Does Influenza Cause TubercuIoslsY

Dr. Charles H. Marcy of Pittsburgh stated before the Medical Society of Pennsylvania that he had studied 533 cases of tuberculosis, the onset of whose symptoms was referred to an attack of influenza. The number of patients known to have had tubercu- losis prior to the onset of influenza was comparatively small. In the ma jOrity of these cases the influenza had reactivated old quiescent lesions. In 34.3 per cent of the series studied the onset of tuberculosis dated from the influenza. A large number of cases in the series showed other conditions which were nOn-tubercular, though they simulated tuberculosis.

SIPERIOR COuRT.

A session of the superior court was held at Rockville on Friday with Judge l.. P. Waldo Marvin on the bench The session was attached to the April term. Judge Marvin an nounced that he would keep the ses- ] sion open He has called another l short calendar session for Friday, May l 20. Although the June term will come in the first Tuesday in June, Judge Marvin informed the court officials ] that he would divide his time between 1 Holland and Windham counties as l they had been somewhat neglected. i Another reason for keeping the court open was a criminal matter which has i never been finished. Samuel R. Gillian l of Hartford was found guilty of black mail before Judge Hinman and jury and has never cen sentenced, as his 1 lawyers moved for setting aside the verdict.
 Among the cases taken up Friday was the foreclosure of a note Of$7OO of Harry Lassman on property owned by William J. Mcknight on Grove street, Rockville. T. F. Garvin as a real estate agent claimed the property to be worth about $4,200. The court granted Judgement for $9835O and the total incumbrances on the property amount to $4,S50.30.
 Steve KrOzer of Bridgeport, for merly of Holland, secured judgement against Mary Demeter. KroZer sold his farm in Holland and took a mortgage Of $1 ,3G0 which he has never cen al le to collect. Judge Mar win gave judgement for $1,394,85 and fixed the limit at August 15.
 Judge Lctan, formerly of Holland. but now of New York city, secured judgement against Adolph SWiezvet and associates of New York for $1, 616.25. Letan sold his farm on Jan uary 27. He took a second mortgage of $1 ,000 and the Savings Bank of Holland took the first mortgage of $1,500. He was unaf le to secure the interest on the note. The SWietZ- vets sold One-third of the farm for $1,8O0 and left for New York.
 There were several divorce matters before the court. Ella Bass, who lives in Union secured a divorce from William J. Bass on the grounds of de- sertiOn.' She was married April 21, 1904 and her husband deserted her August 15, 1909. Bass was her ~sec-l Ond husband. She was given a de cree and permission to change her name.
 A hearing was held in the case of Arthur Busch against Sophie Busch, Mrs Busch is now confined to the Norwich asylum and was represented by Judge John E. Fisk as guardian ad litem. The court allowed the guar dian $50 for expenses to secure: an: alienist to see if there was any pos sibility of her recovering + f

This Man All Ups and Downs.

J. B. Evans is one of the men who has a distinctive job m the United States, no other man having similar job, or at least not exactly similar. He is the man that runs the elevator in the Washington monument, and he has been sliding up and down that white shaft for 42 years, an exchange states. If one estimates in miles the number of feet he has risen and fallen again, one could find that a similar distance would run three times around the world.
 In addition to this the number of men and women from every part of the world who have been carried up by him would populate New York city, and their numbers have included every sO- cial condition known to man, from rul- ing powers to paupers, and from Af- :ican savages to scientists from the worlds universities. He never com puted the number of times he has been asked: "HOw high Is the monument?" but if he had he thinks it would run into the millions.

Obituary
Arthur William Zantow

Arthur William ZantOW, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Lotis Zantow, was born in
the city of Baraboo on September II,
1899 growing up in childhood in the
above city, later going to the BarabOO
High school for two years, gradual
ed from the 9Th grade in which Arthur
was a busy worker and later the fam
lily moved from Baraboo to about six
miles south of North Freedom on a
farm which took Arthur away from
school, But he was just as much
interested in his farm work as school
duties The young man left his home
On Friday shortly after dinner jolly
and happy as ever not knowing his
time of life was so short. Arthur was
a good friend as well as son and
brother to the family and will be
greatly missed by all who knew him.
He was % years, months and 16
days of age on the day he departed
this life, Friday the 28th day of Jan
uary 1921 $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon. He was working in the woods
when a limb struck him and almost
killed him instantly His brothers
Edward and Walter, were with him
and picked him up in their arms. But
Arthur lived only Is minutes then
departed from us going to his home in
Heaven.
He leaves a father and mother, four
brothers, Edward, Walter, Ernest and
Lawrence and three sisters, Grace,
Marie and Pearl at home, besides a
host of friends.
The funeral service was read by
Rev. Matz from Ableman on Monday
January 81 at one o'clock at the home
and at 2 at the Baptist church at
North Freedom. Burial in North
Freedom cemetery. The pallbearers
were Philip and Wilbur Schroeder,
Emil and Arthur Dunse, Henry Sief-
ert and Ewald Wetzel. The singers
were Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Lange, Miss
Ruth Grosinski and Herman Jahnke.
We hear the soft winds signing
Through every bush and tree,
Where now his form is lying
Away from love and we.
Tears from our eyes are starting,
And sorrow shades our brow,
Oh, weary was our parting
We have no brother now.
Our hearts are very lonely,
Our lives are drear and sad;
Twas his dear presence only
That made our spirits glad.
From morning until even,
Care rests upon our brow;
He's gone from us to Heaven
We have no brother now.

BEST OF DRIVERS MUST
WATCH STEP AT CORNERS

Don't take left-hand blind corners
at high speed. Even if you hug the
right side of the street, you must re-
member that you may meet one OF
the aforementioned lunatics, who, on
his wrong side, is taking the corner
in the opposite direction. If you must
speed, buy racing car. Those things
are built especially for people who
have nowhere to go and who want to
get there Immediately if not sooner.
Usually, though, the trip is suddenly
abbreviated by the undertaken.
When passing over wet pavements
and slippery roads, avoid sudden turns
and spasmodic applications of the
Brakes. Remember that skidding re-
suited in the inventions of curbings
and that a skid is the uncomfortable
feature of car which is synonymous
with jumping from a cliff in two
jumps. When you feel the rear end
of the car starting to slide, turn the
front wheels quickly in the same direc-
ton that the rear wheels are taking
and don't touch the brakes. The car
will right itself if you follow these
directions.
Don't forget that on many country
roads the car, when driven at high
speed, leaves behind it a most unpleas-
ant cloud Of dust You would not feel
! particularly well disposed towards
any one who wantonly smothered your
smartest clothes in dust and dirt.
Don't drive over wet, streets and
roads. A hole full of water may not
mean much to you, but to the pedes,
trian who receives in his face the
water elected from the hole by your
tire it is matter of moment, usually
Of indignation. Remember the time a
taxi spattered you with mud.

ANIMALS IN PETER GOLDEN IN
WAR and PEACE SECOND ADDRESS

Animals in War and Peace" was
the title of an illustrated lecture CIV
en- on Monday night at the Congrega-
tional church. Mr.. Craven lectures
from coast to coast and his work is
made possible by New York bene-
factor.
Previous to the lecture State HUI
name Officer A. e. Frederick of Sparta
told of the work being done in the
Estate and of pending legislation. He
had an unusual experience few days
ago. Word had come to him that
stock in the northern part of the state
was not given water, forced to eat
snow He went to a farm and the
owner was not at home. Mr.. Fred
erick cut hole in the ice by the
drink, and away they went. The cattle
ran mile, Mr. Frederick trying to
get them back. He had to give it up
In the lecture, the pictures were
'sfine. Mr.. Craven said that an aver
age of 1000 animals were taken care
of every day by the humane society in
the city of New York. Dogs are hit
| by automobiles, cats meet with mis-
fortune, horses fall into open sewers
or into the water and must be given
aid. Some are hauled to the hospital
in ambulances.
In the war, horses, dogs and pigeons
did a great service Thousands of
horses were killed and at one time,
when shell burst, the explosion was
sufficient to life horse into a tree.
A picture was shown with the dead
animal far above the ground.
Pictures were also shown where
homeless animals are relieved Of life.
Mr.. Craven said the most humane way
was by gas or electricity. By
means Of gas the animal goes to
sleep without pain and never knows
what has happened. By means of
electricity he also goes when a door
is closed, there being no struggle or
painful feeling.
The speaker implored that many
American homes be reformed. Chill
dren are improperly fed, have poor
surroundings, and are abused. He
believed in tire being plenty of sun
shine in life.
Musical numbers were given by
Mrs. G. w. Snyder, Mrs. A. F. Reiner,
secretary of the Sank County Humane
society," being at the piano.
A junior society will be formed,
Kenneth Weber, Harry Hayco3k, Tom
Mould and Edwin Oiler are among the
charter members.
The lecture on Monday night vas
made possible from the bequest of the
late Mrs. Julia A. Getchel.

MUSICAL ENJOYED
AT NJ. {. CHURCH

In spite Of the inclemency of the
weather, there was a goodly number
present Friday night at the M. b..
chuSch The musicale throughout
was one of superior quality.
Miss Ruth Chambers rich contralto
voice adapted itself equally well to
the serious selection, and to the light
fanciful song. The moment she came
to the platform the audience felt the
charm of her personality,
Miss Mary Hambley accompanied
Miss Chandler at the piano, and also
rendered several instrumental solos.
She had mastered her pieces and de-
livered them with an ease which be-
spoke selfconfidence. Each of the
young ladies responded to hearty en-
cores.
They are students at the University
of Wisconsin. Miss Chandler is tax
ing a four year course in the School
of Music.
Their musicale was a rare treat,
and worthy of a packed house:<o
