HEALTH ASSOCIATION BULLE1IE,

"Next year $500 persons in Wiscon-
sin will die from tuberculosis. Are
you taking measures which will prevent
the possibility of a member of your
family from being one of these VIC
tims?"
The following verses have been
printed on cards and are distributed in
the schools of New York to teach
the "Communicability of colds.'
Mary had a little cold,
That started in her head,
And everywhere that Mary went,
That cold was sure to spread.
1t followed her TO school one day,
(There wasn't any rules;
1t made the children cough and sneeze,
To have that cold in school.
The teacher tried to drive it out;
She tried hard. -kerchoo,

For teacher caught it oo,-Allen.
The first book in any language de-
voted to the subject of open air schools
is by Leonard C Ayers, A. NJ, Ph. d.,
just now published by Doubleday, Page
& Co. In ten chapters with siXty-siX
illustrations, it gives simple, straight
forward account of what open air
schools are, how they have developed,
how they are run and what they cost.
The first open air school was in Char
lottenburg. Germany: the notion was
adopted early and triumphantly in En-
gland; and so far is successful in
America.
Mrs Mary d. Bradford, superintend-
ent of schools, kenosha has just pub
lished a report of the lately founded
open air school in Kenosha. 1t has
eighteen pupils, is the first in Wiscon-
sin and the first in the west outside of
Chicago.
Experiments which have been con-
conducted recently, prove that typhoid
fever germs, tuberculosis, and perhaps
other diseases are distributed by flies.
living typhoid bacilli have been
found in hy's stomach six days after
they have sucked them in. The germs
were found in the specks for two days
after they were eateh by the fly.
''Public health is the foundation up
on which rests the happiness of the
people and the potter of the state.
Take the most beautiful kingdom, give
it intelligent and hborious citizens,
prosperous manufacs snrers, productive
agriculture let arts flourish, let archi-
tects cover the land with temples and
palaces; in order TO hlefend all these
riches, have first rate weapons, fleets
or torpedo boats, if the population re-
mains stationary, if it decreases yearly
in vigor and stature, the nation must
perish, and that is why consider that
the first duty of statesman is the
case of public health. '-Disraeli.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

On Wednesday of last week a party
from the city visited Manitowoc Ra-
pids, going by means of a row boat.
The crowd was made up Of Fred Hau-
kohl, A. Lade, John Dumke and the
actor, Wagner. Rapids boys tied a
large stone to the stern of the boat
and lashed board to the bow but both
were concealed under the water. 1t
was dark when the party set out on
their return and they pulled toward
home without making much progress.
They thought they were bewftched
spirit by prayer. But on "bend-
ing TO the oarn it was found that
Ladies prayer was Of no more avail
than those of the wicked Then Fred
swore little but this did not seem to
tighten the boat. Finally they con-
cluded to throw Dumke overheard but
he explained he was man Of family
and had no accident insurance and this
plan was abandoned. The actor ad-
dressed set speech to the god Of the
river, but he failed 10 hear. They
reached home at 4 in the morning
having spent the whole night in towing
the stone and pushing the board broad
side against the opposing water, and
are busy since in making dynamite
bombs with which TO blow up the
Rapids.

WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPERS say
If we had uttered sentiments like the
following. against Mr.. Lincoln, the
Pilot would be Immediately called a
secession paper, and an abolition fool
in Kossuth-the same who endeavOred
to have us publish slanderous article
against his own neighbor and country
man-would be found scribbling an
other communication for Tin Horns
Smut Machine, advising the mobbing
of our office. But as the article comes
from the New York Tribune-the head
and front of the Republican party--we
may be permitted to copy it without
incurring the displeasure of him, who,
last fall, in his political harangues
throughout the county, was in the
habit of calling Stephen A. Douglas a
"black hearted villain, traitor" and
other choice names. We give him
and other Republicans the benefit of
the opinion of Horace Greedy on the
administration, as follows:
"We congratulate the powers that be
at Washington on the rare virtue of
consistency, which is fguratively and
proverbially a ''jewel." Emory, the
secessionist and traitor, who had re-
signed, has been restored to an honor
able position in the army. How must
our brave and glorious privates de-
light in serving under such an officer.
They must experience a feeling akin
to that with which the Wings of the
revolution would have rushed TO the
leadership of Arnold just after the
execution of Andre. But this is only
in keeping with many other kindred
achievements Harvey still ilourishes,
in spite Of his admitted treason; the
departments are encumbered with
known secession clerks; Ross Winans
has i,oen permitted to letarn to his
treacherous and traitorous occupation
at Baltimore; and who knows but the
pirates recently captured on board the
first privateer may yet be organized
into petted body guard?"
"Your friends are already yours;
buy your enemies. Is not this a doc
trine for the present day?'

(BY C. w. MEISNEST.)
TEACHERS INSTITUTE,


The regular summer teachers insti-
tute will be held August 2l-25, in the
High School. Supt. S. b. Tobey CT
Wausau, Mr.. A. b. Stout of Madison
and Mr.. j. A. Book will be the con-
ductors. The superintendent will also
take some Of the work and try to help
the teachers as much as possible to
solve their local problems OF discipline,
teaching &c. Mr.. Stout will have
charge of Nature Study and Agricul-
ture. A short synopsis of his work
will be prepared shortly for the benefit
of the teachers. A special section will
be formed for those who are interested
in certain more advanced phases Of the
work. Special attention will be paid
to plant diseases. Work of this kind
will make it possible for some of the
young men to prepare themselves to
talk along some of these lines at our
Farmers Clubs next winter.
Mr. Book viii lagain take up penman-
ship, continuing the work of last
year. He will probably also do some
little work along the arithmetic or
rapid calculation line. The penman-
ship work last year was handled with
a system in most of our country
schools.
The work Mr.. Tobey will take has
not yet been determined, except that it
will consist mostly Of Upper and Mid
die Form work.
The week commencing August u is
the best week for our institute. The
main summer work is over, and teach
ers have the week following for their
own. Very few if any schools will be.
gin before September 5.
Vacation should be planned so that
every teacher can be present during
the entire five days of the institute.

BE Sure You Are
Right, Then GO Ahead''

The Agricultural college at
Fort Collins is conducting line
of experiments to determine how
far the water table on water
logged, seepage and alkaline
lands should be lowered to best
comport to the successful growing
of the various grain, vegetable
and forage crops of the state, the
object being that in the construc-
ton of drainage bitches to not
lower the water table more than
is necessary for each particular
crop which is to be grown on the
land to be drained. This will deter
mine the highest water table at
which alfalfa can be grown, as
well as all the various other agri-
cultural products.
This seems to us a very import
ant subject at the present time,
as it is a self evident fact that it
would be very foolish to lower
the water table six or more feet
when possibly two or three feet
might be all that is necessary in
some soils. 1t would be foolish
to remove needed water for the
mere fun of putting more on.
Again the cost of a great many
small covered drains would prob
ably be as cheap in the matter
OF construction as a few very
large and deep ones. Again there
will be considerable saving of
lands for ditch rights of way if
covered drains can be used, while
the best land will be that immedi-
ately over and adjoining the
drains.
Let us thoroughly investigate
the best system applicable to the
various kinds of soil and adopt
that which will prove most per-
manent and which will produce
the best results, even if the
first cost might be larger.

AUSTIN RANCH SOLD.

Mrs. R. A. Austin, accompanied
by her son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. Oldham, motored in
from the ranch Wednesday. They
left town for the return trip about
o'clock and near the ranch met a
messenger who said that Mrs.
Austin's presence was required in
Denver on matters connected with
the sale of the big ranch negotia-
tions for which have been pending
for more than a year. They turned
the machine toward Alamosa and
arrived there in plenty of time to
catch the evening train. 1t is
probable that the party of men
who were here last week will buy
the entire ranch which covers the
greater part of 10 or IL sections.
In case they do SO, it is their inten-
tion to put it all under cultivation
