DOINGS THURSDAY
A Good Lecture

''The Causes and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis," was the subject of DR.. ].
NJ. Beffel of Milwaukee, who lectured
before a large audience in the High
school last evening. The lecture was
one of the best ever heard on a like
subject in this city and he kept his
audience interested from start to fin
ish. He was introduced by w. p.
Roseman, superintendent of schools,
and was not aided by stereopticon
views, but he nevertheless wildly por-
trayed the ravages of the white
plague and gave some very good ad-
vice as to the care that should be tax
en- TO prevent it's spread.
Dust was an important factor in the
spread of the disease germs and he
gave comparisons as to the number of
deaths in 100000 of men engaged in
the various trades and professions. Dr.
Beffel was thoroughly at home with
his subject and made a very strong
impression.
In this connection it might be well
to state that the tuberculosis exhibit
10 l1OW ctI I1C pupIAS 1lUl oil NASAC II
may be viewed each afternoon and
evening. There is no charge.
You have no more right to give con-
sumption to your neighbor than to
shoot bullet through his heart" was
| the statement made by DR.. Beffel.
Better cure tuberculosis before you
| have the disease rather than after,
was another statement made in the
course of the lecture. He clearly por-
| trayed the conditions existing today
| in the over-crowded and ill-ventilated
| Workshop Five hundred and thirty
marble workers out of every 100, 900
people die of this lingering disease.
Public control of health is necessary
and as soon as the local government
passes and enforces laws for the pro-
lection of the people in the commune
| ty, only then can the Wilfull offenders
be brought to account"
AS a supplement to the lecture, the
demonstration now here with the eX
| hibit will talk on the conditions now
existing in the state. At four o'clock
in the afternoon and at eight o'clock
in the evening he will give a talk on
tuberculosis, illustrating it by charts
| Saturday morning at II o'clock the
| demonstration will talk to farmers and
all others interested, on tuberculosis
among cattle and hogs.

After Another Factory

The Watertown Business Mems as
ISOLATION is ever alive to the needs Of
the city and is on the lookout for any
thing which will benefit it industrially
At present they have a proposition Oh
hand which if landed will add another
factory employing about forty men
Many small factories are better for a
city than one or two large ones which
is noticeable when bad luck or hard
times strikes the companies operating
them and they are shut down. 1t is
to be hoped the local association will
succeed in landing this latest indus
trial plant

The plumber, apparently, was not
much interested. for he filed his pipe

carried in his hand. over the top of

And now we come to the case of the
two drummers. These drummers
started to stroll up the street from
their hotel one Sunday evening, won
dering if it might be possible to find
entertainment in lid-on town.
They hadn't strolled far from the
hotel until they found themselves in
front of vaudeville house.
We'll, WELL" observed one of the
drummers, gleefully, heres just what
we're looking fora good show. Some
how I'd got it into my head that there
weren't any shows running here on
Sunday, but I'm glad l was mistaken.
This looks good to me-"
The other drummer said a show
would just about hit him, too. They
bought seats about half way down.
The orchestra was playing a fuzzy
waltz tune when they got seated that
neither of them had heard before
They're handing US out some brand
new stuff, anyway" remarked drum
mer No 1. They don't Just play
The Merry Widow waltz, like they do
in New York Wish I'd thought to get
a program when we came in, though,
to see what it is they're giving u.s."
Then the curtain went up and a lot
of people came out and began to sing.
Funny" observed drummer No. 2,
'but l can't understand word they
say. Queer thing about songs. A fell
low can't catch the words"
BY and by a comedian tripped in
and got off something. The audience
nearly hurt itself laughing.
But the drummers couldn't catch the
joke. And If there's anything that
makes a man sore it's to have a
crowd laughing at something he's
missed.
1--WE didn't get our seats far enough
to the front" complained one drum
mer, irritably. II couldn't get what

Oriental Silks.

Oriental silks have a way of coming
in on the market and meeting with
popular favor because of their genuine
oddity among fabrics. They are al.
ways sought by persons who look for
the exclusive patterns and this is
possible among oriental silks where
two patterns may be alike, but of diff
ferent colors. Tie trimmings for such
are plain silks. soutache and crochet
buttons. One of the dashing dresses
constructed of this material was a
brick red. with clouded effect. 1t was
trimmed with black-red grosgrair
silk and an edging of black soutache
in sawtooth fashion for bands. The
dress was very good example oil
what can be produced with a foreign
silk.
