5"The Haphag- Hartman steamers,

outcome Of the rate war the shipping
boards action will cause, II RI.
"The Transatlantic shipping pool,

obliged to protect their members

thus faced with overwhe lming opposi-

not belong to the pool. FIJI
\ Nevertheless, the .Haghag' is wor-

means al around, whatever the out
come, as happened in the recent
freight war between America on one
side and French and English lines on

TanIac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which the cele.
brated medicine Tanlac is made, come
from remote sections of the earth.
and are transported thousands OF
miles over land and sea to the great
Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio.
and Walkersyille, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees. Rus
sian Asia. Brazil, West Indies, Rocky
Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia, India.
Mexico, Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from which
the principal properties of this re-
markahle preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest phar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac,
which, according to recent reports, is
now having the largest sale of any
medicine of its kind in the world,
over 20,000,00O bottles having been
sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by series
of careful inspections by expert chem
lists from the time the roots, herbs,
barks and flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts Of the globe,
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled, labeled and shipped out
to tens of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States and
Canada, to supply a demand never
before equalled by this or any other
medicine.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere .-Advertisement.

The Pipe
And Easy Chair

In almost every home, there's one
place sacred to the head of the house
where he is accustomed to settle down
and take his comfort.
There is big, comfortable chair-a
Morris chair, or some sort of an uphol-
stored, shaped-to-his-fgure seat such
as used to be called an easy chair.
It's usually lodged near the fireplace.
At any rate, it's always stationed at
just about the most comfortable spot
in the house.
And right near at hand you newt
ably find-what?
Pipes and tobacco, don't you?
Men are likely to be just as COM
FORTHCOMING as they are Woodworking.
They know that rest is necessary to
renew their powers. They know that
after a pipeful and short rest in the
old easy chair, their minds work more
clearly; they can think things out that
baff1ed them no little during the pres
sure and confusion of the day. And SO
they take their comfort, wisely take it.

BLAINE BEATS
BUS MEASURE
Assembly Sustains Governors
Veto of Bill.
BACKED BY CAR COMPANIES
Hanson Measure, Which Gives Cities
Power to Establish Municipal
Milk Depots, Advanced in
the House.

Madison.-Gov. John +. Blaine's
veto Of the Perry bus bill was sus-
tanned in the assembly. Fifty votes
were cast in favor of overruling the
executive veto and SO against. 1t re-
CURES two-thirds vote to pass a bill
over the veto and efforts of the street
railway companies of the state to Sc
cure the passage of the bill failed.
Cities of the state may be given the
power to establish municipal milk de-
pots. The ]. C. Hanson bill on this
subject has been favorably advanced
in the house by large vote and there
is every indication that the measure
will be passed. For several years the
farmers of the state have been asking
for the passage of this measure, but
at previous sessions it has always
been defeated by close vote. In a
number of the cities of the state mu-
nicipal milk depots have been 'estab-
lished without authority of law. They
have worked so satisfactorily, how
ever, that Assemblyman j. G. Hanson
is asking the legislature to pass law
giving cities the right to establish
these enterprises. The house killed
the Pierson bill empowering Milwau-
kee to create city market.
BY vote of Sc to A, the house con-
Cured in the proposed constitutional
amendment to give the legislature
power to fix the salary of the COVER
nor. The present salary is fixed by
the constitution at $4,000.
The big financial bills will all be
considered in the legislature during
the present week. There are many in
dications that an effort will be made
ito reduce the appropriations for the
university. Although the joint finance
committee has issued statement
showing that the estimated receipts
and disbursements of state govern
ment are practically equal, there are
many members who believe that the
account is so close that the big in
come tax bill should not be killed.
Following are the disbursements au-
thorized by the finance committee and

ment during the coming two years:
