WISCONSIN ADOPTS THE
ONE POUND CANDY RULE

Wisconsin confectioners have now
agreed to adopt the one-pound rule for
sales of candy in accordance with the
requests of the u. S. Food Admins
tration for Wisconsin,
Owing to the present scarcity of
sugar." reads the resolution taken by
them, "the u S. Food Administration
has curtailed the allotment of sugar
for domestic use to three pounds a
person a month and that for confec-
TONERS to fifty per cent of the guam
tity used during a corresponding
period last year.
ITO cooperate with the Administra-
ton, Wisconsin confectioners urge the
public to limit it's purchases of can
dies and chocolates to one pound at
any one time and to cut it's aggregate
purchases to one-half It's usual con-
sumption This restriction does not
apply to men and women in the
service.
Packages on hand, filed and ready
for delivery which contain more than
one pound may be disposed.
Retailers, wholesaler and manu-
facturers of confectionery and choc-
olates throughout Wisconsin are re-
quested to bring about cooperation
with this movement throughout the
entire industry through advertising
and other notices to their trade"

WILL CRUSH COAL.
Big Size TO Be Crushed For Magazine
Stoves.

City Sealer Edward Gnatzig will at
tempt to alleviate the coal situation
for those who have magazine heaters
and who must have small sized hard
coal to burn. There are a few tons of
chestnut coal in the city but he states
that this coal will be sold only to
homes where flu cases develop and
where there is no suitable coal for
heating.
He states, however, that there is a
large amount of egg size coal in the
city and he will attempt to have that
crushed The coke crusher at the gas
works will be tried and if that will
not answer then the stone crusher
owned by the county, now housed
south of town, will be put into service
and the egg size coal crushed to a
smaller size. This it is believed can be
successfully done and will relieve the
coal situation here.

With an alarming increase of Span
ish influenza cases in Watertown, the
health department has ordered the ban
put on for the second time, going in
to effect today. Many new cases have
been reported the last few days, and
Health Commissioner DR.. G. ]. Hab-
hegger has been in close touch with
the state board of health with the re-
suit that DR.. Harper advised that
gatherings in public places be pro-
hibited until there is a decrease in
the epidemic.
The closing order includes churches,
schools, theatres, movies, pool and
billiard halls. The order will also
close saloons until a. NJ and after
10 p. m. Northwestern college will be
allowed to conduct studies SO long as
no cases develop in that institution.
The bowling alleys will also be closed.
The order curtailing the hours in
which saloons may be open also pro-
hibits the serving of free lunch in any

the serving of food that is ordered and

Deaths i'm Nation.
In its battle with the influenza cpl
demic this nation has lost 5000
lives. This is the number of deaths so
far reported to the United States Pub
lie Health Service. 1t is far from the
total since during the first two weeks
deaths from influenza were not re-
qlired to be reported.
One of the outgrowths of the nation
wide struggle with this disease as
shown by reports reaching Washing
ton is an increased demand for public
health nurses who proved their value
during these last months as a means
Of checking epidemics by the care of
the sick and the education of the pub
lie.
The national organization for public
health nursing and its war program
committee with headquarters in Wash
ingtCn are putting forth every effort
to help meet this demand for more
nurses which it is believed will in
crease as reconstruction progresses
The war program committee was
formed a, year ago to raise funds for
the increased activities of the organi-
cation occasioned by the war and re-
construction.
