Mr.. Wolf is intensely Chieagoan and
Q firm believer in its future.
In 1882 he engaged in the dry goods
business, in which he continued until
1898. In 1892 he was elected West
Town Collector. The people demanded
him for City Treasurer in 1895. Three
years later he became County Assessor

les is believed to be most contagious
during the first four days of the attack.
The danger is much less after the fever
has subsidized. If only parents through
out the city win cooperate with the
Department Of Health by keeping a
careful watch Rs to the state Of their
children s health, and in keeping even
a slightly ailing child at home until it
is known to be free from contagion of
any kind, material reductions can be
made in both the case and death rates
of these often so-caIled harmless di-

Remember that there would be but

BEING RIGHTLY AFRAID

II
There is no harm in anyone having
wholesome fear Of disease. As mat.
Ter OF fact, fear very often plays an
important part in protecting and con-
serving community health. But because
people are very much afraid of some di.
seases, and almost Indifferent about
others, most every community has q
great deal Of sickness that might be
avoided.
For example, everybody breads small
Pox and because Of their fear of this
disease, people will submit to vaceina-
tlon IN order to avoid having it. Let Us
say then, that fear, of the intelligent,
wholesome kind, if you please, has been
a most important factor in helping health
authorities to bring smallpox under a
large measure Of control. So extensive
In fact, that smallpox epidemies are
now few and far between. Last year,
IN spite of the fact that Chicago has a
pretty large unvaccinated population,
there was but one death from smallpox;
but it had during that year, 2ss deaths
from measles.
The trouble is that parents are not
afraid of measles in spite of the fact
that it killed nearly 300 children in a
single year. Much the same attitude
is taken as to most of the communicable
diseases, that is, that while they are
not desirable to have, yet, it is the
inevitable lot of children to have them
and therefore there is not much use in
being careful to avoid them.
Also, for 1913, there were IOI deaths
caused by whooping cough, another di-
sease that is lightly regarded by many
people, whose position is that they
rather want their children to have such
diseases as measles, humps and whoop-
ing cough as soon as possible and thus
be over with them. This is a grievous
mistake, especially in the face Of the
fact that for the first months of this
year, whooping cough had POP deaths to
its credit.
But this somewhat startling death
record, due to diseases that are par
ticularly regarded as "not at all danger
Gus" by most people, is by no means
the whole story. For, while there were
in 1913, 2ss deaths due to measles, there
were 1912 cases, 1854 of which re-
covered. But it is well known that
measles often leaves effects that work
serious and permanent harm. Here is
what the Department leafet has to say
about measles: alt kills by causing
Inflammation of the air passages and
lungs. 1t mains by causing diseases Of
the eyes and ears. In the latter case
sometimes causing death by an extern
sion to the membrane covering the
brain.
ait is a crime for parents to pur-
posely expose a child to measles. Keep
the child from taking measles until he
is grown up, and there will be few
deaths from this disease.''

HON. ADAM WOLF

Honest Adam Wolf, Republican candi-
date for reelection for member of the
Board of Assessors for the past sixteen
years, who can be voted for on Tues
day, November 3rd, by the women or
the dear ladies if you please, is so well
and favorably known to the great army
of readers of this paper that it does not
require a whole column of space to tell
the long story of his life.
Fifty years ago, then a lad of seven
years, arrived in Chicago. Educated
in the public schools and became one of
the leading West Side merchants.
Today the people are demanding Of
their candidates for public Office that
they pledge themselves to turn over to
the people every dollar of interest
earned by the funds in their possession.
Adam Wolf has the proud distinction
of being the first public official in Cook
County to follow such q course. As a
West Town Collector in 1898, he in
augurated a new era in politics by vol
UNFAIRLY turning over to the Town Board
the interest money earned by public
funds.
The action of Collector Wolf was con-
sidered so unusual that the Daily News

that his record is one of continu-

whether tie station be the hlgE Lest
or one of humber rank.
In the Grand Lodge his career
as an official began in 1891 as
Grand Stewart. The death of
Bro. G. T. Hines in 1905 vacated
the office of Grand Lecturer and
Bro. Caldwell was appointed to
the position by the late L. Z.
Delahoussaye, then Grand Master
In 1906 he was elected by the
Grand Lodge and he was re-
elected annually thereafter until
1912, when he let it be known
that he would net again accept the
office. This did not satisfy the
brethren. They wanted him to
remain an officer of the Grand
Lodge and elected him Grand
Junior Warden. The following
year he was advanced to Grand
Senior Warden and Oh February
+. 1914, he was elected Grand
Master of the State of Louisiana.
CAPrTULAR.
HIS career as Royal Arch
Mason began in 1891 when he was
exalted IN Keystone Chapter No.
A, in Alexandria. In the same
year Hiram Chapter U. d. was
organized and he was made High
Priest, to which office he was
elected on its attaining u charter
as No. Is and occupied that station
during 1892-93-95 and every year
thereafter until the end of 1905,
when his duties as Grand Lecturer
precIuded his retention to the
office.
In the Grand Chapter he served
in 1865 as Grand Master of the
First Veil; in 1896 ne was Grand
Master OF the Second Veil and in
1907 and 1908 he served as Grand
Lecturer.

Summit Council No. II of Alex

Select Master in 1891. In 1904
when Cage Council No Is was
organized in Natchitoches he be-
came a member thereof and in
1905 was it's Thr. III. Master. In
the G. and Council he was Grand
Principal Conductor of Work in
1905 Deputy Grand Master in
1906 and I and in 1903 he was NJ.
Ill. Grand Master of Royal and
Select Masters of Louisiana.
He is also a member of the
Grand Consistory of La, 30, A
and A. S. r. and Jerusalem Tenn
pie of the Mystic Shrine
1t will be observed that if long
service is an indication of merit
and title to honor, Bro. Caldwell
Possesses them in an unusual de-
gree and is entitled to the highest
distinction within the gift of the
Masonic Fraternity. Although
arrived at that period of age when
men are inclined to rest, the eve
ming of his life finds him still
active in the work of Masonry to
which he has devoted forty years.
We trust that when he laws down
the robe of Office he will, in the
blessing of his well spent activity
and in the love and veneration of
his brethren, for many more years
enjoy. the fruits of a life we'll spent
in service to his country and his
