DRINK
BUTTERM|LK

Even when sourest, if it is still
in good condition, buttermilk is a
valuable medicinal agent. A re-
freshing acid, it is always nourishing
without being insipid. The Tactic acid
which it contains attacks and dissolves
every kind of starchy deposit in the
blood vessels, keeps the veins and
arteries supple, and free from matter
which might otherwise clog them, and
destroy the irritating calcareous de-
posts that may gather around the
joints, as well as any poisonous waste
in the muscles. It is not only bene-
fetal to the digestion, but also for
tuberculosis and all other pulmonary
complaints. 1t is also a harmless sub
stitute for intoxicants.
Drinking buttermilk freely-two
quarts daily would not be too much
is said to preserve the complexion of
youth, and as equity difficulties gener-
ally arise from sluggish execretion it
is blessing to all who suffer from
such complaints.
Buttermilk not only tones the
stomach, but furnishes material from
which healthy blood may easily Ue
made 1t is also easy Of assimilation,
and, in cases where sweet milk would
prove Objectionable from a medicinal
point of view, it may safely be given
with every assurance of beneficial eff
feet.

AND EGGS

Madison, Wis, July S. Wisconsin
will easily produce it's expected quota
of three and half million extra
pounds of poultry meat in 1917.
In addition to this feat of emergency
defense work, the states focks have
been pledged by their managers to
produce one extra dozen of eggs for
every man, woman and child in Wis
consin next year.
Better breeding, the use of trap
nests better care of young poultry of
all kinds, and the feeding of sensible
rations will be responsible for these
remarkable gains in Wisconsin's fea-
thered army, authorities say.
Another vital reason for Wiscon-
sins splendid response to the call for
poultry recruits is caused by the gem
eral interest in chickens, ducks and
geese manifested by town jewellers as
we'll as by farmers.
''There are more back yard chicken
plants doing a successful business
this year than ever before in the
states history" declares J. G. Halpin,
head of the poultry department, Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Asked what he
considered a fair ratio between the
volume of poultry products raised on
regulation farms on the one hand and
town lots on the other, he estimated
that two to one would be about right.

of city poultry raising in the state of

SCAN1Y
eyebrows

If your brows are thin and scanty
and so fair as to be unnoticeable a
little vaseline rubbed on every even
ing will make tremendous difference.
The rubbing should be done gently in
an outward direction, from the nose
toward the temples. The hairs should
never be rubbed in the opposite direc-
ton. The eyebrows require more care
than is often bestowed on them. They
should be brushed regularly with
soft, clean brush in an outward direc-
ton.

SHALLIT 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 promi-
nent Milwaukee paper has been dis
cussing 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 a name is as
wise as his gift of several hundred
acres to the State for park purposes
is generous. The twentieth century
captain Of industry honors himself in
thus proposing to commemorate the
greatness of the seventeenth century
founder of empire.
It is to be hoped, that the State of
Wisconsin will display good sense by
naming the park at the mouth of the
Wisconsin River for Joliet, leader of
the great exploring expedition which
in 1878 at this point first revealed the
upper Mississippi to the knowledge of
white men. Wisconsin has long since
honored Marquette, the subordinate on
the expedition, by attaching his name
to a county, but so far as our State
is concerned the commander, Joliet,
has been forgotten. Since the park
still awaits a name, unique oppor-
tunity is afforded the State to termi-
nate this long neglect. Such name
as Joliet Park will constitute a decid-
ed asset to Wisconsin. Old World COM
munities 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?

If YOU BURN STRAW
YOU BURN REAL MONEY

When timothy hay is selling at $40
a ton, as it will be this winter, oats
straw will be worth $40 a ton as a
feed, and wheat straw, $3.50.
For this reason, the state committee
on food production and conservation
is sending out an urgent appeal to the
farmers of the state not to burn straw
under any conditions. Farmers in
northern Minnesota, North Dakota and
Montana are short of roughage and
are selling their livestock on that ac-
surplus straw in more favored re-
count. If they can get some of the
gions, they can save much of this
livestock. Therefore, the farmers in

SPARE THE RED o

1t is unfortunate that a Red Cross meeting in North Dakota
should have been made the occasion for airing a political squabble.
1t is bad enough to have political factions struggling for possess
sion of the flag, so that each may proclaim himself the only pat
riot, but that species of demagoguery is no, quite as bad as getting
the Red Cross into politics.
Behind this organization the generous impulses OF the Ameri-
can people must concentrate. It stands for humanity and for char
ity. Even the pacifst or that other sort of individual who has not
yet learned to be an American, but secretly hopes for the success
of this nations enemies-even they both, if they have the in
stincts of generosity, of charity and of human brotherhood, can
get behind the Red Cross and find pleasure in doing their part.
Let there be no monopoly and no politics in the Red Gross.

not be forgotten there can at least be a truce--Fargo Courier

We are at war, and war is stern business.
Not only must men go and give their lives, and women weep
with breaking hearts, and fortunes fail, and hopes and plans he
swept away, but hardest perhaps of all, opinions must be sacrificed
and convictions stifed.
Yes, the spiritual sternness of war is not insignificant.
You don't believe in war. Neither did |. You thought it the
curse of selfish kings, the stupidity of blind statesmen, the incon-
elusive ravening of brute force. 1t was so unnecessary. 1t is the
monstrous shame and drunken folly of civilization.
True! But the cohorts of barbarOus ruthlessness have moved
TO crush the nope OF democracy. The wolves are at the door. The
maniacs of militarism howl in the streets of the wono. The twist
ed morality of crazy pride has pulled God from His throne and set
thereon race pride.
So let us, hating as we do, take up the sword. We can do no
other.
Our country, after long patience, has soemnly unfured it's ban
nr and entered the lists. We can do nothing else than put our
cherished hope of world peace away until the terror be overpast.
When the floods threaten it is every man to the bikes, to save
the houses in the valley.
When the confagration spreads, it is every man to fight the
fire.
When the savage war-whoops fill the all, and the murderous
barba1ians swoop down upon the village, it is every man to his
rifle and the women to loading guns.
Socialism may be desirable, and pacifsm our ultimate goal, and
capital and labor may need adjusting, and a whole lot OF things in
our country be wrong and call for reform; but we've no time to
argue now. When we have routed the enemy and saved the fabric
of civilization from destruction, we will take these matters up.
For there is no conceivable problem that will not be a hundred
fold more desperate if Germany wins.
Let military junkerdom come off victorious and every reform
set back a generation.
Hence, suffragettes, please shut up, if such a thing is possible;
and socialists, and conscientious DIRECTORS, and England-baiters,
and all the rest of the theorists and propagandists and apostles of
this, that, and the other
Wait!
Just now there's a mad dog loose in the ways of the world.

"The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples OF this

establishment controlled by an irresponsible government which,
having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry
the plan out without regard either to the sacred obligations Of
treaty or the long-established practices and long-cheIished pIine
ciples of international action and honor; which chose its own time
for the war; deliver its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no
barrier either OF law or of mercy; swept q whole continent within

innocent women and children also and of the helpless poor; and
