MORE GUARDSMEN ORDERED
Governor Instructs Commanders of
Militia Companies to Recruit
More Men.

Madison.-Gov. Philip, in compIi-
ance with instructions from the war
department, Washington, has issued
an order, copy of which has been
sent to every company connected with
the three infantry regiments in the
state, thirtyseven, which includes the
extra company at Chippewa Falls. and
the cavalry troop, that they be re-
cruited up to eighty-nine men, each.
an addition of twenty-four to each of
the thirty eight organizations. That
means three squad addition to every
company, thus placing them on a war
footing, so far as the number of men
is concerned. 1t means an addition of
500 men to Wisconsin's efficient bri-
gade of the National Guard.
Each of the three regiments has a
well-equipped machine gun company
and supply company, all of the Off
GERS and men made familiar with their
duties
Heretofore sle number of men al
lowed to a company was sixty-five.

COUNTIES TO KEEP UP ROADS
Attorney General Rules Green County
Can Not Appropriate Money for
Bridge Partly in Illinois.

Madison-The attorney general adj
vised District Attorney A. w. Grady OF
Port Washington, OZaukee county, that
counties must, under the present law,
maintain state aid highways built IN
fourth class cities. The last legisla-
ture amended the old highway law to
provide that counties should not be
required to maintain state aid high
ways in villages, and it was thought
that the amendment also included
cities of the fourth class as well as
villages, thus relieving the county
from the expense. The attorney gen.
eral said that the legislature probably
intepded to amend the law to include
fourth class cities as we'll as villages.
but had failed to do so.
The attorney general advised Dis
trict Attorney Samuel Blum of Monroe,
Green county, that neither the county
nor the town of Spring Grove can law
fully appropriate money for the con-
struction of new bridge over Sugar
river on the highway running east and
west and partly in Wisconsin and part
~ in Illinois.
The attorney general said that under
the Wisconsin law public money could
be used only in building bridges
wholly on soil within the state.

Ladysmith.-W. R. Bishop, aged "a
years, died at Sherwood
If it had not been for a so-called ac-
cident or Indifference on the part of a
few, w. r. Bishops name would have
been put before that of Thomas A. Ed.
son, for it was Bishop who really in
vented the dynamo.
Many years ago Bishop took to Law
renee university at Appleton what the
students called heap of brass. Bishop,
who lived on the east bank of Lake
Wlnnebago, pulled the heap of brass"
across the ice on a handsleigh and
then walked six miles to Appleton. 1t
was truly dynamo, but the students
and professors at the university laid
the machine on shelf in a dark cor
ner of the laboratory to be taken up
and experimental with at some future
date. A few months later Edison an
nounced to the world the discovery Of
the dynamo.
Bishop was a surgeon in his younger
days. He had saw and grist mill in
the pioneer days of Wisconsin and op-
Grated the machinery with a crude
Waterwheel. The principle was later
developed and nodded into the present
day efficient water turbine

CAMP SANITATION is GOOD
Board of Health Says Enforcement OF
Regulations Has Produced Re-
suits in State.

Mad1son.-Lumber ice and railroad
construction camps in Wisconsin are
clean, sanitary and we'll regulated, and
former frequent complaints of their
condition have now ceased almost en-
tirely. This improvement, according
to the state board of health, has fol-
lowed the enforcement of the regula-
tons relating to camp sanitation, en-
acted early in 1914.
The recent court decision making
employers liable for purity of drinking
water supplied to workmen applies to
operators of lumber and other indus
trial camps. Tests of their water sup
ply will be made free of charge by the
state hygienic laboratory, provided
samples are sent to Madison in con-
tainers of the proper type The state
rules demand an adequate supply free
from any possible chance of contamin-
alton
No effort is MADE 10 make work
camps first class hotels Linen sheets
and pillows are not demanded. Straw,
hay or ticks are enough, but they must
be clean, and blankets must be hung
outside at least twice a month. Bunk
house and kitchen floors must be
washed, the water supply kept pure,
and toilet facilities conform to- official
regulations.

infant MORTALITY
IS FIFTH OF TOTAL
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH DE-
CLARES 20 PER CENT OF 1T
Is PREVENTABLE.
DEATHS AVERAGE IS DAILY
] thousands Succumb at Early Age
Due to the Conditions Surround
ing the First Year
of Life.

Madison.-At least 70 per cent of in
FAINT mortality is preventable, declares
statement issued by the state board
of health.
Every day in the year an average
of 142 babies are born in Wisconsin,
1t says. The deaths among children
under one year of age average fifteen
per day. This gives a death rate for
children under one year of age of los
for each 1000 children born, while the
average annual death rate for the en-
tire population, including persons of
all ages, does not exceed twelve per
1000.
In 1910, 204 per cent of the chill
dren born in the state died before they
were one year old; in 1911, 10.1 per
cent; in 1912, 9.3 per cent. In 1912,
1873 per cent of the total number of
deaths were of children under one
year. Deaths among children one year
OF age evidently constitute about one
fifth OF all the deaths recorded. This
is not as low as the rate of one-sixth
IN some states or as high as the maxi
mum of about one-fourth in other
states
Not all of the poorly nourished dis
eased children die during the first
year of life, but thousands of them
succumb at an early age from condi-
lions directly traceable to the first
year of life

Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited to dresser scarfs, pin-cushion
CT 7ers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms. In the pic
ture dresser set is shown, including
a scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows a red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushior is covered first on
one side with a small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over it. For
the other side considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame and consists of a circu-
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
it is sewed.

Strenqth in Hope.

In spiritual as in earthly things
there is a great strength in hope, and
therefore Gods people are careful to
cultivate that grace. A well-grounded
hope that, having been made new
creatures in Jesus Christ, we are his;
that with our names. though unknown
to fame, written in the Book OF Life,
we have grace in possession and
heaven in prospect; that after few
more brief years, pure as the angels
that sing before the throne, we shall
be brought with gladness into the pal
ace of the king, to be like Christ and
with Christ, seeing him eye to eye
and face to face-such hopes are
powerful springs of action.-Guthrie

GET EGGS FOR HATCHERIES
Conservation Commission Busy Pre-
pairing for Propagation of Lake
and Brook Varieties.

Madison-The Wisconsin conserva
ton commission is busy collecting
brook and lake trout eggs for propa-
cation in the hatcheries. This is the
spawning season for these members
of the trout family. Some forty men
are working on fishing tugs running
out of the many ports on the Great
Lakes.
Prospects are that this year will
show the greatest collection of lake
trout eggs in the history of the fish
cries department. Lake trout eggs run
approximately 250000 to the bushel
and the commission anticipates the
collection of some 200 bushels, a total
of approximately 50,000,000 eggs. The
department also anticipates the col
lection of some 100,000,000 whitefsh,
blue finn and herring eggs in Deem
Der.
State fishing tugs are operating out
of all ports from Kenosha north to
Washington island. The eggs are OF
splendid quality this year.

Barron.-George E. Scott of Prairie
Farm, senator from the Twenty-ninth
district and chairman of the senate
finance committee of the 1916 legisla-
ture, died at his home after a long ill
ness, due, it is said, to overwork.
Six weeks before the close of the
session the senator's health became
impaired and he was given leave OF
absence to recuperate. At the time he
expected to resume his duties within a
fortnight, but he failed to rally and
his death has been daily expected by
friends for the past week.
Senator Scott was born in Durand,
Wis, in 1860 and received his common
school education there. He was a
merchant and miller, and since 1904
had been active in politics as Re-
publican, being elected to the senate
in that year and returned at each sub
sequent session.

WILL INSTALL SPRiNKLERS
Board of Control to Consider Plans for
Protecting State institutions
Against Fire.

Madison-The state board of con-
troll will soon consider plans for
equipping the state charitable and
penal institutions with automatic
sprinklers or other protection against
fire in those institutions, as contem-
plated under law passed by the last
legislature appropriating $4,000 for
such purpose. The amount of money
appropriated will not go far toward in
stalling sprinkler systems in the in
situations, the board believes, but it
will be sufficient to make a start in
that direction and also to keep the
buildings supplied with hand fire ex-
tinguishers, thus minimizing the haz-
ard to life and property.
