APPROACHES Cause
TOWNSHIPS Trouble
DAWSON AND OWASsO GET TOO
STUBBORN FOR EVEN THE
COUNTY ATTORNEY.

Owasso and Dawson townships are
at war over the Improvement OF ap-
proaches Of a township bridge ana
the payment Of the cost Of said Inn
provements, They have called upon
County Attorney Pat Malloy for an
opinion In the matter, but action on
the part Of the county attorney has
failed 70 bring the two factions to-
gether.
The bridge crosses Bird Creek on
the Owasso- Dawson township line.
The bridge Is complete, but the ap-
proaches we're never filled In. Dow
son township wants the approaches
filled in and Owasso township Is not
so particular whether It Is done or
not. Therefore, tho Owasso township
representatives declare they will not
pay for the filling in Of the approach
on their side OF the bridge,
The county attorney contends that
the cost Of this work falls upon both
townships in as much as the struc-

GENIUS is ABSENT MINDED
Henri Poincars, the Famous French
Scientist, Annexes Stray Property
Without Knowing 81.

Henri POincare, the famous French
scientist, does not find It profitable to
work more than two hours at time.
His custom is to stay at his desk from
ten o'clock to noon and from FIVE to
seven o'clock In the afternoon, never
working in the evening after dinner.
He drinks vine at meals, but never
smokes. He goes to bed at ten o'clock
and rises at seven, but does not sleep
soundly.
He is a blonde, five feet five inches
In height and weighs 154 pounds His
head is unusually large. especially in
breadth. His eyes are myopic and m
steady. He stands stOopingly with his
Wrinkled forehead upturned.
He speaks somewhat slowly, with a
distraught air, as though he were
thinking Of something else. even
though he may be at the time interest
ed and keenly observant He speaks
English end German readily and
reads Latin and Italian He is fond Of
music. especially Wagner.
OF the absent mindedness that has
been characteristic Of him from
youth. many stories are told, says the
Independent. Like most mathemati-
clans, he is fond Of walking while
thinking, his fingers opening and clos
ing in an unconscious gesture. One
day on his return from a walk he
was surprised to find that he was
carrying a wicker cage, new and hap
PLY empty. He could not imagine how
he got it. but retracing his steps he
found upon the sidewalk the stock of
the basket maker whom he had limo
Gently despOiled
When as an engineering student he
made trip to Austria, his mother
was afraid he would drop his port
folio some time without noticing it.
SO, realizing, doubtless, that his mem
Dry was auditory she sewed little
bells on it.
The plan was successful. His moth
er found on his return that he had
brought back in his valise not only the
portfolio but also an Austrian bed
sheet neatly folded, which, some
morning. he had mistaken for his night
clothes.

TUBERCULOSIS SANETORIUmA AT
WALES HAS MADE A WON
DERFUL RECORD.
655 TREATED IN FOUR YEARS
Since Opening of Institution, About
IS Per Gent. of Total Number of
Patients Improved and As Per Gent
of lncipient Gases Were Cured.

Madison.-The benefits accom-
plished by the treatment of con
sumption at the state tuberculosis
sanatorium at Wales are strikingly
illustrated in the report of that in
stitution. 1t shows that about "A
per cent. of the patients treated in
all stages of the disease are improved
and that IS per cent. of the incipient
sufferers are discharged apparently
as cured.
Four years ago the sanatorium was
opened. The report of the period
from that date to September so,
1911, shows that 655 patients have
been treated, SIS OF whom remained
less than one month. Of the $40 to
which the complete treatment has
been administered, 40 We're received
during the fiscal year closing June
30, 1908; 3O7 for the fiscal years
1909-1910,. and 215 from July I,
1910, to September 20, 1911. Of
this $40, 113, or 20 per cent, were
incipient sufferers; 368, or 81 per
cent, were moderately advanced, and
in SO, or Is per cent. of the cases,
the disease was far advanced:
Of the patients received at the
sanatorium during the incipient
stages, not one death has occurred.
The report of Supt. J. w Coon shows
that of the 112 incipient cases, 81, or
Is per cent, have been discharged
apparently as cured In twenty-six
cases the disease had been arrested;
in twenty-nine the patient has been
improved, and in only six cases, or 5
per cent. of those suffering in the
first stages, have been unimproved.
The mortality of those received in
moderately advanced stages of the
disease is about per cent. Of the
368 moderately advanced cases
treated, 10 per cent. have apparently
been cured; 80 per cent. arrested, in
35 per cent. of improved; IT per
cent. of the cases there has been nc
apparent improvement. and in pei
cent. death has resulted.
Out of the 80 cases of patients
treated in far advanced stages of the
disease, only one patient has been
discharged as apparently cured.
There were six cases, however, in
which the disease was apparently ar
rested, rs were improved, 40 per
cent. were unimproved, and % per
cent. were fatal Classifying all
these together, of the $40 cases
treated, 80 patients, or 16 per cent.
have been discharged as cured; in
143 patients, or 25 per cent. the dis
ease has been arrested. In 1856 cases,
or 80 per cent, a marked improve
ment has been noticed as a result of
the treatment. The records show
that loo cases received no benefit
from the treatment, and that in
per cent, death resulted from the
disease.
