STICK TO 1T
Until Coffee Hits You: Hard.

1t is about as well to advise people
to stick to coffee until they get hit
hard enough so that they will never
forget their experience.
A woman writes and her letter is
condensed to give the facts in a short
space:
Il was a coffee slave and stuck to it

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended In the Campaign
Against tuberculosis Will Surely
Have Its Effect.

More than 2O,5OO, 900 was spent last
year in the campaign against tubercu-
losis in the United States OF this
sum 66.S per cent was derived from
public funds, either federal, state,
county or municipal, and the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
throphy. These are some of the in
teresting figr contained in the an
nual statistict statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, made pub
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from anti-tuberculosis agencies To-
Gated throughout the country, but
where reports are not available, the
figures have been estimated
Institutional care and treatment of
consumptives in hospitals and sana-
toria makes up the largest share of
the total expenditure. More than $17.-
100000 was spent for this purpose.
with an additional S925,000 for sps-
cial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
in some instances the cost of construc-
ton Of institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum. amounting to a little over $780,
000.. Care Of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much, approximately $S6OOO0. The
growth of the open-air school move
ment is shown in the fact that, last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose, as against $4,000 ex-
pended five ye RS ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work.

Former Governor MeGov-
ern as Escort.

Madison.-Emanuel l. Philip of
Milwaukee took the oath of Office as
governor OF Wisconsin in the assembly
chamber of the capitol. in enc of the
most notable inaugural ceremonies
ever witnessed in Madison.
Rich and impressive in its simple
fty, the occasion was given unusual
color by the character of the great
crowd that more than filed the as
sembly chamber. 1t was a cosmopoli-
tan crowd, nonpartisan in its aspects,
business labor. the clergy, in fact,
every line of human activity in the
state being represented by meL and
women from all corners of Wisconsin
The personal escort of nearly eight
hundred Milwaukeeans was a notable
expression of confidence in the ability
of Governor Philip to carry out his
platform pledges in a manner salts
factory to the people of Wisconsin.
Never before upon any occasion has
Milwaukee sent out such large dele
cation. Madison, accustomed to the
passing and coming of governors, was
deeply impressed by the brilliant spec
tacle.
The occasion was spoken of as a
melting pot of politics. Comments
centered. not so much in what the
new governor may outline in his mes.
sage to the legislature, or what APP
pointments he may make. but in the
nor partisan aspects of the Inaugural
tion. A general air of good fellow
ship and optimism prevailed. The

rounded out the inaugural program,
which lasted but a few minutes. Mr..
Philip requested that all frills be
eliminated. and the Madison commit
tee on arrangements followed his In
struetions in making the program sim

Mr.. Bagley announced that the state
officers would hold a public reception
in their Office. Each office was deco
rated IN flowers and American flags.
Governor Philip met and shook
hands with several hundred people.
At times the rush became so great
that men in uniform insisted that
callers form line.
The throne room, adjacent to the
governors private Office and used as
public reception room on state oc-
casions. was ae-hred by thousands Of
people. Rich paintings depicting the
history of Wisconsin and the general
softness of the decorations made a
striking background for the public re-
ception. ts E,}j

Economy, Efficiency, to Be Keynote.
Gov. Emanuel L. Philip stands out
as the central figure overshadowing
all else in Wisconsin's state capital
Men who seem destined to play lead
ing roles in the legislature and citi-
zens who take an active interest In
public affairs say that the most i'm
portant legislation to be taken up at
the session, which eonvenes here
January 10. will come from the newly
elected governor when he announces
his program for the reorganization of
the state government
Men who are near to Mr.. Phillip
and have discussed with him his mes
sage to the Legislature declare that
the keynote of his message will be
economy in state government with no
sacrifice OF efficiency in any depart
ment. The governors specific pro-
gram of reorganization win not be
made known until he communicates
with the legislature.
'"rhe governor occupies a central
position" said H. ]. Mortonson, La
Toilette candidate for the assembly
speakership His proposed reorgani-
cation of departmental service goes to
the very fundamentals of state gov
eminent. 1t is a matter of immense
Importance and stands out as the
most important legislation to be con.
sidered."
81 am under the impression that
the governor will recommend econ
omy with no sacrifice of efficiency
when he makes known his ideas on
the reorganization of state depart
ments," said George p. Hambrecht,
who is gaining strength as candi-
date for the. speakership. Governor
Philip has given this subject a great
deal of personal attention. The mat
ter has been discussed before tie peo-
pie of the state, and at Ibis time
know of no other legislation OF so
much Importance Any suggestion
from the governor to change the sys.
tenn of government, will cover wide
scope, and will mean the introduction
of several bills"

While there has been a political
revolution, while there has been
quickening of the consciences of the
people of America, there has also
been a change in the consciences OF
corporations, for after all, these
corporations are made up of men,
operated by men, policies are made
by men, and work is executed by
men.
Whether the nation by law prohib-
its the sales OF wcr munitions or not
the consciences Of people are inter

sible that if the warning nations
have the money they can buy here
what they want If one company
does not furnish il another will, but
the companies that decline to make
these sales are TO be commended.
They have the argument that If they
do not make sales other companies
will. but they do not hide behind
that excuse A man had as well say
that he would make the theft of a
horse because he knew some one
else would do so.
The American people are to b.
congratulated that "soulless corpora

the past. They exist principally in
the minds of men who are opposed
to business organizations, and to
fellows who seek to make themselves
popular by being bitter in their crit
icisms of companies that stand for
business progress and commercial
activity.
