AUTO FUMES DEADLY

1t would be we'll for auto owners
to know that the fumes from the
auto are very deadly and auto motors
should never be started in a small,
closed garage. There have been many
deaths from this source and the latest
announced was that of Louis Wenzel,
OF Milwaukee. He was found dead a
short time after he went to the
garage to get out his auto. Because
of the cold weather he started up the
motor with the doors of the garage
closed. Three other persons in Mil
waukee, were similarly overcome dur
the week, viz Fred Geiger and son,
Edward, and John Mueller.
carbon monoxide is distinct poi
son and unites with the blood" said
DR.. Daniel Hopkinson, pathologist.
at is a colorless, infiammable gas,
formed by the incomplete combus-
ton of carbon with oxygen, or by de-
odOriZing carbon oxide, Its blue
flame may be seen on the surface of a
clear coal fire. When such incom-
plete combustion occurs, within a
limited area, any person in such linn
tied area is subjected to the poison"
WauSau auto owners should take
heed. Don't start your motor with
the doors closed. One of our promi-
nent men recently started his motor
with closed doors and was overcome
but was able to crawl to the door and
open, thus saving his life.

The Y. M. G. A. Boys club known
as the K. K. KS played a picked
team from Marshfield and defeated
them by a close score of Is to II.
Owing to the weight and height of
the Marshfield lads the Wausau boys
had to do good playing too keep the
ball out of sight of the Marshtield
goal. The first half ended with a
score of 7 to in favor of the Marsh
field team. In the second half sew
eral subs were put in and the game
closed with Is to II score.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 16-Sir Johnston
Forbes Robertson, the foremost Eng

greatest living actor of the English

his farewell tour Of America which

EASY WAY TO MAKE
HAIR ATTRACTIVE
Ladies May Add to Their Appearance
With Little Trouble

Ladies who find trouble in properly
or attractively arranging and dressing
their hair should try using a little
Partisan Sage twice daily for while
and note the remarkable improve
ment. Partisan Sage, which can be
obtained from w. w. Albers, or any
drug counter, makes the hair soft,
lustrous, fluffy and wavy, takes out
the dull, lifeless appearance, dissolves
the dandruff and stimulates the hair,
roots into healthy normal action.
Instead of merely sprinkling the hair,
it should be rubbed right into the
scalp with the finger tips. Partisan
Sage is a delightful treatment for
both hair and scalp, cannot possibly
injure the hair and is very inexpen-
siye.

ANNUAL SHARE
HOLDER MEETING,
National German American Bank Elect
Directors and Officers

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the National German
American Bank was held at its bank
ing rooms at 100 p. M, last Tuesday,
January 18th. The meeting was called
to order by B. Heinemann, presi-
dent. Between seventy-tive and one
hundred stockholders were present
and took an active part in the meet
ing
The officers reported prosperous
year which resulted in the bank pay
ing an extra dividend at the close of
the year, and also gave it as their
opinion that general business condi-
tions in all lines were improved and
that bank deposits were increasing.
W. H. Bissell, W. @. Landon and others
spoke regarding the very much i'm
proved business conditions of the
country and predicted prosperous
year for 1916. The utmost harmony
and good will prevailed throughout
the meeting which resulted in the re-
election of the same Board of Direc.
tors which are as follows: Walter
Alexander, w. H. Bissell, Herman G.
Flieth, Charles S. Gilbert, Benjamin
Heinemann, D. J. Murray. John D.
Ross, Charles H. Wegner and Cyrus
G. Yawkey.
About eight years ago the bank
purchased the corner of Third and
Scott streets which included the old
post office, and Immediately rebuilt
the entire building into one of the
most modern and up-to-date banking
rooms in the state. They supposed
al that time they had plenty of room
for their business to grow an indetin-
lite time but after this short period
find every available space occupied
and are now considering some plan of
enlarging their quarters.
The following officers were reelected
at the directors meeting on Saturday
morning:
F. B. Heinemann-President.
Walter Vice-Pres.
@. S. Gilbert-Vice-Pres.
H. q. Flieth-Cashier.

ANOTHER SPLENDID SAFETY
RECORD.

The Chicago & North Western Rail-
way Co. points with pardonable pride
to the splendid record they have made
during the year just passed by not
having killed single passenger.
This is a splendid demonstration of
the effective results obtained through
the persistent and active work done
by the Safety First organizations
maintained by this company and the
cooperation extended from all en-
ployes, this line being the pioneer in
this great movement, and is also
attributable to the extensive double
tracking, together with the complete
and modern signal appliances with
which this line is fully equipped.

The debating teams were chosen
last week as follows:
Affirmative Negative
Archie Anderson Elmer Larson
Meta Schroeder Clara Gebhart
Samuel Stockum Elroy MacFaul
Leaders

The Lyceum program last Friday
was one of the most pleasing given
thus far. 1t was a Tennyson program,
given as follows:
Life of Alfred Lord Tennyson, by
Agnes Laut.
Enoch Arden, by Anna Hyman,
Esther Rifleman, Emil Kroening,
Helen Conklin, Margaret Islet, Title
Levin, Albert Bauman, Erna Granke
and Richard Koran.
1t was then moved and seconded
| that a guard be stationed at each
door, leading from the general as
sembly room, the purpose of this
being to prevent people from trying
to escape from the impromptu pro-
gram which followed the regular one.
| Clyde Smith and Charles Turner were
appointed and will act in that capac-
ity at all future meetings.
1t was then moved and seconded
that the difference in the heights of
Mr.. Kuebler and Mr.. Blair be meas
| ured by Mr.. Bauman. This settled a
dispute in regard to this matter. The
difference was one foot and five inches.
The basket ball season was started
last Friday night by the High School
Second team, defeating the T. W. A.

they are expected to give US some fine
games. The lineups were as follows;

The High School team then defeat

in hard fought and exciting game.
Wright was easily the star of the
game, making seven baskets and four
force throws. The Wausau boys had
the best of it the first half, having 20

back with lots of ''pep," in the sec
ond half, however, and climbed up to
where they looked pretty dangerous

SAD DEATH IN WINNIPEG

The sad news reached Langdon
friends of the family during the
week from Winnipeg of the death of
the second daughter of Mrs. Teresa
Donovan. Particulars are lacking it
merely being stated that Mrs. Muir
ply, formerly Miss Teresa Donovan,
had died after very short illness
following child birth. 1t is only a
little over year ago that cards were
received by the friends in Langdon
of the Donovan's 8 announcing the mar
riageofMrs. Donovan's daughter, Miss
Teresa, to Mr.. Murphy. Deceased
grew up as little girl in tbs city
and at the time of their leaving for
Winnipeg, about five years ago she
held position as cashier and book
keeper in the Boyd department store.
Much sympathy is felt for the be-
reaved family.
