SKIM MILK CHEESE
BILL Up AGAIN

Assembly H. j. Grell asserts that
he will again introduce a bill in the
legislature to provide for the manu-
tacture Of cheese from skim milk. A
like measure was defeated at the last
session of the legislature but Mr.. Grell
says it was not understood at the time.
He says the bill is in line with other
measures for the conservation of food
products and if it becomes a law the
product will be sold for what it really
is and not as full cream cheese.
He says that during the present
high milk and consequent cheese price
This product made from the SKINNED
milk would produce quite a revenue
for the farmer as well as giving the
rOrking man a cheap article of food
without in any way interfering with
the sale Of full cream cheese. Many
farmers in this section are in favor of
the measure as it means an added
revenue from their milk production.
In all likelihood the matter will be
threshed out at length when the bill
comes up in the assembly

SPEAKER IN FAVOR OF
COUNTY SANATORiUM

In an address before the Knights of
Columbus in their hall Thursday ev-
ening, DR. E. w. Bowen, pointed out
the good results from the establish
ment of county sanatorium. He also
advocated a public health nurse for
the city for work among the poor and
needy. He also advocated strongly
the establishment of the new hospital
which was productive of so much
good in a community.
Speaking for the establishment Of a
county tuberculosis sanatorium he
said in part:
Sickness is but an incident in the
life Of man, and while generally cur
able its ultimate solution is often a
social problem best cared for by the
social worker. We should not only
cure disease, but we must prevent it's
development or its return when cured
and the whole trend of modern medi-
cine is in that direction Prevention
of disease is largely a social problem
to be solved to a great extent by the
1Ocial worker, because it is often too
complicated problem to be solved by
the physician in general practice
whose time is often quite limited"

FAITHFUL SERVANT
OF THE PEOPLE

With the completion and occupancy
of the Watertown high school one
needs remember that its successful
completion was due in a large meas
ure to the men whom the city placed
in charge as inspector of the work
something more than year ago. A.
4. Baumann, who has held that re
sponsible position is a man well versed
in the construction line through years
of practice and study in the building
trades and that he fulfilled his obliga-
tions faithfully is well known. He
has watched the building grow and
had the small details of the work un-
der his eye as we'll as those of larger
moment 1t was no small task to
look after the faithful performance
of work in building costing 100000,
but his vigilance never once relaxed
and his aim was always to do justice
both to the contractors and the tax
payers of WatertoWn.
That his services are recognized
elsewhere it may be added that he is
under consideration in a Wisconsin
city for a like position on construc-
tion work to cost considerable more
than the Watertown high school

cusseS Plans.

At the last meeting of the Water

for the holding of the annual tourna-
ment and application has been made
to the Interstate association for a
registered shoot. An effort will be
made to have present at this shoot
Ad TopperWein, the world famed rife
shot and his wife, who now holds the
record for continuous shooting at 1000
clay targets. On Saturday, November
IL, 1916, Mrs. Top shattered 1852 out
Of a possible 1000 targets in 5 hours
and 20 minutes.
Mrs. Top missed only 212 targets
out Of every hundred, or that was the
average AS matter of fact, she
broke a century and more without a
miss four times. Twice she hit 99x100
1t is a fact worthy of mention that her
most consistent shooting was done
about the middle Of and near the end
of the gruelling test.
We must consider the straight runs
to realize what remarkable shooting
was being done by this wonderful
woman. Once she hit $50 targets be-

FIRE DESTROYS CAR.
Fire Department Called to junction
Sunday Morning.

A burning refrigerator car on the
"Y" at the junction called out the fire
department Sunday morning at l
o'clock The car was badly damaged
An overheated stove in the car was
the cause 1t is thought the fire was
started by tramps who went to sleep
and escaped when awakened by the
blaze A still alarm was sent in from
the junction four hours later when
rubbish about the car caught afire.
1t is claimed that the water facili-
ties in that vicinity are not of the best
owing to a confusion of tracks which
must be crossed by the hose in some
cases. A line Of hose was cut in two
by locomotive while the firemen
were at work on the car the second
time
Another alarm of fire was sent in
Monday morning at 2:30 o'clock A
red signal light placed on the North
Western Railway tracks near Milford
street crossing was the cause. 1t was
mistaken by neighbor for residence
afire.

OSHKOSH SALOONS
CLOSED ON SUNDAY

A surprise was sprung upon Osh-
kOsh saloon keepers and their thirsty
patrons Sunday afternoon when orders
were received from the office of Dis
trict Attorney David K Allen that all
saloons must close on Sundays. The
order was transmitted through the dis
trict attorney from Attorney General
Walter G. Owen at Madison, who for
warded the instructions by special de-
livery letter that arrived at 1920
O'Clock in the morning
President Thomas Ryan of the Osh-
kosh Liquor Dealers association i'm
mediately called at the district attor-
ney's office, where, with John F. Klu-
win and John G. Thompson, attorneys
for the liquor men, a conference was
held. 1t was decided to advise the
saloon men to close down, and Ryan
flashed telephone messages to the
citys sOlOon keepers, informing them
Of the order
AS has been customary for the last
several weeks, the saloons had re-
NAMED closed during Sunday morn
ings until after morning church hours,
opening up at 1890. They had hardly
gotten their doors open Sunday when
the order was received and they were
forced to close again
Attorney General Owen, speaking
over the telephone from Madison, de-
clared that the issuance of the orer
was prompted by request from IAN
attorney named Mcdonald" who want
ed him to close all saloons of Oshkosh
as "nuisances." He refused to grant
the request, but advised the district
attorney at Oshkosh to issue closing
order under the Sunday closing law.
Whether Mcdonald" was acting for
the Anti-saloon league he said he did
not know.
An attorney for the local saloon men
who does not wish his name used, de-
clared that for several weeks it had
been planned by the Oshkosh saloon
keepers to close their places all day
Sundays and that the forenoon closing
thus far was merely preliminary
step.
He was emphatic in saying, however,
that now that outside action has been
taken, Oshkosh does not propose to
serve as the goat" for any other city
if the action here will result in every
saloon in the state being closed all
day Sunday.

POPE SEEKS UNITY.
AMONG CHURCHES

Private letters from the vatican re-
celyed by Dr.. A. Palmieri of the libra
ry Of congress at Washington, recog-
nized writer on ecclesiastical subjects,
announce that Pope Benedict XIV. is
about to appoint a commission of four
cardinals to renew a movement began
by Pope Leo. XIII. and abandoned by
Pope Plus X, looking to a reunion OF
Christianity and the cultivation of
friendly relations with the Anglican
church. A public announcement on
the subject from Rome is expected
shortly
DR.. Palmieri said Thursday night
that the new movement as outlined in
ais advices will be directed particu-
larly toward the establishment of a
reunion of the Russian church and the
papacy and to a thorough re-exam-
ination into the validity of Anglican
or Episcopal ordinations which was
settled in the negative in a papal bull
"Apostolical Sedis," by Pope Leo X.

the vatican's efforts have been sug-
gested not only by a humanitarian
spirit but by longing for Christian

carrying out the reunion of Christian
lty were abruptly stopped by Plus X,
who aimed at an inner reform of the
Catholic clergy and turned all his
energies TO the crushing of modern

Benedict XIV. thinks it is time to

that a establishment of a political
peace would be the first step toward
renewed Attempts to stop the splitting
of Christianity into a great number Of

Plans for the remodelling of a por-
ton OF the city hall for the purpose of
aniarging the quarters Of the present
jail were tentatively agreed upon at
a meeting of the building committee
of the city council and William II.
Graebner Of Milwaukee, member of
the state board of control held on
Friday.
A sketch of the proposed changes
shows that the new Jail will occupy
three times the present floor space
and will include the present Jail and
the. entire rear of the main floor of
the building now occupied by the
stables and feed room Work on the
changes will begin as soon as possible,
the payment for which being included

take the place of the present appara-
tus. Two teams will remain in the
west side engine house, one for the
hauling of the hose wagon and the
other to be used in cases when an
additional engine is needed The hook

but will be used only in emergency
cases, as the new track is equipped
with ladders and hooks.
The building committee consists of
Aldermen Charles w. Harte, Charles
Lutovsky and George Schmechel.
Work will begin as soon as the con-
tract can be let
