COMMUNION CUP
NOT PROHIBITED
Law Not Intended to Interfere
With Church Services.
"PUBLIC BUILDINGS" ARE Hit
Intention of the State Board of Health
Was to Stop the Use of the death
Cup" for Water Drink
ing Purposes.

Madison-The use of the common
communion cup in churches is not pro-
hibited by the new death cup rule
adopted by the state board of health,
according to DR.. G. A. Harper, secre-
tary Of the board
The secretary said that he did not
understand that the board meant to
include churches when it some days
ago extended the death cup" prohibit
ton so as to include public build
ings."
The rule will soon be officially pub
lished and then the attorney general
will be requested to determine
whether churches come within the
term public buildings" as used there
in.
The members of many churches in
Wisconsin using the common COM
munion cup have discussed the ques-
ton, but none of them has yet asked
the board of health about it. If the
question we're put up to the board, the
attorney general would at once be
asked for an opinion regarding it, Sec
rotary Harper said.
The intention of the board was sim
ply to prohibit the use Of the death
cup" for water drinking purposes in
public places. Since the new rule was
promulgated many congregations in
the state have adopted individual COM
munion cups.

Denies Fire Loss Has Been Reduced.
Amy claim that the fire loss
in this state has been reduced re-
Gently is absolutely without founda-
tion," is a statement made by Her
man L. Ekern, commissioner of in
surance, in the forty-second annual
report Of the state insurance depart
ment submitted to Governor Nc
Govern.
That a part of the excessive losses
paid last year, which, according to the
report, was $5,529,142.37, was due to
the extremely dry season and that the
element Of arson was not a large fac
tor are other points made.
The conclusion reached is that the
excessive loss is largely due to de-
fects in plans and construction and
perhaps in a large part to a lack of
recognition Of duty and of informa-
ton in regard to the prevention of
fires.
Following are the amounts paid by
each company licensed to transact
business in Wisconsin for taxes and
all other fees:
Wisconsin stock fire companies,
Sis, 740O4; Wisconsin mutual fire
companies, $1,100.10; stock fire com
panies of other states, $146,O52.36;

IMMIGRATION
PLAN GOOD
DIR. MOENCH ENGAGED By N. as.
R. R. TO TRAVEL over NORTH
ERN EUROPE
OTHERS ARE INTERESTED

The immigration proposition is,
working out nicely. Or. Moench, in
company with Mr.. Rice, of the Lan6
and Industrial Department of the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad Com
pany, was taken over the fine truck
ing section of that road and given
data to present to his European coun-
trymen
From thence he was taken to Nor
folk and in company with Mr.. Rice
and Mr.. w. w. Croxton, General Pas.
senger Agent of the road, he wsss
shown ever Norfolk and taken over
their lines to Virginia Beach and
Cape Henry.
Following a conference with the Of
ficials of the road, at which DR..
Moencn was employed to tour Ger
many and Northern Europe, he was
accompanied by Mr.. Rice to Balti-
more, where a conference was held
with Mr.. Shoemaker, President OF
the North German Lloyd line of
steamships, who will keep in touch
with DR.. Moench and transport the
emigrauts he secures.
We have letters before us from
both DR.. Moench and Mr.. Croxton
confirming the above and both write
enthusiastically of the proposition
DR.. Moench sends his love to the
he will ever hold in dearest and fond
est remembrance. He sails on ths
31st.
Mr.. Croxton writes: "Dr. Moench is
certainly a wonderful man. He pos
sesses a splendid personally and a
world of intelligence. We have ar.
ranged to accept his proposition for
a six weeks campaign in Europe and
I hae great hopes for results"
We have another letter before US
from Mr. Grosvenor Dave, Managing
Director of the Southern Commercial
Congress, an organization that is do
ing a great work for the South. Mr.,

my Dear Sir:
Yours of the 9th has only just
reached my hand, as l have been
away for five weeks, covering a num-
Der Of the broader interests of the

Southern States. 1 wish that it had
been possible for me to have gotten
in touch with Dr. Moench before he
started, since you say it is unquqes-
: the kind of immigration that will hurt
our civilization, then we have got to
go out and find the kind that will
help. The South must face this
problem. 1t cannot any longer re-
main Indifferent to the immigration
stream. I am personally glad that it
can not; for the South, as soon as 1t
recognizes that national problems are
it's own, will then come back rapidly
into national participation and I be-
lieve into national leadership. When
DR.. Moench returns hope he will be
able to stop off in Washington and
that we may become acquainted.
Kindly send me his European address,
that I may communicate with him.

in an orderly fashion, except for the
noise. Occasional instances of van

After that an attempt was made
to restore order when the rioting be-
came more general.
Notwithstanding the official signing

one small band of rebels under the
leadership of Candido Navarro last
night cut the national railroad south
of San Luis Potosi and another band

The only line operated out of
Mexico City is the inter-oceanic,
narrow gauge railroad extending to
Vera Cruz. The land wires, which
connect the capital with the cable at
Vera Cruz, have also been cut again
Just when Diaz will leave Mexico

The exercises at the Atlantic Chris

than ever interesting and portentious
for it marked an era of evolution, the
throwing off of the old incubus OF
debt and the emerging into another of
greater life activity and usefulness.
When the citizens of Wilson pre-

property worth $4,000, there was
bonded debt thereon Of $11, 600, which
was incurred in the erection of the
buildings and the establishment OF
the school under the direction OF
Prof Joseph Kinsey. Today that debt
of $11, 900 has been removed, due to
the untiring energy Of DR.. Caldwell
and the magnificent support of the
members Of the church and the
friends of the institution.
The discharge Of this debt was sig
nalized in a blaze Of glory and the
