difference between sleep
ing and staring is simply
a matter of nerves .
When your nervous

your nerves are worn out

your rest is broken and
your awakening leaves

BILL rs

Madison. Wis, May 13.-Approval
III given the financial features of
the administration marketing bill by
the joint finance committee on
Thursday.
The measure was divided in two
sections by the committee before re-
porting the first dealing with the re-
vision of the marketing Law and the
second with the appropriation.
The full $174.000 requested by the
marketing director and already ap-
proved by the assembly, has been al
lowed. This is practically double the
appropriation OF last year, but re-
'quested because of the demand agri-
cultural cooperative associations
have made upon the marketing divi-
sion for help.
Action of the upper house remains
in doubt.
The finance committee also decided
to report for passage the teachers
retirement fund bill which would
levy a million dollars "a. ycar for a.
years upon the taxpayers of the state
by the Of a mill tax upon real
estate. r.
A contest on, the floor Is sure to
develop, members Say, as many leg
islators object to putting an extra
mill tax upon real estate at this time,
IA Il tax upon incomes has been
suggested.
