CHARTS SHOW GRAPHICALLY THE
RISE IN COST OF GOVERNMENT
IN STATE DURING PAST DECADE

roads. Through county agencies,
.$3,702,716.45 was expended in 1915,
and $500, 556.37 in 1920, includ-
ing public elementary and high
schools and county roads. State ex-
penditures, less those appearing in
the county and in the state institu-
tons expenditures. amounted to
81 ,457, 261.17 in 1915 and to 3d.
391, 337.S5 in 1920. State institu-
tons spent $6SS,S54,65 in 1915, and
$1,671,577.S0 in 1920. In incorpor-
ated cities, towns and villages the
expenditures for 1915 are estimated
to have been 100000 and for 1920,
$1,250,000. A five-year period has
been used for showing the figures
in this chart because there are no
data for the years previous.

levied upon property for all state,
county and municipal purposes for
each of the years 1910 to 1920 in
elusive. In 1910 the amount levied
was $3,400,000 and it grew to $l1,-
$50, 900 in 1920, an increase of
more than 200 per cent. The rapid
increase during the the last four
years Is especially to be noticed.

purposes mentioned increased at a

CHRISTMAS is NEAR;
KIDDIES ARE GOOD
EAGERNESS TO HELP MOTHER
AND DAD IS MANIFEST IN
EVERY HOME NOW.

This is the stuff dreams are made of
nowadays. At least the dreams of kid
dies are woven of such conglomera-
tons of toys.
In every home in these few weeks
preceding Christmas it is remarkable
how good the little boys and girls are
and what models Of propriety they
present. Eyes, ma'am" and Yessir"
to all the questions. Mamma, can |
wipe the dishes?" queries the little girl
who during eleven months of the year
is among the missing as soon as time
for that abhorred task comes around.
"Wouldn't you like to have me take
the ashes out, PAP" so speaks up the
Young son who is not remarkably at
tentive toward ashes save in those days
before Christmas when it is necessary
to placate the family into picking out
the right kind of presents.
In the minds of little girls, of course,
dolls of every size and shape become
entangled with the sandman'S calls.
Then there are the doll houses IN
which they live, which this year are
complete even to window shades that
can be rolled up and down.
For the boys, in addition to the us
ual mechanical and electrical contrlv-
ances and the drums and guns from
which young America refuses to be
disarmed, are the most natural collec-
ton of animals since Noah led his
troop into the ark The lions roar and
open carniverous mouths, the tigress
sinks along the floor and man eat
ing cannibal twists his mouth in ap-
probation of a fat boy feast as he
rides a giraffe with comforting neck.
The dolls in reality this year are as
wonderful as the dreams about them.
Added to this is the fact that they are
cheaper this year and better made than
they have been since the halcyon days
before the war.

GERMAN POWDER GIVES
GRAPE JUICE "KICK"
PUTS WELL-STOCKED WINE
CELLARS IN REACH OF ALL
AT THRILLING COST.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Federal Pro-
hibition Director E. c. Yellowley is
likely to throw up his hands in despair
when he comes into possession OF a
circular printed in Germany, now be-
ing distributed broadcast in New York
city and vicinity. If the offers made
in it are lived up to well stocked wine
cellars will be within reach OF all and
at trihing cost.
The circulars were distributed last
night to members of the National Re-
publican Club.
The advertisers say they have dis
covered the secret of concentrating the
vital elements of all wines and con-
verting these into non-alcoholic sub
stance. By a simple process" 1t IS
pointed out, the nOn-alcoholic material
may be converted into Joyous bev-
Ierage," which is the actual wine from
which the substance has been original
ly extracted.
One package of the invention, which
costs a dollar, the circular says, will
make two and a half gallons OF the
JOYOUS wine, and on the back OF the
document is wine list as comprehen-
sive as that formerly placed before
convivial souls at first class hostelries.
Madeira, Malaga, Moselle, Toka!y,
Sherry, Portal are included in the
generous offer of the manufacturers,
whose address is modestly withheld:
The wine is made by first dissolv-
ing the powders in small quantity, per
hitting this to ferment and later add
ing the full quantity of water, two and
half gallons, which is to boil and
boil and boil" In fact the recipe says
the longer it boils the better the wine
+ is.
! In conclusion, the circular says, the
wine is to be kept lying on its side
in pint or quart bottles from three. to
| twenty-five years-preferably the lat
ter" It is advised however, that since
the alcoholic content increases con
stantly it will be as we'll to stand 'em
up after a week or two as after three
months the content will be so high as
to exceed the bounds of good Judg-
ment"
The circular concludes with an IN
| junction that the instructions must be-
carefully followed, although they may
seem complicated. 1t is pointed out
that nothing worth while is obtained
without some degree of complication

Yield of Oats Increased by Lime Water

1t has been determined through re-
cent experiments just plain old-fash-
Toned lime water treatment will mate
rally increase the yield of oats. If be-
fore planting the seed is dipped in a
barrel containing a solution of one
pounds of well-slaked lime to ten gal
Ions of water not only will it produce
larger and healthier stalks but a great
er percentage of the seed will germi-
nate
All this was ascertained in peculiar
way. Oats are frequently afflicted with
smut" that dusty disease which de-
stroys the kernels and is such nuis-
ance at threshing time. In an effort to
eradicate the smut disease several seed
treatments have been used, of which
formaldehyde is the most successful.
Dip the seed in a solution of one pint
of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of wa
ter, and smut is eliminated. But the
trouble is that while the disease is pre-
vented the seed is SO injured in the
process as to offset this result. 1t will
not terminate as we'll as untreated

GUIDES Pepto-Mangan Builds Up
Vigor and Strength.

There are times when men and wo-

try to do too much or they lose sleep
or do not eat enough food that nour-

poisons clog it. Faces grow pale and
pasty looking. 1t is not long before

in the blood is overcome Guides Pep

Good blood, pure and free from pois-

seed. Experiments conducted in What
comb county, Wash, have solved the
difficulty.
Seed oats of half dozen varieties
were first put through the customary
fofmaldehyde mixture and allowed to
remain there five to eight minutes.
After being thoroughly drained they
were then placed in the lime water So
luton for a couple of minutes, and then
planted. Wide awake farmers carried
on the tests on their respective farms,
and the results which followed are
amazing. The seed given the straight
formaldehyde treatment made the
smallest growth The untreated seed
did better, but that which was dipped
in formaldehyde and then put through
the lime water solution not only turn
ed out a higher percentage of germi-
nation but produced taller stalks in the
field. The average percentage OF ger
mination for the untreated seed was
88.5. Straight formaldehyde treatment
cut the percentage Of termination
down to 1874, when treated with lime
water is rose to 89.7.

SOLD SELF INTO MARITAL
SLAVERY FOR EDUCATION.
RETURNS TO MAMA.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Mrs. James Ed

who sold herself into marital slavery"
six months ago in order to secure an
education, now tearfully admits she
got all the education she can assimi-
late for some time, and she is back
with mama. Also she maintains it
does not pay to advertise.
She advertised in a Joliet paper say
ing she was desirous OF college ed
ucation and to gain that end she would
marry the man who would furnish
$4,000 for that purpose.
Along came H. P. Yards, of Wauke-
gan, somewhat older than she is, but
possessed of the necessary $4,000 and
more. She accepted his offer and the
marriage date was set for November

expended about 81, 500 on his bride to
be.
Then appeared young James E. Mil
Ter. formerly a Chicago barber and a
dashing cavalier He staged a swift
courtship, brought the girl to Chicago
and married her Three days later he
lost his job and deserted her. Then
she went to Waukegan to see Yards,
who paid her hotel and other bills.
Miller, meanwhile, had scraped up
some new funds and he appeared and
claimed his bride, bringing her back
to Chicago. Yesterday the young cou-
pie found themselves broke and hun
