Child Like Young Tree Needs Care
1T Is To Grow

Farmers know that fruit trees need
care if they are to bear plentiful.
The young child needs care, too, if it
is to grow to vigorous man or woman
hood
Our sytem of public education has
recognised this need on the intellectual
side for generations, and the state has
a similar responsibility for the physical
soundness Of it's children.
1t is through the school physician
and school nurses that this important
need is at last being met.
These officials were first appointed to
detect communicable diseases and pre-
vent their spread from one child to an
other. This is today only small part
of their work, however, for noncom-
municable but remediable physical de-
fects cripple a much larger number of
school children than do the communi-
cable diseases.
Careful studies in various schools
have shown that about two children
out of three have defective teeth; one
out of IA defective vision; one out of II
enlarged tonsils, and one out of 20 ade-
mold growths.
These physical defects are usually
entirely unsupported by either the
children or their parents. Yet they
are hampering them in their social life
and causing wastsge of consider
able part of the money put into their
education.
One child cannot see the blackboard
clearly and has a headache when he
studies. A pair of glasses properly fit
ted would clear up the whole trouble.
Another child is dull and listless, does
not sleep well and has no appetite for
his meals. The removal of adenoid
growths would cure him In no time.
The school physician by detecting
these physical defects and the school
nurse by going to the chiid's home and
and seeing that the right
things are done, are doing on the phys
ical side what the teacher is doing on
the intellectual side.

To Raise Funds for 1917
Anti tuberculosis Work.


With the first shipment of Red Cross
Christmas Seals out of the Milwaukee
office of the Wisconsin Anti-TubercuI-
osis Association to the local campaign
managers in all parts of the state this
week, the 1916 seal sale will be in full
swing.
The sale of five million seals and the
accumulation of five million pennies
for cuntinuing and extending the fight
against tuberculosis in Wisconsin i
the goal which has been set. With a
strong determination to regain for Wis
consin 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 against tuberculosis
by the sale of seals, the campaign has
been organized both earlier and more
extensively than in preceding years.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Much of the discomfort which COM
monty receives the name dyspepsia"
and which harnesses people in middle
and late adult life has had it's origin in
childhood. Many a child "Who was al
ways able to eat anything is now
grown into man or moman who
needs carefully to watch at every meal
to avoid articles of diet that destroy
intestinal and mental peace. We pay
for everything we get somehow, some
where, and sometime. Future care in
diet is one form of payment for early
carelessness.
Speedy meals and gulping is another
cause of indigestion. While the habit
is frequently begun in childhood it can
be broken in later life. Chewing the
food is the beginning of the digestive
process. AS one physician says to his
patients, it is. the only one of the steps
in Indigestion which man can control.
And. yet how few intelligent people
there are who thus control the masti-
cation of their food.
The average person whose work or
play does not create a thirst, does not
drink as much water as is needed to
proderly flush the intestinal tract and
rid the body of it's wastes. Another
physician bruntly says that the indi-
vidual who doesn't drink an abundance
of water with which to wash the insides
of his intestines is as dirty as the indi-
vidual who doesn't bathe his body or
clean his teeth.
Sluggish bowels are responsible for
much of the indisposition from which
people suffer. Millions of dollars have
been accumulated by makers of social
ed ''tonics" the only virtue of which
lies in some cathartic remedy they con-
tain. 1t is far better to take drugs for
constipation than to remain constipa-
ted but it would be far better to over
come the disorder by natural means.
Drinking larger quantities of water
and eating more stringy vegetables
furnish two economical and efficient
natural methods of overcoming consti-
patton.
The mixture of a little human brains
will be found to improve the planning,
cooking, and eating of meals.

Better Herds Built in Every Comfy

During recent year, bred-for- pro-
duction Holstein cattle were purchased
by farmers living in every county of
Wisconsin, and pure bred Guernseys
were marketed during the same period
to dairymen in all but three of our II
counties.
The reason for these numerous trans
fers is that Wisconsin farmers are re-
alizing more and more that the founda-
tion for future success in live stock
raising must. be built upon bred-for-
production basis. In many sections of
the state, business men have co-opera-
ted with their neighboring farmers in
the improvement of their herds and
fiocks.

Use Of Better Sires Would Net Millions
BY NJ. Fl. Gardner, WaIworth County

Good, Indifferent, and poor, there are
over 10000, 900 dairy COWS in the Unit
ed States.
The good cows under most any con-
ditions of environment return more or
less profit to the owners; the indiffer-
ent cows return a profit or loss accord
ing to the conditions of their environ
mcnt; while the poor COWS, under like
conditions, chow only less or more of
loss.
The key to the whole betterment
problem is the education of the cow
owner along dairy lines, coupled with
the betterment OF the dairy stock of
the country.
As soon as any yfarmer-dairyman sees
the need of better stock and begins to
take pride in such stock as he has, be
will also begin to give thought to the
bettering of the environment; and, as
his dairy education progresses, he will
begin to give attention and support to
intelligent efforts toward betterment
of the distribution of product, which
means higher prices for milk and milk
products
The great bulk-of the common stock
of the country is mongrel, In calling
it mongrel, [ mean that it is so mixed
Ia blood that nearly all desirable char
acteristics resulting from any infusion
of improved blood have either been
lost or neutralized.
If each of the 10000 coo or more
dairy COWS in the United States could
today wear card showing her product
during the year 1915, together with !
the cost of food consumed, l have not
the slightest doubt that one-fourth of
these COWS would be found wholly un
profitable.
There is hut one practical way to
better this mongrel stock situation
and that is by either replacing with |
pure bred stock, or grading up the
herds through the use of pure bred
bulls of the esta blished dairy breeds, at
the same time eliminating the un
profitable COWS from the herds.
Suppose, for moment, that it were
possible to cut off and save the care
and feeding expenses on 5000, 900 un
profitable COWS; the saving would be
at least 500, ,0OO,O 900 per year. And
again, suppose it were possible to add
600 pounds of milk, worth at least SO,
during the present year to each of the
remaing Il. 900, 900 in the country, in
that case the yearly gain would amount
to S135, 900, 600 more.
Such an immediate saving and gain
is impossible, because Improvement
takes time: but it is not only a posi-
bic accomplishment for the future but
may be far surpassed.
But one out of twenty of the pure
bred dairy bulls born in the herds of
the country is needed for use within
his breed, leaving 10 out of the 20
available for use in the improvement |
of grade or common herds.
What is wanted is the bringing to-
gether of the one who needs and the |
one who breeds the surplus bull: and |
thanks to the progressive spirit abroad |
in the land, this is fast being accom-
plished.

 The Portugal had 273 persons on board, of whom 115 were drowned. The Russian government sent to all neutral governments a note protest ing against the torpedoing of the hos pital ship. It was asserted the Por- tugal bore all the distinctive signs prescribed by the special agreement signed at The Hague in 1908, and that by exchange of notes among the Russian, Turkish, and Bulgarian governments these principles were accepted and immunities were guar anteed to hospital ships in the Black sea.
 'The circumstances under which this attack was made" the note said, "exclude all possibility of a mistake having been made by the submarine. It was a deliberate attack
 A semi official Russian statement contained the assertion that the POr- tugaI had on board neither troops nor war material, but only Sisters of Charity, nurses and the necessary crew.
 The Turkish government at first disclaimed responsibility for the sink ing of the Portugal, and announced that a Russian transport with troops and war material had been sunk in the Black Sea by a Turkish subn.a- rine. It was pointed out at the time that the supposed transport might have been the Portugal.
