LEAVE NONE WITH TICKETS
Not Necessary fer Patrons of Wis
consin Railroads to Pay Their
Fares on Trains.

Milwaukee.-'We never start our
trains from any depot while tickets
are being purchased" said Charles
Thompson of the Chicago & North
western railway in reply to a query
as to whether train would depart
while a number of people were buy
ing tickets to take that train.
1T is and has been a rule of this
company for many years not to leave
passengers who are buying tickets
at stations Some people seem to
think that the only way they are sure
to get away on time, If they are late,
is by buying tickets on the train.
When they do that, under the law
which was passed by the last legis-
Iature, they must pay an additional
10 cents. The Northwestern, as we'll
as other railroads, never starts a
train from any depot until the con-
ductor has been assured by the ticket
seller that all who wished to go on
his particular train have purchased
tickets
So if a passenger is able to take a
train at all he will forfeit no chances
by taking time to buy a ticket.

DERFuL RECORD.
655 TREATED III FOUR YEARS
Since Opening of Institution. About

Madfson.-The benefits accom-
p1ished by the treatment of con-
sumption at the state tuberculosis
sanatorium at Wales are strikingly
illustrated in the report of that IN
stftution It 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 30,
1911, shows that 655 patients have
been treated, 95 of whom remained
less than one month. OF the $40 to
which the complete treatment has
been administered, 48 were received
during the fiscal year closing June
80, 1908; 307 for the fiscal years
1909-191O, and 215 from July l.,
1910, to September 20, 1911. OF

incipient sufferers; 368, or ga per

the disease was far advanced.
Of the patients received at the
sanatorium during the inciplent
stages, not one death has occurred
The report of Supt j w. Coon shows
that of the 112 incipient cases, 81, or
As per cent, have been discharged
apparently as cured. In twenty-slx
cases the disease had been arrested;
in twenty-nine the patient has been
improved, and in only six cases, or
per cent. of those suffering in the
first stages, have been unimproved.
The mortality of those received III
moderately advanced stages of the
disease is about 6 per cent. Oh 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 no
apparent improvement, and in 6 per
cent. death has resulted.
Out of the so 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

these together, of the $40 cases
treated, 90 patients, or 16 per cent,
have been discharged as cured; in
143 patients, or 25 per cent. the dis
ease has been arrested. In 1S6 cases,

that 106 cases received no benefit
from the treatment, and that in Z

THE MARRIAGE EVIL.

1.-THE Woman's Christian Temper
ance union of Kansas has done an ad-
mirable thing" says the Chicago Trib-
une, ''in raising the question of the
restriction of marriage. There is q
strong demand for restriction on di-
vorce, but very little discussion Of a
more fundamental evil. the i'll judged
marriage.
Restrictions by law are subject to
drawbacks, however, both in the case
Of more stringent divorce laws and in
that of restrictions to marriage. Both
tempt irregular relations or nonen-
forcement. Both evils must be met
chiefly by education. moral suasion,
and social discipline"
What is said here of marriage and
divorce is also true of all other re
forms. Good citizenship can not be
attained through restrictive laws alone.
Legal enactments may do something
along that line, but much more effec-
tive work can be done in the homes.
the schools. the churches and on the
lecture platform.
Those who are disposed to live and
act as they should need no other law
than their conscience. Those not so
disposed find numerous ways of de-
feating the ends of the most cleverly
devised or stringent legal enactments.
Laws are necessary to control a GER
tain element in society but they can
not be depended upon to do the whole
work. They are the final effort of the
public to unload it's responsibility onto
the shoulders of it's chosen officials.
