Inc delay IN prompt recognition
of the true cause of persistent
cough, slight feverishness, unwar-
ranted tired feeling and prolonged
indigestion" is TOO frequently the
cause of prolonged invalidism and
of death itself.
The cause of such delay is some
times due to the slackneSs on the
part of physician, sometimes tC
slackness on the part of the patient
and an unwillingness to face an un-
pleasant truth.
Tuberculosis is a disease very
frequently durable in the earliest
stages, and, provided diagnosis is
made before much Roadway is
made, need cause the patient no ter
ror. 1t is the height of folly, first
to hide from the truth, and second,
to attempt 70 cheat the truth by
shutting ones eyes to it when 1t is
established.
Consumption could be we'll nigh
wiped out of Wisconsin" in a few
years if patients would but secure
early diagnosis from competent
physicians and then fight for cure
as they do for success in any other
kind of effort. But it must not be
thought that il is easy to recognize
tuberculosis in it's earliest stages
One of the most competent special
lists in diagnosis tells me that he
finds this the most difficult work he
is called upon to do.

SEEING TUBERCULOSIS FIRST

Sibyl Morris league of Blooming
ton, Ind, says in the Journal of
The Outdoor Life that when she
was a school girl she was i'll for sew
eral weeks with walking typhoid
fever" followed later in the year by
pleurisy. Several years later a Sc
we're cold brought on" tuberculosis
for which she was put under treat
ment. During this prolonged treat
ment, which finally sent her as a
last chance to a Sanatorium, where,
for the first time, she really began
TO know and understand about tn
berculoSis," she learned many
things besides how to get we'll. The
most important of these was that
the so-called walking typhoid"
and the pleuriSy were the first man
ifestations of her tuberculosis, and
that the cold which was supposed
to have brought on" tuberculosis
was in reality part of a moderately
advanced stage of consumption.
II Miss leagues experience were
an unusual one there would be no
point about telling of it here, but
because it is being repeated over
and over again each day in Wiscon
sin, it has personal interest for ev.
cry person who has been "out of
sorts" for some time.
Miss league, like many other pa
tients who have learned after years
spent in battling for life, is resent
ful over the waste of time that re.
suited from the failure TO recognize
the disease at time when recovery
would almost certainly have been
speedy.

Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. 21.-President Wilson's
peace message slashed war prices to-
day in the wheat pit to cents bu'
shell. The biggest cut in values came
instanteously as soon as trading began
There was whirlwind of offers to sell
and it seemed as If recent ten cent
smashes in prices were about to be sur
passed, but the fact soon became evil
dent that furious as was the selling,
strong forces were more than could be
thrown on the market at any unreason-
able sacrifice. The result was that the
furry halted much sooner than recent
experiences had lead many dealers to
expect and recoveries OF about . cents
from the earlv bottom figures were
quickly scored
Advices indicating that huge ex-
port business in wheat had developed
led afterward to further decided re-
covery. but fresh declines ensued after
announcement by Secretary Lansing
that the peace note was sent because
the United States was being drawn near
the verge of war. Heavy buying was
quickly resumed, however. and the
market at the last virtually wiped out
all losses and in most cases scored sub
stantial net gains at the tip top prices
of the day. The close was strong sc
off to 2Ac net higher as compared with
"a hours before and with May at S1.63A
to $1.63A, July at $1.35A to $1.355s.
Opening prices for wheat taking the
market as a whole, ranged from 3ls to
cents down from yesterdays close.
