State Leads in PhthIsis Fight.

Twenty-Five hundred persons die In
the state of Wisconsin every year
from tuberculosis, and in the United
States the death rate is one person
every three minutes. said Alvin G.
Refs, field lecturer for the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association. In an
address at the T. N. c. A. at Milwau.
kee.
I'm Milwaukee there are at present
1.544 registered cases of the white
plague. In Wisconsin there are more
than 10000, while in the United
States are more than 100000 victims.
Every fifth man who dies between the
ages of twenty-five and twenty-eight
succumbs from tuberculosis.
1T is the duty of the people to ed
ueate the public to protect the lives
OF their fellowmen the same as pro-
vision against loss from fire or bur.
glary is now provided for.
We think OF the Titanic disaster as
being appalling, but as matter of
fact the death rate from tuberculo-
sis is equal to that of the midocean
disaster every three days.
In telling of some of the conditions
found in making the rounds in Mil
waukee the last few days the speaker
stated that in South Milwaukee there
are conditions which are deplorable.

children is engaged in making mittens

The father died from tuberculosis.
When these little mittens are seen
on the counters of the stores people
will say they are bargains, but as a
matter of fact they are simply bar
gains In babies lives.
Since the organization Of the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
five years ago wonderful results have
been accomplished in the fight against
the white plague. Wisconsin now has
the third lowest death rate from this
disease of any state in the union. Mil
waukee has the lowest death rate OF
any city in the United States with a
population of more than 100000. There
are now II county sanitariums in the
state and more building, as compared
to FIVE years ago, when there were
none"
The speaker stated that the time
will come when persons guilty of per-
hitting children to live under condi-
tons as are common today viii be
treated as common murderers.
Special emphasis was laid on the
fact that material aid can be given
the battle against the dread disease
by the purchase of the Red Cross
stamps.

Upon this blasphemous parody

But the parody was more than he bar

rushed to the rescue, and little be

The door stood wide open. The
scuffie was plainly TO be seen from
the street, and two men. one in a tan
overcoat, were rushing across the
lawn, intent on taking a hand of their
own in the affair. Altogether it was
lively while ii lasted But it was
short.
AS the two men from outside dashed
up the steps the big door swung to
with a click, and Jones. who had
closed it, said, in his quiet way;
C. up. Get up, Don't you know
his voice? It's McAdam."
They scrambled to their feet 1t is

voice they could hardly have recog-

Fair Board to FIX Date.

Arguing that the holding Of the an
nuai state fair during the last week
In August would result in better race
attractions, larger exhibits and great
er attendance. Secretary James c. Nc
kenzio of the state board of agricul-
ture, upon his return from Chicago,
said he favored the earlier date. Mr..
kenzie attended the annual meeting
of the Western Fair and Exposition
assoc lon in that city.
A meeting of the board will be held
at Hotel Pfster in Milwaukee about
December 10, when the definite date
will be set. The board is not bound
by the action Of the association and
considerable discussion of various
dates is expected.
Late fairs. said Mr. Mckenzie, are
usually attended by racing men and
exhibitors who have been disappoint-
ed by failure to win at the earlier
fairs.

would have said. watching the festivf
ties in the drawing room.
There was a complex tiscle OF emo

He nad not asked Ursula which of
them was the successful one. AT the
time be hadn't cared But now he

winner. Whichever he was. he
looked exactly as the other must

"What?" shouted Reverend Arthur.

Whose ring is it she's wearing?"
demanded Jabez. One of you ought
to know

Again echo answered:

And then a sickening silence enveE
oped them. Jabez was merely puzzled.
but the hearts of Reverend Arthur and
Delaney were like lead In their bos-
oms. the lights were blurred in their
eyes and the knowledge of defeat took
for the time all the joy out of life.
Not one of the trio spoke, for there
was nothing morn to be said
In the drawing room the tide OF fun
was rising steadily Expectation stood
at tiptoe. 1t was nearly time for the
Christmas tree. For the moment the
leaders of the merriment had disap-
peared. Ursula and Jones we're no
where TO be seen.
Weren't they, though?
Suddenly Jabez laid compelling
hands on the other two They turned
and followed his look.
There were two figures in the dark
the almost dark recess at the far
end of the hall This was a children's
party. but these weren't children.
And then, in a moment, Reverend
Arthur and Mr. P. Wilmering Delan.
cey knew where Jones had hung the
mistletoe.

Wilmering.

that happened to be at hand. Il guess
we can change clothes in here" he
said.
Five minutes later Jones and Ur-
sula came upon the product of the
metamorphosis First they gasped
with establishment and then howled
with delight while the reverend gen.
tleman wriggled in sheepish embar-
rassment. But a few words sufflced
to make clear to them the situation
and then they jumped into the game
with will, adding touches here and
there to Reverend Arthur's pic
turesque if not handsome costume.
"But you need the wig to make you
complete" said Jones. Here it is"
Reverend Arthur had put his hand
to the pillow. He put on the wig.

E. McGovern addressed the state con
vention of the Society of Equity just
before adjournment in La Crosse
The governor said that farming con.
ditions in Wisconsin are unsatisfac-
tory. The average farmer has one
dollar day to show for his labor, he
said. after counting out maintenance
and interest charges, while the aver
age laborer in the city earns from
two to five dollars day. Everybody
who wants an eight.hour day knows
he cannot get 1t in the country, he
said, and it is not surprising that
there is a steadily increasing drift
from the country to the city.

w. Simon of Chicago, representing the

Aid society of Chicago.
