half cup of butter (part butter and
part lard), one cup of raisins, one tea

At largely attended meeting of
the Waukesha County Historical soci-
ETY., held In the Congregational church,
it was unanimously voted to deed the
state site of the Cushing monument,
to be erected at Delafield, to the state.
According to lay, the state legislature
must first vote to accept the deed, and
in the meantime it will remain in es-
crew. 1t is probable that the monu-
ment will be erected next year The
question of who was to hold the deed

Start Sale of Red Cross Xmas Seals.
THE Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
association wants 1,400 local campaign
managers to take care of the sales of
Red Cross Christmas seals in the diff
ferent parts of the state" said Otto
f. Bradley, Milwaukee, Mr. Bradley is
campaign manager of the association
of Wisconsin.
This method is taken to raise
funds with which to fight the white
plague during the coming year and to
keep Wisconsin among the leading
states in the union. Last year we
had 1,169 managers in the state, but
we want more this year.
More and better care for chill
dren will be the slogan Of the cam
paign. 1t is maintained by authori-
ties that this is the solution Of the
problem expressed in the former bat
tie cry. Wipe consumption out Of Wis
consin. This is a most important
factor In the control of all other pre-
ventable diseases"
The opening date of the sale of these
seals this year has been fixed for
Thanksgiving, and it will continue till
Christmas. But one manager in each
locality is named, and he places the
seals with business men, organiza-
tons, schools, etc., for sale to the
public.
"The Christmas seal campaign has
the prestige and the contagious influ-
ence of being nation wide move
ment,' said Mr.. Bradley. There Is
something inspiring In falling in
line with the whole country, especially
in the Badger state, which has led
the country in making the highest per
capita sale in past years. The accom-
plishments of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis association during the last
year insures this support on the part
