Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-

Association.

That Wisconsin is in many ways "A
leader in the public health movement,
that its Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis
Association is the most expert organiza-
ton engaged in public work in the en-
tire country, with the exception Of Hull
House, Chicago, that the state is
neglccting both a large opportunity and
a duty if it fails to give the association
the financial support necessary to carry
on the educational campaign which is
attracting the attention Of other organ
ization and other states, that many of
the methods which have originated in
the Wisconsin Association are being
copied all over the country, are state
ments which represent something of
the opinion Of Samuel Hopkins Adams
Of New York, magazine writer an ex
pert authority on the public health
movement, after ten days personal
investigation of the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association and it's con
nectOn with the state and national
public health movement.

STATE AID ROAD
WORK FOR 1915
Every Unit of Government Will Re-
ceive Full Amount PetItoned For.

Every Unit of Government Will Re
ceive Full Amount PetItioned For.
The State Highway Commission has
completed its allotment of state road
funds for construction in 1915 and has
notified the various county boards of
the amount available for each county.
Applications for state aid registered
with the Commission called for the sum
of about 81 800, 600 in state aid, but be
fore the distribution was made the Su-
force clause of the state aid law was
unconstitutional, thus causing all re-
quests for state aid initiated under this
provision of the law to be thrown out.
The valid applications for state aid re-
manning amounted to $1,000, POI, and
lnasmuch as the state highway appro-
priation for next year amounts to 81, :
$50 600 81 900 900 provided by direct
tax, S200,0 600 from the general fund of
the State and $50 900 from automobile
licenses), every unit of government in
the state Will receive Ile IuIl SUdlt dlu
petitioned for for 1913, this being the
first time that state aid has been paid
in full except in 1913 when the legisla
ture made an extra appropriation to
cover all applications in full.
Considering all conditions, the votes
for next year are very heavy and indi
cate that the people of the state are de-
terminad to have good roads in spite OF
the increase III taxes caused by the road
movement. 1t indicates further that,
in general, the work of state aid road
construction must meet the approval of
the people of the state.
The allotment from the state highway
appropriation to Iowa county is $4,000.

First in Dairy Cows.

The later figures of the United States
department of agriculture show that
the state of Wisconsin has many thou
sands more dairy cows than New York,
the next in order. In addition it is
shown that while the number or dairy
cows is increasing in Wisconsin it is
dropping in New York.
There is room in the upper counties
for another million of COWS, or to near
" double the number in the state.

BABY HAS KICK COMING"

Few parents realize, or even think OF
the possibility, that babies need exer
else. Two Of the best ways they get it
are by crying and kicking. Both are
apt to be shut off somewhat in better
class homes. Kicking and squirming
are interfered with by clothing Even
a perfectly good baby can't be eX
pected to break the bonds Of buttons
and safety pins and make a dash for
liberty.
1t is practice of one of the leading
Milwaukee children specialists to pre-
scribe ten or fifteen minute exercise
period for every normal baby for whom
he is medical supervisor. He directs
tEat during this period the child be
taken in warm room and all clothing
removed The child is then placed
upon firm pad and is allowed to
squirm and kick with complete freedom.
Another medical man who has given
a great deal of study and attention to
medical gymnastics for the correction
devote a few moments each day to the
massage and physical training of his
own babies. He states that it was
matter of amazement, even to him, how
much could be done in the physical up
building Of child by gentle resistance
of the baby's movements. By that
mean form of gentle wrestling car
ried on only so far and 50 long as the
baby shows signs of enjoyment.
The mattress of the baby's bed should
always be firm. In making up the bed.
rs in that of a grown up during cold
weather the body should be insulated
against cold air currents coming up
through the mattress from below.
Such insulation is best secured by paper,
felt or wooden blankets put beneath the
sleeper. This method obviates the
necessity of weighing down the occu
pant with Il load of coverings which
tire instead of warm

Full on the bosom Of the tortured

Till night falls heavy as remember

That will not suffer sleep or thought
Of ease,
And. hour on hour, the dry eyed
Moon In spite
Glares through the haze and mocks
with watery light
The torment OF the uncOmplalning

To echolng Earth thrice parched

ting them into their proper places.
In the latter part Of the course six
oI seven Of the girls prepare and serve
a light luncheon to six or seven other
girls, the outlay Of money being limit
ed. The preparation and serving of
the luncheon. also the conversation
and manners of the guests, are care
fully criticised by both teacher and
pupils.
Occasionally the various divisions
visit the grocery store to learn how to
order groceries, the meat market to
learn to distinguish the different cuts
Of meat the furniture store to plan
for the furnishing of a home, the
hardware store to plan for the pur-
chase OF kitchen utensils During the
summer months the work is carried
along by the mothers in the homes,
who follow the outline the teacher
leaves with the leader of the civicc
lub.
The advantages claimed for the plan
are:
There is no need Of expensive school
apparatus.
The girls learn to cook and do house
work in the home and with the ma
terial and equipment found there and
not in a domestic science kitchen, with
utensils much better than those found
in the average home of the commun-
ity The fact that they visit several
homes during the course of instruc-
ton gives the added advantage of
utilizing a variety of material under
varying conditions.
In every community there are
housewives who are efficient in some
enc or other of the domestic arts,
such as the making of cake. the bak-
ing of bread, serving of luncheons and
dinners. Under this cooperative plan
the schoolgirls have the advantage OF
the various recipes and methods. also
