LEGISLATION NOW SOUGHT
ANTI Tuberculosis Association
has Solid Backing of Public
as Shown by Magnificent
Christmas Seal Sale

Convinced by the mag nificent sale
of Christmas seals that the people
of Wisconsin are as a unit demand
ing that the crusade against tuber-
culosis progress without hindrance,
the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION is now seeking legislation
intended TO hasten the day when
Wisconsin shall be free from the
dread disease. The Legislative com
mittee is preparing to definitely
draw bill to be presented to the
Legislature, providing for numerous
reforms of immediate need
Approximately 3,250,000 Christ
mas seals were sold at a penny each
during the campaign last month,
adding large sum to the working
fund of the state society. The work
which was begun in 1909 and
brought to high state of efficiency
in 1910 will now be carried on with
even greater energy. The people
have shown that they want the great
movement to go on by purchasing
Christmas seals The seal cam
paign virtually was great voting
contest on the question, Shall
consumption be wiped out of Wis
consin?" Every person was given
an opportunity to cast an afirma-
tive ballot by buying a Christmas
seal. The result was a magnificent
affirmative vote of 3,250,000 In
proportion to population, this num-
Der means that more than one af-
frmative vote was cast by every
man, woman and child in the state.
1t is unanimous verdict.
The result of the prize competi-
tions based on the highest sale in
proportion TO population, will be
made known shortly after Jan. IA,
on which day all returns must be
in the hands of the association.
Sales reported after that day will
not be counted in determining the
winners.

DAIRYMEN'S MEETING

The farmers of ST. Croix county
and the adjacent county are chang
ing more and more from grain
farmers TO dairymen in order to re-
alize a larger income from their
farms, and at the same time build
up the soil for thu production of
larger crops.
In the vicinity of Roberts there
are quite a number of dairymen
who are especially progressive
They have decided that the best
stock and the best methods are
none to good for them They have
purchased some of the finest speci-
mems of the Guernsey breed.

Probably even middle-aged people

Probably even middle-aged people
of the day think the Christmas tree
has been common here for many,
many years; but in reality it is
hardly thirty years since we adopt
ed this feature of the day. Half a
century ago it was only foreigners
that made use of it, children of the
Americans knowing it only as a
pleasant myth, And England in
the second quarter of the last cen
fury considered the tree still a
German institution, as not yet fully
belonging to her; to-day the Eng
disappearing nations vie with the
Germans in love for the tree.

In many towns of this size wo-
mans clubs are numerous, and
while they are criticised by some,
they are certainly beneficial in
many ways. In small towns and
villages the club has been a special
providence to many weary mother
or to the woman of few early ad-
vantages and large aspirations. In
our great cities women's clubs have
been the first to institute social re-
forms and to call public attention
to crying evils.
