give instructions to local skiers in the
art of jumping.
Tentative plans have been made by
the club here to make the slide longer
so that a longer jump can be made.
The professionals will give the boys
pointers on the construction and mat
ters of general interest.
Those interested will have an OppOr-
tunity to witness some real jumping
Sunday. The interurban cars stop
near the slide and those attending
will have an opportunity to leave any
time they wish There will be no adj
mission charged but collection will
be taken up to help defray expenses.
Those professional and amateurs en-
tering the tournament here will also
ski at Beloit Monday. Watch for a
record making event here and be sure
to be present.

WARNS AGAINST SMALLPOX
EPIDEMIC IN SOME CITIES

DR.. G. J. Habhegger, city health Of
ficer, has issued a warning to all fam
lily heads and has caused to be posted
warnings to teachers in the various
schools to be on the lookout for
smallpox, as epidemics are raging in
cities throughout the state. The doc
tor advises vaccination as the only
remedy and preventive measure not
only of the children in the home but
all the household The doctor cited
the case of GAINESVILLE, where he said
a good sized epidemic is raging at
present, necessitating the closing of
schools, factories, places of amuse-
ments, etc. Other Wisconsin cities are
also experiencing epidemics of greater
or less proportions, the doctor de-
clared. sJ3
'The money loss, in addition to the
danger to life and the great inconven-
fences incident to an epidemic is al
most inestimable," declared the health
officer. in speaking of the necessity of
closing business places in case of an
epidemic
is backache, the doctor said. Then
comes nausea, generally with vomit-
ing, followed by the appearance of
shOt-like pimples on the forehead and
wrists about the third day.
Sometimes these preliminary SYM
| toms are so mild as to go almost un-
noticed the doctor pointed out, and
these cases are really the most dan
gerous, to the community at least, for
they spread the disease with great
| rapidity. In the Wisconsin city men
toned, there were some cases where
children remained in school days be-
| fore the symptoms we're properly
| diagnosed.
No cases have been reported as yet
in Watertown, but the danger is ever
present, and the only method of pre-
vention is general vaccination, a sure
check to any possibility of an cpl
demic,. DR.. Habhegger declared.

At the Theatres

The tenderness and sacrifices of
mother-love are brought to the screen
by Ruby La Fayette in an artistic por-
trayal she presents in Mother O.
Nine" the Bluebird photoplay to be
offered at the Classic Thursday and
Friday, with Rupert Julian and Ruth
Clifford playing the stellar roles. Miss
La Fayette is an actress of the old
school, who, in her seventy-second
year, is now receiving her initiation
into moving pictures. In the story she
represents a mother who is sOrely ne
elected by her son. He has gone to
the city to make his fortune and
when he does not visit her, heart
hunger impels his mother to go to
him. When she arrives he is in the
whirl of society and wantonly denies
that she is his mother, explaining
that she's his old nurse" He lives to
regret his despicable actions and re-
marks, and atones, as best he can, by
devoting his years to his mothers
comfort and happiness.
