Society in Fight Against
tuberculosis Asks Hard
Fight for Last Week
MILLION STAMPS TO Be SOLD

"We are in the midst of great
crusade against the white plague---the
minotaur. Of today, which demands in
the United States alone two victims
every minute and marks every seventh
grave with it's own CHASTITY sign This
terror must be stamped out and de-
stroyed.
"Will you not help to do this9
"We are trying to sell 5000 900
Wisconsin Christmas stamps by New
Year eve The bulk must obvious
ly be disposed of before Christmas day.
There remains only short time, and
only half of the total number has been
sold. If Wisconsin is to progress,
not recede, in this battle against con-
sumption, the entire number must be
disposed of.
"We ask your assistance to accom-
plish this. Will you do so in the clos
ing days of the campaign if you have
or have not not done SO before?
This appeal was sent broadcast to-
day by the executive committee of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tubereulosis Associa-
ton in an effort to arouse interest in
the sale of Christmas stamps. Cam
paign Manager Douglas says approx
mately 100000 have thus far been
sold, and like number is now in the
hands OF the $50 local campaign man
ayers. They have worked hard and
earnestly, but must have help
"Wisconsin reached it's mark last
year and attracted the notice of the
entire country said Mr. Douglas.
"This attention is still focused upon
us, for our neighbors are wondering if
we can again reach the mark set at
the scale of the 1909 campaign. Wis
consin is looked upon as state that
does things, and it would be giving
this state black eye if we were to
fail now. We need the hearty CO.
operation Of all people. This is their
fight, for tuberculosis is no respector
of persons.
"Christmas stamps are on sale
everywhere. The price is one cent
each, in bulk or in books of 10, 25,

FIND TOO MANY DELAYS
New System Will Make the Registry
of Letters and Packages Much More
Rapid and Save Money for the
Government.

A new system for registering letters
and packages may be installed by the
government at the Kenosha postoffice
and tests Of the new system now being
made appear to be most satisfactory to
the postoffice authorities. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has made many
changes in the systems so long in
vogue in the postoffice department. He
is seeking to install systems in all de-
partments especially in postofices
which will permit of work being done
more rapidly.
The objection to the present system
in which registered mail Of all kinds
is handled in Kenosha is that it is so
slow that many times people have to
wait several minutes about the registry
window, especially when several people
wished to have letters or parcels regis
tered. The present rule requires that
each person registering piece Of mail
is obliged to receive detailed receipt,
giving the name and address Of the
sender, the name and address Of the
person to whom it was sent and de-
scriptions for the purpose of identified
ton in case it was lost This is re-
CURED for every piece and many times
one person would have several articles
to be registered This naturally causes
congested condition about the win
dow.
By the new system which is being
tested in the large postof1ces, such as
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, ETC.,
this long wait is not necessary. In
fact the sending Of registered mail will
not require much more time than would
the placing of an ordinary postage
stamp on a letter.
The plen - simple. The registry
clerk has two duplicate coupons, one
in the nature Of receipt. A duph-
"oo0 h'iilD0A 10 Ploo0u oH edCH slip
The first slip is placed on the package
or letter while the duplicate slip ans
wers the purpose of receipt is given
to the sender after the name of the
registry clerk has been placed on it.
It is the work of but a moment to
register a letter under this system.
Postoffice officials can see no reason
why the plan will not work out far
more satisfactorily than the former
plan. After the patron leaves the
window the clerk makes a description
note of the package or letter in his
books for the purpose of Identification
so that no chances are taken.

Certain of the officials of the city
are addicted to the pernicious habit of
telling how much they love the dear
"peepul' and of their unalterable
determination to make their actions
conform to the law as laid down in
the statutes of the state and the ordi-
nances of the city and in that manner
consuming whole lot of the more or
less valuable time of the council. but
we have often wondered if they fool
anybody by their outbursts of oratory
Probably not. There are two old
adages or sayings that fit the case ex-
actly One is "Actions speak louder
than Words and the other "By their
fruits we shall know them.'' All
they have to do is to act or fail to
act and the people or most of them are
perfectly competent to judge them by
what they do not by what they say
The intelligent citizen is looking for
results not for conservation.

Post Office Inspectors After
Men Who Represent a
Foreign Lottery Go.
MUCH ADVERTISING RECEIVED

Postofice inspectors are of the belief
that the "Great State and Colonial
Lottery" which is supposed to have it's
chief Offices in Copenhagen and Ham
burg has agents in cities of this and
other states who are sending in lists
of names to the promoters and who in
turn are sending advertising matter to
the parties whose names are sent in.
The inspectors are seeking the agents
Of the lottery.
Large quantities of advertising mat
ter have been received by persons in
Chicago and other cities and it comes
indirectly from Copenhagen, but di-
rectly from London, and bears the let
ter head Banking Office P. War
man. whose address is given "Post-
Office Box No. IS, Copenhagen" It
announces that the "Great State and
Colonial Lottery" is authorized by the
German government, and guaranteed
by the whole property OF the state
In short time, it is announced,
$4,000 francs in gold are to be dis
tributed among its lucky ticket hold
ers. The grand prize is said to be
100000 francs.
The scheme is new one to the
postofice inspectors. From the liter
allure one would suppose that it does
business in the United States and on
the face Of it does the business direct
ly without agents. Nevertheless there
are surely agents in this country, be-
cause names are supplied the lottery.
While the postofice inspectors can
not get after the lottery promoters
themselves because they are out of the
| jurisdiction of the United States the
government will prosecute the agents
if they can be found

The patrons of the M. R. & K. cleo
trio road are willing to admit that the
station of the road is good of its kind
but they maintain that the kind is not
good enough. They think that the
patronage the road is getting from
this city entities them to better ac-
commodations than they have been re-
ceiving in the past and should the
officials of the company fail to agree
with them they propose to lay their
case before the state railroad commits
sion and see what view that body
takes of their contention. The sign
ers of the petition take the ground
that they are entitled to as good ac-
commodations as the company fur
nishes anywhere on the line and if
they can prove that this city furnishes
good percentage of the business of
the line the commission is quite likely
to hold with them.
