An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach viii rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of SIS or 80, you will
find that he is light eater. Be as
careful as you viii, however, you
viii occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need OF Cham
berlain's Tablets TO correct the dis
order. These tablets do not contaiz
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its function:
naturally. They also cause a gentle
movement of the bowels.

The Colby Phonograph gives Billy
Allen, our county surveyor, away in
the following manner:
Billy Allen, Marathon county's boss
woodsman, and, by the way, one of
the best in the state, took in Milwau-
kee, couple of weeks ago. Now all
who are acquainted with Billy, know
that If he wants to go to a certain
spot through forest, no matter how
compass handy he takes it with him
for convenience sake, if he hasn't one
handy he goes without. No thought
Of getting lost in the woods ever en-
tered Billy's head 1t is also we'll
known that Milwaukee is one of the
handsomest places to get around in
there is in the Northwest, yet while
in that lovely city, Billy got separated
from his companions, or, they stray ed
away from him, it isn't our province
to say which, but he made a desperate
effort To find his hotel, alone, and
some way or other would always
fetch up at some out-of-the-way place
on the outskirts of the city At last
he stopped, sat down on a curb stone
and put in few minutes of hard
thinking, communing with himself
thusly: Nov this is a thunderin' big
town, if the sun was shinin' 1 could
find my way, though, or if there was
any moss on these ere houses l
could tell which way is north and
which way is south, but no sun and
no moss how in the d Il is a fellow
to tell. Thus Billy sat and rumin-
ated for nearly an hour, rubbing that
red, bushy foretop, meanwhile, as if
trying to stir up an idea. At last he
jumps up with a loud exclamation
that sounded something like hi,
and rushed into a neighboring store.
'Haye you any compasses? ?' He
quickly required of the gentlemanly
clerk, tthey are all gentlemanly clerks
in Milwaukee) and being answered
in the affirmative, he said, lies see
one durnation quick The clerk laid
out several. Billy chose one, laid down
a Standard silver dollar took the
compass and made for the center of
the street, stopping just long enough
to inquire the distance in rods and
furlongS to a certain first class hotel.
Arriving in the center of the street
Billy set his compass, sighted across
the needle commenced to pace it off
and in just fifteen minutes broaght up
at the very spot he so much desired
to reach. BILLY now says If they ey n
get him in city larger than Wausau,
without a compass in his pocket, it
will be long after the election of a
Democratic president, which event
Billy confidently expects will take
place next fall

LOOK OUT OR YOU WILL BE FINED

Hereafter men in citizens clothes
will keep tab on automobiles speeding
on the streets faster than the law al
lows. The city should go after this
systematically and not stop with
keeping watch for a few days and
evenings but keep it up getting their
men out in full force, especially even
ings, when the weather is favorable
for fast driving. There are machines
which travel on some of our residence
streets, at a terrific pace, almost
every evening. A person starting to
cross the street a block away is told
to get out of the way by them footing
horns and whiz, they go by like a
streak. Our city can surely rake in
the fines if it will only get after the
speedeFs.

country, and the different activi-
tiles we rely ON to win this war.
In each ease the same identical

the country. This alone shows
they were started by organized
traitors, or by enemy agents.

them true.
XII people are hereby warned
against believing such stories al
ready started or those which will
be started hereafter. On hear
ing one. ask the teller who told
him or her, and on what authority.
When you cannot run it down
further, report he one who first
told it to the sheriff of the county,
your nearest postmaster, or any

The case of Anderson against
Brown in Antigo, which was tried
before Judge Hogan stirred up much
excitement in that city last week.

shop, and finally remarked that the

At this W H. Brown leaped into the
fray. and used strong language in
expressing his opinion of Anderson.
Anderson then had Brown arrested

Brown, and declared Anderson s
words were not only provocative OF
assault in the ears Of any American,
but would be Immediately reported to

ALFALFA SEED SUPPLY
TurkeStan Variety Imported to
Help Out Domestic Stock.
Not Well Adapted for General Use in
United States and Particularly In
desirable for Eastern Humid
Sections.

from the United States Department OF
Agricultural
During the fiscal years ended June
so, 1913, 1914 and 1915, Approximately
six million, five million, and seven mil
lion pounds, respectively, Of alfalfa
seed were imported, while during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1916, less
than three and one-fourth million
pounds were imported.
For several years Russian Trrkestan
has been the only country having Il
large surplus of seed available for in
ternational trade, but the supply of
seed from this source has been prac-
tically shut off since the beginning of
the European war, until the past WIN
ter. when shipments were begun by
the way of the trans-Siberian railway,
yladivostok, and the Pacific ocean. OF
the seed imported into the United
States since July /, 1915, more than
half has been from Russian Turkestan,
and no doubt more of this seed will be
brought in as transportation can be
arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
year, together with theNdecreased inn
ports, have resulted in marked in
crease in the price Of seed over that
of year ago. The lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year must be
made up by importation, and this will
necessarily be largely Turkestan seed.
1t is known that Turkestan seed is not
well adapted for general use in the
United States and that it is particu-
larly undesirable for use in the eastern
humid sections. On the basis of its
relative crop-producing capacity, the
price Of Turkestan seed should he low.

PROTECT CLOVER FROM RAIN
Fest Practice to Allow Crop to Become
Ripe as Pessible-Cut in Good,
Dry Weather.

An inferior grade of clover seed is
produced when the clover is allowed
10 lie in windows in the field for sew
tral weeks before it is hulled. Vary
ing proportions of the seeds become
brown and often actually lose all GER
ninating powers.
The best practice is to allow the
clover to become as ripe as possible
without loss from Smelling when the
seed is harvested. Cut it in good, dry
weather and then protect it from ex-
posure to rains. Provided huller
can be procured at once, hulling direct
from the field will economic labor.
If it is necessary to delay the hull4
ing, damage and loss to the seed crop
viii be avoided by storing the clover
In a barn or in carefully constructed
and well-covered stack.
