Sunday White Plague Day.

Governor McG0vern has set aside Sun
day, December as tuberculosis Sunday
recommending that on that day discus
siOns be held His message is as follows:
"The Anti-Tuberculo association Of
Wisconsin appeals to our people to de-
clare relentless war against the white
plague. Smallpox, diphtheria and yell
low fever have been all but completely
driven from the land, and il is believed
that BY effort tuberculosis also may be
banished.
Each one of us can help to prevent the
spread of this disease. knowledge of
existing facts cannot fail to cOavince
any intelligent person of the need for
Immediate and vigorous action.
For the special purpose of dissemin-
ating knowledge regarding the nature,
prevention and cure of tuberculosis, |,
Francis <. McGOyern, governor OF the
state of Wisconsin, hereby designate
and appoint the seventh day of Decem-
Der, 1913, as tuberculosis Sunday, and
earnestly recommend that provision be
made in every community for public
gatherings on that day for the purpose
of learning the nature of this disease
the means to be employed for the relief
of those under its blight, and especially
the precautions best calculated to pre-
vent its spread"

BOOST Gle
FOR MAYOR
Local Citizens Start Political rot
Simmering For the Spring
Election.

Considerable stir is being had during
the past week when local politicians
and their admirers began discussing
the mayOrality campaign Of next spring,
and there promises to 6e an interesting
election here although it is not expect
ed that the fight will be as rabbid as the
last election year and half ago. ID.
C. Gile, president of the Gile-Strauss-
Settle firm has considerable number Of
his friends gumshoeing for his nOmlna-
tion and it is expected that If nomin-
ated he will accept the nomination. Mr..
Gile is at present member Of the board
of education Of the Tenth ward and is
also president Of the WatertOwn Bnsi-
ness Mems association. He has been
especially capable and active in both OF
these offices demonstrating the fact that
he is man fit for any Office Of trust
and responsibility. He is man OF In
tegrity and sterliug character, highly
educated, and there is no doubt that he
will have many supporters who will rely
on his good judgment and executive
power. We feel that we cannot recon-
mend him too highly for the office know
ing him as we do and we predict that
he Will make one of the strongest runs
ever made by candidate for the office
Of mayor.
Independent in politics all factions
aud parties in the city can mite with
ont fear of partisan narrOwness upon his
candidacy. Asked what party he was
affiliated with he stated that mans
politics was best determined by the can
didates he has supported in the past.
Mr.. Gile has voted twice for Mr.. Bryan,
once for Mr.. Wilson and once for Mr..
Roosevelt. Thus while in national af-
fairs he has leaned toward the demo-
cratic party he claims to be an indie
pendent democrat. He is man OF
broad experience He has served fifteen
years in the capacity of city superin
tendent of schOOls-a position demand
ing executive ability and since has been
occupied in mercantile pursuits. Madl-
s1n is his native city and his education
was obtained in that place. He gradn-
ated from the State University In 1896.
Education, experience and general abil-
ity pick him as most desirable candi-
date for mayor Of WatertOwn.

Lack of information is responsible
for no end of the burdens humanity is
called upon to bear. Infinitely more
dangerous than want of information,
however, is the possession of great
fund of misinformation. Ignorence
keeps people from doing what ought to
be done, False information leads peo-
pie to do what ought to be left undone.
One OF the great forces which keeps
contagious diseases with us, is the false
notion that children are better off to
catch the various contagious diseases of
childhood, and have them over with. "
There are people who, with the best in
tentions in the world, still willfulIy ex-
pose their children to contagious dis
eases. These people are, in large meas
ure, responsible for keeping germ dis
eases alive. Disease germs are para
sites which feed upon human blood and
tissue. A few years starvation would
drive them out of existance.
So long as there is neighbor who
cultivates thistles, dandelions, ETC., i'll
his fields or lawn, it is well nigh i'm
possible for the careful, industrious
neighbor to secure the freedom he pays
for by his own care. Parents haye a
right to insist that their children be not
contaminated by a careless neighbor' S
children.

Carpets can be re-dyed very cheaply
Restoring faded cheeks with the dye
