REPORT By STATE
BOARD Of HEALTH
1882 Deaths During the Month
of September.
CANCER REAPS HEAVY TOLL
One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Per-
sons Die From Disease-Statemen
Shows Many Auto and Rail-
road Accidents.

Madison.-There were 1882 deaths,
exclusive of still births, in the state in
September. according to the Wiscon-
sin state board of health report.
This" the board said, represents an
annual death rate of 7.3 per 1000 esti-
mated population. The rate is exceed,
ingly low"
The northern counties reported 302
deaths with a death rate Of 81 per
1000, the central counties reported 571
deaths with a rate of 80 per 1000.
and the southern counties $50 with a
rate Of 8.8 per 1000.
Important causes of death and the
number of deaths in each disease are
as follows:
Pulmonary tuberculosis, III; other
tuberculosis, 10; typhoid fever, g.;
diphtheria, 7; scarlet fever, 8; measles,
3; whooping cough, Is; pneumonia,
n; diarrhea (under two years of age),
SO; meningitis, Il; influenza. 2; puer-
peral septicema, 4; cancer, 1913; vio-
lence, $50.
More deaths were reported from
cancer than any other disease. The
deaths from violence show that eight
resulted from automobile accidents,
four from gunshot wounds, seventeen
from railroad accidents, thirty-six from
suicides, thiTty-three from accidental
drowning, eight from horse vehicles
and horses and six from accidental
burns and scalds. One death was re-
ported from infantile paralysis, one
from smallpox and one from pellagra.

1914, the balances were:

The increase of S105, 638.82 in the
general fund and $82,651.37 in the uni
versity fund for 1915 over 1914 is more
than Offset by the decrease of 1884, POS
in the normal fund income.
The insurance fund and the teach
ers' retirement fund are maintained
according to law and from them are
paid losses and teachers pensions re-
spectively and for no other purpose.
The time for making the annual
state tax levy comes the latter part of
this month and the condition of the
treasury is favorable to considerable
remission of some taxes should the
officials desire to make them.
One fact that will cut quite a figure
in the tax levy of 1915 as compared
with 1914 is that the amount to be
levied for highway purposes is only
S7S5, 600, while in both 1913 and 1914
it was $1,20O,000
When the tax of 1914 was levied a
remission was made of $450,OO0 levied
for the state capitol building fund and
100000 of the $1,200,O00 highway tax
levy, making a total remission of
S65O,000 The amount levied by the
late legislature for the capitol build
ing funds tax levied this year was
100000.

Warns Board Of Emergency Law.

Warns Board of Emergency Law.
Routine and organization work took
up the greater part of the second
meeting of the state board of eGuca-
ton.
In another discussion of state
finances, Gov. E L. Philip asserted
that the normal schools and the uni
versity need not expect any help from
the emergency fund except in cases of
emergency. He said the university
had a deficit Of $4,000 in the opera
ton fund. but that it also had a sur
plus OF 100000 in the university fund
income. The governor intimated that
the surplus should be made to take
care of the deficit in this case and
that it would do no good to appeal to
the emergency fund.
Plans for charging the west exit of
the university gymnasium were ap-
proved by the board after Professor
Thorkelson of the university had ex-
planned that this was necessary on the
grounds of safety.
The board authorized the establish
ment of stationery supply stands at
each of the normal schools in the
state and approved contracts for the
foundation of the new building at
Oshkosh.

Governor Philip Invited.

Governor Philip has been invited
to attend the midwest conference On
military preparedness" to be held at
Davenport, Ia, on October 14-15, which
will be participated in by state on
Gals and representatives of nine mid
die West states. The conference will
be held under the auspices of the
cities Of Moline, Davenport and Rock
Island. One of the features of the
conference will be the inspection OF
the United States arsenal at Rock
Island, which is the chief munitiOn
station in the country. The senators
and congressional representatives of
Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and the
two Dakotas have already signifed
their intention of attending the con-
ference. The object is to talk over, in
a semiof1cial way, the problems Of
preparedness which are now confront
ing the United States.
Governor Philip will probably not
be able to attend the conference owing
to a conflict in dates.

II Lacks the Punch.

Imported limburger cheese, that
fragrant Wand whose slightest Whit
causes strong men to turn away, has
1een bottled up in Germany by the
British embargo and thousands Of
1erman-Americans are fnconsolabIe.
Here in this country the factories are
-urning out a cheese which Is called
imburger, but although it is rem
liscent of the winter quarters Of a
nenagerie and suggests the recently
vacated kitchen of a Chinese boarding
house, it still lacks the essential
punch. Real Iimburger must instant
~ recall a lanyard in July or a private
drain pipe of fertilizing studio.
American Imburger is lacking in
bolh particulars. One Of the most
reprehensible features of the Ameri-
can product is its complete inertia.
Where the old cheese, over 4 level
and with favorable winds
could travel half a block over night,
the 1915 model barely stirs. Even in
hot weather. which used to send the
imported article skidding on IT'S way,
the substitute just .rembles violently
and sticks around. It is entirely IN
emotionaI-it has no temperament

Hard-Worked Student.

President Hibben of Princeton ap-
pears to confirm the charges of the
under graduate" who recently had an
article in the Outlook, that a college
student had small incentive to work
and that in most instances he could
loaf pleasantly through the course
This article brought many letters to
the Outlook. and the discussion took
a pretty wide range President Hib-
ben addressed a conference of mas
tiers of church schools at Wayne. a
Philadelphia suburb. and among the
things he said was this: Men in the
world must earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows. but the student
can acquire knowledge quite vicari-
ously, without having to exert himself
for it. He should be made to think
his way out of difficulties himself"
Doctor Hibben declared that colleges
connive in the tendency of the under
graduate to postpone until tomorrow
the task of today by making his work
agreeable The teacher helps him
over any ificulty.-Hartford Courant

Damage to State Tobacco Crop.


The loss on Wisconsin tobacco
this year will amount into the
millions. possibly ten per cent of the
entire crop being best quality, though
shed burn may cause still further
losses. The weather has been too wet
for proper curing in the shed.
Some farmers are building fires IN
der the tiers to preserve the shielded
weed.
Following close upon the recent dis
astrous hailstorm, the growing dis
tricts of the southern portion of the
state were deIuged with an eighth inch
rain which flooded the lowlands.
Reports of hail damage in sections
between Madison and Mcfarland,
about Sun Prairie and in Vernon
county bring further discouraging
news.
Possibly 10 to % per cent of the
crop had been harvested before these
disasters appeared and large por-
ton of that has been rendered almost
worthless.
New stemming goods will largely
predominant in the crop.
The income from tobacco in Wis
consin has been estimated at $6,000,
600 a year. 1t may reach 100000
this year.

Warns AGAINST Disease.

The attention of stockmen and
farmers is called by State Veterinarian
o. H. EIiason to outbreaks OF bemorr-
hagic septicemia
Where several cattle die in short
succession symptoms Of this disease
should be looked for" declares Doc
tor Eliason. "One symptom is bleed
ing from the nostrils"
Doctor Eliason says that a careful
autopsy conducted by veterinarian
may disclose the disease in many IN
suspected cases. About fourteen years
ago an extensive outbreak occurred.
DR.. H. L. Russell found that by stalk
ing the well animals On stubble ground
at some distance from the sick ones
the disease may be checked.
This is the only preventive means
which has been found said Doctor
Eliason. THE veterinarians of this
department and those of the college
of agriculture are using every effort
to produce a vaccine for experimental
purposes"

AsyIums' Upkeep Costs Million.
Wisconsin spent SLOT ,595.57 for
the care of insane, feeble-minded and
tubercular patients during the past
year according to the complete audit
issued by the state board of control
Of this total $617 1862 was paid by
the state and $460,259.95 by the coun-
ties.
The biggest item of this total is for
the care of patients in county asy-
lums. The state in 1915 paid S519.-
08475 and the counties S149, 675.44 for
the care of these unfortunates
According to the board of control
figures, there are $3.50 insane and
feeble-minded patients confined in the
various state and county institutions
in Wisconsin. This total, however
includes a large number of nOnresi-
dent patients. Both state and county
pay $1.75 a week for the care of insane
and feeble-minded patients and So
weekly is given to the institutions for
the care of tubercular patients.

DUG ITSELF OUT OF PIT
Been Credited to Steam-ShoVeI
at New York.

When a steam-shoveI had excavated
a pit in connection with some grade
crossing work near New York, it ex-
tricated itself by burrowing down still
further until it reached a convenient
subway and then trundled itself out
on the rails. The story is told in
Engineering News, which calls it a
tale Of resourcefuIness in operating
steam-shovel" We read:
The shovel was used in
making the second cut in a section OF
the Embarrassing elimination work
which the Long Island railroad has
had under way for the last three
years in East New York. When this
section of the second cut had been
finished, the disposition of the shovel
presented something of a problem. t
would not do to lift it out of the cut,
because the slopes might slide. nor
could it be backed out by the way it
had entered. because of the timbering
in the rear The four tubes If
the tunnel had been completed to a
point where the second cut on this sec
tion began 1t was decided that the
simplest way of moving the shovel to
the surface was to have it dig it's own
way down to one of the concrete
tubes. the floor of which was % feet
below the floor of the second cut, and
then to run the shovel out to the por-
tai on the track laid inside the tube.
The spoil handled by the shovel
was lifted out of the cat by a
crane equipped with a bucket. In
order to keep the water distributed
uniformly in the boiler and the fire
burning properly. the rear truck Of the
shovel was removed and the shovel
skidded on timbers down an Is per
cent grade. Walter n. Gahagan. the
contractor, states that the entire OPP
Grafton was performed without any
particular difficulty"
