MRS. MUss0 is PARD0NED
Woman Serving Life Term for Killing
Husband Released by Phillip as
Death Draws Near.

Milwaukee-Mrs. Carmello MuSso,
serving life sentence in Waupun fol-
lowing her conviction for the murder
of her husband Joseph, has been par
doned by Gov. Philip because she is
dying of tuberculosis. She was
brought to Milwaukee and will be
cared for by relatives.
Mrs. Musso was convicted Of muir
der in the first degree largely on the
testimony of Rosa Degratione, a
niece, who swore that Mrs. Musso
strangled her husband to death. The
case was unusual because of the rarity
with which convictions are secured In
the cases of crime in the Italian colony
of the lower Third ward.
Susie Wodjak, another woman com
mitted to Waupun for life on convlc-
ton of having murdered her husband,
was ordered transferred to some sana-
torium by the governor. She, too, is
suffering from the white plague. she
will probably be taken to Wales.

BARLEY MENACE APPEARS
Dean Russell Of College of Agriculture
Sounds Warning TO Farmers to
Save Crop Of Next Year.

Madison-Dean H. L. Russell Of the
college of agriculture sounded a
warning to the farmers of Wisconsin
which must be needed If the 1918 crop
of barley is to be UP to standard
Investigation by county agents
working with the state council of de-
Tense has proved that the 1917 crop,
supposed to be abundant from the ap-
pearance of an average field, will be
injured by the presence of disease
recently developed. In some fields
the loss will be nominal, ranging from
4 to 6 per cent, but in other fields the
loss has been found as high as Sc per
cent
1.-THE remedy must be applied dur
ing the coming winter" says Dean
Russell. "It is simple. All the farmer
requires is solution of formaldehyde
with which the seed for his 1918 barley
fields must be treated. This will Grad
icate not only the disease with which
we now are contending, but also bar
ley smut"

TURE IN THE STATE SAYS
C. p. NORGARD.
GRAIN is RAPIDLY RIPENING
Most of Hayino Is Finished and the
Crop Is Fine In QuaIity.-Live
Stock in Good Shape and
Pastures Excellent.

Madison-Jrof. C. P. Norgord, state
commissioner of agriculture, said that
the prevailing hot weather was fine
for growing corn and most all other
crops. 1t is too hot for tobacco. caus-
ing that crop to grow to rapidly.
The hot weather is good for all small
grain, which is rapidly ripening and. in
some parts of the state, is being har-
vested. Most of the haying is finished,
except on low land and in the north
ern part of the state, and the crop is
fine in quality and large in quantity.
The weather has also been good for
all kinds of fruit. Pastures generally
are good, owing to the seasonable
rain fall in most parts of the state.
Livestock generally in the state is in
good condition.

RISK RATES TO BE LOWER
Frame. Sheet Iron and Veneer Build
ings Placed BY Insurance Commits
sioner in Class With Brick.

Madison-A reduction in insurance
rates which may approximate saw
ing of 100000 annually, was ordered
by the insurance department and will
go into effect on August 1. This ac-
ton is taken under the regulation law
enacted at the last session of the leg
islature.
The order issued by Insurance Com
missioner Cleary under which this re-
duction will be accomplished provides
that mercantile buildings of frame.
iron clad and brick veneer construc-
ton shall on and after August 1, 1917,
be given the same term privilege as
accorded buildings of like occupancy
of brick or other construction.
These resolutions with the ruling of
the commissioner on term risks it is
estimated will save Wisconsin policy
holders 100000 annually.

But You Can't Rely On
Sprays and [nhalers

There is no use permitting yourself
to be deceived. Perhaps. like thou
sands of others afflicted with Catarrh,
YOU are about ready 10 believe that
the disease is incurable. and that you
are doomed TO spend the remainder Of
your days hawking and splitting. with
no relief in sight from intiamed and
stopped-up air passages that make
the days miserable and the nights
seCDlcss.
Of course this all depends upon
whether or not you are willing 10 con-
time the old-time, make-shifL methods
of treatment that you and many other
sufferers have used for years with no
substantial results. If you are still
content to depend upon the use Of
sprays, douches, inhalers, jellies and
other like remedies by themselves,
that are applied 10 the surafce and cam
not reach below it. then make up your
mind now thatt your Catarrh will re-
main a life companion and will follow
YOU to The grave.
You must realize that the disease
itself. and not its symptoms, is what
YOU have 10 cure OF course you know
that when you are cured of any dis
ease its symptoms will disappear Ca
tarrh manifests itself by inflammation
OF the delicate membranes Of the nose
and air passages. which choke up and
make breathing very difficult. To get
rid Of these distressing effects you
must remove their cause.
