LONG DRY SPELL
SEEN IN OFFING
NEW DRY ACT ENTAILS 80
DAYS OF PROHIBITION.

Madison, Wis, May 23-Wisconsin
is in for a long dry spell. For at
least one month after the Matheson
prohibition enforcement bell becomes
a law, no liquor can be either pre-
scribed or sold within the state le-
gally.
The bill does not become law un-
til after it is approved by Gov. J. j.
Blaine and has been published. Gov.
Blaine will either sign or veto the
measure this week and it is assumed
he will sign it.
From the day of publication until
each doctor and druggist has secured
a special permit issued by Prohibition
Commissioner Stanley Smith, all le-
Ultimate liquor sales are barred.
Smith estimates it will take a
month before the necessary forms re-
uuired by the Matheson bill can be
printed and other preliminary work
Is performed. During this interim, me-
dicinal liquor must remain in the
drug stores.
A record of every sale of liquor
must be filed with the state when the
bill becomes effective. Here are some
of the record requirements of the
proposed law:
Name of doctor giving prescription
Name of the druggist filling it.
Kind of liquor procured.
Date of sale.
Number of sales to the same person
within six months.
Signature Of the purchaser.
Signature of the seller.
Copy of the prescription.
Copy of the affidavit required of the
purchaser in which he must swear he
is II years old and has not had
prescription for thirty days prior tc
sale,

THURSDAY BLAZE A HOT ONE

A small but intensely hot blaze
drew the fire force and a large crowd
last Thursday morning when the pop
factory barn went up in smoke and
the garage nearby was practically
ruined
The blaze was first noted by Frank
Burrows of Burrows & Hyde, lessees
of Guy Horsfall, owner of the build
ings. Mr.. Burrows saw the smoke
emerging from the barn loft and gave
the alarm then going down to rescue
what property he could from the
premises.
The fire got beyond control in a
few minutes and the attention of the
fire department was directed toward
adjacent homes and buildings threat
ened by the intensely hot fire. The
Mcnamara house and barn caught
ablaze but a casualty there was pre-
vented. Sparks and brands, flew a
considerable distance from the burn
ing barn.
Frank Burrows, assisted by Lou
Lou Starr, Jr., succeeded in saving
the Dart truck although they had
difficulty getting the engine started
and the cushions at one time were
afire Mr.. Starr was burned on one
arm.
Mr.. Horsfall loses barn and part
of the garage his damage, he says,
being not less than $1,000. He carried
$500 insurance. The other losses in
cluded a wagon worth $100, two sets
of sleds, wagon box, one set harness
and a ton of hay.

PEACE TREATIES CD
To CENTRAL POWERS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The
formal terms of ratification Of the
peace treaties with Germany and
Austria have been sent forward to
Berlin and Vienna, it was announced
today AS soon as these formal ex-
changes have been completed with
the former enemy powers it is ex-
pected that immediate STEPS will be
taken to set up diplomatic nlachin-
cry and resume full normal relations
with those governments.
American troops will begin NOV
ing out of Germany Immediately upon
the exchange Of the ratification of
the German treaty, it was added.
The movement, 1t was said, will be
normal, but slow, and will begin
in approximately two weeks.
The withdrawal of the troops, it
was said, had been delayed BECAUSE
their presence in Germany had been
proved to be far from obnoxious,
and even desirable to the govern
ment and people Of Germany. There
are now approximately $4,000 Amer
lean forces on the Rhine.

Mr.. Osborne presents unique
decalogue written by DIR. Franklin
H. Martin, of Chicago, secretary
general of the American College OF
Surgeons. DIR. Martin says he got
the idea during the Detroit meeting
Of the American college, when DR..
Allen B. Kanaval visualized ten
cancer points by throwing them
on the screen. These DIR. Martin
has translated into the ''Ten Com
mandments of Cancer" They fol-
low:
1. Remember that cancer is a
relentless foe of humanity; that
it attacketh the rich and the poor;
the learned and the ignorant, and
that it's toll of death is greater than
the destruction of the most malevo,
lent war.
2. Remember that cancer in its
beginning IAN be cured. and that
the wise man, accepting the advice
of science, and recognizing the be-
ginning, causes cancer to be cut
from the body.
8. In this affliction heed not the
voice of the ignorant, and submit
not thy trouble into the hands of
the Quack, because thereby death
will be foreordained.
4. Search thy body for blemishes,
the first signs of cancer, and if thou

S. One day each year thou shouldst
rest from thy 1abors and give
the day unto an examination Of
the body, that the physician may
search into thy body for Ills that
should the signs of cancer be evil

dreaded Of deaths
6. Thou shouldst remember
that cancer is not a blood disease
but rather an ailment which begins
in one spot and spreads slowly ex-
tending through the lymphatics: nor
is 1t hereditary.
z. Remember that cancer can be
cured If completely removed by the
knife before it extends through the
lymphatics or blood stream. and
that no other means of curing deep
seated cancers has been discovered,
but be it known that radium and
X-ray hold 0ut hope because Of their
effect on superficial cancers, and de-
lay the progress of inoperable cases.
8. Remember that cancer is not
painful in it's early stages.
8. Remember that irritation OF
tissue favors cancer: that a sore
tongue irritated by a rough tooth,
a cracked lip, a cigar, a pipe, or "a
cigarette, and warts upon the eye.
lids, noce, or face should command
the attention of a scientific physi-
clan. q,
