give them a chance for life. They help
to carry on this good work in many
ways among. which are the following
Provide for nurses, who bring instruc-
ton and cheer to the patients; they
help to maintain dispensaries in many
cities, where these patients receive
treatment, aid and advice; they pro-
vide means for the purchase of litera-
ture with (which the public has been
educated about this dread disease; /;
they have established and helped to
keep up open-air schools for children
who need the open-air treatment, and
numerous other ways.
Last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. w. A.
Evers and Mrs. w. E. Hudtloff visited
the public and parochial schools of
the city in the interest of Christine S
seals. Supt S. B. Tobey had given his
consent to school children selling
stamps Children under nine years of
age will not be allowed to do any sell
ing. The school children have also
been instructed not to sell any stamps
in the business district of the city,
as all places of business have been
solicited. Last year the children did
not sell the stamps and the proceeds did
not nearly reach the mark of previous
years when they have assisted. Com
plant in previous years has also been
made as to annoyance caused by chill
dren visiting homes several times.
This year the Health committee of
the Ladies' Literary club or the local
Anti-Tuberculosis association wants
each home to place "a Christmas seal
above their door bells, where no more
stamps are desired, and by doing this,
will not be asked again. The commit
tee are also sending out a certain num-
Der of seals to citizens in Wausau, and
if they are not wanted, to be returned.
This plan has met with success in
many cities. We must remember that
one-half of the proceeds go toward the
care of tubercular patients in our city
and our county, while the other half
goes to help in the state work.
Mis- Tessendorf of the Infirmary, has
given out thirteen quarts of milk daily
and also eggs when needed, and when
fresh eggs can be obtained, to tuber-
cular patients in the city. She has re-
ported that she could use more milk
for this purpose.
The Federated Charities<of Wausau
also help in this organized education
al fight against tuberculosis.
The local Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton use this money received from the
sale of Christmas seals to purchase
sweaters, heavy bath robes, blankets,
warm shoes, etc., for people afflicted
with this disease in Wausau and Mara
thon county that are sent to sana-
toriums to be cared fod. The cause
is one which should appeal to every
one, and it is hoped many will buy
Christmas stamps this year.

w. d. KOLLOCK is DEAD
Succurnbs to Cerebral Hemorrhage at
st. Michaers Hospital Wednesday

Wellington Dickinson Kollock, aged
5S, passed away at st. Michael's hos
pital Wednesday afternoon at 1925
O'Clock. Mr.. Kollock was taken to
the hospital Nov. IA, remaining there
until his death. He had been able
to work and be around until the time
he was taken to the hospital. The
cause of his death was a cerebral
hemorrhage.
Mr.. Kollock was born il the town
of Buena Vista, Nov. 20, 1858. In 1863,
when he was 5 years of age, he moved
to this city with his mother and re-
mained here until 1873 after which
they moved back to a farm in the town
of>Almond. They remained there un-
til 1879 when they moved to Las Vegas,
~ NJ, remaining there until 1882, when
they returned to Wautoma, where Mr..
Kollock was united in marriage to
Miss Minnie M. Munson. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kollock later moved to Merrill. In
1897 they moved to Wausau and in
1908 returned to this city. They re-
mained here until 1910, when they
returned to their farm in the town
of Almond where they had since re-
sided.
William D. Kollock was the son of
Nelson Kollock, who was born in New
Brunswick, June %, 1880, son of Shep-
herd F. and Mary Eliza F1aylor)
Kollock, who were the parents of nine
children. The mother died when Mel
son was small boy and soon after,
in 1886, the bereaved father brought
Detroit, Mich, and remained there
four years. William, the eldest son,
had in the meantime gone to Wisconsin
and purchased land in Waukesha
county and thither the father and his
remaining children followed in 1910.
He died three years later.
Nelson was 16 years of age when,
in 1916, he and his brother, Henry,
decided to leave the shelter of their
eldest brothers home and strike out
for themselves in life. They went
into the dense forest region of
the upper Wisconsin river valley and
travelled afoot distance of nearly
200 miles. For six years they labored
in the min cries then with their Savin pS
came to the town of Almond Portage
county, and jointly purchased tract
of 800 acres, at that time unsurveyed.
They afterward perfected the claim
and worked industriously at the clear
ing, adding to the farm from time to
time until it included 500 acres.
( Wellington Kollock is survived by
his wife and five children, who are
Frank, Ivy Depot, Va; Mrs. L. S. Hill,
Albany, N. Y; Mrs. Paul Somers,
Bancroft; and the Misses Louise and
Florence Kollock at home. He is also
survived by four grandchildren.
The funeral will be held Friday -af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock from the Epis-
copal rectory with interment in For
est cemetery. The Rev. E. Croft Gear

LETTER BOX ON CAR
Street Railway Company Makes Every
Car a Mail Carrier.

Kansas City, Mo. Oct. 27.-Plans
providing for letter boxes on all street
cars in Kansas City were completed
here recently by Bayliss Steele, post
master Of Kansas City and the pres
ident of the local street railway COM
pany. The project as outlined pro-
vides for letter box on the front end
of every car. The boxes are to be
placed on the outside of the cars and
the cars will stop at any block to
receive mail when signalled. The
privilege is to be extended to first
class mail only and no packages will
be received.
1t is planned to have receiving
points at which the mail will be COL
lected every trip. Letters will be re-
ceived between 1920 in the morning
and $3.50 at night.
Postoffice officials assert the plan
should prove a success in Kansas City.
1t has been tried in several other cities
and operated advantageously accord
ing to the local postal department
Some fear, however. is expressed that
the system will retard the car service.
With the adoption of the plan, the
street cars will be placed in the same
category with trains carrying mail
and will be entitled to protection from
the federal government in the event of
a strike or any disaster, according to
the belief expressed by some officials

HUGHES ANSWERS
Outlines Policies in Case He Is
Next President.
Fair Government Action to
Both Capital and Labor.

Albany, N z, Oct 27.-Republi-
can Nominee Hughes made his third
incursion into the Empire state today.
1t was his seventh visit to Albany since
he started on his presidential cam
paign. Hughes was scheduled for four
speeches today-at Utica, Auburn.
Geneva and Rochester, the last named
tonight.
Hughes was in unusually high spir-
its after last nights meeting in Bos-
ton. where his creed as a candidate
was so rousingly received. His speech
last night was a direct answer to the
Democratic cry, What would you do
as PRESIDENT"
Tenets of His Platform.
Hughes's promises, summed up,
were:
Selection Of the ab1est cabinet the
country can afford.
Firm and courteous insistence on
the rights of our citizens, as the basis
of his foreign policy.
Enactment of a proper protective
tariff
Fair governmental action to all,
and particularly with regard to capital
and labor.
"Strict scrutiny of business organi-
zation--but all business to be treated
fairly and justly.
"a flag that protects the American
citizen in his lawful rights.
"a domestic policy which looks to
industrial peace and cooperation, not
to industrial war"

WILSON ON DEFENSIVE
Says War Last One We Can Keep Out
of-Denies Charges.

Cincinnati, Oct. 26.-President Will
son declared here today that the pres
ent war is the last one involving the
world which the United States can
keep out of.
He again advocated a 1eage of ma
tions to maintain peace after the pres
ent war. He said the United States
should be ready to use its physical
force if necessary to assist in prevent
ing war.
He said that at times the duties of
neutrals under present conditions may
become very difficult.
Denying that the present prosperity
of the United States is due to the
European war, President Wilson here
today declared that there is no ground
for fear that Europe during the war is
storing up goods to dump on markets
in America after the war.
The president flatfly denied Repub-
lican claims that as at present con-
stituted, the United States was unpre-
pared to meet the opposition of
Europe
In his speech before the women's
City club here, President Wilson ad-
dressing the women as fellow citi-
zens,' said he could speak to women
on public questions as he could speak
to men. He said:
eff the war goes on another year, we
probably will have half the gold sup
ply of the world"
