LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 18th, falls
on Tuesday, next. School and COM
munity celebrations will be held
throughout the country under the aus
pices of the National Security League.
The League has organized this nation
wide observance through its $50
branches, scattered in all parts OF
the country, and the various State
Departments of Education.
Many states celebrate LincOln'S
Birthday as Grand Army Flag Day
In some states the day is a school
holiday, and in all states where the
day is observed exercises are held in
schools under the auspices of the
G. A. r., Women's Relief Corps. etc
The Security Leagues idea is to give
a special prominence to these eXer.
ciseS this year and to organize cele-
brations where they would not other
WISE be held. The League has me-
with a ready response in its efforts
and has been enabled to promote
Lincoln's Birthday celebrations il
three states where the day was never
before observed, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Texas.
Let Wausau not be behind in OBJ
serving the birthday of this great ant
good man.

GRIP TIGHTENED ON SMALL
BAKERIES

President Wilson has issued a new
food proclamation, which puts all
bakers using three barrels of -four
under a license. 1t affects all manu-
facturers of cake, crackers, biscuits,
pastry or other bread products, and it
was necessary to secure said license
on or before Feb. 4th, 1918, and this
also includes hotels, restaurants, pub
lie eating houses and clubs, which
serve bread or other bakery products,
of their own baking. There is a
heavy penalty attached. Heretofore
the license applied to bakers using
more than ten barrels of flour a
month. Under the old license store
keepers could sell bread as they
wished, provided they bought from
bakers using more than ten barrels
of flour. Now this feature can be
controlled. Moreover, it gives the ad-
ministration club over public eating
places, which refused to obey the
spirit of wheatless days.

RECEIVE NO PAY

1t seems in Lincoln county, it has
been rumored that the county Coun-
Gil of Defense members are paid. The
Herald says:
Time and again by word or mouth
and in the public press it has been
denied that any member of the Coun-
ty Council of Defense or any of it's
executive officers are receiving any
pay. They are paid absolutely moth
ing. 1t is hard for some people to
believe that there are patriotic cit
zens who will do something for their
country without pay.
If anyone is continuing to circulate
that story they are telling a false
hood The books of the County Coun-
Gil are open to inspection and any
citizen of Merrill or of Lincoln county
is entitled to inspect them at any
time"
The same can be said of the Mara
thon County Council of Defense.

SEE PROSPECT OF SHORTAGE OF
ICE NEXT SUMNER

A large harvest and storage of ma
tural ice for summer use is being
urged, accompanied by the statement
that unprecedented demands fol
ammonia by the Army and Navy indi-
cate shortage in this chemical so
widely used in producing ice and in
refrigeration.
A shortage of ice during warm

lishments dependent upon constant
ice service. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has for dis

About Constipation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese. tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain S
Tablets immediately after supper.
