X OMETIMES It seems as IL every
woman and girl were engaged in
- one OF two things-trying to get
thin, or trying to get fat. Physicians
say that the generally disordered life
most people lead accounts for this,
a woman is nervous, or Of low vital
ity, or has an extra burden OF work
for her strength, and she grows thin
and anaemic. Or, normally healthy
woman, taking less exercise than she
should, and eating more than she
should. proceeds to get too fat The
remedy, in either case, lies in the
diet.
We've often talked here OF what
the fat woman ought not to eat if
she wants TO set thin. Nov. the very

Commerce Commission the question
of express rates and will endeavor to
secure a different classification for
laundry shipments to have them plac-
ed on the same basis as bakery goods.
j. J. Normington states. A letter from

ton recently stated that it is believed
the decision ofthe commission will be
unfavorable to the shippers.
Mr.. Normington says that his firm
here paid about $500 in express char
ges on shipments going and coming
last year. The Normington laundry
at Marshfeld paid more than $4,000
and that at Grand Rapids about $500.

ANCIENT
HISTORY
ITEM

We had the pleasure of a long visit
with Fred Hecox now of North Ya6i-
ma, Washington, but formerly resi-
dent of Rudolph, Wood County, Wis
consin. Fred left Wood County six
teen years ago and has been in the or
chard business ever since he left for
his new home in the West. He was
here eight years ago and was called
here the past week on account of the
death OF his mother, Mrs. H. H. HecoX
whose remains were laid in their last
resting place along side that of her
husband in Forest Hill cemetery. Since
the funeral he has been visiting with
old time friends. In our visit with
him he told us of many ancient relics
that he found among his mothers eff
fects
One was furlough issued to his
father Horace Hecox on August 81 to
October 3Oth in 1868. His father was
corporal of Captain James Ordway
of Company D, Fifth Regiment. Wis
consin Volunteers Another was an
itemiZed bill for merchandise that his
father paid to A. Knapp Jr., who was
dealer in general merchandise in Grand
Rapids in 1865. The popularity a.
bout this bill was that the prices then
were even worse than they are now
due to the Civil War conditions, and
some of our old residents will remem-
Der Mr.. Knapp Among other relies
that were very interesting were let
ters written to Mrs. HecoX by her re-
iatives from 1850 to 1865, giving ac-
counts of the troubles that were then
brewing between the North and the
South which ended in the Civil War
Some of these letters bore evidence
of the fact that postage stamps were
not then in use. The envelope was
simply stamped postage cents"
One other relic that was very inter.
esting to US was the old bullet anC
powder inclosed in paper, coarse
brown paper instead Of the brass shell
