COUNTRY CLEARLY AT FAULT
Provisions for Taking Care of Unfor-
tunate Tuberculosis Victims Are
All Too MeaGer.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis states that there are in the United
States at least 100000 consumptives
who are so poor that they cannot pay
for proper medical treatment in tuber-
cluosis sanitoria and hospitals. Some
of them can pay small amounts
week for their maintenance, but the
great majority of chem cannot pay any
thing. For this large class of pa
tents the entire country has provided
only 10000 beds for the free treatment
of tuberculosis. In Alabama, Arkan
sas, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Mon
tana, Nevada, North Dokota, Okla
homa, Oregon, Philippine islands,
South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West
Virginia and Wyoming there is no
place where the consumptive without
means can be treated but in the jails
or the insane asylums of these states,
and in most cases he will get no treat
ment there. Sixteen other states pro-
vide less than SO beds each for poor
consunptives. In only two states,
Massachusetts and New York, have
beds for needy tuberculosis patients
been provided, so that at least one
in ten may find place for treatment.
In many of the other states not one
in fifty of the destitute consumptives
can find a bed in a hospital or sana-
forum.

GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
Contentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
"The man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love of the job.

Praises State unIveraitx.

Speaking at Madison James r. Gar
field commended the University of
Wisconsin for the stand which 1t has
taken in the matter of conservation of
natural resources, referring to the
government forestry laboratorf which
is to be opened in January.
Mentioning the leadership q Presi-
dent Van Hise in the conservation
movement, he stated that it Was due
to his report that 100000 aces of
phosphate lands have been withdrawn
from general entry.
Outlining the work of the Roosevelt
administration, he characterized the
monopolization of natural resources
as fatal step, saying: "The Ameri-
can of the present, in planning for the
future, must learn to hold in sacred
trust these natural resources. His i'm
mediate problems are to stop forever
timber stealing, to safeguard the wa
ter sources, to withdraw government
coal lands from general entry, and to
advance the irrigation and reclama-
ton movements. rhe selfishness of
personal interests must be sacrificed
to the general veal 1t is no idealistic
or fanciful plea, but in its final analy-
sis 1T is business proposition pure
and simple, as well as a great m oral
obligation"

COUGHING BURST
VESSE Ell
Says Danger Avoided and Cures
Coughs in Hours.


Says Danger Avoided and Cures
Coughs in Hours.
A writer for the medical press
states that coughing is responsible
for the bursting of blood vessels
quite frequently. A cough or cold
means Inflammation (fever) and con-
gestion, and these in turn indicate
that the body is full of poisons and
waste matter. Simple relief, as found
in patent cough medicines, and whis-
key, often result in more harm than
good; as they cause more congestion.
A tonic-laxative cough syrup will
work marvels and here follows a pre-
scription which is becoming famous
for it's prompt relief and thorough
cures. 1t rids the system of the
cause, except it be consumption.
Don't wait for consumption to grasp
its victim, but begin this treatment,
which cures some in five hours. Mix
in bottle one-half ounce fluid wild
cherry bark, one ounce compound es-
sence cardiol and three ounces syrup
white pine compound. Take twenty
drops every half hour for four hours.
Then one-half to one teaspoonful
three or four times a day Give chill
dren less according to age.

ACCOUNTING ITCHING.
Eczema for a Year-Got No Relief
Even at Skin Hospital-In Despair
Until Cuticura Cured Him.

81 was troubled with a severe itch
ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles,
feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made
1t worse. Thousands Of small red PIN
pies formed and these caused intense
itching. I was advised to go to the
hospital for diseases Of the skin. I did
SO, the chief surgeon saying: Tnever
saw such bad case of eczema" But I
got little or no relief. Then I tried many
so-called remedies, but I became so
bad that I almost gave up in despair.
After suffering agonies for twelve
months, I was relieved of the almost
unbearab1e itching after two or three
applications of Cuticura Ointment. /
continued its use, combined with Cuti-
cura Soap and Pills, and was COM
pletely cured. Henry Searle, Little

Roomina House Inspection.

DR.. M. P. Ravenel, president Of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton and professor of bacteriology at
the university, will begin the inspec-
ton of boarding and rooming houses,
as authorized by the board of regents,
this week. From the statistics that
are obtained in the inspection sani-
tary chart showing the unhealthy por-
tions of the Latin quarter will be pre-
pared.
Two inspections of all general
boarding and rooming houses will be
made each year, and all fraternities
and sororities will be inspected annu-
ally.
Lists Of houses that have been in
spected will be prepared and distribut-
ed among the students. The addresses
of houses at which admission is re-
fused will also be published. 1t is
thought that in this way the spread
of disease will be prevented among
the students.

"Shorthorns" in Madison.

Fresh from their parents farms,
several hundred prospective students
in the short agricultural course ar
rived at Madison.
A new regulation of the faculty pro-
vides that no student In this course
shall use tobacco in any form on uni
versity grounds and forbids the use of
intoxicating liquors. This rule ap-
plies only to the "shorthorns," how
ever.
The course will open with an en-
rollment of 500 students, large in
crease over that of last year.
Considerable sport is made of the
"shorthorns" by the regular students
because of their unfamiliarity with
college customs. Twenty sturdy young
sons of the soil had their trunks taken
to the agricultural hall, expecting to
room there. This and many other in
cidents of the same kind caused the
local YIN. G. A. to establish a room
ing house agency, at which the stu
dents can be directed to rooming
houses.

Hszing Is Voted Down.

By unanimous vote, the freshmen
class ratified the action of the stu
dent conference committee in abolish
ing hazing. Their action is doubly
important for the men who voted will
be sophomores next fall, and upon
them will depend the effectiveness of
the new regulation. There was no
opposition. to the anti-hazing regula-
ton and it is obvious that in another
year hazing of freshmen at Wisconsin
will be but a memory.

VICTORIOUS TEAM WILL
b AIM At FORT DOUGLAS

More than thirty men are now at the
Fort Douglas training table in training
for the football eleven of the Fifteenth
infantry. Never before in the history of
the regiment have the officers and men
taken hold of the football question with
more spirit and the result predicts a for
midable eleven.
After holding the University of Utah
to II to 0 last year the soldiers feel that
this year, with more material and longer
training, they will win from ali Utah
teams.
In the lineup will be Lieutenant Geary,
Lieutenant HuddiesOn and Lieutenant Dix
on, each former West Point stars. The
officers are giving all possible time to
the coaching and training of the eleven,
and each is confident of victory. The
men who have made the training squad
have been relieved from other duty in
the morning and afternoon practice hours
and the regiment as a whole is out to
win. The game with the University, Oct,
80 promises much in the way of a draw
ing card and it is gradually becoming
recognized as one of the crucial games
of the year Coach Maddox is taking
no chances in the way of regarding it
as an easy game.
