Scarlet Fever.

The State Board of Health is thor

increased prevalence of scarlet fever
in Wisconsin. Each year a heavy
tol5 in child life is eXacted while
thousands Of cases of illness from
this disease are recorded. The death
rate from scarlet fever in Wisconsin
is constantly higher than it is in the
registration area of United States
comprising 80 states and 27 cities.
In this respect scarlet fever has
achieved an unenviabIe distinction,
for the death rates of other trans

In order that children may be more

About Peanuts.

Government Weekly News Letter:
Peanuts are adrug. on the market
just now. That's because they are
not eaten largely in cold weather,
but with the coming of the robin,
which is a harbinger of spring, cir
cuses, and the opening of summer re-
sorts, peanut shippers look for in
creased consumption, which may
mean higher prices. In round fig
ures, 9OO,OOO,0OO pounds of peanuts
are grown in the United States every

Commercial Potatoes.

cars of potatoes, &c. 8 per cent of the
1920 crop, remained in the hands of
producers in Wisconsin, states JOS
eph A. Becker of the Wisconsin Co
operative Crop Reporting Service.
Because of the dull market and low
present prices, it is doubtful if all of
the $500 cars of Wisconsin pota-
toes will ever be marketed.

A study of Bulletin No. 3, issued
by the Wisconsin Tax Commission
shows that the average tax rate for
taxes collected in 1921 for schools
in the 1877 cities in Wisconsin was
.01014. The tax rate for schools
in Mineral Point was ..009O; less

verance had been closed. So the
news that Mrs. r. A. d. Cort Van

society woman. is to make her
debut only after months of hard
study is refreshing.
Mrs. Van der Linden is to star in

in a few weeks. To prepare her
self for the stage Mrs. Van der

err daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis

daughter of Mrs. Mary Jones, who
in her day was called Lady Jones"
and who travelled all over Europe

BY Edna Kent Forbes.

Pimples require special treat
ment in the way Of medicines or
foods to clear the system. The skin
will rid itself of a great deal OF
waste matter, but this daily face
treatment will help amazingly to
reduce coarse pores and clear out
blackheads, and to improve The
color of the skin.
Tie the hair back. Then wiring
an old soft towel from very hot
water, hold over the face for a
minute or two. Rub in quite a bit
of cleansing cream, working it well
into the pores Wash out with hot
water and mild soap--castile for
preference.
Rinse with hot water, then with
cold, then rub a piece of ice over
the face, or use an astringent.
Witch hazel is very good for the
skin. a few drops of Tincture of
Benzoin in water makes n milky
fluid that is standard astringent.
This treatment not only takes
off the dirt near the surface of the
skin, but gets down into the pores,
cleansing them thoroughly.
X. Y. 1.-THE Pilocarpine tonic
does not change the color of the
hair. 1t is tonic that acts on the
scalp in such way, that the nat
ural secretions are so stimulated,
the tendency to premature grey
ness is apt to be overcome.
A. NJ. M. M. .-Massage the flab.
by pouch under the brows, but do
not use any cream and be sure you
do not touch the eyes. Follow
this with an astringent to contract
the skin.
Anxious:-If you breath is i'm
pure, correct it by finding the
cause of it. 1t may be the teeth o.
the stomach, or even a tendency
to catarrh, any one of which will
undermine the health if not cared
for. A temporary relief may be
obtained by chewing a few gloves.
Anxious Reduce the fat on
your ankles by massaging them
daily, using strong solution OF

Light Blue Eyes;-If you send a.
