 5000 men who may
choose to volunteer in new military
companies and regiments. The bill
solves the national guard problem in
the manner suggested by various Wis
consin National guard officers. The
suggestion was that all national
guardsmen, in addition to swearing in
to the state service, also take the
United States oath, which would en-
able the general government to order
the guard to service outside the
United States. The senate's plan fed
eralizes the national guard and that
seems to be what is wanted by large
majority of the state troops. The bill
makes provision for adding to the ma
tional guard $4,000 men, more than
doubling the present force. That would
mean for Wisconsin the addition of
about 1000, to be divided UP into in
fantry, cavalry and artillery.

known after the publication of his
book, .Pecks Bay Boy" and for years
had an army of attentive readers of
his Peck's Sun, published in Milwau-

To Fight Pine Blister.

j. G. Sanders, entomologist of the
and other entomologists of western
states, are taking precautions to head
off an invasion of the white-pine bis
ter rust, which has appeared IN New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York and Pennsyl-
vania. This disease infests white
pine forests and currant and goose
berry bushes.
The disease came to America from
German nursery. 80 per cent of the
infections in America being traced to
this source.
The United States department of ag
riculture has issued notice OF pro-
posed quarantine, but action in this di-
rectioD has not been taken by the fed
erai authorities The western entomol-
ogists are seriously considering estab-
fishing a quarantine against shipments
likely to be infested with this dis
ease. If a quarantine is established,
it would prohibit the entry of five
leaved pine nursery stock and of nur-
sery stock of currants and goOseber
ries from Canada, Europe and Asia
and the states named above
The Importance of protecting the
white-pine forests from the blister rust
will be readily appreciated when it is
known that there is $96.000,000 worth
of mature white pine in the lake
states and $9,O00.000 worth of western
white pine, all of which would be at
tackled by the blister rust, if the dis.
ease gets by the authorities.

MI.sI.sIpuI claims Two More.


Bluff Siding-Two sisters, Josephine
and Theodosia Wiczorek, Il and lS
years old, respectively. were drowned
in the high water of the mississippi
river within short distance OF the
place where the P. B. Crogan family
of four met a similar death a week
ago. The younger girl drove from her
home in this village to Winona, Mimi,
directly opposite, across the river. to
meet her sister. When the girls, re-
turning home, reached the turnpike
leading from the high wagon bridge
across the river, short distance from
the Wisconsin shore, the horse be-
came frightened and plunged off the
bridge, throwing the girls into the wa
ter. Including the Crogan family,
whose home was near Galesville, six
persons have lost their lives by drown
ing in the flood waters alongside this
road within a week.

Fight on Flies Urged.

Put in screen doors and windows
now, is the advice of the state board
of health against the coming of warm
weather and flies. The bulletin from
the department says:
Warm weather is about here, and
according to the nature OF warm
weather and flies, flies will be here by
the hundredfold in about a week or
ten days, and whoever would be pre-
pared against their arrival would have
their doors and windows well screened.
Doors that remained in place all win
ter are likely to be found sagging or
with holes punched in them. or per-
haps this was the condition in which
they were put away last fall. Any
way, it is time that old screens are re-
paired and put in place, and that or
ders are given for new ones wherever
they are needed
The bulletin says that since the win
found feeding and perhaps breeding
places about the premises, the best
thing to do since they are here, is to
screen them out. 1t is suggested that
extension screens are not the most de-
sirable kind Screens that are made
to fit doors and windows tightly are
much more efficient and in the long
run are cheaper If these cannot be
afforded now, mosquito netting can
we'll be used for another season. This.
if well put up, tackled close and made
firm will, it is believed, prove better
than extension Or ill-ftting screens
and will last a season.
II here really is no reason con
cludes the board why anyone should
tolerate flies, except from his own
choice"

TWO questions, evidently intended to

factories. One of these is, What was

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. What's an inside bath?"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which, if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisCas and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone a real
crank on the subject of internal sani-
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, SO limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast
ly more important to battle on the in
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absors impurities in
to the blood, while the bowel pores do.

To Preserve Papers.

U y TTCSCTvc FdpGFS.
There are not fifty persons in the
United States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing of old man
uscripts. One of them may be found
consin Historical library building at
Madison, one of the six or seven in
stitutions in the country that carry on
such work scientifically
The first thing done in the process
OF preserving the letters is to place
them between wet newspapers under
weight and leave them for five or
or six hours. This removes the creases
and the dirt. Then they are put be-
tween wood-pulp boards and left "a
hours, and then between blotters to
complete the drying process.
The next step is to repair the paper.
The paper of some of these letters was
so old when received that it would
fall to pieces if struck. This is
strengthened by layer of crepoline.
a transparent cloth, on both sides Of
the piece of paper.
Other letters needed mending along
the edges with parchment paper. To
cover holes a piece of paper is glued
over the edges and is left larger than
the hole until dry. 1t is then cut
down to the proper size and the edges
sand-papered until smooth. After all
such repairs areemade the letters are
mounted on large white sheets and
prepared for binding

the record comes dangerously near to

1853 cases were recorded with the
state bureau of vital statistics.
The high morbidity of the first quar-
