This bureau is being called upon in
an editorial appearing in the current
issue of the Wisconsin Medical Jour
nal to make a campaign against the
'frightful mortality among mothers
of Wisconsin" from blood poisoning at
childbirth. This call is a significant
one, coming as it does from a periodi-
cal owned by the organized medical
profession of the state, because it does
not lay the responsibility entirely on
others, but frankly states that physi-
clans are to blame in many instances.
This self-criticism is true to the best
traditions of the medical profession.
The principles of that profession have
always demanded of it's practitioners
that they place the interests of their
patients above their own In this
they are comparable to sailors who
are obligated by their own unwritten
law never to leave the ship in times
of danger, until every passengers
safety has been looked to first
But as there have been sailors who
have thought of personal safety first"
so there are some practitioners of
medicine whose first thoughts are of
personal ease and easy money The
medical journal holds no brief for
such. On the contrary it considers the
welfare of the individual, the patient
and the non-medical public, in the
mass, to be above personal and class
interests.
According to official figures, log
mothers died in Wisconsin last year
of blood poisoning as an incident Of
childbirth. Even this isn't the whole
truth because not all of such deaths
are recorded truthfully as to cause.
give them.
Practically all of those deaths were
preventable and yet they were not
prevented! Why? Because in too
many instances someone was careless
or ignorant-or both careless and
ignorant. A large proportion of Wis
cOnsin mothers do not have an intelli-
gent physician or midwife in attend
ance. Altogether too many are de-
pendent upon such service as neigh
bors, husbands, and even children may

mother were entitled to the following

Do You Like the Closing Embrace.

Practically all film plays, the reader may have
noticed, end with clutch and kiss.
It's presumable that great many persons like
this sweet fadeout. Some, however, have come to
regard it as thing to be avoided, would
avoid sugar ones breakfast chops.
One earnest gentlemen has formed the habit of
getting up hurriedly in movie theater and dash
ing out when he that the picture is nearing
it's end and that kiss with the hero and heroine
in close embrace impends.
He writes voicing his protest.
"The last time," he says, ''the kiss came when
wasn't expecting it, and when I tried to get out
fell over a seat and nearly broke my Leg

(Lord Chesterfield

Civility is the essential article toward pleasing
and is the result of good nature and good sense,
but good breeding is the decoration, the lustre of
civility, and only to be acquired by minute atten
ton to, and experience of good company. good
natured plowman or fox hunters may be inten-
tionally civil the politest courier, but their
manner often degrades and vlifes their matter
whereas, in good breeding the manner always
adorns and dignfes the matter to such degree
that have very often known it to give currency to
base coin.

Trees and the Town.
LA Crosse Tribune

The beauty of town is dependent on tree
growth than any other thing. No matter how at
tractive houses you may put up in new town or
section, they will always look bare and staring
unless partly screened by trees. And a street of
small homes looks sordd and. homey unless it has
foliage

dreams of theories and hopes-and the West
defeated by the COOL conservative East-old in poll
tics and ability to present a to the people.
So Bryan came back again in 1900 and maybe that
campaign wasn't hot one? But he got licked
again and the East of power and craftsmanship
prevailed against the West of glorious hope and
prodigality and Wanting theories that were perhaps
vain and futile, but nevertheless touched the sky
line of we'll being for the nation if such mighty
dreams could have only true! And the ma
ton rocked along before. All, those were the
palmy days of Titans in politics Primaries were
unheard of then and every freeman orator
and politician You may remember!
The great issues of the campaigns sixteen and
twenty years back have like other great issues OF
other campaigns mouldered into the dust of mem
ory's oblivion. Let mistake though, that
they not great issues or that men did not
consider them earnestly and profoundly from a
standpoint of the nations welfare rather than their
own private gain The great West took up free sill
yer because the West had been through period of
bitter poverty and despair and it hoped and be-
Ilieved that by legislation it could ameliorate it's
genuine suffering The country rejected free silver
because while it had no doubt of Mr.. Bryans and
his followers sincerity it could not fit to de-
base the country's currency The voters again in
1900 refused to believe that the nation on its
way hell-bent to Imperialism and sent the Repub-
licans back into power. Roosevelt came in and the
Republican party cleaned it's own house and drove
the money changers from the temple of free govern
ment And the nation believed in Teddy and re-
joiced exceedingly in his righteous wrath against
various despoilers Let one bettle the great of
the past or decry the things they set out to do and
did do.

Not run out in legitimate uses but actually wasted

system of selling the liquid lies at the bottom of

that it would pay the city to make inspection

1t was claimed by no less high authority than the
Chicago Tribune on Sunday last that Wisconsin is
among the doubtful states. This brings to mind
that Grover Cleveland elected in 92 largely be-
cause the republicans were over-confdent and
thought Harrison had sure thing. Wisconsin
sends thirteen votes to the electoral college. One
is elected from each congressional district and
two at large. 1t makes decided difference then
even in a strong republican district like this whether
or not the voters go to the polls. Your vote will
help elect republican eIector at large and the
party may need it. Don't forget this; remember

Johnny Glascott, one of the best all
round scholastic athletes in Philadel-
phia, has entered Catholic University
and will be candidate for the foot

fact. If advance reports of the prowess
of the youngster are true, Glascott's s
candidacy for the teams is likely to
develop into a proposition of just what
position the coaches desire to use him
in. And it will not be difficult mat
ter for the tutors of the Brookland
squads to find places for a star athlete
in any three of the branches Of sport
mentioned.
Glascott was a star halfback at the
Roman Catholic High School last fall
and in 1914. His work earned him a
position at halfback on the alI-star
team of the Catholic prep schools of
the east, as well as the position at half
back on the ail-star scholastic eleven
of Philadelphia, indicative of more than
the ordinary prowess. Glascott ran the
quarter mile exceptionally well, being
member of the four which repre-
sented his school in a victorious race at
