new FEDERAL GAME
LAW SATISFACTORY
DEPUTY GAME WARDENS TELL
OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS
IN WISCONSIN.
FIND DEER MORE PLENTIFUL
Marshes Full of Ducks and Number of
Water Fowl of All Kinds
on ncreaSe-Prairie
Chickens Scarce.

Madison.-That spring shooting of
practically stopped since the enact
ment of the federal prohibition; that
the number of water fowl breeding in
the state has increased fully SO per
cent; and that the principal water
fowl so breeding are Mallard duck,
blue wing teal ducks, wood ducks,
spoon bill ducks and coot, are the
conclusions of study of reports to
the conservation commission made by
game wardens from all sections of the
state.
From the same reports it is gath
cred that in most sections Of northern
Wisconsin deer are more plentiful
than in several years. Because of
the cold weather and unfavorable
breeding conditions the number of
prairie chickens and grouse is less
in many regions.
The reports by the wardens were
made particularly upon the effects of
the federal migratory bird law and
there is a general agreement among
the sixty replies that spring shooting
in the state in violation of the law is
practically negligible.
Wardens in those regions notable
as breeding places give most crafty
ing replies. Experts say that the
number of water fowl in Wisconsin
is increasing under the new restric-
lions and will continue to increase
from year to year.

HARPER UPHOLDS
USE OF ANTI TOXIN
STATE HEALTH BOARD HEAD
SAYS THERE SHOULD BE NO
DIPHTHERlA DEATHS.
NOT DANGEROUS TO HEART
Statement Makes Defense Against
Charges of Some Physicians
Treatment Should be Ad-
ministered Early.

Madison.-To dispeI an impression
that prevails to a certain extent that
the use of antitoxin in diphtheria is
dangerous, and at the same time to
call attention to the practice of certain
physicians in the state who, when they
have failed in the timely use of anti
toxin, blame it for the evil conse-
quences resulting from their failure,
DR.. c. A. Harper of the state board Of
health gives out the following state
ment:
with the present knowledge of
treating diphtheria there should be no
deaths from this disease if the nature
of the ailment is discovered soon after
the clinical symptoms become mani
fest and antitoxin is freely used.
''In some few cases the physicians
have stated that the death was due to
heart failure as a result of administer
ing antitoXin. This is not true. Either
the physician was not called early
enough so that the antitoxin could be
administered in the early stages of the
disease, or through neglect the physi-
clan in attendance did not use anti
toxin as promptly as he should.
''In every case of diphtheria anti
toxin should be used during the first
day, if possible. If this is done COM
plete recovery can be assured.
''There is no evidence for the state
ment that antitoxin depresses the
heart, or is dangerous in any state of
diphtheria."

KILLING FROsTs IN STATE
Reports From Central Wisconsin Tell
Of Damage Sustained by Late
Maturing Crops.

Madison.-Reports received here
from central parts of the state indi-
cate thousands of dollars in damage
resulted from killing frosts. At Plain
field, corn, potatoes, buckwheat, pump
kins and squash were nipped and as
these crops were far from matured
the farmers are hard hit. At Shawano
corn and potatoes also were damaged.
New London reports damage to beans
and other tender vegetables. The first
frost of the year occurred at Neenah,
but the damage appears to have been
slight.
The Bayfield, county fruit district
and that of Door county apparently
were not touched. The southern Wis
consin tobacco belt was not damaged,
the lowest temperature reported being
in the neighborhood of so degrees.

FLAMES DESTROY OIL PLANT
Electric Sparks Start Blaze at Fond
du Lac, Causing Loss of
$4,000.

Fond du Lac.-Fire destroyed the
plant of the Standard Oil company
entailing loss of $4,000. Heroic
work of the fire department prevented
the flames from extending to the huge
oil tanks containing gasoline and oil.
The fire started when A. J. Graf,
local agent, was filling the auto truck.
1t is believed that the electrical equip
ment of the truck became short cir
cuited and sparks which resulted when
the spout of the filler struck against
the tank set fire to the gasoline fumes.
Graf, who was seriously burned about
the face, arms and hands, was dragged
to safety and hurried to a hospital.
Several small tanks exploded, endan-
gering neighboring manufacturing
plants.

No Raise in Tuition Rate.

Madison.-It is the general impress
sion that the nonresident tuition at
the University of Wisconsin has been
raised for the coming school year
but this is incorrect. The new law
as passed by the 1915 legislature
made specific provision that the in
creased $24 in the nonresident tut
ton fee should not go into effect
until September, 1915. This an
nouncement is made to correct the
idea on the part of students intend
ing to come to Wisconsin for the next
school year that they will be requir-
ed to pay the additional fee.
