What's the Latest
in Batteries?

Battery Improvements are
everyday affairs.
Important improvements
come only once or twice in a
decade.
Experts agree that the most
important bait ny Improvement
in years is the perfection of
Threaded Rubber Insulation by

battery insulation.

BUY YOUR COAL NOW

Dr. Harry A. Garfield, United States
Fuel Administrator, has recently no.
titled county fuel administrators to
urge domestic consumers to order
their coal without further delay.
Copies of DR.. Garfelds statement
have been mailed to all newspapers
and retail coal dealers in the state.
Every means possible should be used
in bringing this matter before the pub
lie to the end that all orders for the
seasons coal may be in the hands of
the dealers by May 1st. Every
householder, every public utility, and
every industrial user of coal engaged
in work essential to the prosecution
of the war, are earnestly advised and
urged to place without delay their
orders for coal to cover their needs
for the twelve months beginning April
1. Your order for coal or coke should
be placed at once to insure the deliv-
cry of coal and. coke and to assist the
transportation companies by effecting
delivery of as much coal and coke as
possible before next winter. The pro-
duction of coal in this country is fun
damentally a transportation problem.
There are enough coal cars and
enough locomotives to transport the
necessary quantity of coal, only if
every car and every locomotive is
used to its maximum capacity every

WHEAT, RYE AND STOCK
SITUATION

The condition of winter wheat on
April 1, in Wisconsin, is estimated at
81 per cent of normal, compared to SO
per cent on April 1 last year, and a
ten-year average of SO. The condition
of the crop on December 1, last was
estimated at 92 per cent, indicating a
decline in the condition of the crop
of II per cent. Reports of damage to
the winter wheat crop from winterkill-
ing have been received from many
parts of the State. 1t is too early as
yet to determine how serious the dam
age has been. The freezing and thaw-
ing weather during March damaged
not only the winter wheat but also
the clover and rye. 10000 acres OF
winter wheat were seeded last fall, or
an increase over the area harvested
in 1917, of $4,000 acres. Some OF the
correspondents report that injured
fields are already being reseeded to
spring wheat.
The condition of rye in Wisconsin
on April 1 is estimated to be 8S per
cent of normal, compared to 95 per
cent on April 1 last year and ten
year average of 81 per cent on April 1,
The condition of the crop on December

WHAT YOUR BOND
WILL PURCHASE


The following figures give one a
definite idea of what his or her loan to
the Government by the purchase OF
Liberty Bonds will accomplish when
used by the War Department:
One $50 bond will buy trench knives
for a rife company, or 23 hand gre
nades, or IA rife grenades, or 81 cases
of surgical instruments for enlisted
mems belts, or 10 cases of surgical
instruments for officers belts.
A $100 bond win clothe soldier, OF
feed a soldier for eight months, OF
purchase rifles or 30 rife grenades
or 43 hand grenades, or 25 pounds OF
ether, or las hot-water bags, or 1900
surgical needles.
A $100 and $50 bond will clothe
and equip an Infantry soldier for SER
vice overseas, or feed a soldier for a
year.
Two 500 bonds will purchase q
horse orm ule for Cavalry, Artillery
or other service.
Three 800 bonds will clothe a SOL
dier and feed him for one year in
France, or buy a motorcycle for ma
chine-gun company.
Four 800 bonds will buy an X-Ray
outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicycles
for the headquarters company of an

day in the year. There are enough
operatives in the mine to get the coal
from the ground, if those operatives
can work every day in the year, and il
the coal cars and locomotives are
available every day. If the coal cars
are idle for week or a month, the
result is loss of a weeks or a
months possible coal production.
There is no way to make up this loss.
1.-THE country needs the greatest utili-
zation of the coal carrying facilities
every week and every month. 1t has
no surplus cars and no surplus loco
motives to carry more coal in a sue
ceeding week or in a succeeding
month, to make up for the failure to
use the existing cars and locomotives
in a preceding month. The Fuel Ad-
ministration, through the State Fuel
Administrators and local committees,
is prepared in every reasonable way
to aid public utilities, essential indus
tries, retail dealers and domestic con-
sumers, in placing their orders and
in securing assurance of sufficient
supply of fuel. All these govern
mental agencies, however, are power
less if the consumers themselves fail
to act. Again, therefore, the Fuel Ad-
ministration urges every consumer to
place his orders Immediately.

Germ, when the fact is that slight
sequences.
A Health Bulletin has the following
statements: "Colds are caused by
either eating too much, or improper
food; not drinking enough water; by
constipation, by becoming over heated
or by long exposure to cold winds.
Nerve power is weakened by in
suffi icient sleep-lack of fresh air in
home, church or school; or by over
work, and the result may be what is
commonly termed cold, in one or
more of its various forms.
How to prevent, or cure a cold, is
subject worthy Of study. We know
that nature sets to work at once to
restore the system to normal condi-
ton, but do we not, often fail 10 as
sist, even interfere with her work?
1t is evident that if we could keep
our rooms at the right temperature
with proper humidity, a good start
would be made; but we must have
outdoor exercise and there are sud
den changes, so it is wise to dress
warm during the Spring months; be-
ing careful about changing to lighter
garments There is a temptation tU
put on thin, short sleeved dresses
on the little child. but surely nc
sensible mother will think of taking
off the warm underclothing. 1t should
be the fashion to wear long sleeves
at least those below the elbow, al
summer, in this climate. And there's
another thing: Where there are chill
| dren, or old people, there should be
at least one room in the house where
fire can be started. There are al.
ways cold, rainy days and chilly even
| ings even in midsummer, in this lati

THE GROCERY. STORE WINDOWS
OF WAUSAU GIVE VIVID DEM
ONSTRATIONS OF FOOD
CONSERVATION

In our last issue we touched upon
the decorations of our grocery store
windows to bring forth in a clear
and palmer way the necessity of food
conservation. Recently the teachers
and pupils of our schools arranged
attractive displays for this purpose.
The new war substitutes were very
much in evidence, and samples of
various kinds of foods which can be
easily made from the substitutes were
on display. These windows were
judged the past week by H. G.. Flieth,
w. r. Chellis, Mrs. B. F. Wilson Mrs.
R. w. Jones and Miss Hanna Brun-
stad. This committee visited every
grocery store in the city, which had
a window display gotten up by the
teachers and pupils, and they found
it very hard to make decisions, as
al were very attractive. However,
first place went to the Trinity school
display at HannCmann Bros store,
and the prize was a large picture of
the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. The displays of st.
Mary's school at Dernbach's and Oss-
wald's stores, and that of the Seventh
A and Eighth B of the Franklin school
at Schoenebarg's store, tied for second
place. The display of the Eighth
grade of the Franklin school at Pagen-
kopf's store was given third place
The windows were judged according
to the attractiveness of the display,
originality, effectiveness in bringing
out the desired points, etc. The COM
mittee found it very hard task to
decide on the windows, as every one
was very good and brought out in q
clear way the purpose for which the
exhibit was conducted.

KNIT @C00TIE. BELTS TO
PROTECT BOYS At FRONT

Red Cross comfort kits in the future
will carry to every American soldier in
the trenches a "cootie belt" This belt
is a simple little device for the purpose
of concentrating trench vermin. These
belts may be crochet of any color and
are forty-two inches long and one inch
wide.
These belts can be made in a few
minutes by those experienced in GRO
cheting. Those possessing bits of col
ored yarn are urged to make these
belts and thus relieve much distress
endured by the soldiers in the trenches
The belts can only be worr for TWEEN
ty-four hours and they are discarded
and burned Under such conditions
a great number of these belts are
needed to keep the boys provided witt
the protection they afford.
The idea of these belts originated il
New York and has proven of such re
lief to the boys in the front lin,
trenches that the New York Red Cross
