The legislative committee of the
state society is preparing a suitable
bill providing for care in the counties
of advanced cases of consumption.
At present the state provides for
early cases in the state sanatorium at
Wales. There is no provision for ad-
yanced cases, although from the
standpoint of the we'll individual,
who wants to be protected from iH-
fection, the care of the advanced case
is of infinitely greater Importance.
A single advanced case may spread
the disease to more persons than a
whole army of early or incipent cases.
The need for the care of advanced
cases makes it necessary to provide
numerous institutions where the
patient may be near friends and need
not undergo long, fatiguing journey
TO receive care. Aside from thus
preventing the spread of the disease,
many apparently hopeless patients are
known to recover when under present
unfayorable conditions. The county
institution would in many instances
prove eligible to later residence at
the sanatorium that the state has
established at Wales for the cure of
the disease. With more adequate
provision and proper regulation, a
much larger proportion of recoyeries
of unfavorable cases would be the
rule

A GOOD BUSINESS COLLEGE.

The Star Advocate is in receipt of a
letter from e. d. Widmer, proprietor
of the Wausau Business college, Wau-
sau, in which he states that he has
one of the largest schools of the kind
in IT, state. Mr.. Widmer is heavy
ne wspaper advertiser and as some of
his students are from this locality we
feel that our paper has done him
some good.
In his letter he states that several
of his students received positions dur
ing the past year ranging from $75 to
500 month. 1t seems to us that
more of our young people should profit
by the experience of those who have
attended his school.-Merrill Star Ad-

 A very conservative estimate of the number present at the Christmas en. tertainment in the church Monday evening was placed at 300. A care- ful revision would probably bring 1t nearer $50. So much for the regard in which this annual festival is held. | The entertainment this year was largely spectacular, recitations and minor parts being eliminated to con- siderable extent. The cantata, Santa | Claus First Visit to Japan," how ever, gave abundant opportunity for the exercise of all these talents for posing, acting, singing and speaking. Thomas A. Denman acted the part of | Santa with his usual ability and | mimicry. The oostuming was beyond harmonizing with the fur of the stage and auditorium. To Mrs. W. H.
