Washington, D. C.-With the subsid- ence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of healdh officers is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this win ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health instructions.
 "The present epidemic" said Sur geon General Blue, "has taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic is over. there will continue to be large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized. which will be danger spots to be guarded against" The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a great fire, saying, "No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On the contrary, he con- tinues the water for hours and even days. for he knows that there is dan ger of the fire rekindling from smol- dering embers"
 'Then you fear another outbreak of lnfuenza?" he was asked. Not neces- sarily another large epidemic" said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo- mia and other respiratory diseases.
 Common Colds Highly Catching.
 Tt is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dinary coughs and colds are highly and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed into the air when careless or ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It is also good to know that people have learned something about the value of fresh air. In summer. when people are largely out of doors, the respira- tory diseases (coughs. colds. pneumo- nia, etc) are infrequent; in the fall, IS people begin to remain indoors, the diseases increase; in the winter, when people are prone to stay in badly ventilated, overheated rooms, he respiratory diseases become very prevalent.

DrOpIet infection Explained in Pictures

'1he Bureau of Public Health, Treasury Department. has just issued a striking poster drawn by Bergman. the well-knOwn Washington cartoOnist. The poster exemplines the modern method of health education. A few years ago, under similar circumstances, the health authorities would have is sued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet infection in the spread of re- spiratory diseases. The only ones who would have understood the bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subject. The man in the street, the plain citizen and the many millions who toll for their living would have had no time and no desire to wade through the technical phrase ology."

few days only two horses. l am get
ting to be quite an early bird and
get up and take care of my horses at
5 o'clock | do not have to get up so
early, but wake up and roll right out
We have a few pleasures and are get

dries up quickly. | saw Lieutenant

talk to him. A pleasant lady with a
cute little girl of lives here in the
same house with us, and we surely
have lots of fun with the little girl, al
though she or us do not understand
each other very much. We all hope
to speak quite a little French before

TRAIN CRUSHES
STRANGER FEET
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

On Tuesday evening a stranger by
the name of Charles Beers undertook
to get aboard moving freight train
between the station and the crossing
one block west. No doubt he had
travelled much on freight trains and
had never met with such an accident
before. This was the fatal time, how
ever, for he missed his footing and
the wheels crushed the toes of both
feet. He staggered back, sat down on
the platform and asked bystander if
there was a doctor near. He was taken
to the Baraboo hospital, where the
toes were amputated. He will be
cripple for life, all as a result of get
ting onto a moving train. He says he
has no relatives. He is aged about
65 years.

LOCAL SOCIETY
HOLDS MEETING

The spring flower. show of the Sauk
County Horticultural society was held
last evening at the K. G. hall. The
display of wild and cultivated flowers
far exceeded any previous attempt in
this vicinity, not excepting exhibits at
the Sauk county fair. While the at
tendance was light, the enthusiasm
was great. Addresses were given by
VIM. Toole, Sr., Dr. F r. Winslow, w.
A. Toole, Mrs. L. H. Palmer and by
G.. A. Hoffman. The subject Of the
latter was Progress of War Gardens"
Many encouraging words were said for
amateurs who are following this line
of work He exhibited potatoes grown
by one OF the amateur gardeners, and
these potatoes were dug June Z. Can
anyone beat this record? 1t is hoped
to hold fall flower festival during
the time when dahlias, gladoli and
other such flowers are at their best.
A meeting of the executive board was
planned for next Wednesday night for
the purpose of perfecting arrange
ments for entertaining the summer
meeting of the state society, August
21 and %. Because the exhibits were
all made by members of the society,"
no prizes were awarded as had been
planned.

AT SnLLtl CREEKS

On Friday night, June Z, members
and friends of the Skillet Creek Farm
ers' club met at the home of Mrs. Fan
nv Hill to witness the dedication of
the service flag. The program opened
with community singing. The young
peoples chorus pleased the audience
with number of patriotic songs. A
solo by Dee Washburn was greatly en-
joyed Wilbur CahoOn unfurled the
service flag, showing the twelve stars,
and told of the merits of the different
young men who have gone from the
neighborhood, and what they are do
ing for our country. The twelve stars
represent the following:
Albert Marquardt, a sergeant in the
infantry, now in France; his brother,
Ernest Marquardt, mechanic in the
aviation corps; Bruce Apker and Bert
Bellows, in training at Camp Grant;
Henry Bittrich, who joined the navy
and has made several trips across the
Atlantic; Crist Gasser, with the heavy
artillery at Fort Stevens, Greg; Rob-
ert Hirschinger and Victor Schaefer,
with the signal corps and expecting to
sail soon; Virgil Minnich with the
navy and now in Seattle for training;
Edward Marquardt, now in action in
France; George Martiny, who joined
the aviation corps and makes four or
five trips into the air each day in
specting motors. Other young men
from the neighbOrhood are working
for the government. May God save
our boys and bring them back to their
dear ones flying the flag of victory.
During visiting intermission all
were interested in the display of relief
and Red Cross work done by the wom-
en- of the Skillet Creek division. Also
a Fourth of July picnic, to be held at
Pewitt's nest, was discussed. After
visiting fntermission G. w. Davies
gave a splendid patriotic address. He
interested the people in the war
emergency fund for which he is work
ing, and clearly explained how we
must all help to win the war, and not
be like the custard pie, "yellow all
through and not crust enough to go
over the top" After several selec-
tions by the young peoples chorus the
club adjourned to meet at the picnic
grounds July 4.

For some time an effort has been
made to find the source of the place
name Baraboo. All along it has been
thought the name was of French
origin, and to Jean Baribeau, some
times spelled Barabeau, is usually Civ
en- the credit of having provided the
name for the river, his fur trading
station being near the mouth of the
stream. Miss Louise Phelps Kellogg,
Madison, in looking over some papers
belonging to the Indiana Historical So
ciety, relative to the early fur trade
and the French settlers of that region,
found two or three containing the
name Baribo. The papers were among
those of John Tiptony Indian agent at
Fort Wayne, and later United States
senator from Indiana. The extracts
taken by Miss Kellogg from the fur
trade papers read as follows:

LANDMARK At
REEDSBURG GONE

A large tree just east of Harper's
photograph gallery in Reedsburg has
been cut down. 1t was SO large that it
took several days to complete the job
of saving and cutting it down. The
base of the tree measured four feet in
diameter, so it must have stood there
for many long years; it is thought
perhaps almost a century. Mr. Har-
per thought best to have it removed
on account Of it's size and for fear
some storm might blow it over, either
on top of his house or the gallery. It
was a beautiful tree and will be much
missed by all those passing along that

we live in dugouts beneath the ground
which protect us from shell fire. Some

but some are very nice.
1t doesn't look now as if I will be
able to celebrate the Fourth of July
