GOOD ADVICE WHICH
APPLIES TO THIS CITY

The coming of spring this year
brings with it a grave danger, which.
however, may be avoided if property
owners act promptly. When the
weather finally breaks up there will
be set free vast amount Of waste
material which has been accommodating
on top of the ground. The ground
has been frozen hard since early in
November. A large amount Of refuse
Of all kinds has been accommodating,
and when the first thaw occurs much
of the rubbish will find it's way TO the
surface. While the weather remains
cold this waste material remains
inoccuous. But as soon as the warm
sun and mild breezes come the
dormant bacteria which this rubbish
contains will become active and pro-
duce disease. Therefore, it behOOves
every householder to clean up his pre-
misses at the earliest possible mo
ment and thereby prevent the refuse
from doing harm. 1t has been years
since Superior has had such a long,
cold winter, and the amount of waste
material that has accumulated mus
be enormous. Yet in other years
when winters have been short and
open there has been enough rubbish
left on the surface OF the ground to
| produce marked menace.
The city should do its part in clean
| ing up. The street cleaning depart
ment should be given force Of men
| in the spring sufficient to clean all
the streets and alleys of the city
thoroughly and promptly. This is an
important matter and it is we'll to
consider it beforehand. Superior

The Logic Good.

EX-GOVERNOR w. ID. Hoard, or
Fort Atkinson, Charles f. IlSley and E.
P. Bacon of Milwaukee, Isaac Steven
son Of Mariuette, A. r. Hall of Knapp
and L. S. Ha nkS Of Madison, have
issued an appeal to the people asking
that delegates be elected to the
next Republican state convention
who are in sympathy with the reform
measures which the party declared for
in It's last two conventions and will
vote for the denomination Of r. N.
La Toilette for governor, the idea
being that this is necessary in order
TO bring to completion the demanded
work that has now but been brought
to the threshold Of success and must
there otherwise remain, Shivering,
with no Call to enter, until such
time as its enemies may gain the
power to kick it down the steps,
which will not be long with the fOst-
ering care of its friends withdrawn or
removed The logic is surely good.
AS the Banner has said before, MI. La
Toilette is the man, and the only man,
To stand at the helm and steer the
ship of reform safely into the port of
it's destination. The only reason he
has not done it before is because a
Stalwart senate has stood in the way.
There is now fair chance to remove
this blockade if the people will but re-
main firm, and we think they will if
the cid leaders will continue in the
lead We do not believe that any.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HENS.
Fowls ON CALIFORNIA; Ranches Report.
ed to Be AFFLICTED with Lung
Disease.

Now that his experiments with dis
eased fowls in California have demon
strated the fact that tuberculosis is ono
OF the most widely prevalent diseases in
the poultry ranches Of the state, DR..
Archibald r. Ward, veterinarian of the
University of California agriculture de-
part, is pursuing Investigations to dis
cover whether there is any relationship
between this and bovine or human tuber-
.culosis, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. Furthermore, the consideration OF
the possible significance of fowl tuber-
culosis has awakened the desire to know
whether or not the deadly organisms are
present in the egg. Both these points are
vitality important, and the animal indus
tries department in conjunction with the
recently established poultry experiment
station, will make careful study Of the
cases that are brought to their attention.
DR.. Ward, although just commenced
on these Investigations, has this to say
on the second point: TT appears to be
true that hens badly infected do not lay.
In the 30 post-mortems Of tuberculosis
hens that have come under the writer's
observation but one hen contained an
egg. The thorough cooking to which
poultry is subjected renders rather re-
mote the possible danger Of human in
lection by ingestion. Careful observa-
ton to determine if newly Matched
chicks suffer from tuberculosis will
throw light on the question of tubercle
bacilli in eggs"
Owing to the fact that tuberculosis
in fowls seldom kills sufficient number
Of birds at one time to excite fear, its
existence in flock has come to be re-
garded as a matter of course and has at
tracted little attention from the owners.
Under the conditions obtaining in the
poultry industry in California, DR.. Ward
says that all the individuals Of an In
fected flock must be regarded as possible
sources of danger of healthy birds. TAX
ing advantage OF the experience in the
control of tuberculosis in cattle, he says
that it will be easy to raise flock Of
healthy chickens, provided they are
kept constantly from contact with dis
eased birds or from land recently con-
taminated with tuberculous fowls. Since
the life of fowl is so short. he predicts
that such procedure would result in the
eradication of the disease in three or
four years.

A young man of Covington Ind. in

a social club which had been formed
years before that date. The last sur
wing member of the club had broken
the bottle of whisky that had been on
the banquet table at every anniversary

The incident, says the New York Her

was to be broken by the last member.

 ing Mills Speech.

New York. Sept. 2.-An investigation by the Associated Press discloses the tact that a number of serious errots were made in the report of Senator D. B. Hills speech at Deposit, N. Y., on August 20. It seems that a reporter or a local democratic paper, upon whom the Associated Press depended for a report, failed to attend the meeting, but instead invented a speech for Sen ator Hill, which contained several statements wholly misrepresentinS the senator's views and quite at va riance with his utterances.
 Among the phrases thus inserted as part of the speech was enc to the ef- feet that Senator Hill had charged President Roosevelt with being a fraud" Senator Hill said nothing of the kind. This correction is made without the knowledge of MT. Hill or any of his friends, but in tEe interest of the reputation for accuracy of the Associated Press service.
