Rulers With Business Instincts

At the outset of his imperial career
the grandfather of the former German
kaiser, Frederick William, owed his
accumulation of money to his CON-
mercial dealings. One of his CONNER
cial undertakings was to start milk
rounds, which md exceedingly well, In
spite of being carried on sub rosa, for
the German courtiers found that the
imperial favor was dependent upon
their patronizing the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
huge milk monopoly In various cities,
and reaped a CORRESPONDENCE large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had
keen commercial instincts, and had a
finger in most Of the big German un-
dertakings. In Germany it was cur
rently reported that Ballin was mere
ly the fgure-head of the North Ger
man Lloyd line of steamships, and
that the kaiser was the real man at
the helm, and the same thing was said
OF many oEAw aG>ay-mSS'ng con-
Germs.

CLAIM CURE FOR CHAMBERS

Gratitude Of Mankind.

The reviews Of medicine and vet

researches looking to the cure of CLAN

At the beginning Of the war the
spread of CHAMBERS, especially among
the quadrupeds of the Third Italian
army, suggested to Colonel Command
Ing DR.. E. Bertetti, director of the
veterinary service of the army, the
idea Of utilizing the victims Of CLAN

Obtaining permission Of the war
ministry and the supreme command
Of the army, the experiments were be-

DR.. Guido Ffnzi, head Of the Insti-

two years they announced that glan-

Quoting federal income tax school in
number of Wisconsin cities this
spring. The second lecture of a series
was given in the city hall last Tuesday
evening and was attended by about
forty representative business men and
students of Wausau. Some vital ques-
lions concerning the filling out of tax
blanks, the use of Liberty Bonds as
dividends, which does not eliminate
federal taxation, and invested capital,
were discussed by the professor, while
questions were shot at him by the lis
teners.

ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting Influenza Explains
How Curative Serum Went From
Patient to Patient.

The prevalence of influenza and
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes it imperative to resort to heroic
methods of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted ones only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy
for influenza, writes DR.. Charles r.
Humbert in the Medical Record, to-
gether with the inability to obtain
antipneumococcus serum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
: The Endless Chain.-It is a we'll
known fact that persons convalescing
from pneumonia have anti-bodies in
their blood streams. AS soon as the
patients condition permits, therefore,
they are bled as much and as frequent
ly as possible.
Serum is prepared and treated, and
is placed in stock. When another pa
tent comes in with pneumonia, treat
ment is begun, When convalescence
sets in the above procedure is repeat
ed. 1t is a case of one gives serum to
two, two gives serum to three and so
on, the procedure becoming endless.

LIBERIA is REACHING OUT
Tribes of That Country, 1t Is Said, Are
Accepting the Teachings of the
Missionaries.

Plenyono Che Wolo, Liberian Of
the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co
lumbia university, says:
There never has been a scientific
census of Liberia, but the population
Is estimated at from 100000 to 3.000.-
000 and not more than $4,000 are
Americo-Liberians, the descendants Of
liberated slaves. The remainder be-
long to tribes which speak four differ
ent languages and offer only nominal
submission to the government. The
Krus elect their kings by the selection
of the most available man of the royal
house. In the JarrOway tribe the king
is an absolute monarch for the reign
of six years, and is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different Gus
toms.
The tribes do not acknowledge the
government of Monrovia, because they
feel that 1t does not protect them. By
treaty the United States government
is required to help the Americo-Libe-
rians against the tribes, and in 1912
this country helped put down rebel
lion of the KruS.
The constitution of Liberia has q
literacy test, which has heretofore ex-
Guided most or the natives from vot-
ing, as the central government is un-
able to undertake their education. The
Girbas are being taught by Episcopal
missionaries, and the FulingoS who
are Mohammedans, are also gaining
the franchise. The Krus are very am
bilious and are also catching up. There
are more than 80 Liberians of the ma
tive tribes studying in the United
States.

Censor's Office Boy.

It must be the censor's Office boy
who is responsible for some Of the va
carries of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling's
line from the occasional" "The cap
tains and the kings depart" He had
the surprise Of his life when the word
''kings" was struck out. But worse
is now reported. Another scribe,
greatly daring in the meatless days.
quoted Thomas Hoods joke in an ar
ticle on "Wayside Graves" or some
thing equally solemn:
$50 they buried Ben at four cross
roads
With a stake In his inside"
That was too much for the censor's
Office boy. A stake in his inside, In
deed. The censor's Office boy knew If
he knew how to spell that the food
controller would never sanction a
whole "steak"-a nice, succulent, juicy
steak, in anybody's inside. So he de-
leted the offending lines. Who shall
say that we are not ardently patri-
otto people London News.

Health and Height Count.

Every flying man in the United
States air service has to undergo a
strict medical test periodically in Or
der that he may be classified in one of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet. "a" men can stand
the strain between $4,000 and 10000
feet, while the "B" class consists Of
pilots for duties between 5000 and
$4,000 feet, and the "C'' group includes
all airmen fit only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet. 1t has
been found that airmen of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any
length of time. Hence the frequent
medical examinations, carried out by
experts who have drawn up care
fully calculated standard of efficiency.

Slow sartoriai Reconstruction.

The question of civilian equipment
has its humorous as well as its seri-
Gus aspects for the honorobly dis
charged soldier or sailor. Some are
lucky enough to return Immediately

less fortunate, must content them
selves with sort of half and half
adornment. 1t no longer causes
establishment to detect a pair of neat

meath military Khaki Overcoat, or to
see the short blue jacket Of the sailor

Representative Group OF
Citizens Does Not Mourn Prohibition
Satisfied With State Bill

Anti-saloon people of Wausau, who
have been in accord with the work of
the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon league, en-
| joyed dinner and program Thurs
day noon at ST. Johns Guild hall. The
auxiliary of st. Johns church served
delightful repast, after which a pro-
gram of especial interest to the Wis
itors was carried out.
Ex.GOy. Strong Opponent
Ex-Gov. Frank B. Willis of Ohio,
spoke and in the course of his ad-
dress declared prohibition to be the
inevitable, coming in consequence of
realization that it was better to be
fearless mourner at the funeral than
a cherries bedfellow of the corpse.
That the mo Beer-No Work. does
not come from honest labor unions,
but from socialists working under a
mask, was his belief. F. B. Hutton, of
the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League,
was also present.
A. B. French of the state anti-saloon
league made a plea for support for
that organization, the work of which,
I he declared, must yet be carried on in
, order to successfully put into operation
| the new law. Meetings similar to the
one being held in Wausau, he declared
were scheduled throughout the state
Envelopes for pledges were passed
among those attending the dinner
! Approval of the bill under consider
| alton in the state legislature, which
paves the way for strict enforce
ment of the federal law, was indicated
by those present. The bill also pro-
/ vides for the appointment of a COM
missioner of prohibition. No reso-
lutiOns were passed.

and all wealth should be divided

ence produced coins amounting to
about a dollar and one-half from his
pocket. 81 agree with you" he re-
marked "You have convinced me-"
Turning to bystander he asked him
to change one of the pieces for him.
He obtained two notes.
Facing the lady orator, he salo !:
"This is all the money | possess |
will halve it with YOU and he held
out the seventy-five cents. She had to
take it, and wis about to commence
her grafton again when her question
err continued: mo, no. How much
have you in your purse? We must
now divide that, since we are to share
equally in our wealth." Reluctantly
she produced her purse. 1t was open
ed and found to contain twenty dol
lars. The man pocketed ten dollars OF
this, thanked her for her interesting
lecture and withdrew.

BuRIALs AT CROSS ROADS
Events That Led to the lnterment Of
the Suicide With the Executed
Criminal,

In pre-Christian days, suicides were
terribly frequent. and it was general
~ agreed that a man might escape
the burden of life In this manner,
without discrediting his memory.
Christianity with its higher code of
morals. taught the wickedness and
cOwardice of self-murder, in the
strongest terms. When consecrated
churchyards were set apart as the
resting place of the Christian dead, it
was felt that those who died in dead
~ sin. in fragrant rebellion against
their Maker, had cut themselves off
from the faith, and had no right to
await the resurrection with faithful
Christians. They were believed to
have put themselves outside of so
ciety, and to have forfeited their right
to share its burial privileges. In those
early days, before churches could be
built II was the rule to preach and
conduct divine services at the cross
roads. Wooden and afterwards stone
crosses were erected to mark the stu
alton where services would be held.
Some of these have been preserved to
this day, being memorials erected to
the dead, or dedications Of thanksgiv-
Ing Since suicides might not be bur-
led in the churchyard or other conse-
Grated ground pity suggested that the
next most holy spot was the ground
near the old cross, where service had
once been held, or was then held They
buried the poor suicides there, he
cause they were unwilling to relin-
quish hope for them. Afterward, for
the sake of greater publicity, the glib
bet and the gallows were set up at
the crossroads, and criminals were
buried beneath them after their exc
cution. The law decreed that suicides
should lie with these criminals, in or
der to mark the detestation in which
the crime of self-murder was held.
And so what was once signal OF
Christian hope and charity, became a
legal indignity imposed upon the dead
bodies to mark an immensely serious
breach of the law of the country.
