STATE LOSES FOOD CASE
Federal Court Holds Benzoate of Soda
Products Can Be Sold Despite
Wisconsin Law.

Madison = Judge A. L. Sanborn In
federal court has enjoined the state OF
Wisconsin and the food commissioner
from enforcing the statute prohibiting
the sale of food with benZoate of soda
as a preservative, if the food product
is brought from another state.
The action was brought by Curtice
Bros. Co, Syracuse, N. Y, and refers
particularly to catsup. The state will
appeal at once to the supreme court.
The ruling in effect is that when the
United States food laws make provi-
sions regarding food in interstate COM
merce, the state laws in conflict with
it do not apply.
1t was decided some years ago that
benzoate of soda can be used as a pre-
sentative legally under the federal law.
Under the decision the products in
question can be sold by wholesale or
retail in the state if shipped in. The
question of misbranded food products
was similarly decided against the state
in the corn products case.

MODERN HOME PARALYZED
Green Bay Prelate Declares Problem
of Youth Is Reconstruction
of Dwelling.

Green Bay-That the solution of the
problem of the adolescent youth lies
in the home was the statement made
10y Bishop Paul p Rhode of the Green
Bay diocese in addressing members of
the Catholic Women's club here.
Said the bishop: Unfortunately
too many dwelling places do not at
tract or hold the interests of the son
or daughter. The modern home is
paralyzed. 1t is not the home given US
by our forefathers, not the home
which has developed for the nation
great characters, for the church great
saints. That home is a blessed mem
DRY, a thing of the past.
I'VE have the problem of the adol-
escent youth today because we have
the problem of the home. The home
is the true workshop of the soul, and
there is nothing, neither church nor
school, which can take its place"
The bishop deplored the low moral
tone of most of the moving pictures
of modern literature and urged that
children be given better books and pic
lures wtth which to amuse themselves.

BENTON VILLAGE
SETS TAX RECORD
TOWN OF 652 POPULATION PAYS
$6s,S5s UNDER THE INCOME
SYSTEM.
AVERAGE S1O4.85 A PERSON
Activity in Mining Industry.
Town Gets 20 Per Cent of
Money Collected.

Monroe-War time prosperity has
come to the little village of Benton, in
Lafayette county probably as to no
other section of Wisconsin, with the
result that village of $50 population
will pay an average income tax for the
year of S104.S5 for each man, woman
and child. The total tax for the year
is S6S,35S.02, according to the an
nouncement of l. NJ Stauffacher, in
come assessor for the Fifth district
of Wisconsin, embracing Green and
Lafayette counties.
The immense income tax which will
be paid by this village is result of
general activity in the mining indus
try and the high prices for lead and
zinc resulting from the European war.
New Diggings and White Oak Springs
are other mining sections in Lafayette
county in which large income taxes
will be paid, the former paying total
of $7,S15.20, and the latter $21, 654.05
All three of the above sections are
but half townships.
Under the income tax law 20
per cent of the tax collected reverts to
the town, 20 per cent to the county
and the remaining 10 per cent to the
state. so that in the case of Benton
the town will receive more than suffi-
cient taxes, it is estimated to meet the
needs of the town for three years, and
it will be possible to avoid assessing
other taxes. The total income tax i'll
Lafayette county is $105,972.0S, &C
cording to the report of Income AS
SCISSOR Stauffacher, as compared with
$26,500.2S for Greer county, consid-
cred the richest agricultural section
