Correct Brother.

We sometimes wonder as we drive
along the highways what mysterious
influence oftentimes transforms the
average gentleman into a thorough
bred road hog when he gets behind
the wheel of a car. Turn out when
you meet him and he will barely
swerve from his course. Turn down
your lights and he whiZZes by with
glaring headlights without once offer
ing to return the compliment We
have just about given it up as bad
job trying to be decent on the public
highways. Many auto drivers are
courteous to every machine they meet,
but too often one meets the brand
who recognize no responsibility in the
line of giving you half the road or
dimming his lights. The latter kind
should be visited by missionary at
least three times a week until they
have been civilized up to the standard
of having some respect for other peo-
pies rights-Horicon Reporter.

SIHENlTn INSTRUCTION DuRuuV oW

BLOOD POISONING.

Until recently a big, strong man has
been employed as fireman by a Mil
waukee business concern which has
been more than commonly interested
in the welfare of it's employees. The
fireman isn't working any longer and
the reasons make a very interesting
history and one which should prove
generally instructive.
In the ordinary course of his en-
ployment this man scratched the back
of one Of his fingers slightly. Every
emplOye had been instructed, under
such circumstances, to go at once to
one OF the convenient irst-aid-c
and Immediately apply tincture of
iodine, which is part of the equipment.
Instead of doing this the man ignored
the injury as being too trivial to de-
serve any attention.
A few days later his hand became
red, hot, swollen, and painful. He
visited a physician who treated and
dressed the hand and told the patient
not to use it for few days. Con-
trary to this advice, the man went
back to work, grew worse and worse
and after a few more days died from
general blood poisoning.
Spurred on by this sad experience,
the company is now engaging a fac
tory nurse to give personal supervi-
sion and to compel, if necessary, the
cooperation of employees who are
careless not alone of their own lives
and limbs but of the company's in
terests as we'll. Another company in
a similar case is reported to have COM
PEELED to pay full death claim notwith-
standing the fact that the carelessness
was clearly not that of the employer.
The latter company, which had pre-
viously employed a nurse and pro
vided it's injured and sick employees
with the best of medical and surgical
care, added a new employe to insure
them against similar financial loss.
The man is mounted on motorcycle
and calls at the homes of employees
who are absent without notifying their
foremen of an intention to clay Off"
% uuCH Ilule Oh employees udS DeeH
saved through this means that the
company now considers the liability
payment to have been, indirectly, the
best investment ever made in their
business.
People whose business it is to know
OF the comparatively large number of
instances in which supposedly trivial
scratches result in death are not care
less of minor injuries that occur to
them.

Saves Summer Heat For Winter Use.

of this city, recently announced he had
heated his house all last winter, and
that washing and ironing had been
done with bottled sunshine
He explains he stored heat from the
suns rays by means of continuance
which collected the heat, conveyed it
to a barn, which he had remodeled
into structure not unlike a fireless
cooker.
According to Barnes, the barn is
filled with blocks of artificial stone,
each carefully packed in pressed
straw. These, he said, held the heat

MAKE AuTOING LESS DANGEROUS.
F. W. Felton Of Racine Offers q Few
Suggestions.

With the state and county highway
commission .exerting every effort to
make automobiling less dangerous by
the eliminating of bad curves in roads,
improving bridges, putting approaches
up, safety guard rails at dangerous
fills, and painting bridges a uniform
color for warning of an approach to
the bridge, there is suggestion along
this line that | would like to make.
says F. w. Pelton, publicity manager
of the Mitchell Motors company, inc,
Of Racine The idea that I am sug-
costing for adoption by the highway
commissions, would be one of the
greatest things in promoting safe
driving especially at night, and that
is the painting of the telegraph and
telephone poles nearest to the dan
gerous curve, or bridge or fill, so that
the driver in approaching the danger
would be warned before he has run
upon it. The driver will then be put
upon his guard and he will be able
to avoid the danger that he now en-
counters without the warning signs.
Telegraph and telephone poles could
be painted about 10 feet from the
ground for about a foot strip This
strip could be white with the eXecep-
ton of about a foot in the center,
which could be red, and about 10 poles
on each side of the dangerous place,
be painted At railroad crossings the
railroad officials would be glad to CO.
operate, for many railroad crossings
are so Obscured that the driver does
not know that he is approaching one
until he is right upon it.
By using these warning posts, the
danger would be eliminated

Fire Less For August, S1,00O,O0O.

Madison.-A total of 260 fires, with
losses of 1895, 100, were reported to
the fire marshal department in the
office Of commissioner of insurance
during August. This is a decrease in
the number of fires, but a consider
able increase in losses, over July when
the total number of fires was $50 and
the total losses $6O3,O25 The, big
total for August was due largely to
two big individual fires, one at a loss
of $685. 900 at Gren Bay, and the other
$250,000 at Merrill, making a total
alone of $605,000, The total losses of
August, 1915, through 165 fires, were
$156,570.

cepton Of small percentage when

There Is said to be a provision in
one of the state laws whereby a per-
centago of other funds which have
not become exhausted may be trans
tered to funds which are exhausted,
and there is no reason to believe the
street or lighting funds are an eXcep-
ton according to Mr.. Downing. There

There Is said to be a law which
prohibits the transferring of funds.
That is, If one city fund becomes eX-
hausted II cannot be made up by a
transfer of money from another fund

mitted, however that there was pos

Commissioner Downing
Will Spend Every Cent
of His Two Funds.
WHAT CAN BE DONE
With Sufficient Money
Wonders Could BE
Worked Here.

c. NJ. Downing commissioner Of
streets and lighting, announced yes
terday that he has $4,000 or the
lighting fund left over. while OF the
streets tund there Is something like
$4,000, and every cent of this he Is
determined To use curing the remain
ing brief period of the present admin
istlation. Therefore, II is possible
that Tulsas streets VIII he cleaner
than those OF any other city of cor
responding size in the United States,
while If the city is not as well lighted
a. possible, the taxpayers Will have
theE-0eiVes to blame.
"T have observed by an afternoon
newspaper" said Mr.. Downing yes
tcrday, that clubwomen of Tulsa
have inaugurated a campaign against
dirty streets. There is little doubt
that they are in earnest, as the short
ness OF skirts conveys to me that the
cause cun be for no other reason than
to avoid germs which infest dirty
thoroughfares. Milady might just as
well ,engthen her attire to the regula-
ton length hereafter, however, as
frori now on, or until my FUNDS are
exhausted. there will absolutely be no
cause for complaint, us the streets OF
this city will be as clean or cleaner
than those of any otner city in the
southwest, anu IL may bt w VIZ
compare faIorably with the mun'cl-
palities of other sections of the
country"
Plenty of Money.
It is quite true. according to the
exclamation of Commissioner Down
ing, that there have been insufficient
funds at his disposal during the past
few months to keep the business dls-
trct streets as clean as they should
be. Now, however. there is enough
money to keep them clean for the re-
maindcr of the present aoministra-
ton, and that is what he intends to
do. The work will be demonstra-
tion of what is possible were the de-
partment in possession of sufficient
funds. It viii show that the con-
missioner is anxious TO make Tulsa ;
streets compare with those OF any
ether city, but to accomplish this 1t
will bc necessary to have sufiiciehl
fund on hand all the time.
The light and street funds are the
only funds of the present city admins
tration not exhausted, something
which undoubtedly is due to the far
seeing ability of the commissioner in
charge. There are many parts OF the
city which need lighting, but for the
reason that it would have been impos-
sble to make such Improvements in
one place without similar activity ana
expenditure in another, II was deemed
best to refrain from making all i'm
proVcments requested, for the reason
that the light fund would soon be-
come exhausted.
To Light Up the Town.
Mr.. Downing, according to his ex-
PLANTATION yesterday, will see that the
required number of lights are placed
where they are needed. and such in
stances are numerous. He is en-
powered to spend every cent at his
