Good News From
The Seat of War
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The great war goes on. and it is
comfort to know that we are contin-
ually gaining ground and destroying.
one by one. the enemy's forts and put
ting to rout his forces.
The great war is between humanity
on the one hand and disease on the
other.
The eternal conflict is between life
and death.
Sir George Newman, chief medical of
ficer of the British government, de-
ciared the other day the cholera, ty-
phus. typhoid smallpox. tuberculosis
trollable
The anti-toxin treatment Of diph-
tnerla has reduced the death rate IN
that disease from 1913 per cent in
1880 to S.3 in 1922. which means that
Two hundred additional lives are
saved In every one thousand cases.
In 1871 enteric fever claimed 374
lives In each million of the popula-
tion: In 1922 only 12 in each million.
We are living in the golden age
OF medicine. said Sir George: I'm
perceived. II is rapidly changing the
race of the world and the destinies of
men. The extension of the frontiers
or life Is assisted by fresh air and
sunlight in dwellings,. sanitation I'm
supply, and the isolation Of Infectious
persons
The result of this Is seen in the
1act that every child born today has
an expectation of twelve years more
iife than had it's grandfather"
In one sense the battle of life
against death may be considered to. be
always losing one, as in the end all
life must pass. But the real battle is
not TO abolish death. but to enable
N n Ii.
enable him to ripen fully. and to fall
only with the normal decay of his
powers
After all due allowance made for
unpreventable accidents and diseases
beyond any control. il is safe to say
that a large part of the human race
IN each generation is destroyed by the
twin monsters-ignorance and care
lessness
All wars come under the classifica-
tlon or ignorance. as they are not pro-
duced by human nature. but are
caused by the stupidity. blindness and
madness of the ruling classes.
The real value of the medical pro-
iession is obscurcd because we think
100 much of doctors engaged mere
ly in the healing of disease, surgical
operations and the giving of medicine.
But the greatest contribution which
the medical profession makes toward
the welfare Of the race is in the pre-
vention of disease, in the strengthen
Ing OF the resistance power of health,
and in the establishing Of conditions ia
vorable to life.
unfortunately most of this kind OF
work has to be done by individuals
and supported by private beneficence
as no politicians have ever had sense
enough to see that il was more inn
portdnt 10 protect mankind against
disease than IL is to protect one ma
ton from being attacked by another.
II Is too much to hope that any ex-
isting nation will have wisdom and
vision enough to abandon arms and
preparedness to fight other nations
and give itself over to the strength
ening of life and TO preparedness
against the enemies of all life, ig-
norance. bisotry. hats-the spiritual
as well as the physical diseases

than ever before for valuable and ef1-
Cient service"

Count Your Blessings.


When you are inclined to feel
dissatisfied with Northern Wiscon-
sin, it's long winters and late
springs, just remember the beau
tiful summers and the magnifi-
cent fall season. Remember, also,
that while everything is flourish
ing here, while the crops are
growing with such vigor that you
are almost ready to get up in the
night to watch them grow. Okla
homa is being deluged with floods;
bear in mind that while the straw
berries and canteloupes of Florida
and California are ripening early
the poor coop who grows them
has to work his head off to get
them to the only market in which
he can profitably dispose of them
that is Northern Wisconsin and
other sections of less arduous eli
mates.
When you feel like complain
ing about the north woods mos
quitoes just take a slap at them
and remember that here there are
none of the chiggers and fleas
and other pests of Texas, Kansas
and Louisiana. Try and fix in
your mind the thought that when
the southern states are sweltering
under a tropic sun, both day and
night miserable, you can go to
your summer cottage in the lake
region and enjoy yourself TWEEN
ty-four hours in the day if you
choose.
Bear in mind that while Nor
thern Wisconsin may have its
drawbacks they are few and insig-
nificant when compared with the
monotonous heat and unpleasant
ness to be encountered in more
southern, even western, localities
True, we may here occasionally
find numbers of l. w. VS., the
product of both the east and the
west, but we have no Ku Kluz
Khan, no race wars and no convict
labor camps.
When you feel that you do not
like Wisconsin just sit down fol
moment and conscientiously
count your Observation-Disclosures

NEW FISHING LICENSE
n
Permits of One Shipment
During Season-All Over
Sixteen Must Take Out
Permit.

The legislature has finally set
tied the fishing license matter for
this term. Last week they passed
an act raising the price of nom
resident licenses from So to So.
Each male person over sixteen
years must take out a permit to
fish in the waters of Wisconsin.
One shipping tag is attached to
the nonresident license, permit
ting of the shipment of one box
during the open season for game
fish.
According to Game Warden
Oberholtzer, those who were grant
ed a nonresident license with
three tags prior to the passing of
the present act, will be permitted
to ship but one box. Those licenses
used were the ones from 1922, and
were used as emergency licenses
until the legislature could form
ulate law and give the conserva-
ton commission time to issue new
ones. By the issuing Of these old
licenses it now has caused a decid-
ed mixup and much hard feeling
over the matter.
