GUARDSMEN FOR THE TRENCHES

The three companies which with Co.
h, the local company, comprise the Sec
ond battalion of the second regiment
of Wisconsin infantry have been order
ed to mobilization with other picked
Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan
troops for service in France in the
very near future. They are to form a
pa ty of the S3rd Infantry. There was
30 ne speculation yesterday when this
news was given out as to why The local
company was not included. Probably
only three Wisconsin companies were
needed for the organizations, being
formed and Companies e, f and G
we're taken in alphabetical order
These companies are respectively from
Fond du Lac, Oshkosh and Appleton
and have been associated with Co. b
for years and were parts of the same
battalion on the border last year. 1t
is now predicted that no part of the
2nd regiment will go to Waco or other
southern camp but will soon move
near the Atlantic seaboard for early
departure to France.
Reports from Camp Douglas, where
the local boys now are located are to
the effect that the boys have settled
down to camp life, are working hard
and that everything is harmonius
The men are being rapidly whipped
into an ideal military unit. They are
mostly veterans of the Texas drill of
last year which steadies the company
far beyond the condition of green
troops.

Never Heard of Bible.

A boy of ten, called as Il witness at
Marlehone on behalf of the education
department Of the London county
council and described as very lntellt
gent for his age told the magistrate h,
had never heard Of the Bible and did
not know what II was. He also said
he had never been to church or Sunday
school. You cannot do anything with
this boy" said the magistrate. "He

Hot Meals on the Vino,

Since the only practical way by
which the passengers of an airplane
can have a hot drink or hot food is
through the use of vacuum bottle or
Jar. the idea has been suggested that
the manufacturers of aircraft would do
well to build into their machines q
number of pockets or wall cases for
vacuum bottles, so that the latter.
tilsse with pre.hestea food, could be
carried In safaly.---Seisrki1ss American.

Teeth Under snnnlclon.

Bad teeth nre now believed to be an
important source Of rheumatism heart
disease and kidney trouble The germc
producing these diseases may get into
the system from an unSuspected abs
cess at the root Of tooth, whose pres
ence may be revealed only by an Y
ray photograph. Doctors tell of chill
dren recovering from Brlghts disease
as soon as their teeth are properly
cared for. In fact the teeth have come
under suspicion along with the tonslls,
and X-ray pictures Of them are part of
thorough physical examination.

! The first crib on the Har bor eXten-
sion was sunk on the south pier Tues
day, 1t is fifty feet long, substantially
built, and we think is sunk better and
more level than any of the old ones in
either pier, and reflects great credit on
the contractors.

The man that possesses the most
stylish walk in this city is named Il,
Halverson. If you don't believe it you
ought To have been around and "saw
the style Of him" when he walked into
the Pilot office Monday morning with
a watermelon under each arm;-at
least the boys thought he had good
deal OF. style about him as they gnawed
huge slices of watermelon and defed
the cholera. All return thanks for
his Kind remembrance o ( them.
COAL YARD Messrs. Truman Il
Morse, the well known proprietors of
the hay press and wood yard on the
corner OF Quay and Sixth streets, have
opened coal yard in connection with
their other business, where they pro-
pose to keep general supply of coal
for all purposes. They have just re
ceived 100 tons of Lehigh and Bloss.
burg coal which they will dispose Of at
the cheapest possible price.
We were invited to put in an appear
ance with party of about thirty ladies
and gentlemen for an excursion on the
Lake Shore Railroad to witness the
track-laying which is progressing rap
idly of late. The construction train
took the advance with iron and ties,
the party following with a Pullman
caOoose and platform car.
The trains were backed down anu
made ten or twelve miles per hour,
returning we made fully twenty miles
per hour. After leaving the city the
road bed is a straight shoot for nine
miles and in its new and unbal Iastea
condition presents smoother surfa @
than many old reads of this state. If
the road from this city to Milwaukee
is Us good as the eleven miles traversed
yesterday, passengers riding in a pass
enger coach % miles per hour would
not know but that they were riding
over an old road-bed, which certainly
reflects credit on those concerned in its
construction.
