"The great trouble with this form
OF punishment Is that the crimes

terms that the courts hand them.
Nearly all men are emo

are committed during some
sudden stress OF emotion. The
deed occurs before the man
comes back to his senses and
realizes what he has done.
But the law and the courts
make tne man come mere Tor y

crimes which are really the

You wouldn't think OF locking

DRUG STORES

ClNCE the first of the year, 65 new drug
~ stores have sprung up in King county,
according TO county officials good many
of these have been established in the city.
ALL these new drug stores cannot be sup

tously or in reason believe that all OF them
are on the square.
There 10 no use beating about the bush.
Great quantities of liquor are being sold
and some of the old drug stores ~ well ~
some of the new ones are making farce of
the prohibition law.
Drunkenness in Seattle is becoming al
most as common as ii was before the state

THOUGHTFUL.
CONSIDERATION

Employees of the Nekoosa Edwards
Paper Company and the Consolidated
Water Power & Paper Company re-
ceived letters today notifying them
that special pay check amounting to
six dollars will be given out to each
man once a month. This plan was
decided upon by the directors of each
company with the view of offsetting
to some extent the present high cost
of food and other necessities of life.
It is understood by the men that this
extra payment is in the nature of a
"war measure" and will be discontin-
ued upon thirty days notice when the
cost of living returns again to its nor
NAL level
The first set of checks will be Civ
en- out some time during the first part
of December and will be based on the
November pay roll.

N0ANNA|ACA~A wa
The sale of five million seals and
the accumulation of FIVE million pen
MES for continuing and extending the
fight against tuberculosis in Wiscon-
sin is the goal which has been set.
With strong determination to regain
for Wisconsin the place which it lost
to New York last year for the first
time in the history of the national
movement for financing the fight a.
gainst tuberculosis by the sale of seals,
the campaign has been organized both
earlier and more extensively than in
preceding years.
Wisconsin must lead the states of
it's class in the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals. This is the slogan.
The large seal is made necessary both
by the increasing demands which are
made each year on the state associa-
ton and by the fact that never before
in the history of the state campaign
have so many communities been inter-
ested in supporting health agencies
for which funds are required. In a
large number Of cities, local associa-
tons or committees affiliated with the
state association will retain half of
their seal sale for the financing of To-
cal work In the majority of instanc-
es, the money will be devoted to the
salary of school nurse. In some in
stances this work is already estab-
lished and in others the 1916 sale will
be used as q means of securing the
nursing service
The mail sale, which was tried out
last year as an experiment, proved
such success that at least twenty CT
ties in the state will use the plant this
year. It has been found that business
men especially appreciate the conven-
fence of the mail sales plan and that
in this way maximum Of people are
reached in a minimum Of time, thus
greatly facilitating the campaign by
personal solicitation.
In order to meet the expected de-
mand for seals, the Wisconsin associa-
ton has placed its order for $4,000,
900 seals. During last years large
sale, II was found necessary to buy
seals from other states in order to
meet demands.
