t. B. MEETING

While public health and tuberculo-
sis are general considered dry sub
jects, the meeting Of the executive
committee of the Baraga County Tu-
berculosis Society was far from be-
ing dali and uninteresting.
The report Of the nurse, Miss Knew
les, was received and discussed thor
oughly. While our health conditions
arc about average, we are finding all
too many cases which need immedi-
ate and careful attention.
Her report will be found elsewhere
and should be studied with relation
to previous reports.
The secretary reported that $615.46
was the result Of the sale Of seals and
Health Bonds" last year. The 38 1-3
per cent due the State Tuberculosis
Association was sene and from the
remaining 66 2-3 the cost Of supplies
and Of the sale was deducted. Up to
the present this has been the only
source Of income for the work under
taken by the society and will be insuf-
ficient to carry it on for any great
length Of time. But the necessity fol
persistent, untiring perseverance in
the work against the plague is rec.
ognized and the state and county or.
ganization must be maintained at the
fullest capacity and their highest ef'
ficiency.

the work to be taken up in the
schools, and business men were called
in conference On some Of the prob
.lems4 which were presented for con-
sideration.
Meetings like these should be at
tended by these who are interested in
public health for the educational val
ue is quite out of proportion to the
work that seems to be accomplished
at the meetings themselves. Their
chief value lies in focusing the atten-
ton on what has been done and on
what ought and will be done in the
future-it will give US clearer view
of our problems and better appreci-
alton of the relation of the county Tu-

II right In his hotel room. in fact.
Now Hunt. I want that list. ..
The chief pounded the table for
emphasis. August Bittwein. as
you well know. Is one of the mas
ter minds in the enemy's espionage
system In the United States. He
makes no attempt at concealing
himself. He knows very well we
won't touch him unless We can FIRST
get the Information we want. His
arrest would do us no particular
good without II. We have. every
member Of his suite shadowed.
There are ten Of them, you know,
all posing as servants
These couriers of Bittwein never
communicate directly with mem

TIMELY TIPS FOR
HOME SHOP USE

Want to know how to make
a good dependable weather fore
caster. Jim?" asked Al.
Sure. Mike. / want to know
how to make anything" Jim was
Of a mechanical turn of mind.
We'll. this thing is simple as
the deuce to make. All you need
to do Is to get a piece of white
pasteboard about five or six
inches square. Then go to the
druggist and ask him to mix up
a solution of one part cobalt
chloride, ten parts gelatine and
100 parts water. He won't
charge SO very much-just a few
cents.
You soak the piece OF card
board in this stun for a few
minutes and then hang 1t up on
string run through little hole
you should punch in one corner,
to dry. It's better to put this
hole in the card before you soak
1t In the solution.
Soon as it's dry. the weather
forecaster is all ready to forecast.
Just hang II UP outside some
place where the rain won't strike
It,"
Yes. but how does that thing
tell you what the weather's 60
ing to be?'
Just what I was a-comin' to-"
replied AL. See, now, when the
weather's going to be unsettled
the cardboard will be purple.
When it's going to rain IL will
be light pink. And when it's
going to be clear. the card will
be sky blue"
well. say. that's pretty nifty,
amt it. But will it work all the
timeT'
"Oh. sometimes II won't fore
cast right-even the weather man
can't always hit the nail on the
head. But it's pretty depend
able"
