Anti tuberculosis Drive
Should Receive Support
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
WILL START THIS YEAR ON
THANKSGIVING

Arrangements are now under way
for the 1922 Christmas seal campaign
the combined educational and finan-
cial effort to combat tuberculosis and
with enthusiasm running high on all
sides over the declining death rate
from this disease in Wisconsin. in
dications are that this will be rec
ord breaking sale. Selection and ap-
pointment of the large army of vol
unteer workers throughout the state
who yearly give their services for
this cause and manage the sale in
various localities has already begun.
The sale will open as usual on Thanks
giving day and will continue until
Christmas.
With statistics showing that an &C
tual saving of at least $50 lives was
made in 1921 as result Of cutting
down the tuberculosis death rate year
by year. the results of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Associations ag
gressive campaign are most encourag-
ing, and hold promise that complete
victory over the White Plague is
drawing near When the Wisconsin
nti-Tuberculosis Association was or
ganized in 1908 the death rate from
tuberculosis was 1877 per 100000
This has been steadily decreased and
in 1921, the death rate was 74.6. The
placing Of the lives saved during 1921
at $50 is considered most conserYa.
tive estimate and is based on the fact
that if the 1908 death rate of 1877
deaths from this disease in the state
instead Of the ], 1884 which actually oc-
cured. If the death rate had kept on
climbing as it had been doing for
several years before it was checked,
the number of deaths in 1921 would
have been even larger than that given
by using the 1908 death rate.
Since the Wisconsin Anti ubercul-
osis Association started its campaign
in the state, remarkable progress has
been made as a direct result of the
Christmas seal sale not only in the
specific campaign against tuberculo-
sis, but in public health work in gen.
eral. This educational campaign has
been instrumental in bringing about
many public health movements of in
calcuable benefit to all, including the
establishment of the county sanatoria
for the treatment of the tuberculosis;
the public health nurse, the open air
school, medical supervision in schools,
free chest clinics and many other
forces for the promotion and protec-
tion of health
Wisconsin has won a reputation as
a leader in tuberculosis work in the
United SSStes. Ranking fourtheenth
on the list of states in its per capita
sale of seals last year, and second
among the states of the Mississippi
valley, it is starting this sale with
determination to win a better record
and to also lead in the sale of the
cherry little Christmas stickers which
have brought message of hope and
health into thousands of homes all
over the country.

BAD AUTO SMASH

A bad accident occurred Sunday
evening on the road west Of town
near the Meeker store when an auto
mobile driven by Chas butcher col
lided with a rig owned and driven by
a farmer by the name of Peters who
resides near the Bohemian school
house. The car struck the team with
such force that one horse was killed
and the other SO badly injured that
it had to be killed The driver of the
team had some ribs cracked or broken
but luckily was not seriously injured.
Too much speed on the straightaway
stretch of road is said to have been
the cause of the collision.

The enthusiasm manifested In
every part of the country in the plan
to stage the greatest agricultural ex-
hisition of all time at Chicago this
year from December 2 to December 8,
has warned the management of the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition that
preparation must be made to pro-
vide accommodation on scale never
deemed necessary.
Six weeks before the date of open
ing the doors to the public, a small
army of carpenters, electricians, dec
orators and other workmen are busy
in the International Amphitheatre and
the more than twenty surrounding
buildings that house the Exposition,
setting the stage for the grand spec
tacle. When it is considered that
these numerous structures cover twen-
ty acres of ground, the immensely Of
the undertaking can be partially mag
ined.
Not content with furnishing the adj
ditionaI Accommodations for an increas
ed attendance and entry list, the man
agement has gone to great expense to
augment the conveniences already
available so as to furnish exhibitors,
visitors and the live stock itself with
a maximum of comfort A scheme Of
decorations and lighting effects is be-
ing installed that will furnish suit
ably brilliant setting for the animated
scenes of the worlds greatest live
stock exhibition. The Kings and
Queens Of the animal Kingdom will
be crowned among sumptous surround
ings and the inspiring. atmosphere of
the incompatible evening programs
will be heightened by the skillful use
of artistic coloring effects that will
surpass anything previously attempted
on such a magnificent scale.

In spite of the Herculean efforts be-

tiers to have the stage set and the

would be we'll nigh impossible were it
not for the whole+hearted cooperation
of individuals and organizations all

is ascribed the outburst of enthusiasm
which assures bigger and better

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-
millar With Anesthesa Many
Thousands OF Years Ago.

The artificial induction Of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradl-
tionally known in ancient times, writes
DR.. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anestheslu thousands Of
years ago. 1t is related OF the Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. d. that
he performed amputatlon, trephining
and other major operations by It's aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesia taken from Persian
manuscript The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
sarnab, IAN earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Ssrnab trephined the
skull This was excellent treatment.
