w AND THE MARINES.

Tell it to the marines" is an old saw that
doesn't go nowadays. The marines are entirely
too smart to be fooled any longer They are as
clever as the rest of the dough boys" and are
highly thought of by all.
The middle west has been taking to the marines
rather handily of late. One would think that the
east, where ships and shipping are at hand in the
coast cities, would develop the greatest liking to
the sea service of the government-naval and ma
rines. But the middle west provides most of the
recruits for both.
If it were not for the fact that midwest VOL
unteers for the army also exceed that of the east
one would think it were due to the curiosity Of
mid-westerners for the sea; that young fellows like
to go somewhere it is different"
But the liking for the sea in the west cannot
be explained on these grounds. 1t appears that
the boys just naturally volunteer most to all posi-
BILE services.

Shall it be Joliet State Park?

A commendable degree of interest is
displaying itself throughout the State
over the question Of the proper naming
of our State parks. A prominent Mil
waukee paper has been discussing
editorially the question of the naming
of the park at the mouth OF the
Wisconsin, and the new one in Trem-
pealeau County. The donor of the
latter to the State, Mr.. John A. Latsch,
favors the name of Perrot, after the
famous French explorer who first Of
white men settled in that vicinity. Mr.
Latsch's choice of name is as wise
as his gift of several hundred acres
to the State for park purposes is
generous. The twentieth century cap
tain of industry honors himself in thus
proposing to commemorate the greatness
of the seventeenth century founder Of
empire.
1t is to be hoped, that the State
of Wisconsin will display equally good
sense by naming the park at the mouth
of the Wisconsin river for Joliet,
leader of the great exploring expedition
which in 1873 at this point first reveal
ed the upper Mississippi to the knoledge
of white men. Wisconsin has long
since honored Marquette, the subor-
dinate on the expedition, by attaching
his name to country, but so far as
our State is concerned the commander,
Joliet, has been forgotten. Since the
park still awaits a name, unique
opportunity is offorded the State to
terminate this long neglect. Such a
name as Joliet Park will constitute a
decided asset to Wisconsin. Old World
communities have long since learned the
value Of capitalizing their historical
associations, thus attracting countless
thousands of American tourists across
the water to view them. Why should
Wisconsin not follow the common sense
example which has thus been set?

INDIGESTION KILLS MANY

Were the means at hand for curing
and preventing diphtheria used as
extensively and as early as they
should be, there would be practical
ly no deaths from the disease nova
days. 1t is not SO very long ago
when the very thought of Diphther-
ia was enough to drive cold chills
up and down the spine of every par
emit. Now it is a comfortable disease
But it is not as yet entirely con-
trolled.
AntltOxln has been the agency
which has reduced the number of
deaths by one-haf. That it hasn't
almost completely wiped out the di-
sease as a cause of death, isn't the
fault Of the antitoxin. Instead, the
fault lies, in practically every in
stance, with somebody's dallying in
the handling of the case. If the
physician and the physician delays
diagnosis and heSitates for one rea-
son or another about giving treat
ment, the disease may have pro

needlessly sacrificed. Perhaps this

SOUNDS LIKE A FABLE
BUT 1T REALLY is TRUE

In 1889 La Crosse County farmer
decided that his ordinary ''beef and
milk" cows were not paying, and so ne
purchased the best pure-bred sire he
could get of the breed desired and
mated him with his herd which was OF
mixed breeding. By keeping careful
records he found that the cows result
ing from the first cross produced the
first year on the average of ZIP pounds
of butter fat. By continuing the use
of pure-bred sire of the same breed ne
increased this amount to 268- pound
average at the end Of the ninth year.
In 1918, in his herd of Is milking cows,
none produced less than 400 pounds OF
butter fat and several produced GOO
pounds.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. means self
poisoning Live: and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing VIC
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous. de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetaniHde,
aspirin or the bromides which tempor-
arily relieve but do not rid the blood of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you Of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter

expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tastelesS, except for a sOurlsh
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake UP with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
plated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and pOisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.
