WAGE WAR ON DISEASE,
Psychological Department of State
University to Make Systematic
Fight.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 7.-[Special]
A systematic campaign against I'M
healthy conditions in the university will
be made by the department of bacteriol-
ogy, according to the plans laid by DR..
M. 2. Ravenel head of the department.
In the fight for improved sanitary condi-
tons, DR.. Ravenel will be assisted by
the University of Wisconsin medical
board.
AS preliminary warfare against dis
ease, contracts have been let for the in
stallation of two vacuum cleaners in
Chadburn hall and the university gym
nasium. Within recent years there has
been considerable complaint about the
condition of the gymnasium and for that
reason the start will be made there.
Efforts will also be made to instruct
Madison people in hygiene by bringing
several well known speakers here during
the winter. Among these will be Will
liam 3. Welch, professor of pathology
at Johns Hopkins university; w. T..
Sedgwick, head of the Boston School of
Technology, and Prof. Benedict, who is
in charge of the Carnegie food labora-
tory at Boston.
Another innovation for the raising Of
the standards of health among the stu
dents is the appointment of proctors who
will have charge of certain university
buildings and who will report all cases
of sickness to Registrar Hiestand each
morning. They will also make an in
spection of the boarding houses where
they are allowed to do so and will pub
fish a list of the houses inspected for
the benefit of those desiring rooms.

TO BETTER THE FARM.
Commission on Country Life Meets in
Washington, D. c., and Begins
Unusual Work.

! WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Coon
veying a message of encouragement from
the President, whose guest he was last
night, Prof. L. H. Bailey Of Cornell uni
versity, chairman Of the commission on
country life, in an address today at the
first hearing of the commission at Col
lege Park, Md, disposed of an erroneous
impression that the body named by the
President is for the purpose of investi-
eating the farmer or for inquiring into
the technical methods of farming. On
the contrary, he asserted, the commits
sion's object is to make such inquiries
among the farm people as to determine
the economic, social, sanitary and educa-
tionaly status of the open country. Pres
ent at the hearing was a representative
gathering of farmers from all points Of
Maryland, in addition to groups of bust,
ness men, ministers, teachers, bankers
and others. State and county officials
also were well represented.

worth of the New York state assembly,
had a long conference with the Presi-
dent today, the New York senatorship

Iclared that President Roosevelt would
keep his hands off the senatorship mat
ter. Further than this neither Of the
visitors would talk.
Both Ward and Speaker Wadsworth
were noncommittal regarding the proba-
bility of Secretary Root being elected to
the United States Senate. They de-
clared that there were other candidates.
Secretary Root also was a caller at the

RAIL WAY DEPOT BURNS
Station at Mound Cemetery on New
Chicago & Milwaukee Road Totally
Destroyed by Fire.

RACINE, Wis, Nov. 7.-[SpeciaL j
At $40 o'clock this morning the hand
some new station of the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railroad company, To-
Gated at Mound Cemetery, was totally
destroyed by fire, involving a loss of
$4,000 to the railroad company and $4,000
to Harry Oelander, who had a conces-
sion stand in the building. The whole
loss is covered by insurance. The fire
started from the furnace.
Officials who came here this morning
stated that large new brick structure,
modern in every way, will be built in it's
place. The burning of the station does
not in any way interfere with the run
ming of the trains.
The fact that the affairs of the com
pany are in the hands of receiver will
not interfere with the rebuilding of a
new depot at once.
