After breakfast they took me out on

Zurich was packed with people, and l

Reservoirs Built Of cobbiestones.
Many small reservoirs have been
built In southern California to store
water pumped from wells over night
for use in irrigation the following day.
In the Pomona valley. which includes
an area Of valley land comprising
something like 81 square miles, OF
which about One-third Is irrigated,
there were in 1912 over so OF these
reservoirs owned and operated by indi-
vidual orchardists or by small groups
OF orchardists comparatively. In the
preparation OF mach of the land for
citrus orchards on the benches OF
this valley large quantities OF cobble-
stones are removed and dumped into

The next morning a sentry came to

drilled me back to barracks again.

We were dying every day In Bran

senior men OF that barracks would de-

COAL STRIKE IS A MENACE

The country is badly hung up and
every interest of whatever nature dis
turbed by the coal miners strike that
was inaugurated November first, by
the members composing the unions of
that occupation. There are now re-
ported out 100000 men, covering near
ly every section fthe United States
where mining is done.
The government has taken a hand
in the hope that bloodshed and suf-
fering may be averted. The Presi-
dent had held that the strike is Illegal
and not in accordance with agreement
entered into during the war, and in
functions are pending which seek to
prevent striking. The men have left
their occupation, however, and the
country, at the very opening of win
ter, is in danger of great suffering.
BY government order railroads are
permitted to confiscate all cars in
transit carrying coal. This is in eff
fort TO keep the commerce of the
country moving.

WILL GUARD AGAINST FLU
A QUARANTINE FOR ALL SUCH
CASES
Our State Health Department Issues
Regulations Applying to All In
fiuenza Cases and Others


That the state board of health is
determined TO do. all in its power to
prevent if possible, a recurrence Of
influenza epidenlics in Wisconsin by
trying to keep down the number of
cases to the minimum is evidenced by
the fact that the board has made a
ruling that influenza has been placed
in the class of dangerous commune
cable diseases and will hereafter be
considered and quarantined as such.
Heretofore influenza cases have
been subject only to the restrictions
imposed in placarded cases and other
persons living in places where cases
existed have been permitted to come
and go as in the cases of other dis
eases subject only to placard restric-
tons, such as measles and whooping
cough.
Influenza will hereafter be subject
to strict quarantine regulations, it is
stated upon the authority of the state
board of health and all local cases of
the flu will be quarantined.
Il would like to impress upon the
people the necessity of not getting
frightened over the appearance of in
tiuenZa,' said state physician. "The
fear germ is fully as bad as the dis
ease germ and where fear of the dis
ease exists Influenza is much. more
likely to be contracted People should
use good judgment and take precau-
tionary measurer to avoid contract
ing colds and to take care of them if
they are taken. With the adoption of
the quarantine measure as a means of
preventing spread of the disease,
am hopeful influenza will not gain q
foothold and that it can be held in
much better control than it was under
the former system Of handling"
