 RID PRAIRIE DOCS
Government Agents Seek to EX- terminate Pest in Prescott
 National Forest.

PRESCOTT. July l9 Donald A. GHchrest. biological assistant in the Biological Survey, United States de- partment of agriculture, has arrived in Prescott for the purpose of extermi- mating prairie dogs on the Prescott National Forest. Mir Guchrest will have a party of three men, team and wagon. saddle horses and camp equip ment necessary 10 carry on his work. The wagon will be equipped with tank in which to mix the poisoned oats with which to poison these range pests m
 The party is fully equipped and will leave Prescott today for the Will Hanson valley range MT. Gichrest states that the work will be continued until an the prairie dogs on the Pres colt National Forest are eXterminated and the party will continue their present work until November, 1915, and will resume operations in the spring of 1916.
 The poisoning of prairie dog ope- rauons by this party will be confined, during the present trip, to forest land on the Prescott National Forest only and this work cannot be extended to private or patented land. MT Gil- christ is authorized. however, to mix poison for such owners of private land who will furnish the material for the mixture He is also authorized to con duct in some cases practical demon strations on a small scale of the meth cd of poisoning, for the benefit of the owners Of private or patented land
 The plan followed by this biological survey party is to systematically drop into each prairie dog hole poisoned oats which kills the dogs or any other animal occupant of the prairie dog hole.

BEN GREET PLAYERS

One of the most interesting
events of the summer will be an
open air performance Of the Ben
Greet Woodland Players W h o
will present "The Tanning of the
Shrewn on June 9, 1915 at Rive
Falls Wis. The play will be given
on the campus with no scenery
save Natures own, of trees and
shrubbery. The stage is lighted
at night by battery Of powerful
calcium lights by means of which
all the color effects shown in
theater, are given. There is a
charm and illusion about open
air performances that attracts the
most jaded theater goer. All of
the artificialities Of the theater
are swept away and simplicity is
the keynote of the presentations.
Elsie Herndon Kearns will ap-
pear in the principal feminine
role. She is a graduate Of Smith
College having begun her stage
career during her junior year
when she played the title role in
"Hamlet." Immediately after her
graduation, she was engaged by
Mr.. Winthrop Ames for prominent
parts in the New Theater Com
pany, New York City. During
her three years there she repre-
scented the characters in Sister
Beatrice; Strife; Castles in tn e
Air; The Witch; The Blue Bird ;
appearing as we'll in the leading
feminine roles in Shakespearean
revivals. Since then she has ap-
peared with Marie Tempest in
"Vanity Fair" in the "Prodigal
Judge" and other plays. She is
one of the few young women on
the stage who have been success
full in serious work, and she has
justly won the right to have her
name in big type on the posters
of the Ben Greet Woodland Play
ers.

FIRE Threatens GARAGE

The fire department was called
out about seven o'clock Tuesday
evening to fire which for a time
threatened the destruction of Chas.
Meyers garage, on the South Side.
The blaze is thought to have start
ed from the careless throwing of a
lighted match into pile of oil
soaked rubbish. No damage was
done and the services of the de-
partment were not needed to ex-
tinguish the fire.

Did You Know This About
0steopathy?

That it is never rough, never
drastic, never complicated; that its
treatments are seldom lengthy,
and almost always successful
when properly administered: that
it has cured literally thousands of
cases of disease and bodily all
ments which drugs had absolute
ly failed to benefit; that it does
away with most Of the unplea-
santness caused by medical exam
nations and courses of treatment;
that instructions as to dieting and
exercise are given by Osteopathic
Physicians in addition to their
actual practice; that the entire
processes of nutrition, circulation
secretion, and absorption in the
body are controlled in some way
or other by nerves, and that OS-
TEOPATHY concerns itself with
their regulation and correction in
a SENSIBLE and SAFE MANNER
(all disease is due to an interrupt
ton or irregularity of one of these
processes); that the pressure Of
bones or tissues on nerves causes
more ellis" than almost anything
else, and that OSTEOPATHY will
MORE QUICKLY RELIEVE THEM
than anything else?
That the HUMAN BODY is like
a big machine, intricate in it's APP

less known in it's minutest details

GREAT GAIN RECORDED

DR.. Louis Frank, a member of
one of Milwaukee's pioneer fami-
lies, has completed a medical his
tory of Milwaukee which is Of
great interest and value to the
people of the entire state.
To my mind. nothing in DIR.
Franks book is more illuminating
than the tables in which he shows
of what diseases the people died,
year by year, for the past forty
years. AS a part of this study,
he has compiled a table showing
the important causes Of death for
the last twenty years as compar-
ed the preceding twenty.
Today, as you frequently see
in reports from Health Depart
ments, pneumonia and tuberculosi
are the most frquent causes Of
death, whereas from 1870 to 1891
commissions and intestinal dis
eases of childhood headed the list.
During the last twenty years, con-
vulsions is tenth, due to more in
telligent feeding and care of in
fants. Whereas smallpox ranked
fourth as the cause Of death from
1870 to 1891. from 1892 to 1914 it is
at the bottom Of the list. Prac-
ii cally no deaths are due to small
pox today.
Diphtheria changed it's posi-
ton from fifth in the early peri
Tod to eleventh in the latter peri
cd. Antitoxin is mainly respon-
sible for this decrease. Scarlet
fever was seventh from 1870 to
1891; from 1892 to 1914 it was fiji
| teenth. Better quarantine secur-
ed this increased salty. Menin-
gi.i5 was relatively much less i'm
portant in the last twenty years
than il was in the preceding TWEEN
ty years; typhoid and measles
somewhat less.
The abrupt jumps upward in the
second period from the posi- -ior
occupi ed in early period are made
by kidney disease from seventeen
tn sixth; cancer from foureentf
to fifth; heart disease from tenth
to { third; and pneumonia from
sixth to first.
DR.. Franks table is not built OF
actual in crease or decrease in mum
bers but upon chlnge OF posi- i0n
| Obviously, therefore, when small
pox drops from near the top o
one column to the bottom of it
parallel column, it has had t
crowd more common diseases near
er the head of the list. Never
the less, this gives point and gen
eral confirmation to t h e trutl
recently pointed out in this col
umn, that the common diseases o
life are growing less and the de
generative diseases of adult life
are increasing.
The above gains offer encour
agement to, and great promise
from increasing intelligent care o
infants; antitoxin in all cases o
diph he'll and membranous Group
and enforcing quarantine in /
aCses of scarlet fever.

TRACK MEET

Tuesday bunch of Normal boys
went up to New Richmond to COM
pete with the New Richmond High
School bunch for track honors.
The result of the meet was New
Richmond so point, River Falls 40
points.
The Normal car took fifteen or
sixteen boys up and as they were
far outnumbered by the New Rich
mond athletics they were somewhat
handicapped in the process of point
winning. Lynn White, who is
counted as one of the best middle
distance runners in the Normal,
was unable to go to New Richmond
on account of illness. Karl Cobb,
who was expected to carry off all
honors in the jumps, sprained his
ankle the first time he jumped and
SO increased the handicap.
The track was in poor condition
and the short and middle distance
runners from the Normal were un.
able to do much on it. New Rich
mond carried off the short dashes
and high jumps while River Falls
came out ahead in the long runs
and with the weights.

Serious Auto Accident

Late reports from Fanny Allen hosp
| tai state that the condition of Ear
Kramer who was taken there last Wed
nesday night, following an auto acci
dent in Morrisville, still remains critical
The operation last Saturday night re.
leved the intense pain in his chest, and
it is given out that he has fighting
chance of recovery. One danger at pres.
ent is the possibility of the development
of pneumonia. Mr.. and Mrs. Kramer
are both in Burlington.
The accident happened between six
and seven O'Clock last Wednesday night,
as Karl was returning from the Fair in
company with w. d. Utton and others.
When in front of the Benson residence,
Karl started to cross the road and
stepped in front OF a seven.passenger
Hudson touring car, owned by Nj. A.
Jenkins of Bradford and driven by his
son, E. NJ. Jenkins, and going up the
hill toward the Fair gronnd. The car
was running at a moderate rate of speed

FIRE IN TIFT BLOCK
Charles Tinker Receives Serious Burns. Blaze
Starts From Gasolene Torch.

The fire gong was sounded shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock this morning for blaze in
the Tilt block. which was started in the
stairway leading to the basement, where
tional plumbing for the new school
rooms. Charles Tinker was unsoldering
some pipes when the torch he was
holding flashed up and burned both of
Mr. Tinker's hands seriously. The skin
was entirely burned from the right hand
but the left hand was not so badly in
jured. He was taken to a physician and
the alarm was promptly responded to
by the fire department. Charles showed
good nerve in walking to Gates store to
give the alarm and then back to the Tiff
Block before being taken to the doctors
office.
The fire was confined to the cellarway
and partitions, but the rooms on both
the first and second floors were filled
with smoke, there being some damage by
smoke and water.
The desks and books which had been
moved to the rooms for the use of the
seventh, eighth and ninth grades of the
graded school, were moved into the
street and not damaged.
The School Directors had previously
decided not to begin the term in these
grades for a week or two, as the plumb
ing for the toilets in the basement was
not completed The fire will probably
not prolong the delay.
