ed by the Seeley Parsons Company Of
Chicago, was before Justice E. N. Po-
n1ainville Friday afternoon charged
with defraudmg an inn-keeper. L.
P. Daniels was the complainant.
Cadot showed his authority to draw
on the firm which employed, but they
are said to have declared that he had
overdrawn the amount authorized oy
them. When he cashed a draft Of over
$12O, and paid his bill at the Hotel
Witter with part of it, the draft was
returned unpaid. A warrant was then
sworn out for his arrest. CABOT. who
was defended by Goggins, Brazeau s,
Goggins, claims thai the Seeley-Par-

draft.
However, cadot was bound over to
Circuit court, under bonds of $500
furnished by E. P. Arpin, and the
matter will be determined by Circuit
Judge Park.

PRAISES WORK OF
FREE CHEST CLINIC

If the wishes Of certain La Crosse
laboring man were dollars the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis Association
would not have to worry for several
years about selling enough Christmas
seals to carry on its winning fight
against tuberculosis.
wish had million dollars to buy
Christmas seals with" was the en-
thusiastic exclamation Of this young
man at recent clinic, following an
examination which showed that his
recovery from tuberculosis was COM
plete. When the Free Chest Clinic
of the Wisconsin Tuberculosis
Association made it's first visit to La
Crosse two years ago, this man was
among the patients and the examina-
ton received that he was tuberculous.
He had not suspected that there was
anything wrong with his lungs before
this time, but seemed to be losing
weight and pep and decided to take
advantage of the opportunity for free
examination afforded by the clinic.
His first question when he learned
that he was tuberculous was, What
are my chances of getting well?" He
was told that the disease was in it's
early stages and me had every chance
to get completely over it, if he fol-
lowed the advice of the doctors.
Six months later, when the clinic
returned to La Crosse, this same man
was among the first patients, and sha
reward of his faithful carrying out of
orders came when the examiner found
him much improved. The disease was
still in an active state, however, and
the man was urged to continue treat
ment. Upon the next visit to the elm
ic, half-year later, he was again ex-
amined and this time his chart read,
"Quiescept tuberculosis" which means
that the disease was not active Last
week the man came up after work
one night during the three-day ses-
sion of the clinic. Strong and rugged
in appearance, he would never be sus-
pected of having tuberculosis, and
his examination showed that his re-
coyery was complete. Healed le-
siors" was the diagnosis on his chart,
which he jubilantly showed to every
one, comparing it with his first chart
two wears ago and the two between
which showed his gradual return to
health
"If it hadn't been for the Free Chest
Clinic, wouldn't have been exam
ined until was down sick, and then
it would probably have been too late"
the man said. "Wish / had a million
dollars to buy Christmas seals with
but / can buy a few and boost a lot
besides. Those little Christmas seals
have saved my life and many more" :"

SAYS TRAFFIC CCP
GREATS 'EM ROUGH

George o. Gordon of Lodi, Wis,
sends US the following clipping from
the Madison State Journal for Nov.
%:
Madison was branded as a cold
host" today by Judge Walter c.
Owen, president of Kiwanis in an adj
dress before the Rotary club. Judge
Owen gave to the Rotarians the same
talk that he gave to his own club and
Roxana early in the week.
We do not go to any undue pains
to welcome strangers in our midst,
Judge Owen declared, and gave an ex-

MEETING OF
CITY COUNCIL.

Most important of the matters con-
sidered by the Common Council at it's
regular meeting Tuesday evening was
that of the new school for the west
side. The main question in that rela-
tion is that Of location. Considering
the expense of new site, and the fact
that the Lowell site is most centrally
located in the district served, and is
nearly as far from railroad tracks and
other hindrances as any other avail
able site, the School Board, represent
ed by G. 0. Babcock and E. G. Doud-
ma, again presented the recommends
tion that the Lowell site be used.
There was some discussion and no
little opposition, the main objection
to that site, being the nearness to rail
road tracks, resulting in danger to pu-
pills and the loss of time due to noise
of passing trains. It was stated that
wall might be built which would
deaden the noise to a considerable ex-
tent and do away with the danger.
The council decided finally to author
ize the Board to go ahead and secure
plans for a ward school building to
cost not more than $4,000, and have
these plans passed on by an expert to
determine the probable effectiveness
of the proposed wall as deadener of
the sound.
The council decided to buy from Ray
Love strip of land on Franklin street
etween First and Second, as the street
there lies ON part of the Love property.
The Chief, of Police was requested
to prohibit parking Of autos on Vine
street from Second east to the end of
the car line.
The petition for an additional pa
trolman for the police force to pa
troll the business district during the
day and to help with handling traffic
signed by about $50 business men, was
presented and referred to the Board
| of Public Works to determine in con-
ference with the Fire and Police Com
| mission.

NO EXAMINATIONS FOR
RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS
Civil Service Commission Warns A
gainst Misleading Advertising

Washington, D. C.,-The United
States Civil Service Commission stat
ed recently that there have been brot
to its attention numerous misleading
advertising circulars and newspaper
advertisements of certain So-called
civil service scrools.
In these circulars and advertise
ments, information is given that a
railway mail clerk examination is to
be held soon. The Commission stated
that no such examination has been an
nounced and that it is not known at
this time when it will be necessary
to hold an examination of the kind
When one is to be held it will be duly
announced.
Many of these so-called civil serv-
ice schools, said the Commission, re-
cruit a considerable part of their eli
entele among young people of limited
education in rural communities, who
fall easy victims to alluring state
ments regarding railway postal clerk
and other positions in the Government
service and extravagant claims as to
the advantages of training with the
so-called schools.
The Commission points cut that de.
finite and authentic information re.
garding pending examinations may
always be obtained from any of its
local representatives or by writing
to the office of the Commission al
Washington, D. C. The Commission
has representative at the post Of
flee or customhouse in each of ap
proximately $500 cities throughou
the country.

PAPER WINS FIRST

Editor George Frechette and the
other students of Lincoln High School
are receiving congratulations upon the
winning by the "Flashlight," the High
School publication, of first place as
the best publication in the United
States by a high school of less than
500 enrolment. The award was made
at convention of the Central Inter
scholastic Press Association at Madi-
son last Saturday night. No other
Wisconsin High school paper secured
place in any of the classes.
The local High School not only fur
nishes the editorial and news staff Of
the paper, but prints the paper as we'll.
The class in printing under the instruc-
tion of G. Helm, local print-shop pro-
prietor, turns out the paper and
makes an excellent job of it.

SEEK To DELAY
VIADUCT PLANS

The Chicago & North Western Rail
road company have asked permission
to delay submission Of plans for the
viaduct under the tracks at Lyons
Park until spring according to a let
ter from the state Railroad Commits
sion to Mayor o. R. Roenius. This
yiaduct has been ordered built and it
was hoped that it would be done this
season for it is not only continuous
season for it is not only continuous
street railway traffic, but it is also de =
laying the paving of that section Of
Trunk Highway No. Is, which is also
city street of great Importance and
which is in very bad condition.
The proposition of further delay
failed to meet with any measure of
approval whatsoever by Mr. Roenius.
and he stated his intention of taking
the matter up with the State Railroad
Commission at once with a view Of
getting action at an early date, so that
the project can be started early in the
spring and finished without loss of
time
Much building has been going on in
that part of the city lying just across
the North Western tracks, and many
children have to cross the tracks at
that point. The people who live there
are properly anxious that the viaduct
shall be constructed before serious ac-
cident results from the bad conditions
that exist there.

TRI-COUNTY
SANITORIUN

State tuberculosis Sanatorium at
Wales, and now owner of River Pines
Sanatorium at Stevens Point spoke to
the Rotary Club here Wednesday on
the need of additional Sanatoria and
urged the Wood County people to take
a share in the establishment of a tri-
county sanatorium. He declared that
there are not now enough sanatoria in
the state to care for more than one
third the patients who need sanatoriun
treatment
The state pays ST per week per pa
tient to county sanatoria which re-
duces the cost to the counties of main
tanning the institutions. The doctor
stated that the time is soon coming
when tuberculosis will be as fully con-
trolled through the chest clinics, coun-
ty nurses doctors and sanatoria as ty
phoid and such diseases are now.

WATER SUPPLY AGAIN
CAUSING DISSATISFACTION

The water supply of the city is a
| gain giving trouble, which is declared
to be due to the flushing and testing
of fire hydrants preparatory for the
cold weather of winter. Chemical
analyses have showed no dangerous
qualities, it is stated, and the water
is therefore declared to be safe for
drinking and cooking purposes.
However, there has not been a time,
| citizens Of the east side declare, since
the enlarging of the Sixteenth street
pumping plant, that the water did
not turn red when heated and yield
an offensive taste and odor. When
| ever the city water from the north
east mains is allowed to stand for a
time, it turns red, an oily scum forms
on the top and the water has bad
odor and taste. If filter system can
take these qualities out of the water,
one ought to be put in at once, as the
water is said by many to have been
found unfit for laundry and bath pur-
poses, and is unfit for drinking and
coking in its present condition.
Many private wells on the east side
present the same condition as does
the city water from the Sixteenth
street station. 1t is not exactly
known, apparently, what is the cause
of this bad color, scum and odor, but
it seems to be generally believed that
it is due to the marshy land east of
the city from which water drains into
the wells without adequate natural
filtration.
There should be no delay about hav-
ing this matter scientifically deter
mined and the Objectionable features
eliminated, if that is possible. If not
then the source ought to abandoned
and other sources made use Of. The
experimental stages of water works
in this city ought to be past by this
time. If the water from the new
wells is ever to become fit for use it
should show signs of doing so by this
time
Attention has been called to this
matter before, many times by many
citizens of the city. The only an
swer has been that the water is free
from bacteria or other dangers of
infection. What IL it is free from
dangerous qualities? SO long as it
is SO colored as to be unusable, and
so long as it develops taste and odor
which make it undrinkable, it is not
a proper public water supply.
Of course, it is beside the point to
state at this late date that these very
Objectionable features of the water
supply should have been guarded a.
gainst from the first. The question
now is: where shall we go from
here? ?" Some effective means should
be adopted at once to rid this city's
water supply of not only danger, but
of all deleterious substances and quail
tiles of what ever nature.
