STATE HEALTH REPORT
FOR APRIL, MAY, JUNE

| The report of contagious diseases,
made by the different health Off
GERS to the state board of health
for the quarter ending June 80 has
just been made public. The report
shows that during the months of
April, May and June there were

13 cases of mening is and cases
of infantile paralysis.
The cases of infantile paralysis are
distributed by counties, aus follows:
Eau Claire 1, and Portage 2.
The reputation for being healthy
is a splendid advertisement for any
city. To have it generally realized
that a city has a pure water and
milk supply is worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars to it annually in
tourist trade alone.
Grand Rapids has such a reputation
We have excellent drinking water
and the milk supply good and whole
some.
A look at the number of different
contagious diseases reported to the
state health department and a sum-
mary of the number of each kind of
cases in Wood county for the three
months mentioned shows that out of
a total of 1872 contagious diseases.
Wood county had but 63, and there
was not a single death from any of
the contagious diseases in Wood
county during the period mentioned.
The cases reported in Wood county
for the three months ending June
so, We're: Diptheria 8; typhoid fever
y; whooping cough 6; scarlet fever
"a; measles 10, and tuberculosis 3.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
PROCLAMATION FOR A
DAY OF PRAYER
My Dear Mr.. Fontaine:

My Dear Mr.. Fontaine:-
ers will be glad to share in the priv
ilege of prayer as called for by the
proclamation for a national day of
prayer Oct. 18th, for war stricken
Europe.
1t will perhaps be interesting to
note that President Lincoln issued
several such ''calls to prayer" dur
ing his administration.
The announcemen of the federal
success at Gettysburg was accompa-
MED by a call upon the people to
remember and reverence God with
profoundest gratitude. On the fiji
teenth of July, 1868, shortly after the
fall of Vicksburg, he issued a procla-
of August, to be observed as day
for national prayer; inviting the
people to render the homage due
to the Divine Majesty, for the won
derful things he has done in the
nations behalf; and invoke the in
fluence of his Holy Spirit to sub
due the anger which has produced
and SO long sustained a needless and
cruel rebellion; to change the hearts
of the insurs ents; to guide the coun-
sells of the government with wisdom
adequate to so great a national emer-
gency; and to visit with tender care
and consolation, throughout the
length and breadth of our land, all
those who, through the vicissitudes
of marches, voyages, battles and
sieges, have been brought to suffer
in mind, body, or estate; and, fin
ally, to lead the whole nation
through paths of repentance and sub
mission TO the Divine Will, back to
the perfect enjoyment of union and
fraternal peace
This was followed on the third
of October with his Thanksgiving
proclamation setting apart the last
Thursday of November as a special
day of prayer. This is significant be-
cause no such national day had been
observed for nearly seventy five
years. Again on the seventh of De
cember he issued a dispatch calling
upon all loyal people to assemble at
their places of worship for purpose
of prayer.
Yours Cordially,
ROBT. J. LOCKE.

A BIBLE STORY IN SLANG

Evangelist BILLY" Sunday, who
has been conducting a series of re-
vival meetings at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
recently gave his version of the en-
counter between David and Goliath,
ais follows:
Saul and all of his sons except
David went off to war; they left
David at home because he was only
a kid. After a while David's ma
got worried. She wondered what
had become of his brothers because
they hadn't telephoned her or sent
word. So she said to David, Dave
you go right down there and see
whether they are all right.
So David pixies off to where the
war is, and the first morning he was
there out comes this big Goliath, a
big strapping fellow about eleven
feet tall, who commenced to shoot
off his mouth as to what he was go
ing to do.
Who's that big stiff putting up
that game of TALK" asked David of
his brothers.
"Oh, he's the whole works; he's
the head chief of the Phillistines
He does that little stunt every
day
Say. said Dayia. you guys
make me sick. Why don't some of
you go out and soak that guy? You
let him get away with that stuff"
He decided to go out and tell Co
Hath where to head in
So Saul said: You'd better take
my armor and sword David put
them on, but he felt like fellow
with a hand-me-down suit about
four times too big for him, so he

WISCONSIN AND THE
PANAMA CANAl

Win the newly completed Panama
Canal restore to the Mississippi nv
er its old glory as the bearer of a
vast commerce? Wisconsin pioneers,
who not much more than a half cen
fury ago chiefly depended upon the
Father of Waters to carry their pro
duce to market, confidently predict
that it Will They believe that its
broad bosom will soon bear a proud
commerce of Wisconsin manufactures
by way of New Orleans and the ca
nal to the western coast of South
America.
The present generation can scarce
ly realize how significant the Missis-
sippi was in the life of the first pio-
neers of Wisconsin At the very be-
ginning the furs, somewhat later the
ores of the lead region, and as the
state was opened to settlement. the
wheat and the lumber of the vest
eTn counties, all depended upon this
great highway for their market. The
completion of the first East and
West railroads across the state in
the later fifties struck the first seri-
Gus blow at the supremacy OF the
river, and when the Civil War clos
ed all communication with New Or
leans for four years, the commerce
was almost entirely diverted to the
more direct East and West railroads
Since the time of the war, the com
meree of the Upper Mississippi has
scarcely paid for the cost of keep
ing the stream in a navigable con-
dition. 1t is to be hoped that a more
useful future is in store for the
Father of Waters.
