Your problem is to be considered
from two angles, 1st-what is best
for the patient; and 2nd-what is
best for the boarders.
Personally, am convinced that
every patient suffering from tuber-
culosis should, if at all possible
(and it is usually possible for an
Individual patiently, be treated in a
tuberculosis sanatorium. The chanc-
es of recovery are seldom so good
under any other conditions. If,
therefore, arrangements can be
made to haYe the patient enter a
sanatorium, you will do best for
the patient, for the boarders, and
for your own family.
Concerning the second alterna-
tive phase of the problem, it is not
at all impossible for we'll people
to live in fairly close contact with
consumptives without serious dan
ger to their health. 1t is being cone
every day in the sanatoria. In your
problem Of safeguarding the board
ers, the greatest demand is for the
patient to be furnished with sepa.
rate dishes which should be washed
and handled separately from those
used by the family and boarders.
A practical suggestion for private
families is offered by sanatoria
which use dishes of different pat
tern for patients than that of dishes
used for those not suffering from
the disease. This makes accident
al mixing almost impossible.
Preventing tuberculosis requires
more intelligent vigilance than pro-
found knowledge because there is
but one sourse of danger in pull
monary consumption and that is
in the discharge from the patients
lungs. But there are many posi-
bic ways in which a person who is
in close contact with patient can
get the germs Of the disease in his
system during twenty-four hour
day. Here are a few Of the most
important warnings:
Don't shake hands with consum-
ptive.
Don't kiss consumptive,
Don't drink from his glass.
Don't handle bedding, papers,
cloths, etc, without thoroughly
washing hands afterwards and
possibly rinsing them in alcohol
Burn the discharges. If they are
collected in paper napkins, orpaper
boxes this will be accomplished
most easily.
A consumptive should be urged
and taught to be unusually Clearly
in his habits. Then, to double the
safeguards, his attendants them
selves should be unusually clearly.
Write for packet of literature
which will be mailed without cost
to you.

CONSUMPTION IN THE HOUSE

The following query and answer
will doubtless be of interest and
values in hundreds of Wisconsin
homes.
1--WE have a tubercular patient
under treatment in our home, where
also, four young women are taking
their meals. Please recommend to
me the best course to pursue; should
we let rhe boarders go, or can salts
factory safeguards be furnished
them under such conditions? We
desire to be fair to everyone con-
cerned."

LAUNDRY TEAM
TIES WESTON 5
Second Game of Match Is
Feature Event; Globe Mills
Beats Cement Plant.

In the bowling at the Cactus club Nom
day night in the Industrial League the
Laundry and the Weston teams split even
in the first match with two points each,
while the fast coming Globe Mills team took
three Of the four points from the Cement
Plant team. which Is running second. The
results Of these two matches served to fur
Their bunch the three leaders and to put the
Globe Mills team in a little better position
to come up on the leaders. The three to
one victory Of the Milers over the Cement
Plant leaves the former team only one point
behind the Cement Plant and six behind the
leading Weston team. a month ago the
Globe Mills appeared to be a cinch for the
cellar championship. However. the injec-
ton Of blood into the team strength
ened it to such extent that il appears
that the fight for the leadership Of the
league will be between the Millers and the
Weston team
The feature Of Wednesday nights bowl
ing the second game between the Laun-
dry and Weston teams in the first match.
At the end Of the tenth frame both teams
had tho same score, S57. making the first
time in two years that two teams had been
tied and necesstating an extra frame to
decide the winner. Despite the fact that
both Smiths, rolling for the Laundry, got
splits in the extra frame that team had the
game well in hand when the two anchor men
came up. 1t looked like a Ciuch for the
Laundry when Dutch Maggie failed to double
but DeBruhl. the Laundry's anchor man,
was attacked by severe case Of stage
fright.
His first ball he rolled off the alley and
old reliable Dutch came through with
strike and spare, giving his team 20 pins
and the game by the narrow margin Of four
pins. In the last game the Laundry team
showed fine game and not only won the
game, but came from so pins behind and
went into the lead by "a margin of 20. The
fine showing of the Laundry team against
the leading Wcstons was to a large extent
due to the bowling of the teams latest
acquisition, Cunningham, whose consistent
rolling gave him high total for the night
with $40. NaEle had high game in this
match with 10.
The victory Of the Globe Mills team in
the second match was again largely due to
the splendid bowling of Buddy Ward. who
had high total for the night with 517
When Buddy Joined the Milers they were
hOpelessly in the rut. That was about a
month ago Now the team is right on top
Of the second team and well within striking
distance Of the leaders Since Buddy Joined
the team the Millers have won the majority
Of the points in every match which they
have played. X. II. Aber had high game

FORMER LOCAL BALLPLAYER
ALLEGED INSANE FROM REVIVAL

Charles J. Gurtz, well known to fol-
lowers of baseball in El Paso, is being
held in Gordon, Ind, his home city,
charged with insanity. In 1912 GurtZ
played with the 22d infantry team in
the City league here, playing ah0rtstCp
for the team and leading the League
both in betting and base running. In
1913 he played second base for III Paso
in the Copper league and in this league,
too, was up in front in batting. Last
season he was again signed to play
with Ell Paso in the Copper league
When the team failed to get the use Of
Washington park Gurtz went to Silver
City, where he played for a short time
early in the season. He was then
signed by Bloomington in the Three-I
league.
As he had done in other leagues,
Gurtz led the Three-I league in batting
in his first year having an average of
.3S2. At the end of the past season
Gurtz was drafted by the Chicago
White SOX and was 30 have made the
spring training trip to Paso Robes,
Calf. with that team.
Since his return to his home town,
Gordon. several revival meetings have
been held, and it is believed these wero
responsible for CURTIS mental condi-
ton, as his alleged insanity has taken
q religious trend.

National league, the two leagues which

ever since the agreement was reached"
Morley Says eight"
Jim Morley, former owner of the
Los Angeles club, believes that the
Coast league magnates would be fool
ish to allow the major leagues to get
out Of their agreement with the Coast
league.
when the Coast league was in
duced to enter organized baseball it
had an agreement with the majors that
the big fellows never lived up to-" said
Morley today "A special rating was
promised and never secured.
Then in 1907 the majors entered into
a 10 year compact with the Coast
league, granting 1t an AA rating and
agreeing that no league should be rated
above the class of the Coast league.
The Coast league should compel the
majors to respect their agreement
geographically the Pacific Coast can
conduct baseball as it sees fit. The
nest financial seasons local club own
ers ever had were when outlaw ball
was being played and they can again
go outlaw and make good.
Personally 1 believe the Coast
league could affiliate with the Federals
and baseball locally would be bene-
fitted.
The only benefit the Coast league
ever received from being in organized
baseball was the protection afforded
players in the league, and with a third
big league that protection is a thing
Of the past and the Coast league should
assert its rights, and it will win"

IN THE opening game of the 1911
worlds series between the Giants
= and the Athletics, manager NcGraw,
coaching at third base, insisted that the
base runner take a long chance to
score. McGraw has the play before
him and figured that, with a break in
the luck, the runner had a fine chance
to turn the trick. 1t was at very
critical stage Of the game, the Ath-
letics leading, / to O. The runner man

manager McGraw's judgment look real
good. The Giants eventually won the
game, to ], said result showing what
p prominent part one run played in the
outcome of the game.
With Bender and MatheWson doing the
pitching. and both in fine shape it was
a good bet that the contest would re-
solve itself into pitchers battle The
Athletics scored in the second, the only
run OF the game made by the Mack
men Baker hit safely to right and
was sacrificed to second by Murphy. A
clean hit to left field by the veteran,
Harry Davis, scored Baker. In the first
three innings, four of the nine Giants
retired, went out on strikes, so effec-
tive was Bender's pitching. McGraW
realized that the indian was at his best
which meant that the Giants must take

II the Giants with an average of

Most of abe major league clubs have

the best return that major league clubs

GOVERNMENT OPERATIoNI-
The Eastland disaster should prove
to the American people that this hOr-
roT is another important argument
for the government to operate all
transportation lines, which is for thei
safety of human beings.
The first reason for government
operation is that when a boat is con-
demned by one state it will mean that
it is condemned by all states.
When an inspector is employed by
the government (while the article to
be inspected is run by the govern
ment) he will not have money star
ing him in the face, which tempts
every human being.
There will be no scramble for dol
lars and cents, which was the cause
of Overcrowding the Eastland and
the fundamental cause of Chicago's
greatest disaster.
The government will provide
enough IifebOats, equivalent to the
number of passengers on board. This
can be complied with by private cor
porations, but they are too greedy
for money.
Government operation warrants
the peoples safety and that nobody
but efficient men will be employed
and be paid enough money to render
their services to the pubiC.-AIbert
