SCREENS WORRY
ALDERMEN At
SECOND CITY
They Are Ordered Removed from
Billiard Halls, But Not from
Soft Drink Places

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the city council at Reedsburg the
matter Of removing the blinds and
screens from the temperance saloons
and billiard rooms was discussed by
the council and citizens. After much
discussion the council voted to re-
move the screens from the billiard
r,0oms. But when the question of re-
moving them from the temperance sa-
looms came up, the council by three to
two voted to let them remain. When
the vote was called for the following
members voted against the project:
Stone and Skinner; those in favor
we're: Pape, Zech and Wischoff. No
particular reason was given that the
blinds should not be removed, except
by Alderman Pape, who said women
going in to eat lunch did not lake to
do so before the public.

themselves to be when we first made
good our national independence. The

soldiers you are, but also what good
men you are, keeping yourselves fit
and straight in everything and pure
and clean through and through. Let
us set for ourselves a standard so high
that it will be glory to live up to
it and then let us live up to it and add
a new laurel to the crown of America.
My affectionate confidence goes with
you in every battle and every test.

SENDS LITTER
FROM FRANCE
Miss Towle, Sister Of 7. B. TowIe,
Baraboo, Tells Of Conditions in
Land Over the Sea

The following letter has been re-
ceived by r. B. Towle from his sister,
Miss Mary Towle, nurse, now in
France.
Have been wondering il you have
the best markets for your butter. I
understand the underwear mills are
organizing and expect to systematic
their markets and thus eliminate the
oversupply in some places and the
scanty supply in other places. Won
dered if you understand the move
ment and you buttermakers and cream.
cry organizations are doing the same
thing.
My letter that I wrote three days
ago did not get by the censor, so l
am now writing another one. Our
mail has not been really Strengthened
out yet. We expect it will come in
punches soon; at least "rumor'' keeps
us well supplied with "hopes" that q
lot is coming
We are very comfortably supplied
with all the essentials Of life, al
though not permanently settled. The
position is very favorable to our hap.
piness, really in most beautiful
country and on a trolley line to a
large city, with parks, splendid stores,
cozy tea rooms and hotels and restau.
rants. The buildings are very good
and will make us splendid hospital,
where efficient work can be done un~
der the best modern conditions.
Last week we were on the wards,
where they had patients of ali ma
tions, and they were an intelligent
lot. Those who speak French and
could talk with them had a wonder
fully good time hearing about the
parts they played in the war.
Ways Are Differert
Today, as every Sunday. we have
our services held in the beautiful
grove that surrounds our buildings.
Our services are all Episcopal, and
am learning the order of the service.
( 1t is the most complete change | ever
had to experience. Not only is our
method of living different from the
ordinary institution, but do not even
have the familiar church service to
| fall back on.
| The country around is most inter-
| esting. We take long walks. The
red rooted chateaux, and houses are
very picturesque among the groves
and green that surround them We
have the privilege of peeking through
the gratings of the high gates, even
though they do not open to us and in
vite us in. There is large variety or
trees here. The most picturesque is
the Normandy poplar" standing up
SO tall and straight against back
ground Of sky. The sunsets are beau
tiful. The blackberries will be ripe
in about week. The vines are thrifty
and Just loaded The vineyards are
well kept and look well from the
.road
Our patients have left us and we
expect to be very busy, beginning next
week, getting the buildings into shape,
then putting in the equipment we
have brought with us. 1t will be a
great delight to us when it is all
! ready for use.
Note: This letter was opened by
a censor, Chaplain H. X. Sherrell.

p CARLOADS CAT
TIE ON SATURDAY.

The number Of cattle shipped from
Weakley county on last Saturday
indicates that our farmers are doing
theft Bit toward replenishing the
wOtid's meat supply, for on this day
IL carloads IL find beef cattle were
shioped from three points in the
county hy dealers. Martin buyers
sent out 8 carloads, Dresden, two
carloads, Gleason two, making IL
carloads Of Beef cattle in all. 1t is
our information that neither Green
field or Sharon made shipments on
that day.
A good price was paid for this cat
tie, and thus snug sum Of money
was put into circulation and into
the farmers pockets. If there ever
was a time when the farmer was "it
with a big l, that time is now, and
their friend, the Enterprise, truly
reioices with 'em in this wave OF
prosperity. Why, next year we ex-
pect to see every farm home equipp-
ed with lighting and water plants
and those other home comforts SC
necessary to keep the boys and girls
on the farm. ... D..

CALOMEE DYNAMITEs
4. SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just 60 to
your druggist and get bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone for a few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calOmel. Take spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just so back and get your
money,
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it.
