peaceful and inviting scene could not
be imagined than the warm, pleas
ant smelling green silage within.
With a few moments to spare, the
most natural thing for workmen to
do would be to sit down Or lie down
on the silage.
We dropped a guinea-pig within,
which, in thirty seconds, toppled over
unconscious. A rabbit was next
dropped down on the silage. 1t took
a few steps and dropped over on it's
side unconscious at the end of sixty
seconds. Next a large, slender collie
dog was lowered down and in just
two and three quarter minutes 1t
likewise fell over unconscious. The
Oncome of uncOnSclOuSnesS in all
cases was very sudden. The animals,
after Inconsistencies, rapidly turned
blush about the nose, lips, tongue
(and ears in the case of the rabblt).
The guinea-pig was dead in ten min
utes, the rabbit at the end of forty
two minutes, while the dog was re-
moved at the end of thirty three min
utes, when abdominal and chest
movements had ceased, although
drawing back of the corners of the
cheeks was still present. Within a
few minutes on the outside, the dog,
which had been let down by it's tail,
showed signs of reviving; at the end
Of six minutes it appeared partly
conscious, and thereafter rapidly re-
covered without any efforts of resus-
citation having been tried.
Another half-mongrel dog of med
ium size was dropped in, but unlike
the collie, which shifted around over
the surface of the silage, this dog
kept it's nose we'll elevated and
showed very few symptoms. At this
point one Of the investigators
jumped in and lowered his head to
the top of the silage. A most start
ling, rather pungnet, warm and
slightly alcoholic smelling gas caused
the Investigator to retreat hastily to
the open door above The lower door
Gust above the silage) was then
opened, through which the second in
vestigator detected the same gaseous
odor, which irritated the mucous
membranes and the throat consider
ably, and the effects of which could
be felt for fifteen or twenty min,
utes afterward.-From the Journal OF
American Medical Association.

FIELD SPORTS

When you keep a boy interested
in football, baseball, tennis, and the
like, you lessen the chances that he
will get interested in things not so
good for him.
The Youths Companion, since it's
enlargement, gives generous space to
this matter of athletic training, and
gets the best coaches in the country
to write for it,
How to practice to become a first
rate pitcher, how to train for a race,
how to learn the newest strokes in
swimming-these and a hundred 9th
err topics of the greatest interest to
boys-to girls, too, for that matter
are touched upon in this important
department of The Companion.
And this is only a small part of
the service which The Companion
renders in any home which it en-
tiers. 1t has points of contact with a
hundred interests.

FOUR CASES OF SUDDEN
DEATH IN A SILO


In view of the constantly increas-
ing Importance of the silo for the
preservation of fodder on the Amer
lean farm, it seems proper to draw
widespread attention to the danger
of fatal asphyxia which may occur
to workers n filling and emptying
record of fatalities under such cir
cumstances SO far as we have been
able to learn after a careful search
of the literature Agricultural bulle-
tins warn of the danger of carbon
dioxid asphyxia unless certain pre-
cautions are taken A sudden death
here and there has unquestlonably
been laid to heart failure, apoplexy
and the like.
Since the first American silo was
built by Dr. Manley Miles, in 1875,
the principle has undergone wide
spread development throughout the
country so that the dangers herein
cited are liable to beset a large num-
Der of persons. The danger from the
accumulation of heavy gases in the
old type of pit-silos dug in the
ground can be easily appreciated, but
the instance in question took place
about 40 feet high, and free from
surroundings which might interfere
with ventilation.
At the Athens (Ohio) State Hos
pital, at about o'clock on the morn
ing of Sept. 10, 1914, four members
of a squad of six men assembled the
ladder on the outside of the silO in
question to an open door about II
feet from the top, and jumped in,
one after the other, on the silage,
the level of which was about 6 feet
below the doorway. Within five min
utes as reported, the next two men
first four looked as though they were
dead. A large force of workers who
were at hand Immediately assembled
the silo, and opening a lower door
which was just above the level of
the silage, hurriedly removed the I'M
conscious forms, and in spite of the
| immediate arrival of four or five ply
sicians from the institution, all at
tempts at resuscitation failed.
The unfortunate ones, one of whom
was 81 years old, and the others S.,
| Sc and 67, were TRUSTEES" at the
institution, and all had been engaged
for several years on the institution
al farm, and had helped in filling 81
los for the past two or three years.
| During the two weeks previous they
had helped to fill two large wooden
silos nearby, and during the three
days previous has helped with the
filling of the metal silo in question.
| Their work was to tramp down the
ensilage as it was delivered from the
blowpipe. On this morning the ma
chine had not yet begun operations
and apparently the men sat doWn OF
lay down on the silage to wait, with
fatal results in a few minutes.
The next morning about O'Clock
wa visited the silo in question, where
conditions had been allowed to re
main as on the previous morning, ex
cept that before orders could be is
sued a couple of feet more of silage
had been added. The silage consist
ed of fresh, rather finely cut, imma
ture corn. Light within the silo was
good, owing to open doorways above
and in the roof. The temperature
seemed about 1OF. higher than that
of the atmosphere without. A more

HEALTH is WEALTH


| | wish that l knew and could give
you a formula by which everybody
could secure an abundance of health
without cost.
I wish that | knew of means OF
turning poverty into richness; DIRT
into cleanliness; darkness into light
7 wish there were a universally &C
cessible means of transforming ex-
cessiye heat into moderate GOODNESS
and bitter cold into gentle warmth,
accessible to all without money or
labor cost.
1t can't be done!
Takers of old, and perhaps some
honest investigators, sought the
philosophers stone by means OF
which base metals might be trans
muted into gold. Dreamers had Wis
ions of a spring or fountain through
which only the energy required to
battle would secure perpetual youth.
Moderns purchase gold bricks and
green goods seductively represented
to transmute small coins into fabu-
lous wealth.
Otherwise intelligent individuals
still persist in their efforts to Sc
cure wealth of health by penny
expenditure.
1t can't be done!
Somewhere or somehow you must
pay!
But the purchase need not be
through gold, silver and currency!
Cash is but a cheap and convenient
medium of exchange.
Have not the brains and energy OF
inventors transformed the energy OF
waste babbling brook into a
mighty, concentrated force to drive
machines and transform poverty in
to riches; dirt into cleanliness; dark
ness into light?
That sounds like a paradox, like
contradiction; but it is not. Some
one pays when he gathers waste
energy, harnesses it and works it.
BY the expenditure of brain and
muscle energy, and by the expendl-
ture of money, people have robbed
heat and cold of a large measure OF
their suffering, disease and death.
Inventive genius is making cleanli-
ness and light relatively cheap, and
the pauper of today enjoys luxurles
beyond the reach of kings of CEN
fury back.
There is enough energy and wealth
going to waste all about us to make
health common property.
A nation which can provide for
the education of every citizen can
and will provide for the health of
every citizen. Cities which can build
beautiful libraries, and dignified
churches, can build simple, clean
hospitals and dispensaries. If fire
and violence can be robbed of their
terrors by we'll trained, we'll equipped
firemen and policemen, avoldable
disease and death can be robbed OF
their terrors by a well equipped san
itary squad.
But someone must pay!

of Beaver Dam, has been awarded
$3.50 in prizes for grains entered at
the International Dry Farming Con-
gress and Exposition recently held
in Wichita, Kansas, at this contest
winning first and second premiums
ON wheat including sWeepstake;
two firsts on white and yellow oats,
including a second premium sweep
stake, and two first premiums of $3.50
each for the best two-rowed and six
rowed varieties of barley.
For eight successive years Mr..
Kruger has won worlds sweepstake

This is a handsome showing unap
preached by any other state. 1t is
also significant that acre for acre
Wisconsin out-produces the dry-far

does so consistently without the dis

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G.. w. MEISNEST.)

A British University professor who
has been delivering series of lectures
in American colleges, and incidentally
devoting much time to inspecting the
public schools, has spoken in high
praise of the American school system.
He is credited with making the dec
laration on his recent return to Eng
land that lin everything educational
the Americans are just bit ahead of
us, whether in good or evil. " The pop
ular interest that is taken in school
affairs in the United States he regards
as "a living force that counts" Com
menting on the predominance of wom-
en- teachers, he says he has nothing
but admiration for their work, although
he is inclined to think the kind Of dis
cipline maintained by woman is not
the most healthy type of discipline.
He would like wholesome strain of
austerity, 8 little more restraint"
The British educator characterizes
|hhoilS"h SSipoiS dS CnteTluI anu
bright places" and he was rather sur
prised at "the general good behavior
OF the American child.n In other re-
spects he saw much to admire and had
nothing but praise for the system as
system, all of which should be encour-
aging TO the friends of education in the
United States, some of whom are wont,
at times, to be little pessmistic as
to American progress.
The question of school Improvement
always is a live issue in this country,
and properly so. The American people
are given to free criticism of their
schools and school methods, and this,
perhaps, is about the best guarantee
that improvement will not languish.
The desire for betterment is general,
and, as the British educator has re-
marked, the popular interest is "a liv-
ing force that counts"
1t has not been long since an emf
nent German authority had something
to say about the excellence of the
American schools. Praise from such
sources is valuable testimony that pro-
gress is genuine and that the accom-
plishments of the past have been great
anC of lasting effect. No country,
however, can afford to rest on its edu-
cational achievements so long as it
must begin the education of millions Of
new pupils every year. The campaign
is perpetual.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The criminal calendar occupied
nearly all of last week.
The case of the state VS.. The Pea
Gamers Company for violation OF
the hours of labor law instigated by
the state Industrial Commission was
settled without trial.
The state VS.. Reinhardt Kroening
for alleged illegal use of "trammel''
fish net in branch of the Manitowoc
river last spring occupied a day and
half. The defendant and his sons con-
tradicted deputy game warden Egan
on the facts and the jury found him
''not guilty"
The case of the state vs.. Oliver Mott
was proceeding to fasten paternity
upon the defendant. The situation
arose near Larabee in Gibson. The
complaining witness was far from
bright and the state had work on this
account. The jury however found de-
fendant guilty. The defendant did
not take the stand. Later defendant
settled the matter and was discharged
from custody.
The case of the city VS.. Frank Ze-
man, Jr. for an alleged violation OF
the saloon II o'clock closing ordinance
wrs taken up Friday morning and oc-
a1 oil off
Christensen was the city's only wit
ness. The evidence was circumstan-
tial and the alleged sales after mid
night were denied by defendant, his
bartender Chadek and boarder nam
ed Duffey The jury were out nearly
20 hours and then told the court they
could not agree and were discharged.
The vote is said to have been 6 to 6 or
the first ballot. The validity of the
ordinance was challenged by defend
ant, mainly on account OF being "dis
criminatory" in favor of dance hal
bars. 1t will be tried again at the
june term.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. All were present
except the mayor whose absence was
probably due to the death of his moth
er that day, in reference to which a
resolution of coincidence was adopted. !.
A request from the East Wisconsin
Trustee Company for cancellation of
an Illegal income tax assessment of
$l08.46 was referred.
The water clerk and electric clerk
were each order, d to give $500 bond.
A resolution was adopted asking for
proposals for city hall site. No one
seems to take the city hall matter SER
iously.
The assignment of the electric light
company's indemnity insurance to the
city was approved. The city is thus
insured against damage from injuries
to its electric light employees.
John Schuette's annual gift of $1,000
for coal was divided between the two
aid societies.
The electric committee reported that
they are running the plant, are meet
ing weekly, have hired John Kelley
as clerk and asked that the council be-
gin to think of making some perma-
nent arrangement for management.
Fire Chief Kratz's annual report was
read. After the usual array Of statis-
tics he favored state fire insurance,
state, instead of local, inspections, and
showed by figures the great saving in
upkeep that could oe made by motor
izing the equipment.
He then quite outdid the police chief
in thanking everybody he could think
of. The report was "fled.'
A lengthy report from the state
railroad commission was read. 1t was
a discussion of the advisability of using
electric, gas or steam power in the
city pumping station.
Everything considered they favor
steam.
Health officer Staehle reported oral
ly on the diphtheria situation, saying
that there are now 8 cases and that
the recent deaths were due to not
getting anti-toxin treatment soon
enough. He answered criticisms oi
the quarantine BY saying that he is re-
quired TO obey the rules OF the state
board of health in that respect

kindly refrain from occupying the
crossing at Franklin and 14th streets

THIEVES ENTER TWO STORES.

Stores of two stationers were broken
into last Thursday night, the Fechter
store on south Sth street and the La
Cosse store on north Sth street. At
the Fechter store goods valued at near
iy $500 and a little cash was taken.
At the LaCosse store the loss was over
800, including $24 in cash. The bur-
glars appear to be specialists in foun-
tain pens. Raids, apparently for foun-
tain pens, have lately been made in
several neighboring cities. Entrance
to the LaCosse store was made through
the transom over the front door and
the techter place was entered through
a rear basement window. The police
have regular beats, pulling the boxes
at set times, thus atfording anyone, by
observation, Information as to when the
officer will visit any particular place.
For the down town section this system
seems to invite burglaries. Thus far
the police have no clue to the thieves.
