man for the John Wilde Evaporated
Milk company, an Ohio corporation,

that our statement last week said that
the Serge company Of Reedsburg was
a stakeholder in. the company that
bought. the creamery here. He said
that the Sorges nor no other Wiscon-
sin man has an interest in the COM

injury to his concern, and that farm.

mot be injured Ill the least, as they
could still dispose Of it to the Serge
people, who will continue to maintain

BEWARE FOOL
ECONOMY NOW
Dangerous Theory, Says Health
Board to Skimp on Essential
Foods; Cut Elsewhere

Beware how and where you econo-
mize. Going without or skimping on
essential foods lille continuing indulg-
ence in needless luxuries is the worst
kind of false economy in wartime. If
the high cost of living requires econo-
MIXING, cut out the non-essentials. II
there must be short cuts and econo-
mics, let them be made without sacri-
fee to the family's health. Such is
the appeal of the state board of health.

SMOKED HIS CIGAR BY PROXY
Wounded Soldier and Enjoyed
Watching Mans contentment.

With all his brusQueness and even,
at times, brutality, Bismarck, says
Frederick Marvin, had much Of the
'live-and-let-live" philosophy, and it
humanized him so that men loved him
and willingly followed after him. The
story of the last cigar at Koeniggratz
illustrates what has been said, says
the Yorkshire (Eng) Post.
'The value of a good cigar" said
Bismarck, as he proceeded to light an
excellent Havana, "is best understood
when it is the last you possess and
there is no chance of getting another.
At Koeniggratz I had only one cigar
left in my pocket, which I carefully
guarded during the whole Of the bat
tie, as miser does his treasure. I
did not feel justified in using it.
81 painted in glowing colors in my
mind the happy hour when I should
enjoy it after the victory. But I mis-
calculated my chances. And what was
the cause Of my miscalculations? A
poor dragon. He lay helpless, with
both arms crushed, asking for some
thing to refresh him. l felt in my
pockets and found only gold, and that
would be of no use to him. But stay,
1 had still my treasured cigar! I
lighted this for him and placed it be-
tween his teeth. You should have seen
the poor fellows grateful smile! I
never enjoyed a cigar so much as
that one which I did not smoke"

Preventing Milk From Boiling Over.

Among the various devices which
are intended to prevent milk from
boiling over we noticed one which
solves the problem in a very simple
way, says the Scientific American. 1t
consists of a straight tube Of say two
or three inches in diameter at the top
and expanding somewhat toward the
bottom, where it is provided with
f1aring and cup-shaped end Of rather
large diameter, the whole being some
what of trumpet shape. Out of the
lower part are cut, say, four suitable
openings, and we set the device up
right in the vessel with the small end
just out Of the liquid. Should the milk
tend to boil violently this action COM
mences at the bottom, and the liquid
is forced up the tube, then falls upon
the surface again, so that the boiling
action will continue in this way and
the milk has no tendency to leave the
vessel.

MARCH FIRST MONTH OF YEAR
Continued Until Comparatively
Recent Times.

March was the first month in the
Roman year, and since the Romans
were warlike people, they hOnored
Mars, the god of war, by naming the
first month Martius. 1t was the first
month in many parts of Europe until a
comparatively recent date, even in
England the year beginning March 26
until 1852.
The SaXons called it Lenet Monat-
length month-because in March, the
days become noticeably longer, and
this was the origin of the name 'Lent."
The English have a proverb, "a peck
of March dust is worth kings ran
some," and another, "a dry March
never begs it's Bread" which express
their faith in the belief that a dry
March means prosperous year. This
is explained by the fact that they do
most of their planting in March, and
unless the soil is dry, planting often
is delayed.
It's different in America. In the mid
die West more rain falls in March
than in April ordinarily and almost as
much in March as in May.
Almost universally in the North
Temperate zone, March is regarded as
the windy month. Normally it marks
the transition from winter to spring.
