Two FAMOUS
WISCONSIN
SURGEONS

The recent death of DR.. John B.
Murphy of Chicago, recalls the fact
that he and Dr. Nicholas Sem, who
died a few years ago, two of Amer
ica's greatest surgeons, are products
of the Badger State. Doctor Murphy
was born at Appleton in 1857. He
studied in the public schools, worked
as youth on his fathers farm, and
began his medical apprenticeship I'M
der John Reilly of Appleton. His act
i've medical career was entirely spent
at Chicago.
Doctor Sem, a native of Switzer-
land, was brought to Wisconsin by
his parents in 1853. After the usu-
al educational training he began his
medical career as a country physician
in Fond du Lac County, removing
thence after several years to Mil
waukee, where he remained for almost
twenty years. In 1898 he removed to
Chicago, where his greatest fame
was won. The sons of Doctor Sem
have recently presented fine bronze
bust of their father to the Wisconsin
Historical Museum The museum
also owns the set of surgical instru-
ments used by him at the beginning
of his career in Fond du Lac County,
and his favorite scalpel, used in all
his famous clinics at Chicago.

In Madison, the dental clinic, organ
lied last March, is financed entirely
by the Associated charities. The clinic
board is composed of three dentists
and three members of that body, and
the medical inspector and school and
visiting nurses cooperate in the work.
The clinic is open three hours a day
twice a week, and the dentists donate
their services. Children who are able
to pay even 5 or 10 cents are expected
to do So
In Racine, the fund for free dental
work is furnished by school children.
On the day before Thanksgiving, for
several years, the children have made
contributions ranging from 5 cents to
35 cents each. The total fund, which
amounts to $4O0 or $500, supplies free
treatment for needy children. About
so children were treated last year, and
the dentists were paid half their reg
uIar rates. This year they are asking
regular prices.
In Wausau, the medical inspectors,
when examining the school children,
report all cases of defective teeth to
the visiting nurse and the school prin-
cipal. After an investigation Of the
financial circumstances in the families
such children as cannot afford to pay
are recommended for free dental work
The dentists not only give free ser
vices but recently have arranged for
a careful inspection of the teeth and
planning OF necessary work
In Oshkosh, the board of education
has included in its budget $500 for the
equipment Of dental dispensary, and
the dentists Of the city have offered
their services free of charge for
period of one year.
Milwaukee has had dental clinic
since February, 1911 Dentists OPP
ened it and maintained it until Sep
TENDER, 1913; since then it has been
controlled and financed by the school
board A dentist is employed to give
his entire time to the clinic Only
children whose parents cannot pay
are sent to the clinic. children who
can pay small sums are treated at
Marquette university for the cost of
material used The city dental in
spector makes the rounds Of the
schools once a year. Last year, ne
examined 26,285 children and found
23,175 had teeth which needed atten-
ton. During the year, 1854 children
were treated at the clinic.

successfully making cakes and other
articles of diet without either eggs or
butter and the results are proving sat

of the kind can be advantageously a

generally and quickly and can get e

POWER Of
THE BOYCOTT


We are heartily in favor of the Boy
colt as the most effective way to reach
the men who are forming unreason-
able combinations to raise the prices
We are glad to know the housewives
are refusing to use eggs, butter, po-
tatoes, etc, and the prices are going
down. Keep it up. It's good work
We reproduce an editorial from the
Stevens Point Journal appFopo along
this line:
Reports from all over the country
indicate that the boycott of many
high priced goods is rapidly increas-
ing The public has powerful wea-
pom in its hands if it has the self
denying spirit to WELD it. That wea-
pom is the boycott. The person who
is not willing to forego various lu- r
les and even some so-called necessi-
ties cannot decry the high prices with
maximum of grace.
A general boycott would likely send
the prices of the boycotted articles
tumbling and drops in few important
lines will tend to bring down the gen.
eral level of rates just as some of the
startling raises have furnished all
sorts of dealers with an excuse for
increasing their charges.
Let the citizens cooperate in knit

INDIVIDUAL
GOOD AND
GENEAL
WELFARE

In the churches you find the best
peace societies; working for the i'm
provement of man, the heart-accept-
ance of the worlds Savior.
1t is a splendid work, and there are
great souls associated in many com
munities with this supreme purpose.
The influence we lend the movement
has natural bearing on the magni-
tude and breadth of the results.
To get more out of the movement
we must put more into it.
We must act with those who are
striving for the big issues of life, be-
cause we want to be factors in the
big work.
From the churches, as a radiating
center, must come the influence which
will strengthen and elevate the gen
eral tone of the country.
Each must do his part in preserv-
ing what we have inherited from the
past, and passing it on, with increased
honor, to the future.
Every Sunday school class is in
structing missionaries in the big
cause of bringing brotherhood to all
the world.
Every church-attendant is assisting
in the bigger plan of making peace on
earth a common and usual blessing.
You ought to be an active spirit in
one of the churches! You ought to be
doing mans work for the Cause! Are
you?
eve are all children in the Kinder
garten of God!"
Each has an appointed place in the
general programme which is to insure
better general living, and put US on
higher ground.
Our ideas of public spirit may vary
the Importance of any one feature of
modern life may not appeal to each
alike, but the thing we must remember
is that we are to "edify one another
Peace is not entirely matter of
refraining from battle; peace means
restraining of the spirit, a concern
for those about US.
I'VE wear cur climates in our hearts
and it is summer there!"
We carry war or peace about with
Us; and are we guilty of hurting shafts
of malice, or disturbing with submar-
inc suggestions?
Each has his individual response
bility in the matter of building and e.
quipping peace palaces in our owl
souls.
The structures we thus erect will be
for the inspection of those with whom
we associate. The peace of God must
be in US
There are schools and societies strug
Cling for the overcoming of practical
~ every evil under the sun.
If we followed the suggestions Of
all we might not obtain the best de-
gree of understanding.
Let us therefore follow after
things which make for Peace, and
things wherewith one may edify an.

Turkey Agrees to
Red Cross Relief
Work in Armenia

Washington, Sept. 2l.--Turkey has
yielded to diplomatic negotiations for
an extension OF American Red Cross
work in Ottoman territory beyond
the present limited operations in
mine-stricken sections Of Syria. The
State department today notified Red
Cross headquarters that the Turkish
government had agreed to remove its
restrictions and preparations were
taken up at once for beginning a
great relief campaign in cooperation
with the Red Crescent society OF
Turkey. President Wilson, by proc.
lamation, has set aside October q

Syrian relief days, and it is expected
that the funCs in hand will be largely
increased by contrib ations received
then. Already in the sections where

OMAHA HAS A GOOD
CHANCE FOR BANK
G. E. Herring Tells Concord
Club Members Benefits to
Community Enormous.
MUST INTEREST INVESTORS

Omaha stands a mighty good
chance Of getting one Of the federal
farm loan banks, Carl E. Herring
told the members of the Concord
club at the weekly meeting and
luncheon of the organization at the
Hotel Fontenelle at noon. Mr.. Her
ring, as a special guest of the club,
gave an interesting talk on the farm
loan bank question, predicting to the
Concordians that the benefits of the
system to this part Of the country
will be enormous.
He, however, qualified some of his
statements by saying that many Of
the democratic party's outbursts as
to the farm loan bank proposition,
while beautiful" contained much
"bunkum."
The vast needs OF the farmers in
the matter OF loans and the part they
will play in the working out Of the
farm loan bank system were ex-
planned by Mr.. Herring.
Appeal to Investor.
An important phase Of the farm
loan banks, and one, he averred, must
not be overlooked, is the standpoint
of the investor. First of all, Mr..
Herring pointed out, the farm loan
banks must appeal to the investor.
He declared that they must be salts
fled that the farm loan banks con.
stitute the best channel for invest
ments before they will let loose Of
their money.
The important investors of the
country, he said, are in two classes,
both of which are in the east--the
Insurance companies and the savings
of the New England states.

MAYOR ASKS HOWELL

Mayor Dahlman broke into the
routine Of the city council proceed
ings to express his mind regarding
the arbitrary policy Of the general
manager of the Metropolitan Water
district, yclept R. B. Howell.
Two women called at my office to
ask why the Water board should not

Streets" said the mayor. "The Water

Assistant City Attorney TePoel ex-
planned that the water works man.

sign petitions for public improve

have been levied against water works
property in several instances, but the
assessments have not been paid.
City Attorney Rine suggests that
suit should be started to establish

to secure a majority of front footage
