STATE OFFICERS ELECTED
Convention at Milwaukee Chooses
Louis Mueller, Portage. as Presi-
dent Of Association for Ensuing
,Year-Meet Next at Madison.

Milwaukee.-Initial steps toward
having a mineral and metallurgy
building erected at the state fair
grounds were taken at the closing
meeting of the Wisconsin Retail
Granite and Marble association con-
vention. The import of such build
Ing was set out by the members and
a resolution sent to the governor
asking that he take action In the
matter.
The resolution recites that the
state possesses untold mineral and
stone resources and is already one of
the leading monumental granite pro-
ducing states in the union. and, in
order that deposits may be fully ex-
plored, 1t is necessary that the build
Ing be erected and permanent ex-
hibition Of specimens be maintained
to stimulate state wide interest.
The new officers of the association
are:
President-Louis Mueller, Portage.
First ice-president-H Blumen-
thai, Columbus.
Second vice-president = Herman
Lueloff, Sheboygan.
Third e-president-F. Lueck-
singer, Monroe.
Secretary-G. G. Kigler, Plymouth.
Treasurer = H. Schal. Stevens

The convention turned down a
proposition to meet with the Min
nesota organization at St. Cloud and
voted to go to Madison for the sum-
ner meeting. The liability law was
a topic for discussion at the session.

A NEW DIPHTHERIA SERUM
State Laboratory Proposes to Pre-.
vent Spread of the Disease
by ConvaIescents.

Madison.-The newly discovered
method of preventing the spread of
diphtheria by persons convalescing
from the disease is being introduced
into Wisconsin by the hygienic lab
oratory of the University Of Wiscon-
sin, which is about to furnish physi-
clans of the state the necessary germ
cultures, free of charge. The germ
frequently persists from thirty to if
ty days in persons apparently well,
and these persons, while not sick
themselves, can transmit the disease
to those with whom they come in
contact. Cases are on record where
the germ has been found for more
than year after the person had re-
covered from diphtheria. These con-
valesceht persons, together with
those who are known as "diphtheria
carriers" present a serious problem
to the health officer. The uniform
success of the germ culture treatment
in the prevention of the spread Of
diphtheria, since its discovery two
years ago, led DR.. M. P. Ravenel Of
the university hygienic laboratory to
decide to furnish the cultures to ply
sicians

Object Lesson.

A ramshackle building In Winston

with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated.
Fox days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour 1T destruction and giving rea-
