WRITING on /. Movino Train.


Writing legibly on q fast moving
train is difficult to q person unaccus-
toned to do it. The railroad conductor
knows the trick of it and manages to
get along quite satisfactorily. He pre-
fers to write in a standing position and
holds his right elbow firmly against his
side. The reason for this is that in a
sitting posture thele is too much lat
eral movement in the trunk Of the
body, while in a standing position this
is more easily controlled.
When the arm swings freely, as in
ordinary writing, several joints of the
body are affected in the process, each
Of which is capable Of its own motion.
Holding the elbow against ones ribs
breaks those motion tendencies, ex-
cept that of the wrist, which movement
is necessary in writing, and thus the
pencil or pen is more easily controlled.

Charles supplied the wind. His blow

Cautious,

A lawyer happened to be acquainted
with q juror in a petty civil case, and
he met him during q recess of the court.
The lawyer was just lighting up" and
under ordinary circumstances he would
have offered the other a cigar unhesi-
tatingly, but it occurred to him that it
might not look right.
81 suppose" he said guardedly, "that
a cigar would not influence your YER
dict?"
The Juror was equally cautious.
"A good one wouldn't" he replied,
''but q poor one might prejudice me-"
He got a good cigar.-Br0oklyn Eagle.

Heart and LUNGS.

The action Of the heart, lungs and d.
gestve system is Involuntary, for the
reason that it is indispensable to life
and must be carried IN under all cir.
cumstances. If a man had to think of
his heart or had to remember that he
must breathe or that his food must d.
gest he would have no time to do any
thing else, and If by chance he should
forget to keep his heart going or his
lungs in operation he would fall dead
on the spot.

Hard to Hear AirpIans ut Sea.

While it is widely known that an air.

of on land, on water the tapping Of the
waves and the whistling Of the wind
through the rigging and superstructure
of q vessel make 1t almost impossible
to hear the power plant of an approach

hence the submarine plying the sur

THEPRESSOF
WISCONSIN 70
YEARS AGO

No more striking contrast between
present-day Wisconsin and that of 70
years ago can be afforded than by the
figures pertaining to the press of the
State. In the summer of 1916 Wis
consin boasted fifteen weekly and one
daily newspapers. The total capital
invested: in the printing and publish
ing business cannot fall much short
of S25,000," while the total business
transacted by the printers twill prob
ably range at $4,000 per anum." The
total newspaper circulation of the Ter
ritory was supposed to equal 5000
issues weekly, this exclusive of the
one daily paper which had a circula-
ton of 1900 per diem-1,800 per week
$4,000 per year" Notwithstand-
ing these imposing figures the editor
who presents them was convinced that
several promising openings in Wiscon-
sin still awaited exploiting. In par
ticular Prairie du Chen was deemed
the best location for a newspaper in
since in addition to being
the county town of Crawford County
it was the great emporium for all
northern Wisconsin and Iowa."

A few months later a meeting of the

REPORT ON
PROSPECTS

An effort is being made by the Wis
consin Anti Tuberculosis Association
to enlist the examining boards, health
departments, County Councils of De-
Tense, physicians and public generally
in state wide movement to sift out
consumptives from the list of men re-
jected from the conscripts for military
service. The compulsory examina-
tons will discover many hundreds of
sufferers from tuberculosis, who, ex-
cept for Consumption would not have
presented themselves for chest exam

In Milwaukee, % out of the first
2S4 men examined were tuberculosis
suspects. Their cases have been held
open for further examination.
Every examining physician is being
asked to keep a list of the suspects
which will later afford invaluable evil

will be doomed to furnish large pro-
portion of the states victims Of this
preventable durable disease.
"No such opportunity as this has
ever hitherto existed for the early dis
covery of the disease and please God,
there will never be another" said the
Executive Secretary of the Wisconsin
Anti Tuberculosis Association. We
have known that with the early dis
covery and proper treatment Of the
sufferers the disease could be wiped
out of existence.
"There has been the tremendous
diff cffiulty however, Of discovering a
very large proportion of victims. The
draft examination will disclose the
disease and now we wish to secure as
much benefit for the public and the
men themselves from the examinations
as we can"
1t is possible that the number of
newly discovered cases will be so great
as to require increased sanitarium and
hospital facilities. It is likely that so
many cases will be discovered that
special dispensaries, at least, will be
required to meet the need.
Already in Milwaukee, steps are be-
ing taken to utilize all available dis
pensary facilities and secure extensive
additions as the demands increase.

A GIANT EARLY
WISCONSIN

In the territorial days of Wiscon-
sins history, there lived on a farm
midway between Mineral Point and
Platteville, a Scotchman of truly gi-
gantic proportions. Seven and one
half feet tall and weighing APO pounds
he was splendidly proportional and
without pound of surplus avoirduposi
He was man of scholarly tastes, fond
of reading and literature Of him
some interesting stories are told by a
neighbor boy, writing later years for
the Wisconsin Historical Society. His
hands were not unduly small, for he
could span thirteen inches from tip of
thumb to the end of his little finger.
On one occasion he came, bareheaded,
to the neighbor for a setting of duck
eggs. The housewife asked what he
had to carry them in, to which he re-
piled that one of his hands was suf-
ticient and he proceeded to carry the
whole setting of eggs home in one
hand.
The wife of this interesting indivi-
dual was worthy mate, being herself
six feet four inches in height. Nat
urally such couple did not escape
the attention of P. T. Barnum, who
put them into his show alongside the
famous dwarf, General" Tom Thumb.

What LACROSS
VAS LIKE
IN 1854

Mr.. Colman of LaCross has had re-
printed by photomechanical process
the rare copy, owned by the State His
torical Society Library, of Rev. Spen-
Ger Carr's Brief History of LaCross,
Wisconsin, published in 1854. The
Brief History was city history, d.
rectory, census, and promoting tract
all in one. All unmindful of the as
tonishing development shortly to take
place at the Falls of St. Anthony, the
hopeful author boldly afrms that La
Cross (then village of 745 souls) has
commercial advantages superior to
those possessed by any other western
city,, Chicago and st. Louis possibly
excepted. The census statistics re-
veal that seventy-eight "single gentle
men" and thirty-eight "single Ladies"
then lived in LaCross; furthermore,
that included in the 745 persons in the
village were nine doctors and twelve
lawyers. 1t seems evident that some
of these men agreed with the author
of the pamphlet in his optimistic views
of the towns future growth.
