Prevention of Cruelty
By A. e. Frederick
State Humane Officer

State Humane Officer
"Preventives of evil are far better
than remedies. cheaper and easier
of application, and surer in result" -
Tryon Edwards.
The season is fast approaching
when neglect of animals will entail
great suffering. This suffering must
be met by immediate relief. There
lis no greater crime than cruel neg
lect of our animal friends, and a
commonwealth boasting of it's high
ideals must not overlook their well
I fare.
There are times to talk; there
are also times to act. We need ac-
ton as the winter approaches. HUI
name education has it's place, and is
highly important. Organization Of
humane societies is practical and
forms a means Of permanently crys-
tallizing humane effort. Enforce
ment of the humane laws and the
enactment of humane legislation are
likewise important factors in this
work Yet with all these the aver
age citizen is not much familiar nor
much engaged.
There is, however, a distinct work
which every citizen Of Wisconsin
can do as the cold weather approach
es. Let each one see to it that his
animals are sheltered, both day and
night, and that they are sufficiently
fed and watered This includes not
only cattle, hogs and young stock,
but also the horse, dog, cat, the
chickens, and every other animal
and fowl entrusted to his care. To
leave stock or chickens exposed to
the cold, or horses out on cold nights
or tied without a blanket, or a dog
| in an unprotected kennel, or the cat
without shelter, causes suffering and
constitutes cruelty.
Let these thoughts be discussed
IN the school room, from the pulpit,
and in the home. Speak to your
neighbor if he is guilty, or else mott
fly the county or the State humane
officer. Let Wisconsin citizens see
that acts of cruelty are prevented
rather than merely talked about or
prosecuted. And let this prevention
of cruelty extend to all living crea-
lures. Surely, a people of high civ
ilization and broad Christianity can
do no less.

Gen. Lee a TeetOtaler

Gen. Robert E. Lee had halted his
army one day on the road to Appom-
attox, and with his staff had been in
vited to dinner at the home of a
jurist. Iced mint julep was the fav-
orite beverage of Virginia gentlemen
in those days, and when the staff and
guests had assembled just before
dinner was announced the glasses
were passed.
Gen. Lee was in conversation with
a young woman. He offered his
glass to her, after the old style, then
barely raised it to his lips and set it
down untasted. He took up and
drank instead a glass of water.
Looking around the room, where all
the men were drinking with relish,
he said:
do you know, I really believe the
glass of water refreshes the inner
man more than the julep."
Even his hosts famous liquor
could not tempt him. It was said
that bottle of brandy given to the
general before the war was returned
to the giver unopened after the sur
render, with the request that she
use it in some case of need.
At the dinner Gen. Lee took a cup
of coffee and added sugar and cream.
1t was especially fine Java, brought
in before the war, and his hostess
exclaimed: ooh, Gen. Lee! Do you
take cream in your after dinner cof-
fee?
II haven't tasted coffee for so long

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-01-23

Mir Frank Green of 435 State street, Bridgeport. as his friends know, has been on the sick list long time. He says:
 'tFor long time I have had an aggravated case of stomach trouble, in fact, have been unable to work at all. Soon after eating I would suffer severe pains and griping. I began to stop eating first one thing and then another which I found disagreed with me until found out that was starv- ing myself to death, because I knew that if I ate these things I would suffer with tortures of the damned immediately afterward. Therefore. not eating, I became weak and pale. One day I read in the Bridgeport paper of one of my friends who stated that he had been cured of stomach trouble exactly like my own by taking the new herbal medicine CINOT. I Immediately got a bottle. That was some weeks ago, and you would hardly think today that I was the sick, weak, miserable person. My friends noticed that I am getting bet ter and that will soon be able to work I eat anything that crave and i4 doesn't disagree with my stom- ach.[ The gas is gone. I am very ap- preciative and hope the statement of this case will help someone else who wants relief"
 CINOT is purely 6 vegetable, con- ta1n1ng no iron, mercury, potash or other harmful minerals. It acts on the vital organs in a prompt and pleasing fashion, relieving headaches, gastritis, biliousness and other trou- bles originating from the sluggish ac- tions of these organs

(By H. E. B1akeman)


 Secretary of the Home Building and

 A building and loan association is a mutual cooperative corporation chartered by the state, composed of men ard women who associate them selves together for the purpose of ac- cunn1ating savings, and using these savings for the building of homes or other purposes
 Is a building and loan association for those who wish to build homes exclusively
 No. It is a savings institution just as much as is any savings bank Money deposited with a building and loan association earns its proportion ate share Of the profits made by the association business. Money paid irl- to a building and loan association earns more than money paid into a savings bank and is just as secure. Many people use the building and loan association for savings only.
 Who controls a building and loan association?
 The shareholders of the association. The bylaws provide that no member shall have moro than one vote. no matter how many shares he may hold. It lis impossible for one or two men of big means to acquire control of a building and loan association. The business of the association is done bv the board of directors who are chos- en by all the shareholders. There is
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-01-23

but one salaried officer He handles the office detail All other officers and directors serve without pay.
 How can one become a member of the Home Building and Loan Asso- cfation?
