Is the Plea

A CHAIN Of great national parks for the
u people of America. and q Government
4 service that shall advertise. equip and
make accessible to the public these nu-
tional play places. Is the pan that has the
cooperation Of the Secretary Of the Interior.
Franklin X. Lane. and other Government off,
Gals at Washington. During the present ses.
sion Of Congress q bill to create q National
Park Service will be introduced. This bill,
which Is now being prepared by the American
Civic Association. proposes to bring order out
Of the present chaotic conditions that exist
with regard to the administration Of our ma
tional parks.
There are now fourteen Of these great parks
that have been set aside by acts of Congress
for the benefit of IT," American people. They
are the SequOia and General Grant National
Parks In Southern California, the Mount
Arkansas, the Yellowstone In northwestern
Wyoming, the. Yosemite In California. the
Crater Lake In southern Oregon. the Glacier
National Park In Montana. the Wind Cave in
South Dakota, the Mesa Verde and the Rocky
Mountain Parks In Colorado. the Casa Grande
In Arizona. the Platte In Oklahoma and Sully's
Hill in North Dakota.
The mountains, glaciers. geysers. rivers.
trees and wild flowers Of these parks consti-
tute n variety OF scenery unsurpassed by any
thing In Europe. yet the most OF 1t Is compara-
lively unknown to the people Of this country.
Before the European war American tourists
spent approximately five hundred million dol.
lars every year seeing Europe. This year they
have discovered America. During the sum-
mer just past our national parks were visited
by two and a half times as many people as had
ever entered their gates during any previous
summer. and Americans for the first time spent
one hundred million dollars to see their own
country.
Congress apprOpriates each year a separate
fund for the maintenance Of every national park.
Some Of these funds are administered by the
War Department. others by the Department Of
the Interior. Hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars have been spent by the Government to
maintain Its parks. but these appropriations
have rarely been disbursed by men who had
expert knowledge Of national parks and their
aeeds.
The cause Of national parks is becoming a
popular one. not only at Washington, but

That's What Everybody Thinks

Wausau's daily is receiving some
hard knocks about the state because
of it's stand that:circuses should be
prohibited The latest is from the
Appleton Post Read it:
1.-THE editor of the Wausau Record
Herald must have a dead soul. He
must never have been boy. He must
have no kids of his own, nor any
sympathy with the kids of others.
He must just simply have appeared
in his editorial chair, or perhaps
grown in it. If it were not impolite
we should say he must have no bowels.
He must think of nothing but politics
and political economy. He must be
obsessed by the duties of life. He
must have no time for the joyous
things that make living sweet. He
must be an icOnOclast, an idol
breaker, and a pessimist.
In short he dOesen't believe in the
circus. He would have all circuses
abolished. He would spend his
money for higher things. And he
wouldn't let anyone else enjoy the
circus. He would say to them: Shoe,
we don't want you around. You dis
tract us from our business. You
separate us from our coin. You are
altogether useless. Get Out = We
are glad he dOesen't live in Apple

WATCH THE DISEASE MOON.

A contagious disease almanac"
which shows the waxing and waning
of certain diseases instead of the cor
responding changes in the moon, has
been prepared by the Wisconsin Press
bureau for the purpose of forecasting
possible epidemicS and to provide
seasonable warning and danger sig
nails" for Wisconsin people. 1t covers
the most important preventable dis
eases in Wisconsin and shows by
months when they are most prevalent
and when least to be feared. The in
formation should be of practical value
to parents, teachers and health
officers.
Did you chance to know, for
instance, that January brings the
largest number of deaths from diph-
liberia and Group of any months in
the year, that it is one of three for
the maximum number of cases OF
whOoping cough, and is the beginning
of the scarlet fever danger season Z
Typhoid alone, of all the leading in
fictitious diseases which cause death
in Wisconsin, is on the wane during
this month, which marks the develop
ing of many cases of measles and the
recognition of many cases of tuber-
culOsis.
Much of interest and value is to be
gained by consulting this almanac
which is based on accurate scientific
knowledge.
September shows a decrease in
measles and scarlet fever, but there
is marked increase in both diseases
in October and November.
Whooping cough has its greatest
death record in January, February,
March and April, and it's lowest in
June and August, begins its ANIMAL in
crease in September.
October ranks next to January fol
deaths from diphtheria and Group
December is third and November
fourth in mortality from these dis
eases. tuberculosis, which invariably
shows it's largest number of reported
cases and deaths during the quarter
year which includes April, May anC
June, begins its annual increase il
| October.
These diseases might all be wiped
out of existence by proper sanitation
hygienic living, and strict quarantine

The War Bond Scare.

Somebody is bound to keep this
country continually in hot water.
The desirability of strict neutrality
was never more evident than at this
time.
Just now the friends of the German
cause are using the 'War Loan Scare"
to prevent the Allies from borrowing
in this country. The method employ
ed is anything but conducive to the
well being of this country. America
First" should be our morning prayer.
We cannot afford to do a single act
which will injure the present and
future welfare of our country.
American bankers are at this
moment interviewed regarding large
war loan by the Allies. We can trust
the American banker. He under
stands full well the slogan American
Money for American Development.
Wausau Bankers are not interested
in "War Loans" Wausau bankers
are ever loyal to the community from
which they receive their deposits.
Let no one worry about "War Bonds, "
Wausau Banks will not buy them.

THE TRAIL OF THE
LONESOME PINE.

Eugene Walters dramatization of
THE Trail of the Lonesome Pine" is
full of comedy touches in the love-
making scenes between Young Dave
and June, and between June and Jack
Hale, as we'll as that lent to the
bright spirits of Berkeley, Jacks chum,
and the homely wit and philosophy of
Uncle Billy Beans, the Justice of the
Peace.
The play opens at sunset on the
trail, and closes at sunrise. Those
who have read the book will certainly
want to see June and follow the
feudists through the hills, hear their
peculiar cries as they signal to each
other, observe the meeting of Jack
and June near the pool by the lonely
pine, and see the closing picture of
these two romantic lovers standing
beneath the pines and looking out
over into the valley as they are join
ed together as man and wife, by the
old Justice of the Peace.
The book has had over 5000, 900
readers

DR.. KONsTANTIN T. DUMBA, Aus
trian ambassador to the United States,
has virtually admitted the charge
that he would try to close munitions
plants in the United States, and a
demand has been made by President
Wilson that the Austrian government
recall him.
A document to the Austrian premier
was found on one Archibald, an
alleged newspaperman in London. He
was earring it TO Vienna. In it Dr.
Dumba said that with sufficient
money he could close many plants
now shipping munitions to the allies.
The ambassador has explained since
that he merely meant he could induce
native AustrianS and Huns to quit
these plants.

While Henry Osswald's bakery de-
livery rig was delivering goods at
Koschmann'S store, at 1927 Third
street, at about 10 O'Clock this NOR
ming, the horses became frightened at
the dropping of an auto top near by
and down the street they ran. They
collided with telephone pole at the
st. Paul r. R. crossing, breaking the
neckyoke and tongue of the wagon,
freeing them and landing the horses
at home, none the worse for their
brisk exercise.
The state fair opened yesterday in
Milwaukee and will continue through
the week. Many are in attendance
from Wausau. The outlook for good
weather conditions does not look very
promising, but if it should turn
around and be warm and pleasant
the attendance promises to be the
largest in history.

CHARCOAL AS CURE
FOR CONSTIPATION
Trouble Is Easily Started and
the Hog Breeder Must Be on
Constant Lookout.

The hog feeder must watch out for
constipation, because it is so easily
started, and can easily lead to other
troubles. A sure safeguard against
constipation and similar troubles is
proper feeding. 1t is best not to over
feed the pigs, but rather let them be
eager for their feed and clean it up
quickly. Allow them free access to
wood ashes and charcoal. The char
coal is a tonic, and the wood ashes
build bone as well as keep them in
good condition. Bone ash is good to
supply material for the bones.
The most convenient way to secure
the charcoal is to burn corncobs.
Rake the cobs into windrow, and
start them burning by means of cobs
dipped in kerosene and placed in the
windrow at short intervals. When
they have burned enough scatter
them so they will not burn any more.
1t is a good plan to sprinkle little
salt over the charred cobs, but this
is not necessary.
Pigs should, of course, have pasture
when it is available. Besides the eff
feet of the pasture in balancing the
ration and causing growth, the exer-
else taken in getting the grass is bene-
fetal to the pigs.
