OF INFLUENZA.
THE STATE DEFINES WHAT
SHALL BE DONE

The influenza is still in hiding, as, it
were, but the various municipal health
departments of the state are of the
opinion that it is only awaiting a
favorable opportunity to pounce upon
the many. At this time last year we
were in the midst of the flu; our citi-
zens were dying rapidly from pneu-
monia and other troubles resultant
from the flu. About the only indi-
cation at this time in Wausau is the
prevailing colds, most everyone is
coughing or sneezing; some are con-
fined to their homes while others are
muffied up and walking about. 1t is
perhaps the result of the change in
the weather from warm to cold and
in not having sufficient heat in homes
Today there is practically no cases
of influenza in the city nor in the
state and by following out the or
ders of the health and local boards,
it will go far to dispel the danger of
a recurrence of such an epidemic as
was had last year. The new state
rules which are to be observed are as
follows:
All cases must be isolated.
All cases must be reported within
"a hours. Where a physician is not
employed the head of family must
report.
Patient must not resume his usual
vocation until ten days after temper
lature is normal.
While the home is placarded, all
except those engaged in gainful oecu-
pations are prohibited from leaving
the premises and these are not al
lowed to frequent public meetings.
Teache4s in placarded homes must
take up their residence elsewhere.
Police are required to prevent lott
ering in public places and to enforce
| ordinances.
Home must be aired woodwork
washed and bed-clothing of the pa
tient boiled and aired.
| The isolation period is until the
Temperature has been normal for four
successive days.
| If the influenza threatens to become
/ an epidemic, visitors are excluded
from hospitals, asylums, ETC., except
in case of actual emergency.
/ Attendance at funerals are limited
| Precautions are adjised against
sneeZing, coughing or speaking in {
manner to give off germs, or the pos
sibility of conveying infection by
soiled hands, drinking cups, roller
towels, infected food, etc.

FINDS RARE COIN
AT HAZELHURST

Charles Fandrich of Grand Rapids,
Wis, while digging for angle worms
at HaZelhurst Oneida county, found a
medal dated 1776, which was evidently
issued in cOmmemoratiOn of the inde-
pendence of the colonies. On one side
is a bust of George Washington and
on the other side the bust of Gen.
Frederick Won SteuOen. The medal is
about the size and thickness of a $40
gold piece. and when he first saw the
piece Mr.. Fandrich thought that was
what he had found. The relic was
rather rusty, but when polished was
found to be in a good state or pre-
-Rhinelander New North.
Perhaps this old coin was planted
by some former little girl or boy of
HaZelhurst who had hoped to be re-
warded with an abundant harvest.
Nothing strange about this We were
all made happy in our childhood by
suggestions that money would grow

FINELY ORGANIZED
THE TEN DISTRICTS IN WIS
CONSIN REPORT SPLEN-
DID PROSPECTS

Word has been received from all
ten districts in Wisconsin that the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated cam.
paign is being we'll organized. The
public are becoming more and more
interested as they learn of the aim
and needs of the Wisconsin colleges.
When asked as to why five million
dollars was necessary for the Wis
consin colleges Mr.. Karl Mathie, dis
trict chairman, made the following
statement:
Colleges all over the United States
including such well known institutions
as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell
Leland-Stanford, in spite of their
great endowments of from twenty to
thirty million dollars each, are pro-
jecting campaigns for from eight to
fifteen million dollars. Then these
rich institutions find that they have
not enough money to continue their
work. it is not strange that our small
Ter institutions in Wisconsin are meet
ing with the same difficulty. In COM
parison with the number of pupils in
these institutions our Wisconsin COL
leges are asking for much less money,
POI PNPAA.
The chief reasons for necessity of
the campaign are:
1st. The decrease in the purchasing
power of the dollar which affects the
running expenses of the schools and
the salaries of the teachers, and
End. The enormous accelleration in
the demand for education which grew
out of the War.
Never before in the history of Amer
lea has there been such a need for
well-balanced, thoughtful, intellectual
trained leadership. The country is
asking the christian colleges TO pro-
duce these trained leaders and in Or
der for the Wisconsin colleges 20
meet this demand it is necessary for
those citizens of Wisconsin VITO can
afford to help to come to the rescue
of our schools. Every individual de-
string to aid in this great movement
for education will be given a chance
the week of the campaign which is
Nov. 18th to 18th.

RED CROSS SEAL SALE
Wisconsin VIII Maintain Record as
Leader of States

Predictions that Wisconsin will
maintain its position of leadership in
the Red Cross Christmas seal campaign
to be launched early in November
were expressed by NJ. E. Kaletzki, New
York City, regional director of the
National tuberculosis association, who
attended seal sale conference at the
office of the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis association, which annually con-
ductsl the sale.
"The plans of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association to enlist the
financial aid of every resident of Wis
consin, even though it may be in a
minute degree, in the fight against
tuberculosis through the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals, holds unlimited
educational value" said Mr.. KaletZki.
II have found everywhere realization
of the meaning of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal" Mr.. KaletZki said.
"The people are becoming more thor
oughly acquainted with the important
fact that the fight against tuberculosis
is essentially fight for the preser-
vation of good health; that its effects
are definite and tangible, and that the
results of the work done can be traced
into every home in the land. The
seal is being recognized everywhere,
not only as a Christmas messenger of
hope and good cheer, but as the direct
emissary and instrument of the great
body of men and women who have
dedicated their knowledge and ex-
perience to the crusade for good
health. have been gratified to find
a widespread recognition of the fact
that the pennies spent for Christmas
seals are vital units in the great
fight, are in fact, the sole source of
funds with which to carry OIL. the work.
Wisconsin has one of the most Wig
orous and most intelligent programs
of public health work and great
sale of seals is essential to its full
realization. We look to Wisconsin to
maintain its place among the leaders,"

CAVE-IN AT MOSINEE
Fred w. Krause and Walter Jensen
Buried Alive While at Work
in Dry Well

This week seems to be a week OF
accidents for Mosinee and vicinity and
what probably was the worst of them
all occurred Wednesday morning
about ten thirty at the home of Fred
Krause in this city.
Mr.. Jensen is a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Krause and lived with Mr.. Krause.
They were digging a dry well and it
was while thus engaged that the ter
rible accident happened. The well
was constructed square and part of
the walls had concrete sides. Mr..
Jensen was standing on a staging in
the well throwing out the dirt that
Mr.. Krause was passing up to him
from the bottom. They had dug to
a depth of about sixteen feet when the
pressure of the dirt broke the concrete
side of the well and caved in upon
both men. Mr.. Jensen at the top was
caught between the concrete slabs and
nearly crushed to death while at the
same time he was buried in sand up
to his arm pits. Mr.. Krause who was
at the bottom of the well had the
most miraculous of escapes. The con-
crete slabs fell in such a position that
with not a quarter of an inch to spare
on side. That his head was not
crushed is a miracle.
1t is not known exactly how long
the men were imprisoned before their
plight was discovered but it is thought
that only a short time elapsed. AS
soon as the news was known great
many people hurried to the scene and
many willing hands shoveled dirt as
fast as possible in an attempt to free
the unfortunate men while there was
yet time. Teams and scoops were
used as the concrete slabs were of
such size that they could not be
moved without entirely uncoVering
them. 1t was difficult work to hold
the slabs so that the men would not be
crushed and at the same time keep the
dirt away from them so they could
breathe. However, the work was fin
ally accomplished and Mr.. Jensen was
taken out about a half hour before
Mr.. Krause could be removed from
beneath him. Mr.. Krause was prob
ably in the well with his head out of
the dirt from 10:30 until 200 o'clock.
DR.. Jackson took charge of the men
when taken to their homes and they
were cared for by Miss Heebink, nurse
for the Wausau Sulphate Fibre Co.
1t is thought that Mr.. Jensen Jared
the worst of the two in spite of the
fact that he was nearest the top ow-1
ing to the fact that he was pinioned
between the concrete slabs. Both men
will probably recover.-Mosinee Times

CLOCKS SET BACK
Daylight Plan is Favored In the East
and a Campaign is Being Waged
to Re-Enact the Law

Last Sunday the clocks all over the
nation were set back one hour, making
the time by the sun rather than by
the daylight-saving time. The setting
was done generally, on Saturday night
and consequently there was none of
the confusion which prevailed when
daylight saving was first put into eff
feet in the spring of 1913.
There are many throughout the
country who favor the daylight
ing plan and a campaign is being
waged in the east to re-enact the law.
The law was defeated by congress and
the bill was vetoed by the president
and the bill was repealed over the
Veto A Lincoln Fiiene an Eastern
enthusiast has outlined a plan i in
which he s:
Daylight saving has shown it's
worth in improved health" 1t has
made for better production in indus
try at a time when increased produc-
tiOn was necessary, without increased
human toll. Fuel has been conserved
through enactment of this measure,
and recreation and home gardening
encouraged. Many industrial accidents
have been prevented.
All commercial organizations, most
of the labor, and all recreational and
social Welfare organizations are sup
pOrters of the plan. So much for its
benefits and now to its objections.
| believe that most of the objections
placed by the agricultural interests
are greatly exaggerated and that there
is no opposition to the measure among
farmers in general. In proof of this,
the editors of a large agricultural
magazine making a 4,000-mile tour in
May and June throughout the middle
west encountered absolutely no op-
position to the daylight saving meas
ure.
Some farmers who hire great deal
of transient labor, complain that re-
gardless of what time their men start

NOT A HOWLING SUCCESS


The Dollar Day." in Wausau was a
partial success. The dollar off and ar
tieles sold for a dollar had attrac-
tions for those in the city, but seemed
to be~no inducement for those in the
country as there were none who came
in more than on other days. This
WIS because of the lack of advertis-
ing perhaps. The dollar day was fixed
for Wednesday. The Tenth Infantry
Band marched the streets in the after
noon and played before certain of the
mercantile establishments. The way
this was done was a mistake. If the
fact had been announced, it would have
bee. more effecuve, as il was no one
knew what the band was out for.
Future dollar days in Wausau can be
made much more of a success properly

Contracts were recently made for
the sale of logs at s23 to $25 for maple
and hemloek, $50 to S32 for birch,
elm and Eastwood clog rum, and $55
for birch and Eastwood veneer. There
is an exceptionally good demand for
veneer logs. The labor shortage lis
not quite as acute as last year, and
the scale OF wages for work in sthe
brush" is high. The lowest paid is
$50 a month and board. and expert
enced men are being hired for as
high as $50 and $50 a month.

WHY DAYLIGHT SCHEME
FAILED

The Thrift Magazine: The secret
has leaked ont that the real reason
why the farmers were opposed to the
daylight-saving plan was that they
were not able to get the roosters to
adopt it. The he-chickens insisted on
going to work on the old schedule.
In open defiance of congress they re-
fused to knock off the extra hour
from their morning beauty sleep. So,
under the new plan, instead of the
roosters waking up the farmers, it
became necessary for the farmers to
wake up the roosters. This, quite
naturally, aroused feelings \of mutual
antagonism. No farmer relishes the
task of going out each morning while
the moon is still riding high in the
heavens. and cutting barn yard full
of roosters off the perch. So there
was nothing to do but repeal the law,
