76 FEEBLE MINDED u
GO UNDER KNIFE

Seventy-six inmates of state homes
for feebleminded were operated on
under the state sterilization law in
the six months ending Aug. %, 1919,
according to official figures revealed
recently. Eighty per cent of those op-
Grated on were women.
Statistics show that after success
ful operations 20 per cent of the pa
tlents have been paroled by the state
board of control to relatives and
friends.
Surgical operations upon persons in
state institutions to prevent continued
propagation of feeble minded in the
state is made possible by the sterili-
cation law passed some years ago.
Operations have been performed for
some years, although statistics have
not been made public. Operations are
conducted only in the summer when
adequate hospital facilities are as
sured.
The policy followed in this state is
to operate only on the feeble minded
of the two highest grades. In such
cases parole generally follows the
operation. The legal requirements in
operations of this type are lengthy,
all relatives being served with per-
sonal notices of the pending opera
ton.
Reform authorities in the state
have long been agitating free use of
the knife among the 10000 in public
institutions.

widow of Col. Felipe Angeles, Mexican
revolutionist, who was executed Nov.
&c, died at her home here.
Although her physician diagnosed
her ailment as nervous disorder, her
son, Albert, %, said he believed his
mother died of grief, because for
seven months no word had been re-
ceived from father"
Young Mr.. Angeles said that, al
though his mother never had been
told OF his fathers death, he felt that
she must have had premonition that
he was killed.

CONSERVE COAL.

Wisconsin residents are especially
fortunate at this time as regards coal.
We are fairly well supplied as COM
pared to some less fortunate locali-

towns without fuel; communities are
banding together in school houses

Strict conservation, strict observ-

But let us be careful in the use of

upon the sources of supply which are
not absolutely necessary. The longer

is THIS A DELIBERATE


In a recent bulletin published
by the State Board of Health ii
was admitted that these Social
ed sanitary closets produced mos
qu1tos, but the writer tried to
dodge the responsibility adding
that they were the harmless va
riety. The combined testimony
of hundreds Of honorable and in
telligent people who KNOW where
of they speak consider the follow
ing statement little short of a
deliberate falsehood.
II can absolutely state that the
sanitary closet is not responsible
for the great number of mos
qultos in this city, and if a little
kerosene is poured into them oc-
casionally they will absolutely
breed no MOSQUITOES Health OF
fiCer.
The thing to do to get rid OF
mosquitoes in Salisbury is to de
mand that the town and county
authorities fill up these so,called
sanitary closets al their own per-
sonal expense, and discontinue
this health officer FARCE. There
are some who are in favor OF
demanding that the aldermen
county commissioners and mem
bers of the legislature who are
responsible for this so-Called
health law be forced to re i'm.
burse, out Of their private purse,
the expenses incurred in the
erection of these closets and
hired meddlers. It was done
without the consent or request of
the people and it is high time
that some steps were taken tc
see that officials who ride on
high horses be made personally
and financially responsible TO,
their stewardship. Of course
they will laugh at such an idea
but it will not ever be thus.

The idea of a parent-teacher's
association in some respects is a
good thing, that is if ali the pa
rents get into the association
and direct the conduct of the
schools as they should, but if
they are to be mere puppets for
the manipulation of the teachers
which seems to be the case, it
will likely be more harmful than
helpful. The public schools are
the most automatically conduct
ed institution in the State and
the teachers have already gone
far in the usurpation of parental
authority, and now it looks as
though they not only want to
manage the child, but the parent
also. Later, we suppose they
will want to tax charge of the
home. Let the parents do the
bossing or stay out of this
game.
