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

Madison.-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-
tions 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.

If 1t had not been for a so-called ac-
cident or Indifference on the part of
few, w, r. Bishops name would have
been put before that of Thomas A. Edi

vented the dynamo.
Many years ago Bishop took to Law
renee university at Appleton what the
students called a heap of brass Bishop,
who lived on the east bank of Lake
Winnebago, pulled the heap of BRASS
across the ice on a handsleigh and
then walked six miles to Appleton. 1t
was truly a dynamo, but the students
and professors at the university laid
the machine on a shelf in a dark cor

and experimental with at some future
date. A few months later Edison an
nounced to the world the discovery of
the dynamo.

days. He had a saw and grist mill in

waterwheel. The principle was later
developed and nodded into the present

Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Oconto,
Sank, Sheboysan, ST. croix
and Iowa Counties.

Madison.-More than 500 agrtcul-
tural fairs will be held in little rural
schoolhouses of Wisconsin this fall
and winter. AS much public interest
Is attached to some of these fairs as
to many larger fairs, and in some
communities every family will attend
them.
Rural School Inspector W. Il. Lar
son Of the state superintendent staff
says the school fairs are at their
height. In some districts exhibits at
them exceed 200.
According to Inspector Larson, the
school fairs accomplish three things
worth while in any community.
First-They teach the relationship
between the farm, home and the
school
Second-They interest the child in
real things.
Third Rivalry among the children
to grow prize winning exhibits scat.
tiers the germ of inspiration in the
whole community.
The school fair plan origin is uncer.
tain, but it has reached its greatest
limits and scored it's biggest successes
in Sank, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Fond
du Lac, St. Croix Iowa and Oconto
counties.
In some every school has fair at
which there are exhibits Of vegetables,
poultry, fruits and grains. In others
several districts will join in harvest
| festivals.

UNITED STATES ENVOY TO
BELGIUM Is COMING HOME
Case Echo-lllness Given
as the Reason.

Washington, Nov 5.-Brand Whit.
lock, United States minister to Bel
GUM, is returning home. This an
nouncement was made here on
Wednesday.
The reason given for Whitlock's re-
turn is i'll health. His physician. it
was stated, has advised him that he
would be unable to regain his health
II he persisted in his strenuous du-
ties at Brussels.
Although 1t has been known for
some time that Minister Whitlock has
been in i'll health, the announcement
that he was returning at this time
caused a sensation.
The fact that German newspapers
have criticized In the most severe
terms Whitlocks activities in behalf
of Edith Cavell. the nurse spy. whom
he tried to save from execution. some
even demanding that his recall be
asked, aroused considerable specula.
ton.
That he has been summoned home
by the state department after Ger
many had protested against the max
ing public Of his account of the Cavell
execution, was the belief in some
quarters.
He indirectly charged breach OF
diplomatic confidence against the Brit
ish foreign Office for making public
the report from Secretary Gibson of
the American legation at Brussels.
Whitlock in his report said that the
publicity caused him serious embar.
rassment with the Germans He add.
ed. however, that he believed this had
been fully cleared up.
At the time Miss Cavell was SEN
fenced to death, Whitlock was con-
fined to his bed, but made an effort
to save her by using his secretary and
securing the MD of the Spanish min.
lister.
