OLD QUESTION TO THE FRONT
Just How Much Woman Should Spend
on Dress Seems as Much of
Puzzle as Ever.


A Partisan woman ran up bill in
one year amounting to $3.50 for
dresses and furs. Her husband was
sued. He stated that his fat cost him
$500 year. therefore credit to his
wife for over $4,000 was unreason-
able. The court decided that a mar
ried woman cannot spend in dress
more than the amount of the rent
paid for the joint home of husband
and wife without laying herself open
to charge OF extravaganza, and the
court reduced the bill to $500. (There
is saying that the rent should not
exceed one-fourth of the income)
The scene now opens in the court
OF chancery, Jersey City. Vice Chan
ceilor Garrison stated there that the
utmost extent to which a man could
be asked TO go in supplying his wife
with outer clothing" was as follows:
Suits, $40; coat, SIS; pair of shoes,
"a; one pair Of corsets. ST." ''It is
common, the court knows, for women
to spend SIS or 500 for a suit with
which to go to bridge parties and
cause their sisters to turn green with
envy. But it is no part of husbands
duty to provide means of causing 9TH
er women unhappiness.
Il have seen women in SIS coats
which looked fine on them There
isn't married man in the world who
doesn't know that for 81 corsets can
be bought which will set off a wom-
ans figure most engagingly." The
report Of that case includes the state
ment that Vice Chancellor Garrisons
wife is zone of the handsomest and
best dressed women of all Hudson
country"

PREVENTING TYPHOID.

People living in, or visiting COM
munities with uncertain supplies of
drinking water have an almost cer-
tain preventive of typhoid fever in
vaccination. Over $500 men in the
navy have been treated without I'M
favorable symptoms. Not single
one has since had typhoid. Nurses
and physicians brought in contact
with the disease receive protection
hitherto impossible.
Many cities having contaminated
water supplies now treat the water
With hypoclorites. An ingenious
method was demonstrated at the
recent meeting of the American Pub
lie Health association 10y means of
which IN individual may thus treat a
single glass of water. Small glass
tubes containing the light amount of
the disinfecting powder 10 render a
glass Of water safe can easily be
carried in the pocket.
By boiling water in the home, it is
not difficult to render it safe from
typhoid and other intestinal water
born diseases. A large covered pail
kept for this purpose makes cooling
economical of time and ice. Uncer-
tain milk should be pasteurized by
heating to 167 degrees Fahrenheit for
20 minutes.
Typhoid is a disease which can be
entirely wiped out in few months,
if the means at hand for doing so are
employed. In Wisconsin alone, this
would mean, on the average of the
last four years, yearly saving of 367
lives. For every death from typhoid
there are on an average of from 5 to s
sick with the disease. In some cpl
denies, the chance of life or death
amongst the Older patients is evenly
balanced. This gives an indication
how important is prevention.
The disease is most prevalent in the
autumn months. 1t behooyes every
adult citizen at this season to ex-
haust every means 10 avoid all recOg-
niZed possibilities of infection.

Y. N. C. A. RACE.

The race for memberships in the
I. Nj. G. A. has developed into very
spirited contest. Racine, the largest
city contending, stared off with a
list OF over 500, with Fond du Lac,
La Crosse and Eau Claire following
300 behind and Wausau trailing in the
rear with less than 100.
AS the days wore on through last
week, Wausau slowly but steadily
gained on all the leaders, turning in
more names at the end of each day
than any of the cities ahead. This
week will see a lot of work done by
the local teams and a whirlwind finish
on Saturday night October 18th. The
drivers of the local teams are keen
eyed for any opening that will send
their respective cars into the lead.
There will be many surprises sprung
this week. Waoch the automobiles
