Should one wear wool, cotton or linen
next to the skin? Wool has its fanatics, to
whom discarding their flannel or merino
vest or drawers would seem like risking
their lives. But the opinion of physicians
has changed notably in recent years and
now many if not most of them favor cot
ton or linen next to the skin.
The reason is that wool absorbs perspi-
ration and retains it; it absorbs it with diff
ficulty at first, but surrenders it to the
surrounding air with even greater diff

We are all, of course, agreed as to the
duty of educating the young 50 as to fit
them for the increasing requirements and
competition of modern life But as to the
extent to which this should be carried in
early childhood there is, unfortunately, a
great discrepancy between educators and
those who as physicians have to deal in
disease with the consequences of the viola
ton of natures laws. The officialism of
the former is often supreme over medical
experience. But when children are over
worked into disease or death the physician
must raise his protesting voice.

We do not know whether or not the
health department has the authority to
placard house where such comparative
" harmless diseases as measles and
whooping cough are present, but we do
know that many parents believe that
the warning of the presence OF these
diseases which a plaeard would give
would do more than anything else to
stop their spread in the city. Hundreds
of children have been exposed to these
diseases during this last outbreak who
would not have been exposed had their
parents had any way of knowing that
this contagion was present where they
werc taking them. If the health de-
partment has any authority to put up a
warning sign it should do so II only

regard these diseases as at all danger

lieve that a siege of some or all of

Major Bromwell Will Have
Charge of the Government
Work in Chicago Dist.
CHICAGO PEOPLE ARE PEEvED

Ma. Charles S. Cromwell, United
States engineer, who has been in charge
of the Milwaukee district since 1909,
assumes the additional duties of the
Chicago district on Thursday, and will
thus become chief engineer officer Of
Lake Michigan for at least q year.
This change is made because of the
transfer of Maj. Thomas H. Rees, Chi
cage, to the army war college in Wash
ington, where he is to spend the next
year as an office student.
Although great pressure was brought
to bear against the removal of Maj.
Rees from Chicago, the plea of the
government was that the department
needs the best available men for detail
to the general staff in an emergency,
and the department places it's interests
paramount to any local interest It is
said that in order to be fitted for staff
work an officer must go through the
war college, and Maj. Rees, although
having been through the service schools
and an instructor at Fort Leavenworth,
has not had this special training.
1t is not known whether Maj. Rees
will be reassigned to the Chicago post
after his year at the war college, and
so Maj. Bromwell can not tell how long
he will be in charge Of the double work
Maj. Cromwell will keep the main of
fee of the department in Milwaukee,
but the force of each viii remain the
same and each will be distinct. The
major will spend most of his time in
Milwaukee, directing the work from
that point. He says that he probably
will be, required to spend day or
two week in Chicago. In his alb
sence from Chicago the work will be
under the charge of Assistant Engineer
Liliencranz
In addition to his duties of looking
after river and harbor improvements
in Wisconsin, Maj. Bromwell will now
take up the work on the Chicago river
and harbor, the Calumet, III, river and
harbor, and the Michigan City harbor.
81 can not tell how long ] will be
in charge of the double work, - said
Maj. Cromwell. cit all depends on
what is done with Maj. Rees. AT the
end Of his year in the war college he
may be reassigned to Chicago, in which
case my work would terminate at that
time. However, the department may
decide to make another permanent
appointment to the Chicago district
in a short time. / will go to Chicago
on Thursday and officially take charge
at that time y
Maj. Bromwell succeeded Mai. VIII

Mail Carriers Aid Civil War
Veterans in Getting Pen
sion Vouchers Signed
MOVE PROVES POPULAR ONE

Hereafter it will be unnecessary for
United States pensioners along the
rural mail lines to either come to the
city or secure the services Of Justice
of the peace or notary public to have
their vouchers made out. Through the
provisions of bill which has recently
become a law, all carriers in the ru-
raj mail service are empowered ito
execute vouchers for which they are
to receive the regulation fee of TWEEN
ty-fve cents.
In many counties throughout Wis
consin, and in fact in nearly every
state in the union, the county clerk
through an appropriation of the coun-
ty board, is empowered to make out
vouchers free for the old soldiers, and
soldiers widows, but as Kenosha
county has never seen fit to take such
a step, nothing is to be gained on the
part of the pensioners by coming to
town and the authority conferred upon
the mail carriers will prove an i'm
mense convenience.
Had to Travel Long Distances.
To facilitate the execution of pen
sion vouchers Congress passed law in
1894 empowering fourth class post-mas-
tiers to administer any and all oaths
required to be made by pensioners and
their witnesses in the execution of
pension vouchers.
Because by the establishment and ex-
tension of rural delivery, 1850 fourth
class postofices have been discontinued,
taking away from pensioners a con-
venient means of executing their
vouchers and in many instances they
now have to travel long distances for
the purpose of finding some person
authorized to execute vouchers.
Bill Recently Passed.
In order to afford relief to pen
sioners and in view of the fact that
rural routes extend into practically
every we'll settled community in the
United States, Representative Fassett
of New York introduced a bill con-
ferring the same authority upon rural
letter carriers as had been conferred
upon fourth-class postmasters. The
provisions of the bill were embodied
in their pension appropriation bill for
the present fiscal year which was an
proved June Is, 1910.

TO BOOST TIE WISCONSIN POSTS.
Commander of g. A. r. in Wisconsin
Wants to Appoint Recruiting Officers.

Francis A. Walsh, commander of the
department of Wisconsin, G. A. R. has
formulated a plan by which fourteen
recruiting officers will be appointed be-
fore November L to work among Civil
War veterans in the state.
The object of appointing such ofic-
ers is to restore posts which have be-
come weak and to induce veterans who
have withdrawn from the order to re-
turn, and those who never have been
members to join.
The plan is announced in connection
with general orders No. 3, just issued
from the department headquarters. The
orders give information regarding the
headquarters train which will leave
Milwaukee at eight O'Clock Sunday
morning, Sept, IS, for the national en-
campment in Atlantic City.

Every organization and society and
every man, woman and child in the
city now have an opportunity to con-
tribute to the fund for furnishing the
new hospital. 1t is to be hoped that
the response to the call for funds will
be prompt and liberal and that all
of the people of the city will avail
themselves of this opportunity to show
their appreciation of the untiring eff
forts Of the board of directors of the
association to provide a hospital in
which the city can take pride and
which will be equal to all of the de-
mands for accommodations made upon
it for years to come, by giving some
thing to the furnishing fund. The
building itself is as modern and up to-
date in every particular as science and
money could make it and with furnish
ings IN keeping the hospital will be
complete in every detail, one of the best
equipped institutions of its kind in
the country in every way. No gifts
to the fund will be too large and none
too small. This is purely local insti-
tuition and the people of the whole
city should feel certain response
bility for its support and progress.
That being the case the directors
would be more gratifed to receive a
hundred dollars from one hundred people
Of the city who could afford to give no
more than dollar, than an equal
amount from one person for general
response to this appeal for funds for
furnishing the building on the part of
the people of the city would show them
more clearly than anything else could
that all Of the people Of the city are
taking the interest they should in the
hospital association and in the work
that its board of directors is doing.
