There IS more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment

The capture of Donald Harris for
breaking into and robbing the Economy
store Wednesday night OF last week,
and his quick conviction and sentence
to a wear in the state reformatory at
Green Bay, almost establishes record

berv was committed some time Wed
nesday evening and by 10 o'clock of the
next day he was under arrest and on
the next day sentenced. The robber
claimed to be but 20 years of age, and
as he carried no registration card, it
was presumed that he was that age,
though he looked older.

FORT ATKINSON

We have it from good authority that
the 127th and 128th infantrleS made the
VOYAGE across the Atlantic on the Lee
viathan, formerly known as the Water
land, the largest transport in the world.
Close to 1000 soldiers were on the boat
and it would have been sad misfor-
tune if the submarines had succeeded
in torpedoing her.
A great lake now spreads over much
of the southern portion OF this county
and were it not for Deer Creek marsh
to the northeast, Bark river and Soup
pernong marshes to the east, and the
Koshkonong marshes to the west our
city would be inundated with water 80
feet deep. Every inch of rise now
means the addition of billions of bar
rels of water to accomplish it. The
water is now higher than at any time
since 1881. North Main street was
lower then and boats crossed it several
times during the height of the flood.
Farmers on the left bank of the river
between Bark and Damuth bridges
have had to transport their cattle to
high ground. The water has been ris-
ing about four inches per day and is
still climbing.
Charles E. Miller, resident of Fort
Atkinson for the past three years, died
suddenly at his office in the Northwest
ern Mfg. Co. plant last Thursday,
March 14th. His lifeless form was
found by Mrs. Chas. Rollins, North
western employee. In his right hand
was a pencil, an indication that his
death came without warning some time
between II o'clock noon and 100 p. m
when he was found Fellow employees
talked to him in the morning and at
noon saw him busy with his work. His
death came as an overwhelming shock
to his family and friends. Mr.. Miller's
general health had been good, although
he never fully recovered from the eff
fects of injuries received in a street
car accident in Kansas City, Mo-, five
years ago. At times he suffered in
tense pains in his head.

Happiness.

] used to think it was great to disre-
gard happiness. to press to a high goal,
careless, disdainful of it. But now l
see there is nothing SO great as to be
capable of happiness-to pluck it out
of each moment, and, whatever hap
pens, to find that one can ride as gay
and buoyant on the angry, menacing,
tumultuous waves of life as on those
that glide and glimmer under a clear
sky; that it is not defeat and wretch
edness which comes out of the storm
of adversely, but strength and calm
ness.-Anne Gilehrist.

ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
Birth of Children Guaranteed indie
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code of Hammurabi.

In Babylon, under the code of Ham,
murabi, 2270 b. c., the birth Of chill
dren furnished the only financial Sc
curity for a wife A man might Sepa-
rate from wife at will and marry
another but if she had borne him chill
dren he must "give back to that Wom-
an her dowry, the usufruct of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity of her children and thereafter she
was entitled to a share equal to that
of son of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
of her choice
Under the primitive laws of the Ka-
frs of South Africa similar provision
is made, according to a writer. A con-
siderable payment is made by the hlls-
band to the male relatives of the wom-
an at the time of marriage. In legal
the woman and her children, the rela-
tives receiving it as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, man may divorce
his wife at will and may demand back
his dOwry if there have been no chill
dren born of the marriage, but his
claim upon it passes upon the birth OF
children. Obviously, where the status
Of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enfOrcible claim against
this property while it remains in the
hands Of her relatives, the birth of
children furnishes the only assurance
Of security and independence for the

A CURE FOR THE FLU

! To the Editor Of The Evening Journal
Sir: When so eminent a bacteriOloGisi
as Koch held out to the suffering world
hope Of mastering the dread "White
! Plague which proved fallacious both
| doctors and laymen may be excused for
being skeptical about alleged cures for
| other plaques till their truth has been
! fully demonstrated
This by way of preface 10 some won
derful good news concerning this dead
ly epidemic Of grip, or as II is also
| styled, the influenza, 'flu'-a preyen-
tive serum has been discovered and
proved reliable after thousands OF
tests
Some time ago a vaccine prepared
by Major A. Parker Kitchens, ply
sician formerly connected with the
| milford laboratories, had been par
| TALLY tested which would, IL was
claimed, immunize the patient against
"colds" and like diseases Of the throat
and nasal passages.
Recently DR.. c. Y. White, city bac-
teriolOgist OF Philadelphia, and Or.
John A. KOlmer Of the Polyclinic Hos
pita have perfected this Parker vac
cine, and made extensive though not
conclusive experiments Herewith. The
most they certainly claim for this vac
cine is that the patient, il he gets the
"flu" will only have a mild type with
out the serious pneumonia complica-
ti0ns.
But DR.. Timothy w. Bowes, medical
director OF the Philadelphia Electric
Company, and his corps OF assistants,
have virtually kept the entire force Of
that corporation free from the epi-
demic grip or influenza. Here is what
the Evening Ledger says about the
matter:
Three weeks ago, when the disease
first became threatening here the COM
pany's physicians began their inocula-
lions, the Philadelphia Electric thus be-
ing the pioneer in the work in this
city.
"Thirty-nve hundred employees Of the
company submitted TO inOculation and
OF these not one contracted influenza.
This immunizatlon was Of particular
value in the case of the plant at Water
side. Had work been held up there,
Government production would have
been handicapped.
Outside corporations asked the Phila-
dephia Electric Company for aid, which
was given, and DR.. Bowes and his as
sistants inoculated 10000 persons who
had no connection with the electric
concern. No charge was made for this
service.

President ki.sOn and
The Two GermdRys
From the New York SUM-

IL is plain, from a further study OF
the Presidents note, that he is speak
ing as maker of peace by negotiation
only to Germany Of the future. To the
Germany Of the present, the Germany
OF the War Lord Kaiser, the Germany
Of autocracy built on militarism. the
criminal assailant of the peace OF the
world and the blood stained murderer
OF millions Of men, women and children
during the four years past. he contin-
ues to speak only as the maker Of Just
war by force without stint.
To this German Government of the
present the President speaks no peace
maker words. His attitude is nfexible.
and II is clearly consistent with his
previous utterances. He meant what he
said on the Fourth Of July at Mount
Vernon when he notified the Kaiser's
Government that there could be no tax
of peace until after "the destruction Of
every arbitrary power anywhere that
can separately, secretly and OF its sin
gle choice disturb the peace OF the
world, or its reduction 10 virtual i'm
potency" He meant what he said ten
days ago when he repeated this demand
as condition precedent TO peace, with
the additional declaration that the evil
dence OF such a change in the German
fabric Of government must be definite
and the guarantees satisfactory. He
means what he said night before last
when he told this same still existing
Government that its professions OF re-
form were not to be trusted; that the
check Il proffered could not be accepted
unit, IL was certified by 'veritable rep
resentatiyes' Of the German people;
that for the military masters and mon
archical autOcrats Of the Germany
which exists there could be no terms
short of surrender.
In this attitude toward the Germany
Of today the President unquestionably
represents the Spirit and purpose Of
America and the Allies. There has been
no stronger expression, even from his
own lips or pen, of the fixed determina-
tion Of the forces of civilized democ-
racy not to quit the battlefield until the
Kaiser and his dynasty and the baleful
power Of evil TO the world they repre-
sent have been eliminated, by military
victory. from the political and diplo-
matio, situation. No intelligence that is
vocal on our own side OF the line be-
tween right and cruel, deadly wrong Is
