Dear Sir:
The cool weather Of this morn
ing emphasized the fact that straw
hat season is at an end. In re-
marking to my wife that I intend-
ed to purchase a fall hat today she
advised that / look over The Wasn-
ington Herald advertisements and
see IL any were specially advertised.
/ am not much given to reading
advertisements. but followed this
advice and am glad that 1 did SO,
as / saw the right offering. /
looked at hats at other places and
was convinced that those offered at
$2.29 were the equal of others I saw
offered at $500. so purchased one,
saving II cents.
Hereafter I will be guided by nv
wife's advice and read Herald ad-
vertisements before shopping, as
they tell where to find the bargains
Of live merchants.
Very truly,
]. w. McCONCHIE,

Pushed by the abdominal muscles,

When this has been done, stand be-
fore an open window and begin to
inhaIe, drawing the air in slowly.
When the lungs feel full, stop while
you expand the aDdOmlnal muscles
to permit the lower lung to become
filled.
Then inhale against until you feel

Next, hold your breath ten seconds,

100, 900 Hunt This Year.

Sixty-three thousand deer hunters
IN the state Of Wisconsin! That figure
was given out by the conservation COM
mission as the total of deer tags sold
this fall.
Upwards OF 100000 hunting licenses
have been issued. This year, for the
first time, the expedient was tried OF
requiring deer hunters to purchase an
extra tag in addition to their hunting
license, which costs ten cents. Obvi-
ously, only those intending to hunt
deer paid attention to the extra tax.
Trapping licenses were also issued
for the first time this year. Their to-
tai at present, 10000, is great sur
prise to the commission. as the early
estimate was only 5000. Most of the
licenses have been going to trappers
of muskrat and mink. living along
river and lake shores. Others, how
ever, are going to all parts OF the
state for the use of trappers of every
variety Of Wisconsin's long list of fur
bearers.
