UNIVERSITY AIDS IN
PREVENTING DISEASE
Extension Division Distributes Lnfor-
.mation About Modern Methods
of Stamping Out Infec.
tious Diseases.

Mr.. John Corbin, in his recent popu-
lar book on the universities of the
country, entitled (Which College for
the Boy" which was written before
the present medical college was es.
tablished, says of the University of
Wisconsin:
Though the University has no medi-
cal school, it is busy with the problem
of graduating unWholesome condi-
tons, and hopes within a decade yir-
tually to eliminate SUCH infectious
diseases as whooping-cough, measles.
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and typhoid
fever, and to make great headWay
even against tuberculosis. Unable to
provide clinics for the education of
doctors, owing to its situation In
small city, it is putting the PROFESSION
out of business by diminishing the
crop of disease"
This work of preventing disease
among the masses of the people would
not be possible except for the work
of the University Extension Division.
The University may have gathered all
the information necessary to the eX-
tinction or a disease, ana yet not
save a single life. or a days sickness
teaching the people to use the means
of prevention and cure.
Public Needs Information.
1t is not enough that some scientific
man should know how to prevent ty
phOid fever from securing human
victim. but the individual to be pro-
tected must also have this information,
and the community must know how
to guard him. and must also be inter
ested in guarding him from infection.
The dissemination of such informa-
ton is a primary purpose of the eX-
istence Of the Extension Division, and
it does this by using all the latest
methods employed by business men in
educating the public to the use Of their
wares.
Just one more step in the process
Of education is Indispensable. The peo-
pie must be interested to study these
methods, and to look to the University
for aid. In this work the support and
assistance of the newspaper press of
the state is essential 1t is also es-
sential that every public-Spirited citi-
zen who is anxious for the welfare OF
his community and of his fellows
should use every effort to make him
self acquainted with the methods and
work of the Extension Division, and
to advertise this work persistently
and wisely among his fellows No
other state in the union has made as
rapid progress in the last few years
along certain lines of political and
economic development as the state of
Wisconsin, and this tremendous adj
vance has been made possible by the
remarkable receptivity of its people,
and through organizations in promot-
ing the advancement of the state and
It's citizens.
This receptivity and progressiveness
must now be used to increase the eff
fectiveness of the University in its
external educational work, and the
University Extension Division con.
fdently appeals to this spirit in the
people to support the work and push
it to greater usefulness rapidly and
effectively.

NO ONE CARES TO UNDERTAKE

Senators Are Willing to Furnish Heat,
Light and Utensils, But Even
Then Il Will Not Pay.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Down in
the basement of the big marble office
building for senators there is a Won
derful collection of kitchen furniture
for which there has as yet been alb
solutelS no use. Thousands Of dollars
have been spent upon it but not so
much as steak has been broiled.
The whole plant is idle and likely to
remain so for long time.
The fact is that it is Impossible to
find anyone willing to undertake the
job of running the dining rooms and
kitchen. The latter is so big ana
planned on such an extensive scale
that it strikes the ordinary caterer
with awe. 1t would take an army of
cooks and solutions to run it at it's
full capacity. But the main reason
for the difficulty in securing anyone to
shoulder the contract is the financial
one. Would it pay? Those who have

Charles Webb Murphy of the Chicago

the hold-out catcher, regarding the
possible transfer of Killing to the Brook

from Chicago in which it was stated
that Murphy would be in Kansas City
today.
Sor some time such a deal has been
nending but King has stated emplat-
ically that there is not a chance loi
him to go to Brooklyn. However, there
;s a chance. King is the same as any
other ball player. He belongs TO the
