Many CoasumPtivs Cases in State.
There are about 100000 cor
sumptives in the United States and
10000 in Wisconsin was the startling
statement made by DR. Livingston
Ferrand of New York in an address at
the closing session CT the fourth an
nual meeting of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association in Madison.
These figures are almost one-third
larger than any authoritative esti-
mates that have ever been given out
heretofore.
Though we have never been able to
assert it. We have felt that this was
true for some time" said DR.. Ferrand.
Our only method of determining the
number of cases in the country at
large is by taking a ratio Of the re-
ported deaths This has been con-
servatively taken at five cases to
every death, but a thorough and com
prehensive survey recently made in
the city of Cleveland has shown be-
yOnd doubt that there are at least
eight eases of tuberculosis to every
death. The record have been SO com
plete that 80 per cent. of the deaths
have been registered cases.
DR.. Ferrand made a strong plea for
the careful registration of tubercu-
Iosis cases. pointing out the necessity
of visiting nurse supervision Of the
homes where they exist.
Carroll G. Pearse, superintendent OF
schools, Milwaukee, in the opening
talk. pointed out the need of the ex-
tension of play grounds, and urged
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation to emphasize this as strong
feature of their public health cam
paign Mrs Mary D. Bradford pointed
out the need of the open air schools
along with more play grounds.
DR.. J. w Coon, superintendent OF
the state tuberculosis sanatorium at
Wales, pointed out the failure of the
state to care for patients and to fur
nish them with employment until
physically strong enough to do or
binary work.
E NJ Griffith, state forester, out
lined the possibilities which the forest
reserves offered the cured con
sumptive for suitable occupation.

tice Robert G. Siebecker of the state
supreme court and Reuben G..
Thwaite, secretary of the State His
torfcal society, were the principal
speakers. Judge Siebecker said:
The part played by the early
judges materially aided conditions IA
vorable to the enactment of new laws
and promotive of the fortunes of the
people
Il rejoice that the power of the law
and this influence is not spent and
that they will operate today among
our people to maintain a respect for
government and the check to disdain
for law and order which breeds a
spirit for men to destroy their most
beneficial institutions. 1t helps to
keep before US the ideals of the work
ing out of the system of law which
will further our best interests and pro-
tect US in the things we cherish as
the most sacred in life"
Speaking on the topic Pioneer

Thwaites said that when Wisconsin

over to these islands in winter on a
sleigh or ''troika" Especially on a
fine moonlight night does this amuse-
ment attract a great number of pleas

hear many a joyous company making
merry and supping on these islands.
The tziganes or Bohemian musicians
sing and play, while the others dance
and drink. All night long until the
next day is in sight does the merry
making continue
The troika car is large sleigh
with four places drawn by three
horses. The middle horse is a trot-

produces a very exciting combination,
which is known in Italian as a fan
tasia." Of the four occupants of the
troika two sit on the front seat with
backs to the horses, while the two
others face them. All are warmly
protected by fur coats which cover up
their legs completely.
Horse races are among the many
amusements that are held on the
frozen Neva But at last comes the

ice becomes gray, and people are
then forbidden to cross. The ice be-

heard more or less continuously.
Then the cannon roars from the fort

to the people the annual breaking up
of the ice.
If the wind happens to blow from
the Baltic all the broken blocks OF
ice begin to jostle and scrape togeth-

fortress is the first person to cross
the river in a boat. When he reaches
the middle Of the Neva he fills a
golden goblet with the water and car

him surrounded by his officers on the
steps of the palace.
The car drinks the goblet of water
and returns 1t to the governor filed
with gold coins. For this reason it is
said that the goblet becomes larger
