FRESH AIR NEEDS
ARE CONSTANT
Commissioner Dixon Says
That Hospitals Should Con-
slider the Question

Patients in hospitals often do not
get the fresh dir they should have
unless it is summer time declares
DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commits
sioner of Health, in some observa-
tions upon the prime Importance of
fresh air in hospitals as we'll as the
home. The Commissioner says that
man has reached his present state
of development because he appre-
ciated the value of fresh air and that
il is now recognized as essential to
maintenance of health.
DIR. Dixon says:
Owing to the various demands of
civilization we find it hard to be
where we can best earn u livelihood
and at the same time dwell in an at
mosphere sufficiently pure to main
tain perfect health. Not only the
medical profession, but now the gen.
eral public, appreciates that in the
cure of tuberculosis of the lungs
fresh air is essential, and, therefore,
all our best hospitals are built and
managed so that the patients may
receive the maximum of fresh air.
Purity of air is necessary for the
sick. This is often lost sight OF by
patients and those to whose care
they are entrusted. During the con-
valescenCe of patients from acute
diseases in cold weather, we find in
homes and hospitals where there are
the greatest luXuries that those in
attendance on the sick often neglect
maintaining the regulation tempera-
ture. The patient does not get his
fresh air unless it happens to be
summer. Physicians, internes and
nurses, who have to be up and down
at all times of the day and night
are often thoughtless of those whom
they serve and often fail to dress
themselves sufficiently for protec-
ton against the cold air that the
patient in bed should receive if those
in charge are to get the best results.
They should measure the tempera-
ture of the room by a thermometer
and not by their own feelings. This
is an important fact to be remem-
bered by both patient and care
takers

COLOMBIA TREATY Is
KILLED BY THE SENATE
Senator Stone Withdraws Pact for
s25,ooo,ooo Payment-More Neoo-
tiations to Follow

! Washington, March 19.-The treaty
with Colombia, to pay $25,000,000 for
the partition of Panama, was with
drawn from the senate on Friday on
motion of Chairman Stone Of the for
eign relations committee.
Senator Stones action was taken to
foreshadow further diplomatic negotia-
lions with Colombia for new treaty,
which would not be received with such
strong objections. An effort to frame
more acceptable treaty is expected
before the congress, which convenes In
special session April 10. has ad-
journed.
Withdrawal OF the treaty was ex-
pected in view of the announcement
that President Wilson wished the
treaty ratified because of the situation
in which the United States might find
itself in Central America.
The attitude of the administration
in the withdrawal of the treaty was
not openly disclosed, but it was APP
parent that such action would not have
been taken without q previous under
standing.
Sudden withdrawal of the treaty
with Colombia and postponement until
the session of April 10 is explained by
developments disclosing an offer OF
Colombia TO reconsider certain provi-
sions as to condemnation of Roose-
relt's course In taking Panama, also
to reduce amount of award and partlc-
ulurly to add provisions allowing ex-
ira Notifications on the cost of Co
lombia by the United States and an
agreement not to allow any European
or Asiatic nation privileges of naval
or military base without the consent
of the United States.

RECORD ORDER FOR
BIG u. S. WARSHlPS
Contracts for Cruisers to Cost Over
100000 oo0-No Need to
Commander.

Washington, March 17.-COntracts
for what Is believed to be the largest
single order for fighting craft ever
given by any nation were placed by
the navy department.
Private builders undertook to turn
out four great battle cruisers and six
scout cruisers. costing nearly $112,-
100000 for bulls and machinery alone,
and pledged themselves TO keep 20 per
cent OF their working forces on navy
construction.
In response to an appeal to their
patriotism by Secretary Daniels, the
major shipbuilders have agreed to ac-
cept 10 per cent net profit on the bat
tie cruisers, whose cost will represent
about $76,000,000 of the total sum in
vOlved in the contracts. A fifth bat
tie cruiser will be built at the Phia-
delphia navy yard.
The builders are besieged with Of
fers of merchant work, and are get
ting as high as 80 per cent cent profit
on these jobs. with more work in sight
than they can do. They have placed
their facilities at the disposal of the
government, making it unnecessary for
the president TO consider employing
authority to commander plants.
Both classes of cruisers ordered are
new types to naval architecture, and
are designed for speed of 80 knots
an hour
The scouts were awarded on bids
submitted, prices ranging from So
100000 TO S5,996,O00, and stipulated
time of delivery from 80 to 80 months.
Construction will be FASTENED to the
limit, however, the government foot
ing the bill for additional cost.
The battle cruisers, the fixed limit
of cost of which is $19,000,000 per
ship, exclusive of speeding up ex-
pense, were ordered.
OF the authorized building program
there remain to be contracted for three
dreadnaughts, 80 submarines, the Is
destroyers, and several auxiliary YES
sells. Bids will be opened early in
April on these craft, and at the same
time orders will be placed for more
than 100 coast-patrol boats.

MAY ADJUST LABOR
AND PAY FOR WOMEN
STATE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
is INVESTIGATING EMPLOY
MENT CONDITIONS.
EIGHT. HOUR LAW Is FAVORED
Minimum Wage Question VIII Be
Taken up-Hearings to Be Held
In Different Cities OF
Wisconsin.

Madison-The Wisconsin industrial
commission has big program of OPP
erations scheduled in investigating
the eight-hour labor for women.
Members of the commission have been
holding hearings in Milwaukee re-
Gently and these investigations will be
conducted in different cities of the
state.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to secure such data as will enable it
to take action on the eight-hour prop
osition and in order to secure this, In
dustries and employments for women
generally will be investigated.
Peculiarly, in connection will the
work the commission is now doing in
the way of investigation, Commission
er Beck seems to indicate that the
commission in Wisconsin has already
arrived at conclusions favorable to the
eight-hour work law for women. AS
stated in interviews credited to Com
missioner Beck purporting to be his
conclusions he quite specifically in
dicated that the Wisconsin commits
sion favored the eight-hour require
ment.
This interview was commented up
on here, because. if the commission
had arrived at conclusions the neces-
sity of holding further Investigations
and devoting time to the proposition
seemed not only futile for the COM
mission but to those appearing before
it.
Coupled with the eight-hour PROPOSE
ton is the minimum wage for women
question. AS soon as the commission
reaches conclusions upon the first, it
Is probable that investigations will be
made of the wage question. The COM
mission has full power to act In in
itiating the eight-hour law.

MYSTERY EPIDEMIC
IS BLAMED ON MILK
GALESVILlE MALADY DIAGNOSED
AS SEPTIC SORE THROAT BY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
SIX DIE; 200 ARE VICTIMS
Ninety-flve Per Cent Of infected Per
sons Obtained Their Milk Sup
ply from Same Herd--Cows
Are Examined.

Madison--Septic sore throat is the
laboratory diagnosis of the sudden cpl
demic, which already has claimed 200
victims in Galesville and taken a toll
of six lives. Ninety-tive per cent of
the infected persons obtained their
milk supply from the same herd of
twenty-six cows on a dairy farm near
there. The milk from each cow was
examined individually at the La
Crosse city health laboratory, The
milk of five cows showed streptococ-
Gus infection, one was suspicious, and
twenty were free of the organism.
The six cows under surveillance were
segregated from the rest and their
milk supply cut off.
This summarizes the situation as re-
ported to the state board of health by
it's deputy, Dr. G.. w. Henika, Madison,
who with DR.. |. F. Thompson, deputy
state health officer for the western
district, and DR.. J. M. Furstman, La
Crosse, member of the state board.
took charge after the epidemic broke
out.
Several OF the 200 persons now suf-
fering from the malady are danger
ously i'll, but with the shutting off of
the infected milk supply the further
spread of the disease will probably be
prevented. The situation is regarded
now as well under control
Similar epidemics have occurred In
Baltimore. Concord, N. H.. Chicago
and elsewhere.

ACT ON lNTER-lNS URANCE
Measure Drafted BY Commissioner
Cleary Follows investigation
Conducted Last Year.

Madison-The big department bill
for the regulation of the inter-insur-
ance companies was sent to engross-
ment in the house. This measure re-
quires inter-insurance to carry as large
a reserve as it requires of other in
surance companies.
Inter-insurance companies doing
workmens compensation business
must have on hand minimum re-
serve of 100000. If the company is
doing other classes of business it must
have $4,000 reserve.
The bill was drafted by Insurance
Commissioner M. J. Cleary and is
wholly the outgrowth of an investiga-
ton conducted before the department
last year.
Assemblyman e. A. Everett, Eagle
River, moved a reconsideration of the
vote by which the assembly sent to
engrossment the Hart bill, prohibit
ing the use of trading stamps in Wis
consin.
The assembly refused to reconsider
the vote by which it killed the Pieper
bill. 1t designed to engross the Ion
resident hunting license fee from $40
to $25.

portation of children living at long
distances from the consolidated school,
was sent to engrossment On motion
of ssemblyman Carl Hansen the as

would create a board Of examiners to

balming.
