PUBLIC HEALTH REPORT
OF THE TREASURY

The annual report of the secretary
of the treasury as it relates to the
public health service contains numer-
GUS recommendations bearing on the
functions of that organization and evi-
dences the great interest of this de
partment in the extension and eXpan-
sion of the governmental agencies for
the protection of the public health.
In the development of general pub
lie health work, according to the sec
retary, there is great need of addi-
tional medical officers. The number of
requests for advice and assistance in
health problems received from states
and municipalities during the past
year has far exceeded that in any sim
liar period in the history of the SER
vice, but the limited number of of
licers available for the work has pre-
vented in many instances compliance
with these requests.
The field Investigations, the secre-
tary states, have served as stimulus
to state and local health agencies, and
every effort should therefore be made
to encourage and turn to practical ac-
count the interest in health matters
awakened in the general public. For
this reason an increase in the appro-
priation for field work is requested.
An additional building for the hy-
gienic laboratory is urgently needed.
The work of this institution has been
greatly extended, particularly as it re-
lates to the examination of viruses,
serums and analogous products, vast
market for which has been recently
created abroad. The safeguarding of
these therapeutic agents requires great
accuracy and precision and overcrowd-
ing is a serious handicap. In order
that the public health may be better
protected, an annual appropriation of
$4,000 is recommended to be eXpend
ed in carrying out the provisions of
the law relating to the examination of
these products.
The United States is the only gov
ernment of importance which does not
provide for the care and isolation of
lepers. The establishment of a ma
tional leprosarium where the numerous
,epers. most of whom are native born
Americans, may be properly segregat-
ed and treated, thereby eliminating a
menace to the health of others, is
urged.
The further recommendation of the
secretary relate to the need of addi-
tional clerical assistance in order to
meet the demands which are increas.
ingly made on the public health bu-
reau.

New York, January 3.-Although
the market for the week was almost
entirely traders affair, there was a
good deal of encouragement to be
found in the persistent accumulation
of contracts on price recessions by
both foreign and domestic interests
Brokers with German affiliations are
credited with buying fifty thousand
bales of March and in some quarters
it was believed that these purchases
were due to an approaching favorable
development in the international po-
itical situation. Whether or not this
has any basis in fact. it is quite evi-
dent that Germany is fortifying her
self commercially against the termina-
tion of the war, whenever that may be,
and it is reasonable to expect fur
ther accumulation of both spots and
contracts in that interest at any ia
vorable market opportunity. English
agents, dISo, are CTeulltu WIFI DeluB
more or less active, but their pur-
Chases have been curtailed owing to
the export problem which makes it
almost impossible to secure shipping
accommodation for cotton already on
hand. AS European stocks are rap
idly dwindling, and foreign manufac-
turers are now said to be drawing upon
their reserves, the situation would
seem to be serious In time, however,
this development should bring its own
cure. The allied governments at pres
ent are using their naval facilities for
the transportation of grain and muni-
tions. and when II becomes imperative
for Europe to have cotton there is lit
tie doubt that Great Britain will place
her mercantile fleet at the disposal
of the cotton spinning industry.
Although it is a little early yet to
talk new crop, there is no doubt that
the fertilizer question is already being
given serious consideration. Experts
say that a second consecutive year of
inadequate fertilization would work
havoc, no matter how large an acreage
was planted. and from the present
price of fertilizers it can hardly be ex-

Worms Used in Medicine.

The earthworm, or the common

worms were for internal administra-

NEW P0ST0FFlCE BUILDING
In THE NEAR FUTURE
Opening Of Street Necessary.

The results Of the special meeting OF
our common council on Tuesday eve
ming are Of much interest to all our
citizens and give general satisfaction.
The questions of the ncw postofiice
building and street opening were the
cause of the meeting. Our townsman,
h. G. Fielder, who was recently at
Washington, presented to the meeting
Ithc assurance that she government,
whose inspector had been here, stood
ready to buy such property adjoining
the u. S. Hotel on the west as is nee
essary for a site for the splendid struc.
ture allotted Mineral Point, but AS a
proviso in connection Herewith, the
government deemed it necessary that
the city should open street from High
to the north and Immediately west of
the chosen site. This would be at the
Mrs. Joseph Grbble residence, Just
above the old livery barn. At various
times for fifty years or more the open
ing Of street at this point has been
agitated, the last time about year ago.
The council was unanimous in response
to the request, and now something ae-
tive in the way Of street opening and
construction of the federal building
may be looked for in the near future.

where Kelly and the horses were
snatched by the merciess waters and
robbed of their lives, as near there and
to the west Mr.. Kelly's body was found
about four hours afterward, the vehi-
Gle not very far from him and upside
down, while the horses were found a
! little below where the currents met.
The accident had a very depressing
effect on this community, and well it
might, as MIR. Kelly who had been of it
| for some years, had proved himself a
genial, upright, intelligent and indus
trious young man. Had he lived until
the 18th of next May he would have
been Is years of age. He was born
in Dodgeville, and was graduate of
the high school of that place. On Feb.
3, 1909, he was united in marriage to
Miss Eunice C. Blewett, an accom-
plished and esteemed young lady of
this city, the youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. II. Blewett. They resid-
ed for time on farm near Dodge
vile, then spent nearly two years in
the state of Washington, and upon
their return Mr. Kelly was employed
by the company he was serving at the
time he lost his life.
To the relatives this untimely pass
ing has brought a sorrow that cannot
be measured A faithful companion
and four precious children, the young
est tender babe of six months, are
by this strange will of Providence de-
prived of the companionship and pater
nal protection of one whose inspiration
in his lifework was the comfort and
happiness of his family. He loved his
home and fireside. The Tribune is sure
that all hearts go out in tenderest
sympathy to the devoted wife who is
especially bereaved.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home Tuesday erorninaa by Row.
w. j. C. Bond. Interment in Dodge
vile.
In addition to the foregoing sad
chronicling as result of the storm il
ia reported that two men were drowned
at Gratiot, one at Dill and one at Ha-
Eel Green.
The floods played havoc generally
over wide section with railroads in
particular, tracks, beds and bridges be-
ing washed away. The st. Paul has
been unable to connect with Mineral
Point since last Friday, not getting any
nearer than Monroe. The M. z. n N.
Jared badly, but is now running trains.
Land has been guttered badly and
fences swept away. Damage to build
ings ard live stock but slight, yet the
loss on the whole Is great.
The worst swept section is along the
Pecatonica valley between Calamine
and Gratiot, distance of about fifteen
miles and through which the st. Paul
railway runs. The city of Darlington,
situated between these two points, was
inundated pretty well up to the center
of her business section.
Galena had as much water rush into
her business streets rs any town here
abouts.

was terrific down pour of rain during
the early hours of Saturday morning,
and the results were heavy floods,
death and gloom for this community.
AT 8 O'Clock that morning, after it
had stopped raining but before the
fog had cleared away, Messrs Lester
Kelly and VIM. Gillian, employees of the
Mineral Point Public Service Company
started with livery team of j. B.
Harkers for Linden, where Mr., Gillian
was to attend to some defect in
electrical appliances in one Of the mines
at that place. When they reached the
foot of what is known as the Spensley
furnace hill, mile west of town, they
found the highway across the low land
at that place overlooked with rushing
waters. Not realizing the depth of the
water or its swiftness the team was
urged onward At point about half
way across where the rampant current
was the deepest and swiftest the horses
floundered and were whirled abruptly
down with the current. Mr.. Gillian not
being driver was tipped or jumped from
the rig at once, and succeeded in grab
bling onto fence post near by. To
this he chung in icy water up to his
armpits fully half an hour before a res
cuing force could reach him, and had he
not been stout, robust man the mer-
CHESS waters would have ended his ca

in gain to get on the upper side of the
post but the current was so strong he
found it impossible. One of the Ellsworth
boys endeavored to reach him on horse
back from the other or west side but
couldn't In few minutes, however,
