TIE Cost is Great

The tragedy at Devils lake on Sun
dav cost the lives of two young
women, the result OF walk
ing on railroad tracks. Do you realize
that nearly as many people as reside in
Baraboo are killed every year as the
result of tresspassing On railroad prop
erty? Such is the case. According to
statistics 5,471 persons were killed as
the penalty of tresspassing on tracks
in the United States last year. Fifteen
are killed every day. Think of the loss
of life! The toll is too great. There
is a law in this state against venturing
on tracks and it is to be regretted that
sentiment ia somewhat opposed to en-
forcing it. At the lake where the acct
dent occurred there would be difficulty
in getting from the north shore to the
station except by boat, yet 1t were
better not to take the chances. There
are many sorrowing relatives and
friends as result Of the tragedy and
the loss of these two lives should spell
caution to all who venture to walk upon
railroad property. Engineers are
powerless to prevent train weighing
many tons from crowding ahead unless
there is ample time. Often trespassers
stay upon the track until the engine is
at their very heels. dangerous thing
do. If the engineer stop. the reck-
less laugh. More than one indigcreet
individual has lost his life by venturing
too far. Do not do it. 1t may prove
fatal.

IF the World we live in is unsatis

God that it should be so; that gets yoy
nowhere. You may say it is the law of
nature it should be so; that gets you
nowhere, either. But when by accur-
ate measurement of lengths and weights
and temperatures ard modes of motion
on understand that everything isWhat
1t is because of process. then it com es
to you that what process has made
process can make over. Then if you
like not the fashion of this world, you
can alter it. 1t may we'll be that the
possession of a small round grain of
faith enables one to say unto this noun
tain, BE thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea-, but if you want it
done. you lay down tracks, put locomo-
tives and gondola cars on them, install
st eam-diggers at one end and barges
at the other, and make Goethals super

The Blood is the Life

The blood is the life because it is nu-
trutive fluid. If the blood becomes
very impure. the bones, the muscles
and other parts of the body are impaired
and finally become diseased. Slighter
variations in the quality of the blood,
such as we are often brought about by
breathing the bad air of unventilated
rooms, have equally sure though less
plain i'll effects on the nervous system.
Persons that have any reason to be-
lieve that their blood is not puse should
begin to take Hoods Sarsaparilla at
once. This medicine has done more
than any other in cleansing, enriching
and revitalizing the blood and giving
strength en- tone to all the organs and
functions.
If you want to be entirely satisfied,
insist on having Hoods. Accept no
substitute. ADV.

The spring skirts are two inches

change. The fall skirts we're shorter
than last springs skirts, which would
seem to indicate that about the fall of
1920, the skirt will be worn over the
head, like an umbrella. But they will
not. Three seasons of fashions trend
ing in the same direction is too much
for woman. Long before 1920, skirts
will be long, skinny, starchy and short
again, and a lot Of weak-eyed man
creatures will be spared their sight for
the more prosaic purposes of making a

TIE Treating .HbuSe

Residents of Sacramento, California,
wideawake capital, have started an
anti treating campaign under the name
of ''No, thank you" movement. The
campain is said to have attained de-
gree of success that is unusual for
efforts of this nature.
Each adherent of the movement
wears a button bearing the words,
No, thank YOU" The aim is to make
it bad form for one man to offer to
treat another to drinks The argument
is advanced that man who never
drinks at another's expenses will sci
dom drink to excess.
The treating custom, which is
peculiarly American and which foreign
ers condemn as no less ridiculous than
pernicious, is unquestionably RESPONSE

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

to sufficiently nourish both body and

natures demands are greater than in

pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,

unrnistakable earnestness: They need

Interesting Letter
Comes From Washington
By Edward l.. Luckow, Formerly OF Baraboo And
Now Auditor OF The Navy Department.

The Community Forum plan which is
growing more popular in many local..
ties, especially in the smaller centers o.
population, is having some hard sleddin
here That ls rather to be expected in
Washington, for practically all public
questions are treated in that manner at
this great public center.
The Board of Education declined to al
low the use of public schools for COM
munity gatherings, and bill introduced
in the house by Representative Johnson
of Kentucky, directs that ten of these
buildings in the district may be used for
public forum meetings. In a word one
OF the best arguments in favor, of the
plan was made by Miss Margaret Will
son, daughter of the President, when
she put this query: Who is boss the
the people or their epresentatives?The
contention over the use of school build
ings for gatherings is between the
Board of Education and the people of
the district rather than between the
Board of Education and District Com
missioners, is the claim of Miss Wilson,
who maintains that the people should
meet in schools when they wish; that
they are bosses of their public actions
and not the school board.

Wiz France Got Out o.
Mexico

An editorial Tin the April Woman's.
Home Companion reminds US of the
real reason why France got out of
Mexico after the Civil War reason
that has considerable significance to-
day:
when the Civil War was over we
found France in possession of Mexico, "
we read ''Our Government intimated
to the French Government that it's
presence there was undesirable, and the
French withdrew Why? Because the
righteousness of our protest made Ma
poleon ashamed of himself? Not at ALL
It was because at that moment we had
q million trained men under arms. And
having the million men ready to fight,
we did not have to fight. That victory
was won without the firing of single
gun or the loss of single drop of
blood because we were prepared for
victory"

The old, old questions of conserva
ton, water powers, public buildings,
rivers, and. harbor improvements, and
the like are in the foreground on Cap
itol Hill. Secretary Lane racently is-
sued a statement to the effect that a
substitute had been found for potash.
One of the big questions given particu
lar attention since the beginning of the
war concerns the production of Amer :
lean fertilizers. European farmers have
been producing on the average Of
about twice as much on every acre OF
land as is being done in the United
States and many of our lawmakers have
decided the fertilizer problem is respon-
sible for the great disparity.

Secretary of War Baker has reap
pointed Lieutenant General S. B. M

The office room of senator is apt to
be a busy place, especially if the in
cumbent is inclined to be prompt in
the matter of correspon-
dence and keep in touch with
constituents. Persons not familiar with
the conditions and the life here are not
apt to realize the Iextent to which the
time of senator and his force is taken
up in looking after office details and
the entertainment of visitors. Although
he has been here only comparatively
short time, Senator Paul 0. Husting
is kept just as busy as any of the pub
lie servants, but the junior senator
from Wisconsin thrives under pressure
incident to public life. Fortunately he is
surrounded by an efficient office force,
with capacity for work, composed of
Mr.. Otto Husting, brother of the SEN
ator, Miss Martha L. Winkel, formerly
of Appleton and M2yvile, and Henry
R. Murphy, who halls from Beaver
Dam. Senator Husting and his brother,
Otto, and wife occupy a comfortably
furnished house in the desirable Mount
Pleasant portion of the city's residen-
tial section.
