MUST GO ELSEWHERE
No Available Homes to be Found in
Wausau-Something Should
be Done.

Wausau is growing so rapidly that
there is not an available home to be
had within its precincts. Homes have,
in some cases been sold, in which
tenants were living; at the end of
their lease no rooms could be found
and they had to leave. Several have
sold their homes thinking they could
find something in which to live; they
couldn't and had to go elsewhere.
People are coming to Wausau daily
with the intention of remaining. This
matter was taken up by our Chamber
of Commerce, but nothing came of it.
Why could not several hundred small
houses be constructed, in some way
and sell them outright. to be paid for
by monthly rentals.

AREN'T THEY OVERRIDING
1T?

During the war the American cit
liens were importuned to purchase
Liberty Loan BonC to the extent of
billions of dollars. Every drive was
''put over the top" Why? Because
our people are patriotic and under the
circumstances would give whatever
our country calls for
These patriotic citizens also gave to
the American Red Cross, Y. NJ C. A.,
K. OF c., Salvation Army, and other
bodies who were engaged in making
life pleasant for the soldier and to
soften If possible the terrible condi-
tions of war. All of this was met with
a cheerfulnes and with the proper
American spirit
Later, after the war, the various re-
ligious bodies said, "the people are
used to giving, lets raise money to ex-
pand our religions Sums all the
way from 81 100000 to $4,000 900
were raised for this purpose. A per-
son, by subscribing, helped along his
religion, and added stimulus to the
Christian religion.
Other million drives were asked for

each person was told what he must
give. The Near East Relief to help
the suffering Armenians, is being
worked very persistently. Each per-
son is being worked in many ways.
He is importuned on every hand to
put in his mite, whenever he attends
a public function; then he is asked to
donate literally to the offering of his
church and then as a sort of a climax
he is called upon by delegation to
care for one child for a month or
year. Let a person give what he can
but there is no cause to embarrass
him every time he steps into a COM
pany of a few friends isn't il for
worthy cause?" is asked. Why of
course it is, and it is but right that
our people should do what they can
for these sufferers, but many have OBJ
legations of their own which must be
attended TO and every siyer should be
the one to decide what to give and
that should be final. 1t makes one

Chronic CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never had a

produced by catharic. Most Of them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use Of mineral waters
and strong catharics that take too
much water out OF the system and ag-
gravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain Tablets affords a gentle
movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by
medicine. and their use Is not so

The Star thinks such an act would
be foolish. Cats is doing no more
to deserve impeachment now than he
has at any time during his term of Of

years and a half-unless he runs
amok we can put up with him another

them what infernal fools they can
make of themselves. and as probably
no one else could have impressed the
lesson on their minds he has been
worth all he has cost them.

worth preserving in your library-and
as many more as you can send to
friends who are or may become inter

publishing house has given them a
beautiful print Your familiarity with
your home town and county will be
ornamented by these pictures, and if
