The boy was very near to deaths

by Miss Elizabeth Leenhouts, the first
county visiting nurse in Wisconsin.
He and younger brother had moved
out from the city of Milwaukee and
taken possession of vacant shack in
the woods near Cudahy, in tragic at

boy had an unreasoning dread Of the

When Glichlich left the camp he and
another graduate tried farming on an
upstate farm owned by Maj. G. L..

unfortunate one and the experiment a
costly one for DR.. Bells, who had
gone to a considerable expense equip

young men a chance. His faith in
Glichlich was mistaken, however, and
the boy went to work at Muirdale as

school. He had learned to read and
write English while in the sanatorium,
being taught by Miss Rachel Horner,
the first director of occupational Their

the dictionary soon became one of the
favorite jokes of the sanatorium.
Young Glichlich meant to get the most
out of his days spent in taking the
cure.

the San, are unwilling to do their part
in getting well. felt this way about
it. My life and health were worth
more to me than they were to anyone

could show me how to get well,

Young Glichlich enlisted for military
service in the infantry, April 2, 1918.
He went first to Camp Custer, then
to Camp Taylor, and finally to France,
with the camp hospital to which he
was transferred from the infantry,
when it was learned that he had had
hospital experience as an orderly.

the interview with the prospective en-
ployer progressed favorably until Mr..
Reich mentioned that he had recently
taken the cure for tuberculosis. He
felt that this was only honest and he
also hoped by being frank to win SYM
pathetic consideration until he fully
regained his strength. For walking
the streets in search of a job had
taught him that the long enforced
idleness in the sanatorium had left
his muscles soft and flabby and that he
tired easily.

one of the first graduates Of the Toma-
hawk Lake Camp for tuberculous con-
valescents. Recently returned from
active service in France, young Gl1ch-

of wealth, to whom his story had been
told, to finance the college course has
been gratefully but firmly declined.

Glichlich. 81 have some money saved
and / am able to work"
Three and one-half years ago when
young Glichlich, then 19 years of age,
was graduated from the Tomahawk
Lake Camp, he said:
81 must make good. It's the only
way that can pay back the state OF
Wisconsin for what it has done for
me. l owe my life to the state and
I figure the only way that I can pay
a part of the debt is to make some
thing worth while out of that life."
Since that time the boy has served
one and one-half years in the army,
interrupting his school course and his
work at Muirdale to enlist and pass
ing the army medical examinations in
spite of the fact that six years ago
when he was taken to the Milwaukee
county sanatorium, everyone, physi-
clans, nurses, and the boy himself, felt
sure that he had come there to die.

has paid back the state in service and
proved that the investment which it
made in him is good one-but he is
not satisfied. He means to carry on
in civilian life. His first ambition was
to be doctor, but he has been ad-
vised against this owing to the IT.

training by which flabby muscles have
been made firm and lungs and hearts,
weakened by illness and months of en-
forced idleness, have been strength
ened, but it has also been labor of
love on the part of the men. Roads
have been cut through the heart of the
forest, bridges built over streams
finding their way to a nearby lake,
acres of land cleared and transformed
into garden and farm, and more than
one building has been added to the
original administration building, TWEEN

and barns with which the institution
started it's work in August, 1915.
There is no more beautiful spot in
all Wisconsin than Tomahawk Lake
Camp. It is situated in the heart Of
the forest reserve in Oneida county
and is a lasting memorial to the late
Frank A. Hutchins of Madison, with

he was almost starving. He had lost
his voice and could keep nothing on
his stomach. For several days Miss
Leenhouts cared for him in the little
shack and finally she persuaded him
to let her take him to the sanatorlum.

speaking of this experience. Il

Now 1 know I surely would have died
if hadn't gone. For three weeks they
kept me alive by injecting food and
for six weeks I lay at deaths door.
But the first day that kept some food
on my stomach, began to believe that

that if the doctors and nurses could
do that much for me, they could do
more and that it was up to me to do

"The position is vacant. Why don't
you apply for it," asked DR.. Coon.
And that's how on July 1, 1914, Mr..
Reich stepped into the employ of the
state and into the position which led
to his selection as superintendent Of
the Tomahawk Lake Camp when it
was opened in the summer of 1915.
That's why he is so we'll fitted for the
great work that he is doing, why he

not yet learned that there is no danger
of infection from the conscientious
consumptive who knows how to take
care of himself and protect others and
certainly none from the sanatorium
graduate in whom active disease has
been arrested.
Worried by his disappointments and
reverses, Mr.. Reich began to fear that
he was slipping" physically, so he re-
turned to the state sanatorium for a
chest examination. DR.. J. w. Coon,
who was then the superintendent. soon
had the whole story.
How would you like to come here

amazement. "There's nothing I'd like

GET OUT THE VOTE

n EPUBLICAN party workers
X throughout the county should
be as keen to get out the vote
at the special senatorial election
next Tuesday as they would at a
general election.
To be sure, it is foregone con-
clusion that. Frank A. Smith, the
Republican candidate, will win.
That is not the point. He should
have a big majority, both because
he is well fitted for the place and
had the full support of the party
organization for the nomination, but
for the sake of party prestige as
well.
Every election has some bearing
on that to follow. BY failure to go
to the polls next Tuesday Republi-
cans might encourage Democrats to
make real campaign for office in
the fall. The best way to discourage
the opposition is to keep on piling
up Republican majorities like that
by which Lieutenant Governor
Beidleman was elected in his home
district last autumn.

THE SUFFRAGE VOTE

A FTER marshaling the utmost
~ resources of their party the
Democrats of the Senate have
been unable to put through the reso-
ution proposing an amendment to
he constitution giving suffrage to
women. On October 1st of last year
fter the President had appeared

hitherto faithful lieutenants that the

vote became evident, but before it
rad been officially announced, one
"f the Senator'S who had voted in
he affirmative changed his vote to
he negative for the purpose of NOV

natter, and paving the way for an
"ther trial of strength after the
'lections of November last. But even
shat extreme legislative resort failed

Presidents friends apparently really

fort was made in the pre-
election campaign last fall to fill the

Who would obey the command of the
party leader and vote for woman
suffrage. But the Democrats were
still unable to muster sufficient
'trength, and in the final test the
resolution lacked one vote of success.
An analysis of that vote is in

al party the women must look for

% opposed, one less than the re-
luired two-thirds of those voting.
Twelve Senator'S were recorded as
not voting, but were paired. Thirty
one of the Affirmative votes were
siven by Republicans, and two of the
'airs held similar views. Eleven Re-
publican votes and one Republican n
'air registered their opposition.
fwenty-four Democrats voted for

Congress on Its Last Legs
[From the New York world.1

GFrom the New York World.1
With only q fortnight more of life,
the Sixty-fifth Congress faces a re-
cord, so far as it's closing session is
concerned, that is unexamplcd in
dilatoriness. Not one of the great
appropriation bills is yet out of it's
hands, and there is reason to be-
lieve that some of them will fail
of passage.
For this delinquency both parties
are responsible. The first duty of
Congress being legislation. it has
devoted itself to oratory, to denun-
citation, to investigation, to assaults
upon the executive department, to a
presumptuous attempt to command
the army and navy. to interference
with diplomacy and to "a vast
amount of cheap politics in other
directions supposed to have a bear
ing upon the Presidential election
next year.
If the present eleventh-hour
status of a dozen of the greatest
money bills ever known is not
enough to condemn this body in
both branches and on both sides,
there is another indictment even
more serious. The Sixty-fifth Con-
gress is the only democratic parlia-
mentary body in the world that has
given no serious attention during
the past winter to problems of peace
and reconstruction. 1t has dallied
and drivelled with its own business,
1t has made many ridiculous ex-
cursions into the business of other
people, and now it is seeking in a
wild closing rush tG pass appropria-
tions of thousands of millions
We have heard a great deal from
this Congress about the failure of
other departments of government.
Where else in all the tremendous
activities of the last two years has
there been such a complete break
down?
