which will make a fiat appropriation
of $125,009 to conduct the fair, and
provide that all receipts be turned di-
rectly into the general fund OF the
state
Heretofore the State fair has oper

accounted for its receipts and expend-
itures, but they were administered by
the board, and the effort was made
each year to sustain it on its own rev

alton to cover the premiums, as is
done for county fairs This appropri-
alton will disappear this year, and
everything will be covered in lump
sum. The new policy will act as linn

Without other available funds the Off

within the $685. 900 dead line This
amount is said to be slightly less than

provides aid for state highways, and
the power of entering into contracts
with the proper national authorities

the contribution of the national gov

thing over $5,000,000 in five years.

BILL ASKS FOR SANATORIUM
Institution for Upper Part
of the State.

Madison Provision for the building
of state tuberculosis sanatorium in
northern Wisconsin is made in a bill
which Senator Baxter OF Superior is
preparing to introduce in the senate.
Senator eBaxters bill provides for
the location of the institution north of
the cFn.er line of the state, and that
il shall be known as the Northern
State tuberculosis sanatorium 1t is
proposed that the hospital be equip
ped for the treatment OF pulmonary
tuberculosis, especially for cases in
the incipient and moderately ad
vanced stages. The selection of site
and erection of the building is let to
the state board Cf control An appro-
priation Of $4,000 is asked
This is something northern Wis
consin needs pretty badly" said Sena-
tor Baxter AT present If a person in
the northern part of the state. afflicted
with tuberculosis, wants to go TO a san
atorium, he must 80 all the way to
Wales, near Milwaukee. This is the
only state tuberculosis sanatorium,
outside Of the one at Tomohawk lake.
which is more or less an institution
for eonvalescents.
The need of this sanatorium is
shown in the fact that many tubercu
lar patients are unable TO get treat
ment al present. The state has wait
ing list of more than one hundred, and
this doesn't take into account those
who haven't applied, because they
know they can't get in"
