l have always felt that much harm has been
done by calling tuberculosis contagious disease.
1t causes confusion in the lay mind, because the
popular conception Of a contagious disease is
connected with such diseases as scarlet fever and
smallpox, in which very limited contact may
result in infection. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed upon the fact that consumptlves are a

ADVANTAGE OF HAVING BROTHERS.
BY Marion r. Mowbray.

1t is an indsputable fact that the girl who
grows up with plenty of brothers has great
advantage in knowing and understanding men
when she arrives at years of discretion. What is
more important, such girl is much more COM
panionable to man. If young men exercise any
thought when choosing their sweethearts they
cannot do better than select girl with brothers.

with a farmer, with instructions chat
they would be called for. The thief,

OF For garslsss Dogs.

The fact that within c-r city are
many dogs that make the nlsat hideous
with their barking and bowling and
prove exceedingly trying tot the nervous
and sick, lady subscriber contributes
the following on the subject To teach
a dog not to bark would seem TO be as
impossible task as teaching child not
to cry or a boy not to talk loud. But
there is a case on record where dog
was so taught, though it took the trainer
three years to accomplish it. Then he
thought he had dog that differed from
all other dogs in the world but in this
he was mistaken, for there are at least
three varieties of dogs that never bark
the lion headed dog of Thibet, the shep-
erd dog Of Egypt and the Australian dog
These would be the right kind for pets.
SO that nervous people would not be dis
turbed at night The law in some coun-
tries is very severe on night barking
dogs In Japan, fol instance the owner
of one is liable to arrest and to penal
ty of one year work on the complaint
Of any one who has been disturbed by
the barking.

REcOeslzE THEIR COUNTRY NeIaHBORs
A Newspaper Review Of vlroGua-The Hub Talked
About BY Ia Crosse.

The La Crosse Chronicle of Sunday
contained al page devoted TO hastily
| prepared write-up of some of the princi
pal features of the city Of Viroqua, its
enterprises, personal mention, etc II
also contains illustrations of the court
| house and Jail. high school building,
| Hotel Fortney Bank of Viroqua, a Main
| street view, Rusk monument and MOnu-
ment Rock. Altogether it is q very
creditable review of the town and its
| characteristics. Its substance is simply
repetition of the local newspaper nota-
tions of past and present events and
progress, therefore we make no extracts
from the chapter except that in which
speculation is made with reference to
the benefits to be derived from La
Crosse connection by the projected
electric line On this score the Chroni-
Gle writer says;
The city of Viroqua is of more than
passing interest to La Crosse, and it's
people Just now, for within the twelfth
month, the Gateway city win have q
new heighbor, a fair, populous and en-
terprising town. Although it is but
thirty miles from La Crosse as the ar
row flies, one might have gone to Chicago
with Just as much celerity and much
more comfort than to make trip to the
county seat of Vernon, che of the pros
porous farming districts of this great
agricultural state of Wisconsin
Conditions viii soon be changed,
however, for the new electric railroad
the La Crosse IL Southeastern, assured
by the fact that dirt is now being
thrown, will bring the two cities within
an easy and delightful ride of each other
People of Viroqua are waiting for its
completition as anxiously as are the
residents of La Crosse
La Crosse will find its new neighbors
delightful people. They win find that
they are an industrious, conservative,
and well-to-do populace and when they
know them, they viii be sorry the ac-
quaintance did not take place sooner.
The friendly spirit which has existed SO
many years between the two cities, com
mercially and otherwise. should be
strengthened by the removal of the re-
straining bands-the poor train facilities.
In the past a man never went to Viro-
qua unless he had To- It Is better now.
TIE rail connections are somewhat i'm
proved. When the new electric road
starts, however, the residents of La
Crosse will be ANXIOUS to visit Viroqua,
and they will f&d themselves well re-
paid for the trip, which will be pleas
ant one going and coming and to which
will be added the attractiveness Of hos
pitable Viroqua,

The CENSOR is no condoner of crime.
1t believes, however, that Judge Fruit
was fully warranted in placing the bail
at such reasonable amount as not to
preclude the prisoner from gaining his lib
erty. There is no more probability that
Tippetts win attempt to escape the re-
sponsibility of his crime, whatever that
may be determined by impartial jury,
than tina. his attorneys will forget to
present their service bills. The insinu-
ations by sensational papers that there
is disposition to shield this man, is re-
fection on the coed citizenship of this
people and the just judge who makes it
possible for William T1ppetts to breathe
the free air and return to his usual avo-
cation as an industrious man This
horse-shedding of officers and court for
plain performance of duty is unjustifia
