BOHEMIA HIVE OF INDUSTRY
Little Country, Now to Be Given Op-
portunity to Progress, Has Been
Much Misunderstood.

Not one of the little countries which
have come into being as independent
states, or parts of new nations, since
the triumph of the allies, is more often
misunderstood in America than b.
hernia has always been. The very
name has implied, for many persons,
the unconventional ways of artists,
the gypsying of Migrants, and the i'm
patience of restraint which is sup
posed to characterize countries remote
from great centers of trade and in
dustry am IaSAaf backward in their
business interests.
But Bohemia is wonderful hive OF
Woodworking and skilled artisans. 1t
is one of the most densely populated
countries in the world, exceeding. in
that respect, Germany, Australians
gary, as a whole or in either half of
the old monarchy, and even Italy. The
number of inhabitants, in proportion
TO the area. is IS per cent greater than
It Is In France Bohemia is almost
exactly half as large as Ohio, but its
nearly 100000 at the be-
ginning of the war, is about IS per
cent greater than that of this state.
There Is no other division of Aus
tria-Hungary, taking into the reckon
ing the entire territory formerly in
that dual monarchy, which is equal TO
Bohemia in manufactures. 1t is a
notable center Of iron and steel pro-
duction. Its textiles are an impor-
tant factor in the trade of Europe. and
its glassware, china, sugar. beer, chems
i, ais, paper, tobacco, lace, toys and
many other products of skill and pa
tent labor are widely known. Neees-

HOW Can YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
In their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
fiavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of f1avorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

AS YOUNG AS
YOUR KIDNEYS

The secret of youth is ELIMINA-
TON OF POISONS from your body.
This done, you can live to be hundred
and enjoy the good things of life with
az much "pep" as you did when in the
springtime of youth. Keep your body
in good condition, that's the secret.
Watch the kidneys. They filter and
purify the blood, all of which blood
passes through them once every three
minutes. Keep them clean and in
proper working condition and you have
nothing to fear. Drive the poisonous
wastes and deadly uric acid accumula-
tons from your system. Take GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules and you
will always be in good condition. You
will feel strong and vigorous. with
steady nerves and elastic muscles.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil CAPSULES
are imported direct from the labora-
tories at HARLEM, Holland.
They are a reliable remedy which
has been used by the sturdy Dutch for
over 200 years. and has helped them
to develop into one of the strongest
and hearthiest races of the world. Get
them from your druggist. Do not take

History of Fairs in Wisconsin.


The county fair has been a great
educational factor in the development
of the state of Wisconsin. The idea
was recognized by the first state leg
islature in 1S4S, and, while the county
fair law has been changed and ex-
tended at many sessions, there has
never been a curtailment of the state
encouragement.
Almost every session of the legisla-
ture considers county fair bills, but
the result has always been that the
financial aid has been increased.
Probably no single institution, unless
1t Is the college of agriculture and the
farmers Institutes, has had such a
stimulating effect on better agricul-
ture and the adoption of approved
methods of farming as the county
fair. This latter opinion is expressed
by G. w. Vergeront, who has spent
years studying the problem.
In wisconsin the greater number of
county fairs owe their existence to
acts granting aids TO societies of an
agricultural nature. Probably the
first movement in favor of agricul-
tural aid was the introduction of a
bill in the first state legislature, On
July 81, 1S4S. The result of this step
was that constitution for a state
agricultural society was drawn up and
finally adopted on March Z, 1S49. The
society was established and held the
first state fair at GAINESVILLE, on DC.
tober 1, 1851. Later the organization
was Incorporated.
Many Wisconsin county fairs were
organized and held exhibitions before
they received state aid" says G. w.
VergerOnt, in a thesis which he re-
Gently prepared on the subject.
"The KenOsha Agricultural society
held the first county fair held in Wis.
conSin at Bristol, on October 10, 1850
The next week the farmers of Wal.
worth county held a fair at East Troy.
Nine other associations held county
exhibitions before the act for the en-,
couragement and promotion of agri,
culture was passed in 1856; Colum.
bia, Fond du Lac, Grant, Jefferson,
Sank, Sheboygan, Washington and
Waushara Agricultural societies were
the pioneers. This legislative act
gave groups of citizens power to form
agricultural societies, and draw UP
constitutions and elect officers. One
hundred dollars was to be paid an.
nually to the society which complied
with certain conditions"

EeebIe.Minded Patients :

Feeble Minded Patients Transferred.
Fifty-eight patients from the home
for the feeble-minded at Chippewa
Falls have been transferred to the
southern Wisconsin home for the fec
ble-minded at Union Grove, Racine
county. This transfer marks the
opening of the new state institution
which has been under erection for the
past four years. OF the patients
transferred, % mere males and 25
were females. A report of the trans
fer has just been filed with the legisla-
ture by the state board of control. The
claim is made to the legislature that
the present facilities are not adequate
to care for the number of feeble-mind-
ed in the state. Additional buildings
will be asked for at the Union Grove
institution.
According to the report of the board
of control there are 1888 insane pa
tients in the state under public care.
Of this number 1905 are cared for In

The DeadIiest Poison.

Washington, May 24.-Guardtd
night and day and far out of human
reach on pedestal at the Interior
Department Exposition here is a tiny
vial. 1t contains specimen OF the
deadliest poison ever known. 1T is
"Lewisite," product of an'Am"rican
Scientist. 1t is what Germany es-
capped by signing the armistice before
all the resources Of the United States
were turned upon her.
Ten airplanes carrying 'Lewisite'
would have wiped out every vestiage
of life-human, animal and vegetable
in Berlin. A single days output
would snuff out the 100000 lives
on Manhattan Island. A single drop
poured in the palm of the hand would
penetrate to the blood, reach the
heart and kill the victim in great
agony.
What was coming to Germany may
be imagined by the fact that when
the armistice was signed it was being
manufactured at the rate Of 10 tons
a day. Three thousand tons OF this
most terrible instrument ever con-
ceived for killing would have been
ready for business on the American
front on March /.
"Lewisite" is another of the big
secrets of the war just leaking out.
1t was developed in the Bureau OF
Mines by Prof. w. Lee Lewis, of
Northwestern University, Evanston,
Ill , who took commission in the ar
my as captain. 1t was manufactured
in a specially built plant near Cleve-
land called the mouse trap" because
every workmen who entered the stock
ade went under an agreement not
to leave the II acre space until the
war was won. This of course was to
protect the secret.
Work on the plant was started Is
days after the Bureau of Mines had
completed its experiments. The
other preparations to bring the gas
into the war went forward with like
speed but the armistice prevented
the Germans from ever experiencing
a full realization of what they had
begun when they turned their prim-
tive gases on the Canadians in Flan-
ders in the early days of the war.
Experts are certain no one will
want to steal the sample. Everybody
