AUTO OWNERS

Is the ordinary auto owner lacking
in public spiritness?
We do not think so, but superficial
investigation of conditions here might
give one this impression.
Take in the matter of providing
autos to show visitors the city, visitors
who have come here at our invitation,
such as those who attend the various
conventions we have had here.
Mr.. Chellis of the Chamber of Com
merce ordinarily falls heir to the I'M
pleasant duty of drumming up ma
chimes for these occasions.
On his list he has lot of good fell
lows upon whom he can usually rely,
and upon whom he has to call fairly
frequently. 1t happens sometimes that
some of these good fellows are busy,
that their machines are out OF repair,
and then he is compelled to call on
others, and in doing this is often
turned down pretty sharply.
Now, this is not Mr.. Chellis' private
business. Every one of us should be
as much interested in giving visitors a
good impression of our city.
We boast of the "Wausau Spirit"
Let us show some of it.
Why would it not be good idea
for every auto owner in the city to
ring up the Chamber of Commerce
secretary and inform him that they
would be willing on every proper oc-
casion to put their shoulder to the
wheel and boost for Wausau and tell
him to feel free to call on them for the
use of their machines on these semi
public occasions.
Do it today, for the chances are
that he will have use for good many
machines next Thursday for the Wis
itors to the most important convention
held here this year. Medford citizens
have placed at the disposal of their
committee, As machines, Athens, Is;
Edgar, ~; Marathon II, and that will
not be enough. Wausau must furnish
the balance We cannot afford to fall
down on this. Show that your heart
is right and ring up phone 1873 and
tell the secretary that occasionally he
can rely upon the use of your machine
for anything that is for the welfare of
the community, 30

WAR NOTES

Forty-four men have signed up for
tI.e organization of National Guard
at Amigo.
One of the boys in writing home
from Texas, said that Camp Dcaglas
seemed like a. paradise compared with
the camp down there; tEat there is no
shade and the sun is numerically not.
On the 21st a rainfall at Camp
Wilson lasting two hours, made the
g-ounds a bed of mud. One OF the
bows writing home said that in walk
ing down one of the streets enough
mud was collected on his boots 10
form an embankment.
Company G is settled down and
ready for long siege of it. The tents
have all been permanently located
and ditched for all weather cond1-
tions. everything made as comfort
able as possible, and drill commenced
in earnest to condition the troops.
An inspection at Fort Sam Houston,
where the Wisconsin troops are To-
Gated, brings out the report that the
camps are in excellent condition and
most sanitary. Men are well shell
tered and well fed. Satisfaction is
unanimous. The deficiency in equip
ment is being made up as rapidly as
possible,
Reports from Texas, Camp Wilson,
where the Wisconsin boys are To-
Gated, are to the effect that it is very
warm down in that country, but that
work is arranged so during the heat
of the day, from II until 3 o'clock, that
no i'll effects are liable to result. The
nights are cool and the men sleep in
the open without tents and are glad
to use blankets before morning.
The boys in Texas think they are
booked for long stay in their pres
ent camp. Buildings of permanent
nature, preparations about the camp,
routine drills, and many other things,
would indicate this. At least five
months are predicted and many say
that they will remain a longer time;
all will depend upon what develop
ments will appear in that time. With
conditions far from settled and Villa
again bobbing up with considerable
backing this opinion is strengthened.

HOT WEATHER HINTS

The fortunate person who is start
ing on his vacation will do we'll to OBJ
serve and take warning from the fol-
lowing Dont's, compiled by health au
thorities:
Don't stand for dirty milk.
Don't keep thinking of business
leave it behind at the railway station.
Don't try to crowd too much into
your holidays. A holiday should be
a rest and change, not an athletic
endurance test.
Don't be too eager to get a good
coat of tan and get a good sunburn
instead.
Don't go into a canoe if you can
not swim we'll.
Don't go into cold water or for long
swims unless your circulation is good.
Don't stay awake nights swatting
mosquitoes if q gallon of coal oil
would cut them off in their tender
youth.
Don't eat too much meat during hot
weather-fresh fish is much better.
Vegetables and fruit are supplied by
nature for hot weather and should
replace meat to a great extent in your
diet.
Don't dance every night during your
holidays and expect to come back
rested and refreshed.
Don't scratch mosquito bites or the
bites of other insects. Scratching ir-
ritates the skin and causes swelling
and soreness.
A little common sense and caution
will increase the pleasure and profit
of the annual vacation many fold.

VARIOUS WAYS TO KEEP COOL

The chief business of life Just now,
is trying to keep cool. We have en-
dured almost month OF solid hot
weather and it is not conductive to
business, social life, or even good
temper; consequently Wausau is very
quiet. Many people have gone to their
cottages at the lakes and the summer
resorts in northern Wisconsin are do
ing an enormous business. The one
diversion that seems enjoyable at the
present time is motoring. Hundreds
of cars are out each evening and the
occupants are quite successful in
wearing off the effects of the days
heat in this way. Automobile tourists
on their way north, arrive in the city
every day, making Wausau their stop
ping place for dinner or at night, as
they journey toward their mecca.
Travelling by auto is becoming more
popular each year. With improved
roads and good hotels, it is proving
a most delightful pasttime in hot
weather. So it is IAN i'll wind that
blows good to no one" Nevertheless,
we are waiting for cooler weather and
hope for a change soon.

Wausau is considered quite a con-
vention city and within the past few
years 1t has entertained many large
gatherings, but none has been more
satisfactory on the whole, than the
druggists annual, held here from
Tuesday until Friday Of last week.
The druggists were given the glad
hand of welcome everywhere they
went and they were not backward in
their praises OF our city and its peo-
pie. There are very. few eonven-
tions which do not meet with some
drawbacks, such as bad weather, no
interest displayed, etc. But with the
druggists, everybody was interested in
its success and the weather was sim
ply perfect.

WILL BUILD A COTTAGE

At the G. A. R. Encampment held
at Wausau last year, the Wisconsin
division voted to build a cottage at
the Waupaca Soldiers Home. The
cottage will be built at once, about
$4,000 being subscribed. Wausau
Sons of Veterans contributed $500 to
this fund, and this amount was sent to
headquarters today. There is need
of more cottages at the Home and the
action of the Sons of Veterans will
be appreciated by the managers of the
institution.

Infantile paralysis continues to in
crease at an alarming rate in the
east. In New York City alone there
have been nearly 5000 cases and near
ly 500 deaths and the plague is in
creasing. There are cases of the dis
ease reported In about every state in
the union. 1t is not known what
causes the disease, but physicians
who have much to do with the disease,
say that children must be kept away
from insect life. Mice and rats should
be eradicated; pets of all kinds should
be washed and kept clean; children
should not be over fed on frozen dishes
such as ice cream, ETC., and they
should have plenty of sleep; their
mouths should be rinsed out and
threats gargled after each meal, and
kept from catching cold. All of this
will help to keep away the disease

Forest fires are raging in some parts
of the country at this time. They
should be prevented. Some time ago,
the writer looking from the train win

up instantly in the fierce wind.
The conductors attention was called
to it. A brakesman also was present.
We thought the authorities should be
notified at the near station, but we
doubt if this was done. Afterwards
we heard of farm buildings burned
in that vicinity.
Some one remarked that a shield
