witness this beautiful story of the

this attraction at the Illinois for Sat
urday, matinee and night.

The Lorenz brothers, the funmakers
and mesmerists, will during their en-
gagement here next week, take a
number of volunteers and give part of
them ride in an airship. They will
capture an airship, get into it's hold,
and sail away in the clouds. The Lor-
enz brothers carry special electrical
stage effects for producing realistic
storm clouds, lightning and peals of
thunder for this scene. The occu-
pants meet all sorts of adventures
and finally lightning strikes the air
ship and compels the aeronauts to de-
scend, and as they approach the earth,
they find that they will fall into the
sea.

by ConvaIescents.

Madison.-The newly discovered
method of preventing the spread of
dlphtheria 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 fif-
ty days IN persons apparently WE'LL
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-
valescent 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
