The L. S. Public Health Service
which includes examination and treat

Siyely organized for the benefit Of dis

Clara Arthur, the local home service
secretary of the Red Cross will gladly
assist men in getting in touch with the
proper examining physician and auth
critics. These physicians made dag
noses and recommendation for Occupa-
tiOnal or social treatment, as well as
advice concerning the mans physical
condition. as there are many nervous
cases resulting from shell shock OF
other nervous affections. One of the
greatest tasks of the public health
physician is the handling of neuras-
thenic cases Most of these are not OF
the nature which require institutional
care but the patients return constant
ly to the Red Cross saying that they
are not receiving proper treatment
Many have been examined by special
lists and no physical reason can be
found for their particular complaints
Psychological treatment is therefore
needed for these cases with encourage
ment and sympathetic understanding.
Among the public health service
hospitals are those given over espec-
tally to the treatment of nervous and
mental disorders, one of which is To-
Gated in our own division at Wauke-
sha. Wisconsin.
The Red Cross is represented in all
public health hospitals through direct
social service workers, or the home
service section of the local chapter.
and in every instance stands ready to
shield and assist the patient and his
family.
The Rusk county home service office
is in the courthouse at Ladysmith.

SUICIDE AT BRUCE

Another tragic case was the suicide
of H. f. McMasters, farmer living
3 miles northwest of Bruce, at about

HIGHER SUBSCRIPTION
RATES NECESSARY

Where should Wisconsin weekly pa
pers set their subscription rate? This
is a question which is a matter for
study with paper prices doubling and
redOubling.
Last summer the department of ag-
ricultural journalism of the College of
Agriculture sent a queStiOnnaire to the
members of the Wisconsin Weekly
league. One of the questions was on
the subscription price. Eighty-two pa
pers sent in replies. None had a S1.0O
rate none had 81 % rate: 45 charged
$3.50: 36 received $500 1 received
S1.35. Most of thees papers were in
the home print class.
A newspaper syndicate has compiled
subscription figures from it's Milwau-
kee office clients. They found the
rates to run: 1 had $500 rate 3 had
$3.50 price: 100 received $500: l
charged $3.50; s received $1.75; 81 re-
eeived $3.50; 3 charged S1.25; s
charged S1.00.
The $3.50 subscription rate is al
ready giving way to the $500 rate
with the more progressive papers.
The scattering subscription rates above
that figure show that the home folks
will subscribe for the well printed pa
per even if the price in paper forces the
editor to pass it on to the reader

DELIVERS THREE
|. ADDRESSES HERE
w. J. Bryan Spends Entire Day
as Ladysmith's
Guest

Three stirring addresses were made
|by William Jennings Bryan in Lady
dysmith last Friday.
The first was at the informal ban
quet at noon given in his honor by the
Chamber of Commerce in the American
Legion hall. After the ladies had
served splendid luncheon, the world
renowned orator was introduced by
Atty. j. w. CarOw, who, i'll his brief
remarks, gave most eloquent tribute
to the peerless cOmmOner." The dis
tinguished visitors response was in a
happy vein, prefaced with fine trib-
ute to the ladies. He gave numerous
interesting and humorous reminis-
cences Of his political life. LeVeille's
orchestra furnished music for the ban
Quet and made Il hit when they struck
up the familiar refrain of How Dry
[ Am" as Mr.. Bryan was escorted TO
his seat
IN the afternoon Mr.. Bryan addressed
a large gathering Of the older children
in the highschOOl assembly room.
Teachers and pupils from the training
school were also present for this
speech, which was well calculated to
leave with the children an increased
realization Of the value of education
in fitting them for citizenship and the
better things of life. The editors of
the "HighschOol Special were enter
prising and took advantage of the OPP
Nv To inf wit In
Mr.. Bryan for their paper, which he
cheerfully gave them. In many ways
during the day he gave evidence that
he was aptly named the great COM
mOner."
Mr. Bryan's main address, at the
gymnasium in the evening, was as able
and eloquent sermon as was ever
preached from a pulpit. And Where
are the Nine" taken from the seven
teenth chapter of st. Luke, seventeenth
verse, was his topic OF text. the theme
of which was the ingratitude of many
for the blessings we enjoy from living
in this favored land, under it's benef-
cent form of government and from the
Christian religion. Those who expect
ed a political address were possibly
disappointed. but his stirring appeal
for finer ideals of citizenship and in
creased recognition by every individ-
ual of his or her personal responsible
;ty in having and maintaining good
government certainly left an indelible
impression of good on all save those
who are absolutely imperviOus.
Speaking of the prohibition amend
ment. Mr.. Bryan said the amendment
did not forbid the use Of alcohol. 1t
regulated only the quantity of water
TO be taken with it. He declared that
anyone can have pint of alcohol, and
surely one pint is all anyone wants to
drink. We say-'Certainly you may
drink your pint of alcohol. but you
must drink so gallons of water about
a barrel with it. +"
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Ladysmith was
an event that will never be forgotten
by those who enjoyed listening to one
who has such marvellous faculty OF
combining simple words and phrases
that all can understand in such man.
ner as to reach the hearts of his hear
ers. The visit of such a man with such
a message cannot help but profit any
community.
