The health department of great
state mot Wisconsin, requires that a
person who has died of tuberculosis
may not be given public funeral ex-
cept the body be wrapped in dsinfect-
ants and contained in sealed metal
casket. This is not merely an old an
tiuuated idea. 1t is pointed to with
pride by those in authority as evidence
of the care exercised in safeguarding
the public health.
AS health protective measure, it rs
worse than tommyrot. 1t is mis-
leading, tyrannical, and benighted dis
play of force that is unWarranted by
any modern conception of the manner
in which this disease, at least, may be
spread. If there is one time when
consumptive is absolutely safe, 1t is
when he is dead.
In another state, man, who holds
himself out as an authority on tubei-
culosis, stated that large amount OF
consumption in a certain neighborhood
could be accounted for by the alleged
fact that the people drank well water
which was polluted by drainage from a
cemetery in which large number of
people who died of consumption were
buried. This is likewise nothing but
nonsense in the face of SCIENTIFIC
knowledge concerning bacteria and
contagious disease ss
The real harm that comes from such
misleading actions and talk as cited
above, lies in the fact that the truth is
crowed out of the minds of people who
can and do believe such things. No
body who really UNDERSTANDINGS tuber-
culosis and most other contagious
diseases are spread by coughing, sneez-
ing, splitting, and talking could make
such mistakes. The health depart
ment which spends it's money and en-
ergy on policing the burial of the dead
will have little left to devote OF the
living.
When we change our nonsenslcal
views and superstitions concerning the
spread of germ diseases we shall have
fair chance to get rid of contagious
disease. And we shall not make much
progress until we do
One thing that everybody should
know concerning disease germs is that
they are not leaping or flying animals.
AS a rule, they are small plants with
no more disposition to leave their
homes than has seaweed to leave the
water. While disease germs may
occasionally live for long time outside
the warm body of victim, they do
not thrive under such circumstances.
What we most need to guard against is
the direct transference Of disease
germs from a warm, moist, breeding
place in one person to an equally favor
able garden spot in another. Coughing
sneezing, and splitting are the greatest
"seeders'' of contagious diseases.

FRIDAY JANUARY IL, 1917.
ARE WE LOSING OUR ENERGY?

If prices of provisions keep on CHIMP
ing as they have been doing during one
past year the effect should be a great
stimulus to the black to the farm
movement of which we have heard so
much the past decade.
Common sense and observation
should teach any man that one OF the
main causes of the high cost of food
stuffs is the growing scarcity of farm
labor and the consequent curtailment
of acreage cultivated. Thousands OF
farmers all over this country, unable
to secure adequate help, are gradually
curtailing their operations until 1t is nc
uncommon sight to see farm that
formerly sold four or five hundred bu-
shells of corn now hardly producing
enough to feed the stock and fatten the
pork.
OF course we all know that a gang OF
unprincipled blood suckers have seized
upon the war as an excuse for boosting
the price of everything that we con-
sumo, but if scarcity of production
did not exist the foreign demand fol
foodstuffs would be met and there
would still remain in this country a
sufficient quantity to supply all home
demands at reasonable prices.
Just why young men, and older ones
;,b 70 Loo tha farm q M
rush off to tie overcrowed cities is not
easy to understand True, they work
hard on the farm. And equally true,
they work even harder the city and
save less In majority of cases, un-
less they are intellectually far above
the average of mankind, they live In
penury and die in want.
With the present demand for farm
products it would certainly appear the
height of folly to abandon the certain
ty of plenty on the farm for the pre-
carioHs life of the average city dweller.
Looked at from whatever angle we
may viewIt. the question of the future
of the farm is serious That our young
men are leaving it by the thousands is
a fact. That there are none to replace
them is q lameutable fact.
And in endeavoring to locate the
cause one is almost forced to the con-
olusiOn that the men of this nation are
gradually losing that love of honest
toll for which their forefathers were
noted
