Sanitarium To Be Named "Pureair"

At session of the Tri County
Sanitorium Committee, held Thu
rsday in Ashland, steps were taken
for the final taking over of the
Liehy property near here for the
three counties. A resolution was
passed authorizing the issue of an
order to Mr.. Liehy in payment OF
the property.
The plans prepared by the arChi-
tects were inspected by the commit
tee and were adopted, with a few
minor changes. The plans provide
for the erection of splendid, com
modious hospital building with
patient capacity of about IS, besi
des necessary nurse and administ-
ration, storage, dining and kitchen
room. The structure is to be pract-
ically three stories high, construct
ed of fireproof material throughout,
brick being used with stone facings
and tile roofing. A modern heating
plant operated from separate eng
inc house is TO be installed, and the
plans also provide for the erection
of four adjacent buildings for pat
tents, or "shacks" as they are call
ed, each with a capacity of about IS
patients, which costs approximately
from five to seven thousand dollars
each. 1t is anticipated that only one
of these will be erected shortly after
the main buildings are up, so that
the average institution should open
its doors with an initial capacity Of
about so patients.
The committee took under con
sideration large number of names
which had been submitted, and sell
ected "Pureair' as the most appro-
pirate and that will be the official
name of the institution, and will SO
be designated by the Omaha railway
company on its railway maps

UNITED WAR WORK FUND
CAMPAIGN is NEXT.
Quotas for Every County in the State
We're Fixed at Madison Meeting.
Iron COunty's Is $500.

Specific quotas for all counties in
Wisconsin in the United War
Work Campaign were officially an
nounced at Madison Thursday from
the state headquarters by Chairman
Emerson Ella. The campaign will
be waged Nov. Ills. The nation
al goal is $40, 500, 900, of which
Wisconsin's share is IS, 800, 900.
Seven great war welfare agencies
have consolidated in the drive for
funds at the. request of President
Wilson. These are the Army Y.
NJ. c. A, the Y. w. G. A, Ma
tional Catholic War Council, in
cluding the K. of c., Jewish Wei
fare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Associa-
tlon and the Salvation Army.
With formal approval of the con-
ISOLATION having been given by the
President and the war department,
expectations are that Wisconsin S
campaign will be put thru to
whirlwind completion in single
day.
Do 1t In a Day" is the slogan
adopted by Wisconsin. All sec
tions of the state are girding them
selves for the big drive next month
and every indication points to the
minimum quota of 50, 100000 be-
ing subscribed.
President Wilson summed up the
whole appeal in a recent letter in
which he spoke of the work of
these seven great agencies as of
vital military Importance. " He
had in mind the fact their activities
are largely responsible for the main
tenanCe of the splendid morale of
our forces. There has never been
in history so spectacular an exam
pie of the supreme importance. of
morale as is now being presented
on the western front.
The forces that confront each
other there are not widely dissimi-
lar in numbers of equipment. Yet
one army is constantly withdraw
ing and the other irresistibly NOV
ing forward. The difference is
spelled in that single word morale.
The quotas designated for Wis
consin counties are computed on a
basis of property, income tax and
population. They are regarded as
the most scientific and exact of
any quotas ever fixed for any camp
aign Thefgures were unanimous
ly approved at the state convention
of the United War Work Campaign
in Milwaukee recently.
Iron county's quota has been fix
ed at ST, 500, but there will be no
drive" i'll this county as the
county S quota will be paid out of
the National Defense League treas
ury, an organization perfected in
this county several months ago, the
members thereof paying monthly
dues.

D,aftees In Non Essential Industries
Will Have to Get Into Work
Considered Essential.

4 That registrants, which means
sll male persons between the ages
Hof s and As. who are engaged in
non essential industries, must get
8into work essential to the winning
4 the war, was the decision OF the
state labor advisory board at a meet
inq held at Milwaukee Wednesday
afternoon.
A census of essential and non
essential employees will be furnished
local boards by the labor boards,
thus giving local boards jurlsdiCt-
ion, and they will be compelled to
get into essential work or join the
military forces.
"In addition to the foregoing
action" declared Fred French,
secretary of the state labor board
"the board will petition the govern
ment to place skilled industry in
the same class as unskilled indus
try. We will ask that relocating
of the skilled workers be left to the
state and community boards as has
been done with unskilled labor"
If this action meets with the ap-
proval of the government it will
place all labor distribution in the
