MOUNTAIN TORRENTS HAIR
MESSED TO ELECTRIFY THE
mil WAUKEE" OVER
THE ROCKIES

In the Businesses Of the western
mountains, millions of tons Of water
have for ages wasted their energy
Meanwhile, to haul the country's traffic
over the vast ramparts Of the Rockies
by steam traction, has meant the con:
sumption of an enormous quantity of
the nations coal supply and high oper-
ating expenses.
It has been reserved for the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway to
change all this-to abandon steam as
motive power in the mountains and
to use the limitless energy of the har
messed streams to electrically operate
it's trains.
The identification Of 440 miles of
main line (115 miles now in operation
passing mile. high over the Great Con
tinental Divide. marks a new era in
railroading and erects another mile
stone in the worlds progress.
1t means, the conservation of re-
sources, more efficient and economical
operation, better maintenance of sched-
ules, smoother riding, aud notable in
crease in travel delights.
In arranging your next trip to the
Pacific North Coast, remember that it
is only the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Ry. that offers the advantage of
the short, direct electrified line.
For literature and full information
apply to local ticket agent of this rail
way.

A Runaway Accident.

Richland Center Democrat: William
Chandler has been on the crippled list
for week past, as the result of a run
away accident. He was driving one of
Hugh Poole's teams and was enroute to
Viola with the Wertz paraphernalia.
North Of the city his wagon met with
an accident and he was forced to go to
farm yard near by and get another,
which had upon it hay rack. In
driving out of the yard the rack slipped
forward, striking the horses, and they
broke into a mad run. Chandler stayed
with them until in passing another rig,
his wagon was forced to the side of the
road and over sod obstruction, which
threw the front end of the rack from
the wagon and he went under the whole
outfit. The result was a painfully cut
face and an arm and shoulder out of
commission, though luckily no bones
were broken.

SHULLSBURG.

Pick and Cad: Mr. and Mrs Hoberg er
of Seymour met with quite serious
accident last Friday morning while re-
turning from Mass at the Seymour
church. Their horse became unm an
ageable and ran away throwing the
lady and little child out but neither
were seriously hurt Mr. Hoberger was
thrown under the horses feet and the
buggy passed over him. He was I'M
conscious when picked up but is recov-
ering nicely He is the cheesemaker
at Seymour Corners and the accident
will probably interfere with his duties
for few days.
George Lindsey of Mineral Point
was here early this week looking at the
photograph gallery of the late H. B.
! Chamberlain with view to purchasing.
We understand he has no intention Of
locating here but will still live at Min
eral Point There is a good opening
here for someone who is looking for a
good business and a permanent home.
One of our readers tells us he saw
four meadow larks Saturday Just
now the indications for an early spring
seem good.
The little child of Mr. and Mrs
Thomas Fleming had rather peculiar
experience last week. 1t complained of
it's toe hurting and as the parents were
unable to find any cause for the swell :
ing and pain, a physician was called.
He found a hair bound tightly around
the toe and imbedded in the flesh. Cir
culation was prevented and the member
was so badly swollen and in1amed that
it was difficult to relieve the sufferer.

Price or Overalls ADVANCING.

Richland Republican Observer: In
telling about Overalls, an exchange
says, you can't buy them and you
Can steal them" However, it is not
quite that bad yet, but it may be soon
us far as the cOlored ones are concerned.
Overalls are going up in price and
going up fast. Dealers cannot now
buy overalls at the price they are re-
failing for. 1t is said that within d
few weeks the garment manufacturers
OF the country will be forced to shut
down their factories for lack of dive
sLutfs unless d substitute Can be found
ina diately. The situation is described
by tue garment workers as the most
critical III the whole history of the in :
duatry. The blue denim from which
most ali Overails are made is so scarce
that new concern couldn't purchase
the goods no matter what price they
offered, aud the old concerns can get
only Il very limited supply and that at
very high prices. German dyed denim
WON'T be in existence in America with
in few weeks and AS yet no suitable
substitute has been found.

ly Yuan Shih Kai and his family enjoy
little liberty.
The president takes his exercise
chiefly in drilling a section Of the mod
ern army in the Forbidden City, while
several of his sons play football and
skate on the frozen lakes within the
great walls inclosing the palace
grounds.
Skating is also affording recreation
for legation staffs and legation guards
in Picking, which has been more or less
isolated as a result Of the bitter feel
ing growing out of the European war.
Practically all of the legations have
their own temporary skating Kinks
built in their compounds. These Kinks
are covered with bamboo mating to
protect the ice from the sun and dust.
The American legation rink is practi-
cally the only rink in Picking where
visitors Of all European powers are en-
tertained. However, the legation Off
GERS have set apart certain days for
the entertainment of visitors belonging
to the entente powers and different
days for the German and Austrian
guests.

MUZZLING CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES.

If every sufferer from grippe, colds
tuberculosis, measles, mumps, scarlet teve: 8,
whoopiDg cough, diphtheria, and sore throat
could be induced to hold handkerchief over
his mouth when he coughs or sGeezes, the num-
Der Of cases of these diseases would at once be
reduced tremendously. In coughing and sneez-
ing fine atomiZed spray is thrown out which
floats out and around the room not unlike tiny
balloons. These droplets, small they are
are capable Of carrying a sufficient number of
germs to enable an individual whose resistance
is low to contract the disease especially when
in pI olonged contact with victim or in short
contacts with number of victims.
Experiments have been conducted
with harmless germs by which it has been
proved that culture plates GLASS dishes con-
tanning good soil for growth Of germs could be
infected or seeded during coughing and talk
ing at distance as great as Il fset, and in
draughts as far as 80 feet, From this it will be
avoided by susceptible people when contagious
diseases are prevalent.
One student GA investigating the
manner in which disease germs are transmitted
from one to another, found that some of the
little droplets OF infected saliva elected curing
coughing, sneezing and talking might float
about IL the still air of q room for five hours.
These facts make 1t easy TO com
prehend how necessary it is for people to adopt
new methods Of avoiding the ''giving'' and
taking Of diseases which attack the throat,
nose, and and lungs.
The New York Health Department. in
recognition Of the Importance Of coughing and
sneezing in the conveying of disease germs
from the sick to the we'll has launched public
educational campaign through newspapers,
sign boards, schools and other educational
channels. In Waupaca Il number Of teachers
are spreading the new knowledge by novel
plan introduced there by visiting school
nurse. The names OF ali children who cough or
sneeZe into the free air placed upon the
blackboard. The fact that Teacher has been
caught, also. has given added zest to the game.
Consideration OF the laws OF hygiene,
of self preservation and Of common politeness
demand that g handkerchief be held before the
face during coughing or sneezing.
Ultimately most people viii resent
Indifference to these laws as they now do care
less splitting and other offensive persona habits.
