f. r. Pauline of The Service Co.,
of DEBORAH, whose parents reside at
Galesville, Wis, writes him that an
epidemic started in their city last
week and that residents were dying
at the rate of two or three a day.
Doctors from many cities were

from milk. An autopsy was per-
formed on one Of the persons who
died and a germ was found in the
throat, and a similar one in the milk
they had been using. 1t is stated
that the milk was fed to rabbit and
the animal died inside of four hours.

Mrs. j. j. McAndrews Sprains Ankle.
Saturday evening Mrs. j. j. Nc
Andrews sustained bad fall. She
was on her way home and had just
got across the Water street bridge
and started down the incline from
the bridge, which is about IL feet
long, reaching to the sidewalk in
front of the Richard Schrubbe home.
Mrs. McAndrews slid to the bottom
of the approach, which was covered
with ice, and she sustained a bad
sprain of the left ankle. She crawled
to the bridge and helped herself up
getting hold of the railing, and for
tunately DR.. Jewell came along on
his way home, moment after the
accident, and he assisted her back to
her mothers home just across the
bridge and gave her medical atten-
ton, and then got his automobile
and took her to her home. She has
been unable to walk since, and it will
be several weeks perhaps before she
will be able to.

ter coming here Mr.. Rosenthal, who
was then only young fellow, 10
years old, decided he wanted an ed
ucation, and so became a student at
the late John Breckenridge's Insti-
tute, where he studied hard for few
months, and acquired a pretty good
insight into our American life, and
secured much valuable knowledge,
which has stood him well in hand
since. After leaving the school he
secured a position with X. l. Haug-
en-, and worked for him seven years.
At the end of that time he was anx-
lious to start in business for himself,
having saved up little money, and
the opportunity came to him when
Hammond Smith, who conducted a
grocery where Mr.. Rosenthaps store,
now is, wanted to sell out, so the lat
ter purchased the store, and has con
Quoted it successfully ever since.
About a year ago Mr.. Rosenthal,
purchased the building and has made
many extensive improvements in it.
During all these thirty years Mr..
Rosenthal has strived hard to build
up a successful, honest business, and
it is well known fact that he has
succeeded admirably. Honesty in all
transactions was one of his maXims,
and he made it point always to give
every customer square deal, and as
a result he built up fine business
that he has every reason to feel
proud over. 81
For the past few years he has had
the valuable assistance of two of HIS.
sons, Rene and Constance, and they
have developed into first-class mer-
chants and know the business from
A to Y.
Mr.. Rosenthal is man who gained
the friendship and esteem of all
when he came to DEBORAH, and he
has lived and conducted his Business
so that he has held those friendships
all these years, and he stands today
among the able and representative
business men of this city. During his
life here he has carefully noted and
utilized his opportunities, making
each moment count, and his exam
pie of unremitting industry and
perseverance is one well worthy of
emulation.
Mr.. Rosenthal will put on a big
anniversary sale for three days,
starting next week Thursday, March
20 and will continue for three days.
During those three days big specials
from all departments of the store.
will be put on. A large advertise
ment in this issue of Public Opinion
gives all information concerning the
big sales days. ~.
In concluding we wish to extend
profuse congratulations to this well
known merchant on reaching his
thirtieth business anniversary, and
extend to him good wishes, health
and prosperity for many years to
come.

the car of 1917 a cheaper vehicle to tire companies will no doubt gener- ally raise their prices in a very short time, yet even at that the driver will probably have lower tire cost per mile on account of the better design of the tire and the, greatly increased toughness of thread.
 Tires are supplied by the car man. ufacturers are also larger in sec tional diameter than they were, an easier cushion and also render them proof against damage to a very large extent when imitation pressures are not as carefully kept up as they ought to be.
 Better Carbureters.
 { While fuel has been going down in quality, the carbureter and car manufacturers have been successfully combating the situation with better lcarbureters and nanifolds to vapor- ize the poor product and to utilize il to higher efficiency. The greater use of heat in aiding carburetion has been one of the features of the year Everyone is now at least partial pre- heating the air by means of stove or the exhaust pipe and a great many are preheating all the air that enters the engine. /
 Altogether the car ofi1917 is better than it's predecessor. Although it is 10 per cent. higher in price it is SC per cent. higher in efficiency. Dollal for dollar it, is a better, bet even al the advanced price.

buretor, I cranked the car in the morning and that was good for all day. Even when the engine was stop ped for an hour, I could invariably start on the spark.
 The engine on this car has never been taken down. but this spring, J am planning to give it thorough overhauling, and I need the price list so I can order replacements for all worn parts None of the garages out here seem to have a price list for this model of your car. The car number and the motor number are the same, No. 30S8.
 Yours very truly,

Automobile progress for the year 1916 can be sulamed up complete ly under the heads Of Comfort and Performahce. 1t has been the car users greatest year. Never before has the annual list of improvement shown 50 much for the man who
 A 1917 car will go further on the same quantity of fuel. 1t. will go faster: throttle down to slower speed on high gear: accelerate more rapid Iy and at the same time give more riding comfort than ever before.
 Previous years have been great successes from tthe manufacturers viewpoint. The principles of produc- ton have now been learned and in 1916 the designer has turned his at tention toward making the car a bet ter vehicle from the users stand point. He has succeeded.
 Great Ingenuity Needed.
 The automobile engineer sums up all the above qualities under the gen. oral head of performance. To attain this better performance in the face of the fact that gasoline has descend ed in quality to, a remarkable extent has required a great amount of tn- genuity. Scan the improvements of the year as closely as you will and not one radical change do you see. Where improvement has been made 1t has been matter of detail.
 In 1915, we had the introduction of the tw&lve-cylinder engine on a commercial basis. In 1914 the V shaped motor held the premier posi- ton in the list of innovations. In 1918 the straight-line body, the unit power plant and block cast cylinders were points to be argued over. In 1912 we were still debating left and right drive and still had with us all the misht remnants of the electric lighting and starting discussion of 1911.
 All the distractions of differences Of opinion of electricity versus acetylene, right drive versus left, three speeds versus four, and the rest of the list have passed away. The issue for 1916 was to produce a bet ter car for the user, and it has been done.
 q Rise in Materials.
 Were 1t not for the unprecedent- cd rise in materials. cars would have been cheaper this year than ever before. As 1t is, the rise in the material cost has not been borne by the purchaser to a very great extent. The manufacturer has taken a part of the burden, and a greater part at that
 Metals have advanced from 15 to 60 per cent: even the fabric in the tires has advanced from 100 to 12E per cent. over a year ago, and yet, in spite sof increases all along the line cars have gone up but 9 or 10 per cent In other words on a SI,000 car $100 has been added. For this $100 the purchaser is getting for

means the development of 1S,0OO sparks a minute. A few. years ago this would have been declared irn- possible.
 In the little details of equipment the same great care is noticeable. Steering wheels are larger to give better leverage, clutch pedals are not so hard to depress, gears are simpler to shift and driving is generally cas- fer. Even cooling, which was stand ardized in most respects, has come in for it's share of refinement and more water space and better pumps are found on the cars of 1917 than of 1916.

Washington's Birthday Known As "Indian Day"
 In Motorcycle World

Once more February, 22, washing tons birthday, has been selected by the Hendee Manufacturing company, Springfield, Mass, makers of the in- ternationally famed Indian Motor cycle and Indian Bicycle, as INDIAN DAY.
 INDIAN DAY has been extremely popular throughout this country and marks the formal opening of the mo- torcycle season. X It has become an annual feature in motorcycledom, which is looked forward to with great anticipation by the vast army of motorcycle enthusiasts.
 Bridgeport Cycle Co.,, local dis tributors of Indian products, will ob- serve INDIAN DAY with open house and will have on exhibition the 1917 motorcycle sensation, the In- dian Big Twin with Powerplus Motor. The new Indian Light Twin with it's opposed motor, which was the center of attraction at both the Chicago and New York Motorcycle Shows, will un- doubtedly be viewed with great in- terest, as the opposed type of motor has never been used in this country until brought out by the Hendee Manufacturing Company in their new Light Twin. The famous line of Indian Bicycles will, also, be shown.
 Extensive plans have been perfect ed to entertain all those interested in the high mechanical development of the motorcycle, for the Indian Mo- torcycle represents the greatest per- lection in motorcycle engineering. The Indian Motorcycle with Power plus Motor represents the final achievement of the Hendee Manu- featuring company, the pioneer man. ufacturers of motorcycles.
 The public is cordially invited to drop in and examine these finished products-the master motorcycles of al! times. Those fascinated by the allurement of this most healthy of all out-of-doors' sports will find much to

 Little Details Altered.
 To the motor wise the little de- tails that have been altered to give better performance will be of great interest. Go to any of the exhibits of the up-todate concerns who have a. cut-away chassis on exhibition and study the engine. The block-cast cylinders are used on most, and these are familiar to those who have visit- ed the shows previous years. The pistons will be noted, however, as one ! of the points which have been inn l proved. This year they are lighter than ever before. This light weight 1 in the piston and the counter balance weights on the crankshaft are respon- sible for a very large part of the bet ter performance because they have permitted of higher engine speeds through the reduction of vibration. Look at the crankshaft. Each year it is growing sturdier, and this year the problem of balance has | been studied as never before. At l high speeds balance becomes enor- l mous1y important. It's importance. as a matter of mathematics, Increases as the square of the engine speed. En- zine speeds have increased IS to 20 1 per cent. all along the line during , the year, figure for yourself what must have been done in balance.
 Clutches are lighter Tb the user of the car this means that it is easier to disengage the clutch, less pedal pressure being required. It all so means less flashing in changine gears. The horrible grinding noise is rarely heard on a modern car.
 More Room Provided.
 Bodies not only have more room 1 but the space is more scientifically utilized. It is easier to get into the car, more comfortable while the pas sengers are in, and easier to get out Wider doors, adjustable seats for any leg length and more clearance ir tight places are the reasons. The up. holstery is also better. There are a great many more varieties in the wa, of upholstery arrangement. One ot the methods which is growing in pop.
