Milwaukee, Jan. 1S.-Twenty per-
sons crashed through the ice on the
upper Milwaukee river near the North
avenue bridge one of them drowning,
when they skated onto thin ice on
the channel which had been used to
float ice to the storehouses. Frank
Angst, nineteen years old, 63 Ogden
avenue, lost his life when he broke
through the treacherOus film few
feet west of Whittaker's swimming
school, near the east end of the bridge.
All of the persons who were taken
from the water fell into the channel
cut, according to police, by the Wis
cOnsin Ice and Coal company, extend
ing for about 200 yards from Bech-
STEMS swimming school to the ice
house north of the North avenue
bridge on the east side of the river.
Numerous witnesses stated that only a.
few barbados were placed before the
chaplel, over which thin
coat of ice had formed during the
night The police reported that the
barriers were insufficient and that
no guard or signal had been kept
at the danger spots. The danger area
was enclosed by fencing later.

THRIFT WEEK.

The week of January 18th to Janu-
airy 23rd, 1922 has been designated as
Thrift Week by the National Thrift
Week Committee with.which the Post
al Savings and Treasury Savings
Systems are cooperating, which has
for it's object the teaching Of thrift
and economy and at the same time
concentrating the birth on January
18th, 1706 of Benjamin Franklin, and
to bring to the attention Of the
people the benefits and advantages
accruing to them by prudent living,
systematic saving, and intelligent
spending.
When consideration is given to the
different ways of saving, the Postal
Savings should be kept in mind,
which provides for savings through
the use of the 10 cent savings stamps
and for the direct deposit of funds,
repayable on demand.
The new Treasury Savings certif-
icates offer an absolutely safe in
vestment with a good interest return;
stamps costing $1.00 may be bought
and attached to a card which holds
20 stamps and which may be ex-
changed for a Treasury Savings GER
tificate.
Additional information on this sub
ject may be obtained of Postmaster
Hoen.

Public Health

This time of the year we find here
and there isolated cases of contagious
and infectious diseases, in order to
Suppress these diseases it is well to
remember the rules of the state
board of healthg regarding children
attending school.
Rule number IL, Attendance at
school, when prohibited, all teachers
school authorities and health officers
having jurisdiction shall not permit
the attendance in any private, par
ochial school and public school of
any pupil afflicted with severe
cough, or a severe cold, itch lice or
any other vermin, or any contagious
skin disease, or who is filthy in body
or clothing.
Teachers and parents should remem-
Der, that infection enters the body in
the secretions of the mouth, nose
throat, intestines and skin.
Sunshine, pure air, good food, ex-
ercise and cleanliness of the body
and home are the best aids to health.
The exchange or borrowing Of all
articles which might be used in COM
mon such as pencils, penholders or
drinking cups which, are liable to be
soiled with the secretiorls of the eyes
nose or mouth should be prohibited.
Mhen diptheria or scarlet fever is
present in the community all child
rem with sore throat or discharging
noses or ears should be excluded from
school.
Miss Luetscher asked all teachers
of the rural and small town school to
notify her if there is any contagious
disease in her district, card or tel
ephone call will reach her; either at
the Court House in GAINESVILLE or at
14OO Fourth Street in Beloit so she
may come and help each district in
checking up the cases.

WHERE CHEWING GUM GROWS
In the Tropical JungIes of Campeche,
in Yucatan, the Precious ChicIe
Is Found.


What the chiclero, or chicle gather
er, goes through to bring it from the
forests of Yucatan, it's home, is wildly
told by the United States consul at
PrOgreso.
Primitive and laborious is the task OF
winning the chicle from the tropical
jungles of Campeche. 1t was an
American who discovered that this
could be made into satisfying chew
ing gum.
Chicle is gathered much as sap is
from maple trees in the North. The
chiclero has to groove the bark, and he
ascends and descends the tall trunks
by means Of a rope Topped about his
body and around the tree, progressing
by bitches in the aboriginal manner as
he yields his machete. The trees are
tapped and drained for three success
sive years and then left alone for about
ten years so that they may heal. The
sap is cooked and nodded into blocks.
1t is gloomy work for the chiclero,
out at his far-off hut. He is apt to be
melancholy man and his calling has
It's own particular superstitions, some
of them fearful. Most dangerous is
the belief in 1.-The little old man of the
forest" This is mischievOus phan-
tom in large Mexican hat and serape,
who watches and follows his victim
In the darkness of the deep forest and
makes his presence known by snap
ping twigs. Once a chiclero has seen
this little old man it is necessary to
change his work to keep him from be-
coming depressed and to avoid the
fatal accident which would result
should he cut his rope upon hearing
and suddenly turning to face his pur-
suer.

Filling Cracks in Shoes.

Cracks in shoes, at point above
the small toe of the wearer, may be
easily repaired with gelatine, mixed
with hot water to the consistency of
glue. The crack is filed with the
mixture, and the gelatine smoothed
down flush with the leather, where
upon one or two coatings of formalin
Gao per cent formaldehyde) are ap-
piled to the patch. The formaliri has
the effect of hardening the gela tine,
making 1t waterproof. tough, and in-
soluble in water.
