Anti-TubercuIosis Body to Report.

Anti tuberculosis Bo0y TO REPORT
The Wisconsin nti-Tuberculoisis
association will in the near future is
sue a report covering the work of the
association in the last five years.
"The public does not realize the
great results achieved in preventing
the spread of tuberculosis, said DR..
Hoyt E. Dearholt 1.-The forthcoming
report, which will have a circulation
of $4,000 and will contain 100 pages
will have undisputa BILE facts and valu-
able information concerning the asso-
ciation's work since it was organized.
"The death rate from tuberculosis In
Milwaukee is lower than in any other
CITY of 100000 or more persons. This
condition has been brought about
partly through the work OF associa-
ton.
Besides containing statistics, the
hook will have articles instructing the
nublic as to the best methods of pre-
venting tuberculosis and will give
valuable instructions regarding other
ailments. The association does not
confine its work to tuberculosis, but
deyotes much time to lettering the
conditions of infant mortality"
~The hardest task in the associa-
tons history" said DR.. Dearholt, was
to convince the public that tubercu-
losis can be avoided if the people
educate themselves along this line.
The biggest achievement was the es-
tablishment of the county institute at
Wauwatosa, which will be ready for
OCCUPANCY in eight months and which
will accommodate 500 patients. 1t will
ba the finest and most complete in
stitution of it's kind in the United
States"

(By FRANK G. MENKE)
Football has been lifted from a
game that lacked the spectacular to
a game that is filled with the spec
tacular by the almost universal adop-
ton this year Of the open style game.
In other years, when line-smashing
ruled, the game had few real thrills
for the spectators. They would see
the teams line up and then they would
see % men pile one on top of the
other. The same thing would be re-
peated time and again, with a varia-
ton now and then with an end run.
But there was no open playing. All
of the playing was done by a massed
crowd of players. Very often the
players were grouped together so
closely that the spectators could not
see the ball passed.
But this year, with lateral passes,
double passes, triple passes, forward
passes and other trick plays predomi-
mating, the game has been lifted to a
point where the spectators can see
nearly everything that is going on.
There is not prettier play, from the
spectators viewpoint, than triple
pass, and most of the big college

also for the most part the running at
tack within striking distance has been
estimated from the viewpoint of it's
final march rather from that of the
type of kicking which made this
march possible.
Open football, passing of all kinds,
does not mean the death of the kick
ing game by any means, and that
fact has been emphasized in recent
games. The punting game insures a
lack of waste effort that is not pres
ent when there is determined effort
to drive down the field. The game
as it is played today is not as long as
it used to be. Although the minutes
Of serious action are few and far be-
tween, there is wear and tear that is
due in most cases to the attitude of
eternal vigilance.
Watching the other fellow success
fully has become increasingly difficult.
More generally than ever before the
opinion has gained ground that the
best thing to do is to hand the other
player the ball on the slightest prov
ocation. Continual passing places the
defensive eleven on the alert at all
times, and it is this mental strain
which tires the players as much as
their physical efforts.

DOCTOR KNEW
Had Tried 1t Himself.

The doctor who has tried Postum
knows that it is an easy, certain, and
pleasant way out of the coffee habit
and ali of the ais following and he
prescribes it for his patients as did a
physician of Prospertown, N. ].
One of his patients says:
During the summer just past suf-
the pit of my stomach and dizzy feel
ings in my head and then a blindness
would come over my eyes so | would
have to sit down. l would get SO nerv-
GUS could hardly control my feelings.
Finally I spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked if I drans-
much coffee and mother told hi.1 that
did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum In
It's place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
Il hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally got package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
Since drinking Postum In place or
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels
are regular and l am well and strong.
That is short statement Of what
Postum has done for me"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well
ville," in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum = must be well
boiled 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. 30c and Soc tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds Is
about the same.

teams are using this play with. con-
siderable regularity.
The open game speeds the game
and it has robbed football of much of
it's former danger to combatants. The
old style game consisted in the main
of line plunging-of drives at center
against the tackles and against the
guards. All these were mass plays,
and no matter how weak the offensive
line or how powerful the opposition
backfield, very few teams were able
to average better than three yards
on drive at the line.
Under the new system, with the for.
ward pass and the double and triple
passes permissible, gains of anywhere
from ten to forty yards are possible
in one play. Yale. by the use of the
double and triple pass and by the
occasional use of a forward pass often
made gains of 20 and 25 yards against
Notre Dame. 1t was the use of the
plays that won for Yale in that game,
and it was because Washington and
Jefferson was more expert in those
new plays than Yale that save the
Washington and Jefferson team it's vic
tory over Yale.

CAR GOES 28.7 MILES
ON GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.

Judged by C. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when, in dis
lance test on the boulevards, 1915
big six went 28.7 miles on gallon OF
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, So test, was de-
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped, except when traffic congestion
made it necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
nected, and in order that the test be
fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run.
Next came the acceleration test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven frt IN standing start to
thirty miles an hour in II 40 seconds.
The flexibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used

Chicago Tribune. Games have been
won through punting when the VIC
torious eleven had no running attack
and although coaches of the leading
eleyens have not resorted to this style
of play as much as in the old days
the kicking game is one of the best
styles to play, especially If two teams
are evenly matched.
The kicking game is as strong as 1t
ever was, but years of experience
have taught the coaches to combine
the running attack and punting. For
he most part the punter has not re-
ceiyed the credit he deserves, and

CONFERENCE Of
GOVERNORS ENDS
Executives Spend Final Day in
City of Milwaukee.
GUESTS OF BUSINESS MEN
Cow David /. Walsh of Massachusetts
Paws Warm Tribute to Wisconsin
at Banquet in Hotel
Pfister.

Nadison-Gov. David l. Walsh of
Massachusetts, made a strong plea
for bumanitarianism in government at
the banquet of the governors confer
ence in Hotel Pfster, Milwaukee. The
executives met for three days in Madi-
ison and moved to Milwaukee for the
final session.
Governor Walsh paid warm tribute
To wisconsin when he said he believed
this state was doing more for its citi-
zens than any other state in the coun-
try He stated that he had received
many ideas while on his visit which he
would try to put into effect when he
reached home.
There is a movement in the coun-
try which shows that the people are
taking a keener and more thorough in
tgrest in government than ever be-
fore" said Governor Walsh. Proud
as I am of our work in Massachusetts,
! want to say that Wisconsin is do
ing more than any other state in the
Union for its citizens.
The speaker gave high praise to the
German-American as good citizen.
81 expected much of Wisconsin be-
cause its citizens are largely of the
same descent as those of Massachu-
sets" he said. 81 know of no better
citizen or one who brings more thrift
and solidity to a community than the
Eerman-American"
Gov. Francis E. McGovern of Wis
consin, who acted as POSTMASTER, de-
fined the progressive movement.
q will give you my definition of the
Wisconsin idea" said Governor Nc
Govern. 1T is not the eugenic law,
the vice commission or any of the
freak bills that have been passed by
the legislature of this and other states.
Nor is it the primary election law,
the workman's compensation law or
the railroad rate commission. If the
Wisconsin idea were represented by
any one statute, could not expect to
find d general agreement as to its mer-
its, because there are bound to be diff
ferences of opinion on individual laws.
There are two factors that go to
make up the Wisconsin idea. They
are method of legislation and logic Of
government.
First, there must be careful in
Yestigation of the subject that is to be
covered by the law. Take the work
mems compensation act, for instance.
This grew from our early labor bu-
Teau. A great deal of investigation
and study, including the amount to be
fixed for payment in many instances,
was necessary, and it required experts
to frame the regulations.
we have the railroad rate commits
sion, the industrial commission and
others to make these Investigations.
In addition we have our university and
normal schools to aid US.
In order to frame laws we must
have men whose ability cannot be
questioned. The legislature cannot
always be relied on
SO, by a careful application of sys-
TEN, we have made laws in this state
which are being copied far and wide.
Individual laws may be the subject OF
argument, but the method is right"
