SAVE The BIRDS

The thick coating Of ice which COW
ers the larger part of the state of
Wisconsin, makes it impossible for the
birds to secure sufficient food. This
condition augmented by spells of Sc
we're weather threatens the destruc-
ton of many of our birds if our citi-
zens do not come to the rescue of
these helpless creatures during this
unusual spell, which will probably con-
tinue for several weeks.
Every citizen is earnestly requested
to scatter food where it will be ac-
cessible to the birds, and the farmers
should give particular attention to the
quail and prairie chicken which are
suffering from this famine and will
perish if left to the mercy of the ele-
ments. A few shelves of grain are
well suited to this purpose and the
sweepings of barns, graneries and
sheds are excellent if properly placed.
Wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat
may be scattered in covering of
straw.
The Rod and Gun Clubs through
out the state should give their services
to this movement, and by thorough
cooperation on the part of all good
citizens, thousands of birds will be
saved.

PNEUMONIA

Ten per cent Of the deaths in the
United States result from pneumonia
1t is estimated that during the past
thirty days this rate has been doubled
in some sections. tuberculosis and
heart disease, each causing one-ninth
of all fatalities, are the only diseases
which outrank pneumonia among the
legion of the men of death, but in GER
tain cities pneumonia is steadily in
creasing and even has surpassed the
mortality from tuberculosis. Seventy
per cent of all cases occur between De-
cember and May. 1t is distinctly a
cold weather infection, seemingly
brought by wintry blasts, but especial
ly prevalent during the winter season
only because its victims are rendered
more susceptible at that time by ex-
posture, facilitating influences and the
presence of predisposing infections.
Pneumonia principally affects those
at the extremes Of life, but no age is
exempt. It is invariably a germ dis
ease. The predisposing and exciting
organisms are so numerous that it
would be futile to attempt their enum-
Grafton. Many Of them are constantly
present in the mouths and threats of
healthy persons and it is only through
the aid which we unwittingly extend to
them that they are transformed from
harmless organisms to one of mans
most powerful enemies.
The presence of other diseases is the
great predisposing cause of pneumo-
MIA. They prepare the soil for inva-
sion. Holding first rank in this cate
cory is influenza, the increased Incl
dence of pneumonia at this time be-
ing largely due to the present epidemic
of la grippe. Individuals suffering
from this infection are peculiarly sus-
ceptlble to respiratory complications
and should properly observe every by
gienic rule. Inflammation of the up
per air passages, pharyingitis, bron-
chitis, and tonsilitis, often predispose
to the Development of the disease,
particularly among the aged and in
firm. The acute contagious diseases
of childhood, more especially measles
and whooping cough, frequently pre-
pare the way for pneumonia. Anyone
who through neglect or carelessnes.
permits the spread Of these infections
is therefore open to the severest con-
demnation. Exhausting disease ofwhat
to cope with organisms which should
duce our resistance that we are unable
ever nature, is often sufficient to so re-
be easily overcome, and hence predis-
poses to the infection.
Debility, either temporary or chron-
ic, developing from any cause, increas-
es susceptibility. Because Of this the
disease most often attacks those at
the extremes of life. Among debilita-
ting influences must be mentioned cold
exposure to penetrating winds, and
the chilling of body surfaces as re
suit Of wetting.

Aberdeen, WATERFOWL, Huron, Sioux

of proposed option. A channel that
would form a short cut for the big

Madison, Wis, Feb. 8.-Wisconsin
farmers are instructed in various ways
of constructing a water system on

agricultural committee. The bulletin
states that farmer should figure that
it will take twenty-five gallons of wa
ter day for each person, ten for each
horse and COW; and two for hogs and
sheep.
The three systems described in the
bulletin are the elevated tank, air and

rect from the well. The latter is the
latest development in water supply
systems and costs about $500 to in

DON'T WINK IN THE DARK.

The man who stops his little ad
Is not so very wise, bedad;
Because his advertisements tell
The public what he has to sell,
And if his ad is not on deck
The people pass him up, by heck;
And none of them will hesitate
To trade with merchants up to date.
To stop your ad, we would remark,
Is just like winking in the dark;
You may know what it means, but gee
Nobody else ca ever see.

That when you cut out printers ink
You're saving money on the side;
