Raw Milk Dangers.

Spurred by the epidemic of foot and
mouth disease, | have given instruc-
tons that all milk consumed in my own
home shall heneeforth be boiled. This
was not do so much to the fear of this
particular disease, as to the growing
conviction that milk, quite as much as
meat, should be cooked.
1t is true that there are many physi-
clans of authority who hold that boil
ing destroys some quality in the milk
which seems to be essential. 1t may be
that scurvy in infants follows the pro-
longed feeding of boiled milk, although
this has not been absolutely proved. In
any case there is no such danger for
children whose food is varied by fruits,
vegetables and other articles of gen
eral diet.
Personally, l am quite convinced that
the danger of scurvy, even among
young infants, can be removed by a
daily allowance of a teaspoonful of or
ange juice. In view of the established
conviction of many able specialists,
however, | do not care to be at all dog
matte in an opinion | may have occa-
sion to change upon the presentation of
more positive aud overwhelming evil
dence than | have yet seen.
Upon the question of the likelihood
of milk carrying disease germs, how
ever, there is no controversy amongst
capable judges. First of all, there is
the danger of contracting disease from
an infected cow Even more, milk is
an ideal carrier of disease, furnishing
room and board to the germs during
their travel from one victim to new
one
Typhoid and scarlet fever particular
ly have been traced along milk route
so frequently that the trained health
officer considers this medium of spread
as soon as the number of cases of a
contagious disease becomes unusually
great. Frequently he is able TO dis
cover an infectious patient in the home
of the dealer or in the home of one of
the producing farmers. By absolute
quarantine and temporarily shutting
down on the distribution of the milk
the spread of such epidemics is in
stantly checked.
Until the public has erected safe
guards for all the people, it is neces-
essary for individuals to protect them
selves. While boiling milk may not be
IDEAL it renders it Safe from disease
germs Thorough Dissemination is eff
fective. The thoroughness, however,
is dependent upon the integrity of an
outsider, except when it is done at
home Butter and cheese should be
made from pasteuriZed cream and milk.
The public can hasten the day when all
will be so made by demanding and pur-
chasing only pasteurized milk products.

THE Fond du Lac Reporter calls at
tention to the temperance in the
public view of those timid university
professors who took to their cyclone
cellars during the prevalence OF the
progressive" madness. Now that the
elections have put Teddy into the "has-
been" class, and the Wisconsin contin-
gent has been most emphatically re-
buked for attempting to engraft pro-
gressive socialism onto our constitu-
ton, the political skies have cleared
wonderfully and the aforesaid timid
professors are coming to the front. DR..

With the settlement of Stark
against Schoenfeldt. without the of
fees of jury, the last of the jury
cases for trial at the October term of
the circuit court was disposed of, and
the jurors were dismissed for the term.
The expense of the present jury term
to Rock county is estimated between
81, 900 and $1,000, sum much less than
it would have cost if Judge Grimm had
not been disposed to urge settlement in
such large number of suits which
were scheduled for trial. 1t has been
the policy of Judge Grimm to eliminate
as far as possible the expense of a jury
in the circuit court, and at every term
he has succeeded in shortening the
amount of jury service to the benefit
of the county treasury and the taxpay-
ers. Gazette.

''THE Power of the Penny" might
we'll be the name of the six year re-
view of the fight in Wisconsin against
tuberculosis and other preventable dis
eases which has just been issued by the
Wisconsin Anti-TuberculosiS association
as a special issue of the CRUSADER. "
The review is an attractive, paper
bound book of 96 pages, profusely illus
trated from photographs representa-
tive of the various lines of health &C
tivity in Wisconsin made possible by
the pennies accruing annually from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals. In
looking over the review of the six
years work, the people of Wisconsin
may we'll take pride in what has been
accomplished as their work. The first
exhibit sent by the state to the Inter
national Congress on tuberculosis held
in Washington, d. c., in 1908, the eX-
hibit which played its part in calling
into being the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu
losis association, was financed by the
people of the state, and it is the people
of the state-men, women and children
who have financed the movement
ever since. Progress in this work has
been marked with definite accomplish
ments, such as the establishment of
many institutions, visiting nursing, a
complete program of health legislation,
and decided improvement in the gen
eral standard of personal hygiene. All
this work, this great campaign of edu-
cation, has been carried on entirely
from the sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals, a sale in which the penny of the
poor does as much for the state and in
dividual as the penny of the rich, for to
rich and poor alike the price is the
samoa penny for seal.

AMONG all its good works the Home
Rule league never has exhibited par
tisan bias nor sought Office or had a
selfish purpose. No organization ever
had more lofty ideals, none ever was
entitled to more universal commenda-
ton. If in advocating less oppressive
taxation and regulation, fewer needless
commissions, greater home rule, re-
ductiOn of the costly army of public
employees, and better government gen.
orally, this league is to be investigated
at the behest of defeated thimble-rig-
gers, at state eXpeDSe-alWayS more
eXpensel--the independent neWspap-
ers which plead the same cause, and
religious organizations, which urge the
best men and measures, also should
have their activities subjected to in
QUESTION. John Doe is a witless boob
to be engaged in such pursuit-tO
lend himself to a preposterous action
directed more at free speech than at
any other object But let the light
shineI If by reform" corrupt prac-
tees act, or any other kind of law,
pure decency in politics can be throt-
tied it is q good time to have that fact
revealed. In the meantime it is re-
spectfully suggested that the Home
Rule league proceed to perpetuate and
extend its wholesome activities. AL
ready taxes are down a bit, while con-
sternation reigns among superfiuous
boards, bureaus, commissions and in
quisitors; and for this desired result
the league justly may assume fair
measure of responsibility. But its
mission is only begun. Till the evils
consin idea," as represented in tax
waste and bureaucracy, is completely
obliterated it will need to keep ever
lastingly busy. Madison Democrat.

THE Milwaukee Journal states what
we must all know, that we are sorry
for the man who doesn't enjoy holidays.
He misses so much out of life that he
might as well have and apparently he
gets nothing in return, unless the cold
consolation that he is too mature and
philosophical to be moved by toys and
appetite. But we all know that the
pleasure of holidays changes. Glitter
and possessions and Sweetmeats take a
lower place; friendship is increasingly
the great treasure, and memory holds
no small part. Fortunate he who looks
back to childhood and youth and sees
through the golden haze of memory a
time when there were no care in life
and its delightful course was punctuat-
ed with special days that stand out as
glorious. No thoughts of indigestion
in that far back golden age married the
vision of turkey and pumpkin pie at
Thanksgiving; no reflection on their
transient satisfaction occurred to the
small boy or girl who dreamed of new
store of treasures that would be his on
Christmas morning. No question of
its high patriotism suggested itself to
the youth who wasted gunpowder on
the glorious Fourth. So ran the mirth
on all these days. And most of all, no
vision of faces forever absent made
the sunlight less bright or brought a
thought of sadness with the fragrance
of the Christmas candles. Who will
question the value of these memories?
The great DAYS of civilization were not
less great because of unrefecting joy.
Men do not go at mems work less will
ingly because boyhood was so different.
And in memory most of us will find our
best reminder to make the holidays
mean as much to other children as they
meant to us.

Change That is Gratifying.

A change for the better appears TO
be in prospect for the men interested
in the oil business in Oklahoma.
And indirectly such change will AFFECT
the industry in other sections of the
oil country. The flood of oil that has
threatened to demoralize market con-
ditlons Is subsiding The Gushing pro-
duction is decreasing and the opera
tors in that prolific pool are aiding
the natural decline by partial shut
down of drilling. Men engaged in
all branches of the oil business have
realized the danger that has threaten
ed the industry during the past six
months and concerted action has al
ready shown its beneficial results.
The recent experience of Oklahoma
producers is nothing new in oil his
tory. 1t is simply q repetition OF
