Milwaukee. Wis. Feb.-Tu-
berculosis in rural districts is
being investigated by the Wis
consin Anti. Tub erculosis Associ-
alton, not only to show to what
extent the disease is prevalent
on the farm, but to show the
necessity of sanatoria in dis
tricts which have no large COM
munities,
The idea has been prevalent
that tuberculosis is a disease of
the cities; that rural districts
practically are free from it. 1t
is known, however: that fifteen
deaths occurred in one family on
a Wisconsin farm, and that an
other farmers family was en-
tirely wiped out by the disease.
In both instances due to ig-
norance, it was believed that the
disease was hereditary. and the
necessity of precautions, OF
methods of preventing the in
lection of normally healthy
members of the family was an
known.
Dunn county has been select.
ed for this rural survey, not
only because it is believed to be
a representative district, but be-
cause of the interest of it's in
habitants in the white plagus
fight and the posi- bilities of
assistance from the county train
ing school. The survey, which
is being conducted by Kathren
Godney. field secretary of the
association, has been under way
for nearly two weeks. 1t is ex
pected that it will be finished
early in March. More than 250
cases have been located in the
county.
Not only will accurate infor-
nation be had relative to the
ravages of consumption in rural
districts, but the Investigators
serve as valuable educational
agents, instructing patients and
their families as to proper care,
methods of cure and the neces-
sity of preventing the infection

times. She wished she might hear the
bell clang in the campanile, calling the
citizens of Florence into the Piazza
Sonora for one of those free fights
that in bygone days had strewn the
pavement with corpses. If she saw a

There are people who do queer
things, whose motive is unintelligible
to any one else. and often they are ig
norant Of it themselves. On the one
hand, Jeanette Louton had come un-

Florentine life; on the other, she was
American through and through. There
was bit Of spice in her makeup. Her
Italian suitOrs were so wrapped up In
the Importance of that past from
which they derived their own impor-
lance that when some ludicrous
thought concerning it came to them
from Jeanette they did not dream
that it could be interpreted save with
profound respect for the Viscontis or
the Strozzis Of old.
In Jeanette there must have been a
minging of currents. on the one hand
the medieval stream. on the other
that up to date American stream so
unintelligible to Europeans. At any
rate, she went back into mediaevalism
in remarkable fashion and returned
to the twentieth century very much
alarmed. The feudsao the GuelphS

The Duty of a Wife.

The family was divided upon only
one subject--the revised version of the
Bible. The husband preferred the new
version and his wife the old. AS a
rule however, family prayers were
read from the old version. One day.
says writer in the New York Even
ing Post, the head Of the house read
the chapter which concludes with
land the wife see that she reverence
her husband" After the exercise had
closed and the children had gone to
bed the husband quoted it, looking
meaningly at his wife.
LET us see what the revised version
says on that subject said she. Il
will follow the new teaching, to please
gou."
The revised version was produced,
and her chagrin may be imagined as
the man impressively read, "And let
the wife see that she fear her hus-

friend thrust his hand in the pocket

Of all the cranks, the
crankiestis the chronic pessi-
mist. He is always whining
like a half-starved dog with a
tin can tied to it's tail. When
the sky is beautifully clear.
he is positively certain that
every thing will dry up and
there will be scarcity. When
the gentle rain begins to fall
he laments and is afraid the
crops will be spoiled. He is
always expecting some great
calamity, misfortune of some
kind, or being laid up with
rheumatism. No matte how
rosy the apples look or how
juicy the pears he is afraid
that they are WOrmy at the
core and can't be kept until
Christmas. The country is
going to the bow-wows and
everybody is a dirty and dis
honest rascal. His own peace
full and progressive town is
alright, but he is convinced
that it will never improve so
very much. The high church
spire is a notable landmark,
but it might fall down
some day and do great
damage. He himself enjoys
excellent health at present,
but he is sure that he won't
live long-and he shouldn't.
The world would be much
happier without such cranky

The picture postal card is
one of the greatest fads of
our present age. 1t is a fad
that has it's advantages; at
least it can be made the
means of entertainment and in
formation. Of course the So
called birthday postal cards
with unnatural flowers and
grotesque pictures are not
only meaningless, but at
times foolish. Such cards
with all the gilt and satin are
not aesthetic, nor of interest.
But the postal cards contain
ing true pictures of land
scapes. sceneries and build
ings Of the places you have
visited are always of value
and interest in the future.
While you may be visiting
anywhere it would be wise
and helpful guide to purchase
picture post cards of the vari-
Gus points of interest. For
future reference make full
notes on each card, the time
of the visit and any interest
ing facts connected with it.
In this way you will have an
illustrated history Of your

Letter from w. A. Loveland
Minneapolis, Mimi.
Feb. Is, 1911.

Dear Sir:
[ am pleased to note
through the columns of your
issue of February 10th, that
at the farmers meeting held
in your town a few days ago
it was recommended to plant
the Washburn potato. No
doubt the farmers near Wash
burL will follow this advise;
they will receive a better
price in the open market.
The Washburn potato is a
smooth, good-sized, clean
looking potato. In my opln-
ion it will out-sell the Bur-
bank which is recognized as
one of the best sellers here IN
this market.
I believe the originator of
this potato should have some
credit for the labor and
patience in starting and ma
turing this special variety.
| If [ am not mistaken Louis
Layoy, who is now living on
Washington avenue in Big
CLOVIS Addition, is the one
who has spent several years
in growing and improving
this potato to as good If not
a superior variety to the best
known.
Mr.. Lavoy is an untiring
worker for the improvement
of not only the potato, but
the strawberry. He has
raised some of the finest
strawberries we have had the
pleasure of seeing from any
country.
There is another question
now before the citizens of
Bayfield, County in which the
farmers are the most interest
ed. That is the proposed bill
of Honorable VIM. Knight of
Bayfield,, amending the pre-
sent game law. The present
law relative to the rabbit and
deer, in my opinion, is a him
derance and detriment to the
settlement and Improvement
of your county. During the
deerhunting season [ arrange
my business to keep out of
the country. 1 have had
prospective land buyers and
settlers who have refused to
look at the land at this time
of the year. Our entire
country, counties, cities and
towns hire working and asking
for appropriations for the use
in lettering our sanitary con-
dition and for the building OF
scnitariums for afflicted
people; all for the health and
life of the human family.
Now as we are SO anxious to
save our lives from disease,
why not from the hands OF
the careless hunter.
If the citizens of Bayfield,
county decide to kill the bill
I would suggest that a law be
passed to prohibit the use, by
the hunter, of all guns ex-
cepting the ordinary shotgun.
Buck shot can be used in this
class of guns and the deer
killed, but a man one mile
distant will be a hard bird to
wing.
There are many farmers in
your county who have plant
ed out orchards not to be
barked by the rabbit, but for
the promising profit within a
few years. It costs money
to clear land and plant it to
orchard and the prosperous
businessmen, a successful
farmer, cannot understand
why the sportsmen OF Bay
field county should oppose a
measure such as Representa-
tive Knights, so valuable to
