Preventing Disease.

The only way to prevent such dis,
eases from spreading is for every child
who has cold a cough or sore
throat or feels out Of sorts o be very
careful not to put In Its mouth or to
cough over or to handle anything
which other children are to use. A
child who is not absolutely wen should
be particularly careful to keep away
from babies, because babies are so
much more likely to suffer seriously if
they catch disease

Carnauba Wax.

Carnauba wax is made from the
leaves of the carnauba plant, indigen-
GUS to the state of Piauhy, Ceara, and
Rio Grande do Norte, in northeastern
Brazil, whose roots are used locally as
medicine, whose branches are used for
bridge and housebuilding because they
resist the attacks Of insects, and whose
fibers are used in rope and paper
making; the wax has been used extern
sively in adulterating beeswax, but is
finding an honest market on its mer-
its, not only for candle manufacture,
but for coating the insulating mate
rial of electric wires, etc.; the annual
production of wax in Rio Grande do
Norte is about 450 tons year, valued
at about $250,O00; perhaps three
fourths of this is exported; but the for
ests of carnauba plant can produce. II

Mr.. NICHOLS of the National Re-
search council, addressing the annual
meeting of the American Chemical So
ciety, recently declared the greatest
known deposit of potash in the world
to be Searles lake, California. This
lake as estimated by the Geological
survey holds in solution 100000 tons
of the mineral. The worth in money
value is estimated at more than one
billion dollars. When it is remembered
that of old the American supply of pot
ash came from Germany, and that the
Importance of the mineral in commerce
and in the making of munitions is great,
this discovery cannot be lightly dis
missed. To Illustrate the would-be
world monopolies of Germany, the
chemical society will demand that con-
gress take action and acquire this vast
store of an asset that would greatly
facilitate operations in both wartime
emergency and peaceful commercial
fields.

What the Future May Have in Store

A new phase of the political align
ment after the conclusion of the war is
presented by eX-Congressman Murphy
that is interesting,
Politicians of the old school appar-
emily ignore the fact that all the cur
rents of political life have been chang
ed perhaps forever by our necessary
entrance as a participating nation in
the world war. Those politicians to
whom party name has meant all there
is to political life, would do we'll to
consider whether any man can now
predict what the fiscal, trade and labor
policies of this nation will be when this
war is over and we settle down to
peaceful pursuits again.
Yesterday we were at peace and the
then existing things difference between
political parties arose over conditions
of agriculture, manufacture and trade
in days of almost universal peace.
On some tomorrow the war will end,
and what of the day after that NOR
row? On that day several million men
from 81 to IS years of age, who have
been associated together as brothers,
ignoring all past political differences,
will return from the war, as brothers
that try mems souls.
They will know little Of and care lit
tie for the political theories of their
fathers in the past. Their faces will
be toward the future. The political
world when they come back to it will
be world absolutely new, and they
will be perhaps as wise as the oldest
politicians. At any rate they will be
the men of action who will work out
the success or failure of this nation in
that new world. They will come as
members of one organization, as ma
tional patriots, and they will have but
one designation for their opponents,
the opprobious name of tories. Those
who have supported the government
and the soldiers will be remembered
not as democrats, not as republicans.
but as patriotic citizens.
Those who did not support the gov
eminent and the army will be remem-
bered as tories.
Our politicians who imagine the mere
label of political party of the days
before the war will be sufficient to ad-
NIT men to high office in the days after
war, may find the party labels of old
political parties ignored in favor of a
label stamped in the mint of war with
the simple name of Patriot or National.

Belgian Children's Milk Fund

On the evening of Saturday, Dec.
s, there will be given at Royal Hall,
a lecture by Rev. John B. de Vile,
on conditions as he found them in
Belgium. The Chicago Record Her
aid chose Rev. de Vile to go into Bel
gium to investigate conditions there
and to return with very detailed re
port of what seemed advisable and
necessary to do for the reported
starving children of the country.
Upon return of Rev. de Vile, the
Belgian Children's Milk Fund" was
organized with Hon. Henry Van
Dyke as president. The Belgian gov
eminent controls the fund, its Euro
pean factions includes Cardinal Mer-
cier, Queen Elizabeth of Belgium and
many other notables. In America
Rev. C. H. Parkhurst, Pres. T. J.
Shahen of the Catholic University at
Washington, and host of other men
of prominence.
Rev. de Vile is one Of the most
noted of American orators. He
would ordinarily command one hun
dred or one hundred fifty dollars per
lecture. He comes to Edgerton with
out charge. He will describe the
situation prevailing in that desolate
land of starvation and death. No ad
mission will be charged. If Rev. de
Vile convinces you of the dire need
of Belgium, you will be given oppor-
tunity to make voluntary contribu-
ton for the starving children of oc-
cupied Belgium, that the essential
milk may be brought to them.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-11-30

DID you ever stop to figure out why
the government is able to virtually
turn the country upside down? 1t is
not because some people are growing
rich; since greater number have sur
rendered their very existence to put on
the uniform of their country, or are
anticipating doing so. The United
States has been true to it's faith with
its people, and that's why the nation
stands almost as unit for the national
defense. Men, women and children,
nearly all of whom hate war and its
wastes and consequences, are willing
to accept it, if the defense of the gov
eminent requires it. Liberty is big
thing, apparently it thrives best in re-
publics, and that's why our war ma
chine runs smoothly.
