There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other

The real danger comes from the

Boys "Over There"
Are All Happy
(Soldier's Lottery
Aug. a, 1918.

My Dear Mother:
The trip was very pleasant one
and though an awfully long ride, l
did not get very tired, because, as
you know, | have always loved add
venture, and there were so many
little experiences and sights which
have so often both dreamed and
heard of, that my interest was too
great to allow fatigue a very good
chance and in spite of the chance,
/ really enjoyed every moment.
We are very comfortably located,
and since there is quite a bunch Of
us Americans together, home does
not seem so far away after all, for
we have the Stars and Stripes with.
us and we always feel at home with
the "grand old flag" and since we
see, know and have a broader view
of what other countries are doing,
their customs, habits, etc, we are
positive that we are helping and
striving for one of the most noble
causes the world has ever known.
Mother, when l see the system by
which every little movement is exc
cuted and the wonderful devices we
have to help win in the short time
that we've had to get ready, and
many other affairs | shan't mention.
| am sure our president is the great
est man on earth.
Now, mother, / am sure you will
not worry for one moment about me,
for am perfectly comfortable and
happy, and one other big reason for
it is we have some of the best Off
GERS in the U, S. army, plenty to eat
and to wear, and just enough fun to
make everything easily digestible.
| am more proud than ever before
that | have perfectly clean record,
have not missed formation since
I've been in the service, and if | am
ever absent without leave for day,
I'll be found in a front line trench,
for we are going to win, and should
like to get so far to the front that it
will be plain, and long remembered
that | was one great factor in the
reason why. -
My one great consolation is that
we are contending for righteousness
in the sight of Cod and right will
follow right were wisdom in the
scorn OF consequence.
Though I once thought, as many
of our people, possibly, think now,
that it is all one great big sacrifice,
but / only wish every one could see
things as see them now; if so, they
would all try to place themselves in
position to be in some way conducive
to bringing this affair to it's close, for
since God is just, Germany, the me-
tropolis of guilt and guile, cannot
and will not stand; so | am expecting
to have my Christmas dinner with
you and father, and conscientiously
believe / shall not be disappointed.
| could say so much more, but time
will not permit, and, too, / must re-
serve some for Christmas time.
My regards to any friends inter
ested. Kiss little sister for me and
write when you can, and remember
that a mall right and doing right,
and as papa" says, zone truth is
clear, whatever is, is right" so you
can't worry.
Earnestly, YOUR son.

SANATORIUM FOR IOWA COUNTY

During the past ten years, 167 per-
sons died in Iowa county from tubercu
losis. On the most conservative estimate
of five living cases for each death dur
ing the past year there are so living
consumptives in the county at the
present time.
Sooner or later sanatorium will be
established in Iowa county or in coop
GRAFTON with one Or more neighboring
counties and in view Of the above fig
ures it would seem that the sooner it is
done the better. Every years delay
means the death Of several people who
might be saved, and worse even than
that, it means the infection of new
victims who will entrench the disease
more and more solidly in the county.
It is time to strike now and to strike
hard for the sake of this and succeeding
generations.
A year ago attention of Americans
was directed to the terrible ravages of
L
war conditions. Today l. is being
arrested by the condition among our
own soldiers. Already 374 Wisconsin
men have been returned from the can
tonments as actually consumptive and
unfit for military service. This list is
not complete, as yet, by any means and
does not include any of the names of
the hundreds of young Wisconsin men
who were excluded from the army by
the draft examinations. These were
men apparently so we'll that they
passed all ordinary tests.
All Of Wisconsin's tuberculosis sana-
forums are filled and there is long
list of applicants who are not able to be
accommodated. Those now building
will be filled as rapidly as they are
completed and furnished. This over
crowded condition is unfortunate be-
cause every month Of delay in admis-
sion of patient greatly retards his
possibility of cure.
A study Of the location Of the County
Sanatoria disclosed th3 fact to the citi
zens Of the southwest section of the
state, that the only sanatorium in this
general vicinity is now being built at
Lacrosse. 1t is almost certain that it
will not be large enough to permit ac
ceptance Of any cases outside of La
Crosse county,
1t is high time for Iowa County to
begin curing some, at least, Of it's 167
consumptives and to prevent the fur
ther spread of the disease, which has
been more deadly than all the wars of
history, including the present one.

DISTRIBUTION OF SUGAR

Magnus Swenson, food administra-
tor for Wisconsin, has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin to consumers for can
ming.
It is of utmost Importance that con-
servation of sugar be enforced in this
state in order that the fruits and vege-
tables, which must be preserved, be
properly provided for. Conservation in
every way possible must be practiced
at this time so that sugar will not be
scarce when the great demand comes
during the summer and early fall.
Retailers must maintain the pre-
scribed limits for sales to consumers
residing in towns or ~cities to not over
five pounds, and for consumers residing
in rural communities to not over ten
pounds.
For Home Canning.
In order, however, that consumers
may obtain the necessary supply of
sugar to care for home canning, the
retailer may sell at one time to
consumer 25 pounds of sugar pro-
viding the consumer assures the re-
taller that same will be used for
preserving and canning purposes

RETAIL SELLING AND.
STORE MANAGEMENT

Mineral Point merchants and clerks
are to be givSh an opportunity to learn
more about Retail Selling and Store
Management.
The University of Wisconsin is plan
ming to send an expert on craftsmanship
to this city in the interests of better
merchandising. The state feels that
the university should offer it's services
to the merchants in the interest of bet
ter merchandising the same as it does
to the farmers in the interest of better
farming.
Mr. Blackburn the sales expert and
practical business man will give ser
les Of six lectures here, one every Fri
day night, starting May II. The place
of meeting will be announced later.
This work is being carried on
throughout the state with great success
and we Of Mineral Point should be
congratulated on being offered this
chance to improve ourselves.
It is to be hoped that every merchant
and clerk will grasp this opportunity
and enroll for the class when ap-
preached by A. r. MacKinnon, who is
bringing this proposition before the
merchants.
A large class is expected.
"War time business methods require
increased efficiency in selling,' said
Mr. MacKinnon. "The high cost Of
material and stock and the necessary
small margin of profit, necessitato the
turning over of the stock more often
than ever before in order for the store
to make decent profit The ambitious
clerk in order to work for his own in
terest must improve his sales ability so
as to increase his employers profits and
in turn increases his own pay check.
This course is written and the lectures
given with the interest Of both employer
and employee in view"
We want to urge every merchant and
clerk to take advantage Of this chance.
1t is civic proposition and Mineral
Point should be on the job.
