Fables On Health
THE VACATION LARDER.f (

When it came time for his vacation
to start Mr.. Mann of Anytown might
be found busily packing the family
f1ivver with tents and blankets and
cooking utensils and foods.
What to take for the vacation lard
er is always problem.
This depends largely upon the dis
lance of the camp site from some
handy store.
But a camper can always bank on
few old reliables; rice will take the
place of potatoes and is far more
easily carried. Dried lima beans are
also easily carried and many good
dishes can be made from them.
Dried fruits of all sorts are easily
carried; prunes, apricots and apples
being more generally favored.
A slab of bacon should keep with
but slight attention. Hardtack, rusks
or zweilback substitute for bread
Flap-jack flour is a general facorite
for breakfast; also goodly supply
of coffee or tea, timed milk and, if de-
sired, eggs and almost all vegetables
can be obtained in a dried condition.

Madison, Wis, - The joint health
campaign of the Indian bureau and
Wisconsin state, board of health, in
stituted month ago among the tribes
on Wisconsin reservations, will be re-
sumed Monday at Oneida, Outagamie

ditions, personal hygiene, disease and
other factors entering into the prob

usual success, according to Miss Mar

The police department is consider
ing new regulation of traffic that
will relegate all cars driven into Paris
for mere pleasure to the less con-

all regulations are disregarded. The
chauffeurs say that otherwise there
would be no possibility of moving

Speed regulations were forgotten long

use again when the new code of rules

Propose to Scatter
Farms i'm South

Madison. Wis. - Proposals to scat
ter cattle breeding farms run by Bad
ger farmers in Mississippi and other
parts of the south haye been made to
the state department of markets here.
Wisconsin Holsteins would be intro
duced in the old south in this manner
and promoters believe it would succeed
in putting Wisconsin dairy methods
and efficiency in the south where eff
forts of farmers in that section have
failed.
Previous efforts to establish strains
of northern dairy cattle in the south
have not succeeded because of inac-
quaintance with breeding methods used
in this section, according to A. Mordt,
representative of the Northern Mis-
sissippi Prairie Farmers Cooperative
association Mordt has negotiated
with leading breeders in Green county
regarding the proposal.
If preliminary negotiations succeed,
Mississippi plans to send special
train for 125 representatives Of south
ern cattlemen's organizations to Wis
consin next fall to look over the stu
alton. Wisconsin breeders, in turn,
will visit the farming territory known
as the "black dirt" section of Missis-
sippi. This section is particularly
suited to growing alfalfa and other
cattle food.
sour proposal would open new mar
ket for Wisconsin cattle, Mordt said.
st would be sure to continue for
years to come as other markets which
you have are cut off by reason Of COM
petition developing in the very places
to which you are now selling cattle.
The proposal is one Of mutual benefit.
1t will help our territory and it will
mean an outlet for your stock at good
prices.
eff Wisconsin breeders do not Jake
up on this-for we are allowing them
the first opportunity-we will have to
go out of the country for stock and set
up competition with the Badgers"

the flag for which he fought, for which he suf-
fered grievous wounds
Only little body OF his companions IN arms
can gather to pay the last tribute Of comrade-
ship to his memory but about that fag-draped
bier there should hover a public sentiment
which would declare that the deeds Of these
old men who wore the blue shall never be for
gotten. AS each one of them is carried out to
be laid away on the hillside of the pleasing
country they loved there should be a re-dedi-
cation of all of us to the great principles for
which they fought
Into our hearts should creep new deter
mination to be more kindly to the few of these
old men remaining and more thoughtful of
their comfort. It's only little thing to re-
member and it is splendid thing to respect
the things they did,
These old men tottering along with only
memories of the past to comfort them are not
looking for aims, They have born the battle
of peace as we'll as they bore the battle of war
but they are deserving of the most kindly re-
spect and honor that we can give to them. In
just a little while the last one of the members
of that Grand Army will be gathered to his
comrades and his fathers and the monument
suitable to each and all of them is one of re-
membrance erected in the hearts of a grateful
posterity, enjoying wonderful privileges Of
liberty which they fought to preserve.

MOonshining Better
Than Agriculture

Madison, Wis. The "moonshining"
gentry who have hitherto confined
their operations mostly to foreign dis
tricts of cities, have gone into business
on farms in some communities, accord
ing to Herman Satchjen, state prohibit
ton commissioner. In recent raids on
farms near Didgeille and Boscobel
three stills were found to rival almost
any of the city plants for the manu-
facture of illicit liquor, Satchjen said.
The booze was stored in 10-gallon and
15-gallon kegs and the farmers oper-
ating the plants declared their avoca-
ton was more profitable than agricul-
ture.

Electrical Fires
Show Big Decrease

Madison Electrical fire losses
have shofn a steady decrease since 1918
according to a statement of the state
industrial commission today. A peak
in fire losses due to defective electric
al equipment was reached in that year
the report declares, but safety first"
campaign and education in electrical
installation has lessened the loss
ratio.
Safety effosts of the electrical in
dustry are bearing fruit" the board
declares. "This is apparent from the
fact that there has been a marked and
consistant reduction in electrical fire
losses in, 1918, in spite of an increase
of 81 per cent in the use of electricity.
The Wisconsin electrical code, put
into effect jointly by the industrial
commission and the railroad commits
sion and adoption CT ordinances pro-
viding for inspection by larger NUM-
cipalities has gone far to eliminate
fire losses, according to the report.

MAKE THE PENALTY FIT THE oFFENsE

"A drunken man attacks police officer and
he is sent to jail for ten days. Well and good
he should have been. What's more he should
be forced to serve the time Respect for the
law and the men who enforce it is one of the
bulwarks of a free government. Men must be
taught that the law and the regular agents Of
the law are to be respected.
A man gets drunk and goes out and drives
an automobile and endangers the lives Of
scores if not hundreds of people. He should
also go to jail and at the same time there
should be provision by which he should be
barred from ever sitting at the wheel of an au-
tomobile again.
There is no more serious menace to the road
or the city street than man attempting to
drive an automobile when his brain is be-
fuddled with moonshine. His offense is one of
the most serious offenses against innocent peo-
pie and he should be punished with penalty
in keeping with the seriousness of his offense.
When drunken man attacks police officer
only one life is in danger but when drunken
driver starts weaving down a road hundreds
of people are in danger. The rest of the peo-
pie would not be expected to gamble against
the action of the drunken driver of an automo-
bile. It's a recklessness with human life and
personal property which should not be coun-
tenanced under the law.
The only way to keep drunken men away
from the wheels of automobiles is to make the
penalty for such thing strong enough to even
appeal to their drunken condition. Thirty
days in jail is a great soberer for even the most
drunken of men and thirty days in jail for a
drunken driver is a great protection for the
rights Of the rest of the people.

Paying citizens to leave country is
something new. The orient is over

Improved industrial and agricultural
methods and devices will never be able
to keep pace with the craving for still
better living standards.

Find Blade of Grass
Growing in Mans Eye

Gloucester, England.-Instead of al
lowing the grass to grow under his
feet, a farm laborer here allowed 1t
to grow in one of his eyes.
While working in the fields the
laborer got something in his eve which
he was unable to remove and as tn,
result of increasing pain, visited a
hospital. After examination of this
eye the surgeons decided to make an
incision and discovered green blade
of grass an inch and half long lay
ing between the tissues.
The grass had grown from seed
which was also removed from the eye.
The operation was declared successful
in every particular.
