are intended to increase the tcrrors
of war by adding to the efficacy of
the means Of fighting. Perhaps an
exception should be made in favor of
an ear protector, tho invention of q
New York man, adapted for use by
those who are on duty in tho tur-
rets of battleships and those who are
stationed ut the coast Notifications.
Ordinarily tho blast Of big gun
has an effect upon the drum Of the
ear; it is at best unpleasant, and
sometimes it proves disastrous, as in
the instances Of men who have lost
their hearing. The ear protector is a
little ccluloid bulb so pierced that
it may be placed in the ear and pro-
srct ii from the noise and shock
while not interfering with the hear
ing. an advantage, of course, over
the crude method Of stufliing the ears
with cotton SO that nothing can be
heard and when orders can only be
appreciated by pantomimc.
Some of the other inventions which
have been favorably received may be
regarded as having tendency to en-
courage peace since they would in
trnducc into warfare factors Of de-
vaStation which would by their dia-
holical results promote international
disarmament. OF this class must be
considered those bomb dropping de-
vices which. it successful, would des-
troy whole armies; the inflammablc
pr".icctilc capable of burning up a
camp: the nitro"lyccrine missile; a
scheme for pouring burning sulphur
i1tn trenches, and kindred methods
of wholesale obliteration.
There is, too, the uusual proportion
Of armorcd ears, including the high
~ protected motor which shall pene-
tratc the encmy's lines and afford its
steel shielded occupants chance to
pick off The opposing marksmen and
Incidentally Strew high explosives
alon" Il death dealing route. One of
these .nrtlin" ears makes the famed
Ju"9crnaut look like a nursery toy.
One Of the conditions which seems
t" be fully met by incipicnt invcn-
ti"n is the use Of smoke for various
purposes. includn" that of a shield
which will permit approach upon an
enemy without his discovery of the
advance.
The country does not lack yet,
with all the cry for universal peace,
the means Of increasing the ravages
of war.

BIRDS AS SENTINELS.
Dangers of Methodist Circuit Rider
In Texas in Early
Days.

The Rev. w. j. Joyce, chaplain Of
the house of representatives Of the
state legislature, encountered many
hardShipS in the earlier days Of Texas,
when he was II circuit rider upon the
Frontier. In speaking of his expert
"nrcS he said the other day:

A School of Sanitation and Medicine
Needed at the University Of Wisconsin
From State Board of Health Bulletin


About fifteen years age there was
established at the University of Wis
consin in connection with the general
science courses premedical course
One of the objects of this course was
to give the prospective medical stud.
ents thorough training in those
branches OF science Fundamentally es.
sential to comprehensive under
standing of the science of medicine.
Many Wisconsin students nave
.avIilNd themselves of this special line
@, work and ms result the prenC Il.
cal department. of the university pas
taken on rapid and important
growth, Two years ago there was
added an anatomical laboratory which
enlarged materially the field covered
by the premedical work Any one
completing this course in connection
with The university was given one
years credit for his work In all Of me
leading medical colleges In the United
states, thus enabling the student to
complete his study of medicine IN a
regular medical college in three years
Since the adoption of this premedital
course by the university however.
many states have passed laws reauir.
ing that hereafter no one shall take
the examination to practice medicine
WITHIN their boundaries until such nor.
son has given proof that he has at,
tended some regular authorized meal,
cal school for a period of four years
or more.
Ihe adoption of these laws by tho
various states has worked hardship
ON the men taking the premcdlcaI
course in our state university mas,
much as such work was not counted
as one years work by the medical ex.
amintng boards Therefore, any one
completing a medical course In three
wears after the nremed.cal work would
not come under the law requirements
of the various states.
RMS means one of two things on
the part of the University of W7scc,-
sin, II either must recede ana do
away with the premodical work or.
ttelN' or 1t must advance and add en-,
other year to this promedical course
giving the students two years and hav-
ing their work come under the head
OF 4 medical college. This would ne
eessttate establishing at the univer.
s'ty of Wisconsin course in medicine
covering the first two years Of a four
years medical course
The scientific opportunities afforded
the student at the University Of Wis,
consin are uneXceled anywhere in The
United States and it would be an I'm.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-03-21

| pardonable mistake to take away from
the university that portion of its mcdi-
cal sciences which has been so We'll 10
veloped and which is giving such ex-
cellent results Great advances have
been made in the last fifteen or twenty
years along the lines of bacterology,
histology, pathology chemistry. etc.
and without a thorough knowledge of
these fundamental sciences. it is i'm.
possible for a medical man to be prop
erly equipped for the work before him.
1t Is desired, therefore, that the uni.
versity will be able to give the Young
men and women of Wisconsin the con
tinued advantages OF this scientific
training and that there will be estab-
lished two years course in medicine,
This will enable student of moder-
ate circumstances to take his first tWo
years in medicine at a small expense
A two years course in medicine takin"
up the scientific branches can be very
satisfactorily gwen and the remaining
two years can be taken in some maGi-
cal college located in larger cities
where the clinical advantages are
better.
1t is not contemplated that any ma
ter'al clinical work will be done
should two years course he estab.
lished The state hygiene laboratory
located at the university working In
conjunction with the state board of
health will offer special facilities along
the scientific lines so much needed bv
medical men,
In addition to the Importance IF The
two years medical course at the uni
vers,ty there could b, established a
school for health officers and sana
tarians of the state, This school could
be conducted along the lines now
given to certain branches of the agrl-
cultural department. and much good
could be obtained by having the health
officers of this state take a course Of
a few weeks in the special lines
mapped out for them.
Ihis one feature is also an extremely
important one and thorough
knowledge on the part Of the health
officers throughout the state concern
ing the elements of sanitation means
the saving Of many lives as we'll as
much suffering.
II is hoped that movement of this
kind may receive the support of every
individual who is interested in tae
welfare Of the state and that the uni
Nerstty Will be enabled to enlarge its
field of work along the lines so essen.

License Election for Milwaukee.
The opinion in the case Of Charles

of Milwaukee, handed down by Justice
Dodge, holds that the city clerk may
be compelled to call a special election
to determine the license fee for sa-
looms in that city. The defendant
contended that the law Of special cleo
tons for such purposes does not ap-
ply to Milwaukee and that the co,ln-
Gil had already fixed the license at
5000, Justice Dodge held that the law
is a general law, applicable to Milwau-
kee and that an imperative duty rests
upon the city clerk to call such a spe-
c.al election when the proper petitions
have been filed, and that mandanl.e
proceedings will lie for failure to do
so.

A Communication.
Editor Enterprise:

Editor Enterprise:
wish to make = statement through
the columns Of your paper regarding my
last years eantoloupe deal. II seems a
little late. but It has just come to my ears
that number OF people think got a
''pull' from the old association. and l
want to say this Is not true.
On account Of having extra fine melons
last year wanted 70 sell them for seed
and did not sign contract with any as
soeiation. Twas therefore at liberty to
do as liked with my crop. A certain
party offered mo 81 per crate for given
number Of crates and SO much . pound
for seed cut after that.
Now had always sold my melons to
Lyon q Coggins. 50 thought It no more
than right 70 give them the first chance
last year. Accordingly went to Mr..
Lyons and told him my offer. and no ae-
cspted Il Is above. The melons were
shipped thru tho association and Mr..
Lyon received all statements and money
the same as for any other shipper. no
alone paying mo. This was . perfectly
honest deal. 20 far as can see. and any
one else growing melons for the money
would make such u they got the chance
and thought they would profit by il.
I have never raised eantaloupss for my
nsighbers. nor do ask them who I shall
sell them to. ard u they vili kindly
look into the facts Of my business. in
stead Of believing all that Is told them
they will certainly have no cause for
complaint
make this statement more for Mr.
Lyons bsasht than nv own. viii say his
dealings with ne have always bssn per-
feetiy honest
I wish 70 say also that my father. S. S.
Bailey was not connected In any way
In my deal Of last year. but on the con-
trasy advised me not to make Il. Is he
believed would get more money 10 ship
As had always done.
