"Oh of course. do just as you like" re-
piled the yellow beetle carelessly, and
he went on about his own business.
For some time the green beetle played
about as before. but he couldn't quite
forget what his friend had said. It
stayed in the back OF his mind and he
kept thinking of 1t whether he wanted
to or not.

froze up all the nice holes-he nearly
froze up all the beetles. too. by the way
and poor Mr.. Green Beetle was left cold
and hungry and homelessl
But whining was not considered elegant

 FAIRBANKS

United States Marshal Erwin writes the Fairbanks Times from Washington as follows:
 "The secretary of the interior au- thorizes the statement that he and President Wilson are positively de- termined that the railroad shall be built to Fairbanks.
 Regarding the Fairbanks bridge, Colonel Richardson, chairman of the Alaska road commission, tells me that the money is now available for the construction of a temporary bridge, extending across the Cinema river from the foot of Cushman street, in the spring, free of charge to the city of Fairbanks. Using this bridge as a working basis, the falsework will be put in for a permanent steel bridge. which vii be constructed under the direction of the engineer officer of the commission as rapidly as weather conditions permit.

YAK STEAKS BE POPULAR IN
 ALASKA

Yak steak may become an Alaskan dellcacy. c. c. Georgeson, special agent of the agricultural department in charge of experimental work uI there, wants the government to breed a new strain of yak cattle by cross ing the Asiatic yak with domestic Galloway cattle.
 He says cattle can be raised in In terior Alaska, but they have to be protected in winter by log shelters and the problem of feeding Is some what difficult But the yak needs no coddling; he can survive the SC verest winter and begin the spring Tn good condition.
 MT. Georgeson has been getting in. formation from the Russian govern ment in Siberia. Experiments in crossing the yak with common cattle in Mongolia have been successful. Both the yak and his hybrid offspring are hardy; they obtain their feed through long, cold winters practical. ly without the aid of owners. They are used for beef and for milk, as well as work animals.
 MT. Georgeson's suggestion is an. other illustration of the plans that are being laid to make Alaska self sustaining. It has been demonstrated that various crops can be raised here. If Alaskans can be assured of yak steak and fried potatoes, both pro- duced by themselves, they ought to be reasonably secure against hunger. Portland Journal.

\ SPECIAL ENVOY IF PRESIDENT
 GOES ABROAD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. - Colonel E. NJ. House. a close personal and po- litical friend of President Wilson, and secretary of state in the kitchen cabi- net, is sailing for Europe today on a mission for Wilson, which will ne cessitate his visiting several of the capitals of the warning nations. It is believed that House is the bearer of oral instructions from the Presi- dent to certain of this country's Flu srTeS6aT Ambassadors, and that these instructions deal largely with the construction the administration will put on disputed points of international law. House is in no manner attempt ing to promote the peace movement, and his endeavors will not be directed in that direction, as the President has not yet considered the time ripe for overtures.

Washington, d. c. Oct. 26, 1915.
The law to prohibit future trading
in cotton, enacted last year. has been
declared unconstitutional by federal
court.
A violati On by congress of one of
the simplest rules of law-making is the
basis for the decision. The constitu-
tion directs that all revenue measures
must originate in the house of repre-
sentatives. The cotton futures law
originated in the senate.
BY title it was IAN act to tax dealing
in cotton" etc. 1t has produced
revenue.
A palmer case of legislative botoh-
ing is hardly conceivable. The court
said it could do nothing but pronounce
the law void.
The decision Numerically fays the
Democratic congress for it's slovenly
methods. Said the opinion of the
court:
This act falls into the class of meas
ures void because of the unworkman-
like way in which congress used the
tools provided by the constitution.
Congress did something in such d
slovenly manner that TO be effective)
it must be done over again.
The constitution provides that all
bills for revenue must originate in the
house. 1t is not seen how this court
can disregard information furnished
by congress itself.
A more humiliating fiasco than this
Democratic experiment with the cot
ton industry can be scarcely imagined.
For years there has been constant
agitation on the subject. 1t eulminat-
ed in tremendous demand in the last
congress for legislation to regulate
the cotton market. Dramatic appeals
came from scores of national law max
ers from cotton producing centers.
Unless you enact this law" declar-
ed Representative Lever of South
Carolina, house sponsor for the bill,
four people will go on suffering an
annual loss of 500, 900, OOO."
Impassioned orators hailed the writ
ing of the statute as the nations sal
walton, and pictured it's defea+ as a
"knife-thrust at the throbbing heart
of the south" Yet in almost the same
breath they voted for bill the very
title of which proclaimed it's worth
lessness.
The machinery of law-making is not
a mere plaything. 1t is powerful in
strument controlling national dssti-
mics. Public welfare demands that it's
operation should not be entrusted to
those who over and oyer again have
their utter un6tness for
the responsibility.

What About the Farm Orchard?

Secretary Cranefeld of the State
Horticultural society is against the
farm orchard except for the supply
of the farm house, or at the most for
the supply of the local community.
He seems to be of the opinion that
the average farmer knows not how
either to grow good apples nor to
market them, 1t is too likely that he
is right.
Secretary Cranefield hits the poll
ticians who are worried about good
apples going TO waste for lack of
market facilities" by pointing out
that they are not good apples.

hood is new have learned much of
practical, everyday value from the
inspection of complete outfits of simply
and properly made baby clothes and
from aathoritive talks on the healthful
upbringing of children. The health of
the entire family and of the communi-
ty is given special attention; the
health exhibit showing what has been
accomplished in the stamping out of
preventable diseases being big features
of the institute. Educational moving
pictures, stereopticon lectures, direct
ed play and the community singing
provide entertainment features which
interest young and old alike. Follow
ing the program at Mineral Point,
two public spirited brothers bought
the old opera house and turned it into
a community gymnasium. When the
time came to remodel it, the advice of
the head of the department. of physi-
cal education of the university was
sought and given.
That the get-together spirit is be-
coming real power throughout the
state is indicated in the remarkable
growth of organized community work
shown by reports received through
the various bureaus of the Extension
Division of the University of Wiscon-
sin, by which, in cooperation with
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, the Institutes are conducted.
Additional evidence is given by the
increasing demands for the service.
The first institute was held in Sank
City in Febrsary, 1918. The following
year there were seven institutes and
last year there were nine. This year
a new system has been adopted. More
Institutes will be held than in any
preceding year but instead of scatter
ing them throughout the entire year a
circuit will be formed, the Institutes
will be held On successive weeks be-
tween Jan. / and May /, and speakers
and exhibits will go from one city to
another in sequence. The institutes
wsll be divided among the various dis
tricts, each district being allowed a
certain number. Applications from
several cities are already on file.

CONSUMPTION I'm THE HoUs

CONSUMPTION In The HOUSE
The following query and answer will
doubtless be Of interest and value in
hundreds of Wisconsin homes
"We have a tubercular patient un-
der 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 the boarders go. or can satisfactory
safeguards be furnished them under
such conditions? We desire to be fair
to everyone concerned"
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, l am convinced that
every patient suffering from tuber-
culosis should, if at all possible land
it is usually possible for an individual
patient) to be treated in tuberculosif
sanatoripm. The chances of recovery
are seldom SO good under any other
conditions. If, therefore, arrange
ments can be made to have the patient
enter sanatorinm, you will do best
for the patient, for the boarders, and
for your own family.
Concerning the second and alterna-
tive phase of the problem, it is not at
all impossible for well people to live in
fairly close contact with consumptives
without serious danger to their health.
1t is being done every day in the sana-
toria. In your problem of safeguard
ing the boarders, the greatest demand
is for the patient to be furnished with
separate dishes which should be wash
ed and handled separately from those
used by the family and boardcrs. A
practical suggestion for private fami-
lies is offered by sanatoria which use
dishes of different pattern for patients
than that of dishes used for those not
suffering from the disease. This makes
accidental mixing almost impossible.
Preventing tuberculosis requires
more intelligent vigilance than pro-
found knowledge because there is but
one source of danger in pulmonary
consumption and that is in the dis
charges from the patients lungs. But
there are many possible ways in which
a person who is in close contact with a
patient can get the germs of the dis
ease in his system during a twenty
four hour day. Here are few of the
most important warnings:
Don't shake hands with consump-
tive.
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, or paper
boxes this will be accomplished most
easily.
A consumptive should be urged and
taught to be unusually clearly in mis-
habits. Then. to double the safe
guards, his attendants themselves
should be unusually clearly.
Write for packet of literature which
will be mailed without cost to you.
