 Personality Makes q Girl
By MIGNoN HALL

The fact Is that girls are 50 pretty in themselves that he moro modestly they dress the more 1t enhances their beauty"
 This Is what Mrs. Milton P. Hig- gins, president of the National Con- gross of Mothers, has written Mrs. J. P. Levvy concerning Sane Dress Week" which Is now going on in Birmingham, and which will last through tomorrow.
 Mrs. Levvy is president of the Woodlawn Mothers circle which originated the movement and which sought the cooperation of Birming- ham merchants to put on styles suit able for teen-age business girls. and school girls.
 Ensley merchants also added their bit to the good work, and are show ing hundreds of pretty stylish clothes of right colors and cuts which will relieve any girl of tho stigma of being "flashily and ball. room gowned" for her serious du- ties. Their cooperation was ob- tained through the Ensley Mothers circle.

 Mrs Higgins further emph sized:
 "As In a painting there should be one high light and all the others subservient to 1t, r< with young girl The face should be clean, sparkling, bright and the dress neat and harmonizing in color but not co,Jpicuous.
 "I would hate to be recognized by my dress instead of my own per sonality.
 There is no beauty In uncovered knees and bare backs. Instead or being admired. they are stared at and all imperfections noted.
 "If the right spirit which is with in a person shines out from an in- telligent countenance, even though the features may be homely, we shall learn to love that face and would not change 1t If we could. we all reflect within our clothes the main attributes that abide within us.

A ship is loading at Charleston, S. C., with 2,500 to 5000 tons of coke made at the by-product plant of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany in North Birmingham for use in foundries of New England.
 This Is expected to be the fore runner of a regular movement of this coke to New England by rail and water route. It will be so long as cars can be found to move the product to the coast.
 The Sloss-S Sheffield by-product coke has been tried in eastern foundries and proven equal to the best grade of well known bee hive foundry makes. The result has been the large demand which the Sloss-Sheffield IS now filling out of Charleston.

OVER TWO A DAY,

CEVENTEEN lives saved every
week, better than one life every
ten hours, night and day, dur
ing 1921!
$50 lives saved in one year!
That gives some small idea of what
it has meant to cut the tuberculosis
death rate down from 1917 per 1GO,-
900 population in 1908, the year when
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation was organized, to 74.6 il 1921.
Even if the 1908 death rate had
simply been checked and stood still,
there would have been 1854 deaths
from tuberculosis in Wisconsin in
1921 instead Of the 1894 that actual
ly occurred.
Lives saved mean fewer centers Of
infection also and a greatly decreased
danger of contagion.
Many factors have entered into the
cutting down of the death rate but
they have all been a part of or re-
sulting from the organized educational
campaign which is financed by the
annual sale of penny Christmas seals.

HEALTH FOR ALL

@UTTING down the tuberculosis
death rate is not the only way
in which lives have been saved
in Wisconsin since the organized
fight against tuberculosis was begun
and the first annual sale of Christmas
seals was held. The same health
rules which must be followed in curing
tuberculosis will also prevent it.
One Of the important by-products Of
the educational campaign against tu-
berculosis has been the cutting down
of the death rate from other diseases
as well, for tuberculosis is not the
only disease that yields TO sunshine,
fresh air, good food, rest and intelli-
gent medical care.
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association hopes to put itself out Of
business. Prevention of disease is it's
biggest ambition. That is why it has
done and is doing SO much to promote
health work and health teaching in
the schools. It is the originator Of
the fundamental idea now grown into
a nationwide movement and known
as the Modern Health Crusade, that
being but one of the many activities
which the state association finances
with the proceeds of the annual sale
of penny Christmas seals.

TIRNLY convinced that Health
II Work Pays, NJ. J. Cleary of Mil.
waEkee, vice president of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company and a newly elected director
of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association, has accepted the respon-
sibilities of membership on the asso-
cations executive committee. This
committee is composed Of representa-
tive business and professional men
who serve without pay, who meet to-
gether at least once a month through
out the year to transact association
affairs, and to whom all questions of
policy are referred.
For years, as business man, as
an insurance man and as citizen
interested in community progress and
in protection of the home, have been
keenly interested in the work which
has been done by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association and if l can
contribute something to the success
of that work l shall be both proud
and happy" said Mr.. Cleary, when
asked if he could find it possible to
serve. For many years at Madison
l had an opportunity to observe the
work Of the organization and the large
part that it has had in building up
the public sentiment that we now
have and the public appreciation of

An Investment That Paws

IN ECLARING that the fight against
tuberculosis is one of the most
hopeful and one of the most
worth while civic movements the
world has ever known, men and WON
en- all over the state are lining up an
immense force Of volunteer statesmen
in the hope of making the 1922 Christ
mas seal sale a record breaker in
Wisconsin.
There are many proofs that the
money invested in past years in penny
Christmas seals or in their equivalent
in Health Bonds has done great work.
1t has saved lives.
1t has kept homes from being brok-
en- up, children from being orphaned.
1t has reached out the helping hand
to fathers and mothers in despair,
snatched them from the shadow of
death, and given them back the
strength and power to care for their
children.
1t has put men back on the job,
made :hem community asset instead
of a Community liability, and saved
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-12-07

for industry more than one valuable
employe.
1t has sounded the timely warning
to many a schoolboy and schoolgirl
not yet aware that tuberculosis haC
gained foothold and was beginning
it's Gripping work.
By no means the least valuable
service has been in it's direct and in
direct protection of homes, in keeping
workers self supporting and on the
job, in making the schools safer anG
healthier for the boys and girls who
will be the breadwinners and home
makers of tomorrow, and in providing
for Ravens of refuge to which sufferers
from disease can turn for help and
healing when they can be cured OF
cared for tenderly when the fight fol
health is a hopeless one.
Wisconsin's chain of county sana
toria for the treatment of tuberculosis
is one of the many tangible results OF
the educational campaign which has
been carried on for the last fourteen
years with penny Christmas seal sale
funds.

For Change i'm Train Service.

Darlington Democrat: A meeting
was held at the court house last even
ing for the purpose of investigating
better train service between James
vile and Darlington. The commun-
ity is not asking for more trains but
change in the time of those now
running. A schedule the same as
the one used several years back when
there was morning freight carrying
passengers and mail from the east
and an afternoon freight going east
would be satisfactory according to
those who are promoting this action.
A committee composed of Mayor
Peck, H. D. Schrieter, j. L. McGrath,
E. F. Conley and w. E. Collins have
been appointed to meet the commits
sion which has arranged to be in

Alaska Citizen Visits Here.

The Chronicle: Edw Elligen of
Juneau, Alaska, is here visiting with
his brother Chris and other relatives
at Dodgeville and Mineral Point.
The trip took seven days, three on
water and four on train. The CHI
mate at Juneau is milder than here
in Wisconsin, the Japan current
sweeping along the coast, greatly af-
fecting the temperature. Mr.. Film
gen was raised at Mineral Point and
carpentered for many years, a trade
which he still follows. The old Cath
Ollie church in this city was built by
him many years ago. 1t is twenty
two years since Mr.. Ellingen has Wis
tied in Wisconsin and he notes many
changes in the intervening time.
