WOULD AID LAND CLEARING
Measure introduced in Senate Pro-
vides for Study of Various Con-
ditions in Cutover Districts.

Madison-Better methods and tools
for removing stumps in upper Wis
consin is considered by Senator A.
H. Wilkinson of Bayfield, to be one of
the most important needs in the de-
velopment of the northern counties.
After many years of close study of the
needs Of the settlers in the cutover
districts, Senator Wilkinson has in
troduced bill, which he believes is
of fundamental importance in that it
aims to find out which are the best
methods and equipments to be used
and then to get that information be-
fore the people.
The bill calls for a two-year continu-
alton of the demonstration work
started last year by the college of agri-
culture. Arrangements are made by
which the college is to investigate
methods of clearing cutover lands and
use the experiences of others in form
ulating the best methods for the vari-
Gus conditions found in upper Wis
consin.

BREAD WEIGHT BILL PASSED
State Senate Engrossed Skogmo Meas
ure Virtually Placing All Sales
on Weight Basis.

Madison-After brief debate, the
state senate engrossed the Skogmo
bill standardizing bread weight. The
standard loaf is one pound, but larger
loaves are permitted to be sold by
weight. A standard half loaf from 71a
to 8 ounces is permitted. The effect
Of the bill will be to virtually place
all bread sales on the weight basis.
Senator Roethe attacked the measure
in speech suggesting that the legis-

size of cookies and the holes in dough-
nuts. Senator Skogmo also succeeded
in advancing a measure for the ap-

referendum measures.

The mobilization will be at Camp
Douglas. Winter conditions still pre-
vail there to some extent, but the
troops will be equipped for camping
as in winter campaign. The units
will probably be kept at Camp Doug
las for about two weeks before they
are distributed for defense elsewhere,

MAY REORGAN|zE>.
EDUCATION BOARD
SPEAKER WHiTTET'S MEASURE
GETS ENDORSEMENT OF VAN
HiSE AND kITTLE.
TO ELIMINATE POLITICS
Proposed That Governing Boards Of
Different Institutions Shall Have
Power to Administer Funds
After Being Recommended.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Charles r. Van
Hise of the University of Wisconsin
and William Kittle, secretary of the
normal school regents, before the SEN
ate committee on education and pub
lie welfare, Endorsed Speaker Law
renee G. Whittet's bill to reorganize
the central board of education.
The measure aims to remove the
possibility of political domination of
this body, and to clarity the law so
that the governing boards of the diff
ferent educational institutions shall
have power to administer funds after
they are recommended by the central
board and made by the legislature.
The bill will in all probability be re-
reported for passage. Two members
of the senate, however, have indicated
they will speak against the proposed
change because they believe that the
actual supervision Of finances in the
existing statute is desirable check
to retain. If the law is changed as
suggested, they feel the boards only
function would be to pass on esti
mates, which they regard as the sur
render of certain valuable powers of
supervision after appropriations are
made.
Secretary Of State Merlin Hull was
the only person to oppose the meas
ure. Under the law enacted two years
ago, the secretary of state serves as a
member of the central board of educa-
ton, and Hull told the committee he
did not propose to be brushed aside
without making a protest. He raised
the point that in the last campaign adj
vertisements that he was unfriendly
to the university were published in
newspapers. He intimated that be-
cause he has differed with President
Van Hise on the question of policy,
perhaps his presence on the board
was not desired.

Healthy SKIN Depends

The skin and the intentines, which
work together with the kidneys to
throw out the poisons of the body, do
a part of the work, but a clean body
and healthy one depends on the kid

toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness
in the knees in the morning on arising,
your joints seem rusty" you may have
rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff
neck, headaches, sometimes swollen
feet, or neuralgia pains-all due to the
uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood.

FAVOR REFERENDUM
EVJUE BILL GOES TO ENGROSS,
MENT AFTER HOT DEBATE.
Lower House Advances the Statewide
Prohibition Measure by q
Vote of So to ~.

Madison - The assembly, after a
sharp fighting, advanced to engross-
ment the Evjue bill for statewide
referendum on prohibition, the roll
call showing fifty-two members for
the measure and forty-four against.
Unless there is a change of senti-
ment in the house the bill will be
passed and messaged to the senate,
where the vets will be given another
opportunity to make a stand.
That Gov. Philip will sign the ref
erendum if it escapes defeat in the
legislature is regarded as certain.
In the amended form suggested by
Assemblyman w. T. Evjue, the bill
provides for popular vote in the April
election of 1918, instead of in the fall
election of that year. A. c. Otto's
amendment that the saloons are to go
out of business in July, 1920, if Wis
consin swings into the prohibition col
umn, was made part of the meas
ure.
