An Easy Way, to

Haven't YOU often wished for a medi-
cine to reduce your flesh" Something

and reduce the flesh, little by little,
until YOU are down to the number of
pounds you wish to weigh. TOO much
flesh is undesirable as most stout peo-
pie will readily admit. and it detracts
from ones good appearances: makes one
clumsy and short of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout when there's this

tablets (don't forget the name) are re-
commended by physicians and are guar

City Clerk John Kelly is no SLOUGH
with the pen as witnesseth the
following from the January mum :
Der of ''The Municipal Record:
A THOUGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR
n / \ Forgetting those things which
are behind and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, press
toward the mark"
PHILIPPIANS Ill 1914.
AS with hesitant hands we put aside
Futures curtain and take our first steps
in the opening year, how little do we
know what is before US. But one thing
is certain. If we desire improvement
in anything, we know that it will new.
er come to us accidentally. 1t will
come to us only through distinct and
resolute purpose.
At this season, we stand at the part.
ing of the ways. Some road we are
to take. We shall choose wisely If, in
to the new year, we carry no hold over
grouches, no former enmities, no last
years strifes. Let us leave these be-
hind, and be glad that we are able to
leave them.
The line of demarcation between the
old year and the new, is not real. 1t
is artiticial-man made. There can be
no actual division, for Life was, Life
is and Life will be.
And we are sailors on the sea OF life.
We sail from the same port, and event
ually, cast anchor in the same harbor,
no matter what course our ships may
take. Some, in ships with silken sails,
are driven by perfume laden zephyrs
through calm, unruffled seas; others, in
battered hulks with blackened and tat
tered sails, are bui1eted by the winds
OF toll and tossed by the waves Of adj
versity throughout the voyage.
But along the way are ports OF refuge,
into which all ships, If they will, may
come. Where all of us may mingle
as common sailors, adjust our com
passes, chart our further journeys, for
get our differences in station and cir
cImstances and typify, in the spirit OF
good fellow ship enriched with little
acts Of kindness, considerat ion, sympa-
thy and love, the Brotherhood Of
Man.
Let us make this Holiday Season one
of these ports. And If there be any
difference of station, or If perchance
one sails in more luxury and comfort
than another, let US forget this, and
meet as brothers whose ultimate des-
tination on the sea of life is the same.
With this thought in our hearts, let
us look into our neighbours eyes today,
and with warm and sincere hand clasp
put real meaning into that old, yet
ever new, wish--a happy new year.

ONE BAD FEATURE.

The amendment to the Owen cor.
rupt practices act, which limits party
funds and regulates the use of politi-
cal advertising in newspapers, has
many good features, but there is one
thab should be opposed. It's well and
good to say that paid advertising must
be labeled, that news matter written
by those not in the employ of the pa.
per must be signed, that no one shall
threaten 70 withdraw advertising or
subscriptions for the purpose of exert.
ing political influence, and TO provide
that no newspaper shall refuse any
lonlioelous political advertising offer
ed paper that opens its columns to
the opposing party.
The Objectionable feature is the
clause providing that. no newspaper
shall charge more than its normal com
mercial advertising rate. Congress has
no more right to say what publisher
shall charge for advertising space than
1t has to dictate to the farmer what
he shall charge for dozen fresh eggs.
However, in practice it might be
well to charge the usual commercial
rate for political advertising, but this
matter should be left to the judgment
Of the individual publisher.

India's Tailor Bird.

The tailor bird of India, tiny yell
low creature, makes most curious
nest. TO escape snakes and monkeys.
this bird takes a dead leaf, flies nj
into tree, and, with a fiber for a
thread and It's bill for needle, sews
the leaf to green one hanging from
the tree, an opening to the nest thus
formed being left at the top. The
leaf, apparently hanging from twig
would never be taken for nest.

Ivy. slrth in Forest Fires.

So hard is the cone of a pine in
the western forests of America that
the imprisoned seeds cannot be propa-
gated in the ordinary way. The best
way Is to burn the cone over hot fire
until it bursts, when the seeds escape.
When forest fires sweep the country
these pine cones have their chance,
and from them new trees grow.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
THE GAIN OF SUNDAY REST,

OF course we do not mean that a
rnan will not produce more in week
by working seven days than by work
ing six days. But we very much doubt
whether, at the end of the year he will
generally produce more by work ing
six days in week. The natural diff
ference between Canpania and Spitz-
bergen is trihing when compared with
the difference between country in
habited by men full OF bodily and
mental vigor and a country inhabited
by men sunk in bodily and mental de.
creptiude. Therefore it is that we are
not poorer but richer, because we
have through many ages rested from
our labors one day in seven. The day
is not lost. While industry is sus.
pended, while the pillow lies in the fur
row, while the exchange is silent,
while no smoke ascends from the fac
tory, process is going on quite as
important TO the wealth OF the nation
as is the work which is performed on
more busy days. Man-the machine
of machines-the machine compared
with which all the contrivances of the
Watts and Arkwrights are worthless
is repairing and winding up, so that
he returns to his labors on Monday
with clearer intellect and livelier spr-
its, Tith renewed corporal vigor.
1t is more pleasant to be invited to
take higher seat than to be deprived
of it. IL is more pleasant to be king
OF cottage than a servant of pal
ace. 1t is better to be good five cent
piece than bogus quarter; in other
words, it is better to hold ourselves
at what we are honestly worth. The
world is full of people who never
know or learn anything, because they
think they know enough to begin with.
Thousands are teaching when they
ought 10 be taught; thousands believe
themselves wise when their ignorance
is lamentalbe, thousands believe
themselves clothed in gold when they
are only thinly plated and the copper
shows N many places. The wisest
are mparatively ignorant and thou
sands of men who have grand ideas
of their own abilities will some day
wake up to the realization that they
have been laboring under large siz-
ed delusion.

Subscrib er--Question: What was
the population of London and New
York as given in the latest census2
Answer: According to the census of
the United Kingdom, taken in 1911,
London, including the metropolitan
aud city police districts, had popula-
ton of 7,25l,35S The official estimates
OF the Bureau of Census of Washing

ion of New York as 5, 1873, $50.
The progress of the University of
Wisconsin during the past biennium,
j9li-l6, is outlined in the biennial
report OF President C. II. Van Hise to
the board of regents, just issued.
None colleges, schools or depart
ments have been added. The total
number of students in attendance has
increased $50, or 12.7 per cent. 1t has
grown from 6,765, in 1914 to 1924
in 1915 Is. Much of this is due to the
growth of sum ner session; the increase
in regular semesters has been 9.5
per cent.
In 1885 La Crosse County farmer
decided that his ordinary "beef ard
milk COWS were not paying, so he
purchased the best pure-bred sire he
could get of the breed desired and
mated him with his herd which was of
mixed breeding. BY keeping careful
records he found that the COWS result
ing from the first cross produced the
first year on the average of PIP pounds
Of butter fat. BY continuing the use
pf pure-b bred sire of the same breed he
increased this amount tos 268. pound
average at the end of the ninth year.
la 1918, in his herd of 25 milking cows,
none produced less than 400 pounds OF
butter fat and several produced 600
pounds.

Don't lie grumbler. Some people
contrve to get hold of the prickly side
OF everything: to run up against the
sharp corners, and find out all the
disagreeable things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as well make
up your mind, to begin with, that no
one ever found the world as he would
like IL; but you are to take your share
OF the troubles, and bear them brave
ly. You will be very sure to have
troubles laid upon you that belong
to otLer people, unless you are shirk
yourself, but don't grumble. If the
work needs doing, and you can do it,
never mind about the other person
who ought to have done it and didn't.
Those workers who fill up the gaps
and smooth away the rough spots, and
finish up the JOE others leave undone,
they are the true peacemakers, and
worth whole lot of GROWERS.
