DR.. w. d. Sansum, Chicago, who has
been visiting in Baraboo, says that
eating and sleeping properly, work
ing enough to keep one in normal
cond ton, and manifesting cheer
full disposition go a long way toward
extending ones span of years Reg
ularity in living and happy disposi-
ton keep away disease and death. A
person who goes moping about, who
looks on the dark side of life, is liable
have indigestion and consequent
complications. Disease is the result
of two things, accident or wrong liv-
ing Eating the wrong foods or not
eating enough, mean trouble. DR..
Sansum has made a speciality of
looking upon the life and disease in
the proper aspect and fully realizes
the human machine will not stand all
the stress that is imposed upon it
without something giving way Con-
slant care is demanded if long years
are to be enjoyed.
The Winnebago Indians have reap
ed fine income from the BURBERRY
harvest near Black River Falls this
year. The berries have been very
plentiful everywhere the market has
taken all they could pick at good pri-
ces, and the Indians have made the
best of the favorable opportunity.
One family sold $500 worth of berr-
les, another reported sales of over
$500, while numerous families had
from 500 to $500 to the good from
their pickings.

Speaking Of disease, he believes
the Influenza will return just as soon
as people commence to live in closed
houses, not eating properly, and not
having the usual amount of exercise.
The germs are about and ready to
seize upon the first opportunity up
on the victim whose normal condition
is low. He predicts people will use
more care and that the results will
not be as dire as last winter.

Almost never before in American
history has the business man been
SO safe as he is today. Commercial
mortality has been reduced to a
point where it would see that the
proprietor of business that fails
must be very poor business man or
else the victim of an unusual set of
circumstances. The total number OF
failures in the United States in the
six months to July / were the small
est recorded since 1881. And in 1881
there were scarcely half as many con-
Germs in business as now. The total
failures in the first six months of the
present year numbered 3,46S, as
against 5,889 in the first half OF 1918
and 7,488 in the first half OF 1917.
The decrease this year as compared
with last year, amounts to 41.2 per
cent. The best showing is made by
the Middle West, with decrease OF
"a percent. Tt would seem to be
fact that business thrives best when
prices are est.-Chamberlains.

Queer points come up under Indus
trial Compensation Laws. One Of the
oldest was the loss by accident OF a
sixth toe; the ordinary 1--WE toes are
specified and damage value stated in
the law, but no value is placed on a
sixth toe. The Commissioners. like a
new Solomon, decided that the loss of
q sixth toe did injure the foot and
awarded $50 compensation. The ac-
count ends: Going out Dieptro (the
injured man) shook hands with the
Commissioner, and then the latter
learned that he has five fingers and
| thumb on each hand, AZ well as six
toes on each foot" i

An East African paper describes
1uel between motor and lioness.
The affair, it says, happened at night
1ear Nairobi. The chauffeur noted a
commotion in the bush near the
road then the cleaning eyes of an
animal. He accelerated his
speed at the instant the noness leap
I'd. She struck the hood and was
brown far in advance of the car,
whose wheels then passed over her.
The dead Honess was finally loaded
nto the car and taken back to tbs
own in triumph.
