New Kind of Chicken.

Chiffon is Boosting of an Esqui-
mo hen. Know what an Esquimo
hen is? It's a hen that steals her
nest in. the winter. time and
matches out a nice downy little
brood of chicks. While 20 below
weather was prevailing not long
ago hen belonging to a citizen
of that place Matched out a brood
of little chicks. This fact is re-
markable, not so much from the
unseasonableness of the circum-
stance as from the fact that the
nest was in the woodshed a few
feet off the ground and exposed
to the severe weather. The little
biddies were taken to warm
place after being discovered and
appeared to be as healthy as
though it were April says the,
Chiffon Times.

The Bows Chance.

This is written for Eagle River
boys to read.
The other day superintendent
of large industry in Wisconsin
gave luncheon to five hundred
boys. This superintendent, who
has been with the firm oyer forty
years, talked to the boys. He said
that he started in factory at the
age of fourteen as a poor boy
that made the boys open their
eyes. He also said that practically
every important executive in that
industry had begun as factory
boy, or as an office boy-the boys
sat up straighter. The superin-
tendent said that the president of
that company came to the concern
as an errand boy, and that future
officials would be chosen from
among just such boys as you.
The superintendent, formerly a
poor factory and office boy, told
them some more things. He said

and three prenatal cases were ex-
amined by DIR. Cora Allen of the
State Board of Health. DIR. Allen
and Miss Mccarthy will not be
here this month for Health Center
Day on account of the conditions
of the roads, but the Center will
be held by the County Nurse, who
will weigh, measure and advise the
mothers as to feeding and proper
diet. Miss Christman will also
examine teeth, throat and general
physical condition of children. It
is hoped that weather conditions
are such that a large attendance
may be had. The clinic will be
held on Wednesday, February 9th
instead of Thursday.
The second inspection of the
Eagle River Schools was started
February 10. Several corrections
have been made during the past
year, such as having the eyes fit
ted with glasses, dental case and
also cases of diseased tonsils re-
moved.
At Phelps % pupils have had
dental attention; have had ton
sis removed and have been fit
ted with glasses. This speaks
we'll for the people of Phelps, we
realize that it is hard for the
parents to send their children out
of town for corrective work. 1t
is hoped that this coming summer
we can save the people the trouble
of going out of their home town
for medical attention by bringing
IN several clinics, such as Tonsil,
Eye and dental. This can easily
be done, if we are given the sup
port of every one in Villas county.
More definite plans for this will
be given later.

Yes, We have None.

Yes, we have no county nurse,
but we did have one one time and
the things she did and the things
she said and the things that were
said to her live after. For in
stance, she visited a home where
the lady of the house was absent,
but her children were home. So
the county nurse looked them
over for any defects and found
that one of the children had ade-
noids. So the nurse wrote a brief
note to the fond mother, telling
of her discovery and with the adj
vice that the adenoids should be
removed. The county nurse was
dumfounded when she received a
real sassy letter from the afore-
said fond mother in which she dis
puted the assertion relative to the
adenoids, stating that she used a
fine tooth comb on the child's
head and never found a single
adenoid. = Neillsville Republican

COUNTY NURSE REPORT
Second Inspection of Phelps
School Shows Interest in
Health and Physical Wei
fare of Pupils.

The success of health work is
not the number of schools inspect
ed nor the number of homes Wis
tied; it depends on the results OBJ
tanned from these visits. The
County Nurse feels that the peo-
pie are cooperating with her as
well as can be expected. We know
that it is hard for the parents to
have much corrective work done
and when they make an effort to
help, it is greatly appreciated.
Part Of January was spent at
Phelps, making the regular in
spection of the pupils. A great
improvement has been made the
past year in regard to personal
cleanliness among some of the
pupils, as against the conditions
last year. In 1923 it was neces-
sary to exclude 16 children on ac-
count of having head lice. This
year only two children (from the
same family were excluded and
two were given notices that nits
were found on their heads. Last
year several cases of itch were
found, this year none, altho four
cases of suspicious impetigo were
present. These were under the
care of the family physician.
About 500, more of the pupils are
brushing their teeth. This shows
that the pupils are taking more
pride in their own personal care.
The teachers are to be commend
ed for their hearty support in
this work.
The following is the report of
the Phelps school:

To the Editor of The Republican:
l was interestd in reading in the
last issue of The Republican that a
bond issue will be voted upon to buy
a county home and farm for the poor.
Strictly speaking the question is none

dent nor a tax payer, but l lived in

ing an interest in the question.
1t S true that he counties of Penn
cy!valia have poor houses. In an
automobile trip across the state a
few weeks ago, saw several of these
county homes. They all had big, pre-
tentious buildings, and beautiful, well
kept lawns. A few years ago l visit
ed the interior of one of these homes.
Everything was scrupulously clean,
but bare and scantily furnished.
saw them eat at long tables, covered
with oil cloth, and drink out of tin
cups. Although there was large
dairy of Jersey cows, they had molas-
ses instead of butter to put on their
bread. The butter was sold to help
pay the expenses of the institution.
Truly, it takes more than four walls
to make a home.
l remember, when l was a child,
Bradford county, Pennsylvania, built
a county home. There was an old
man of my acquaintance, who was a
physician, DR.. Mott by name He was
a graduate of Yale. He was too old
and feeble to practice medicine, ard
lived very carefully but happily and
with self-respect, upon a small allow

county. When the home was COM
pleted, the county notified him that

might be multiplied. Any person
with proper self respect would as
soon receive a Jail sentence and rath-
er receive a death sentence than to
go to the poor house. "Let all who
enter here, leave Hope behind" might
well. be inscribed upon the portals OF
the door.
1t is a question of Importance, be-
cause the wheel of fortune turns
round and if you and never come to
want, our children and grandchildren
may. Life insurance statistics show
that ninety-fve percent of all men
are either dead or dead broke at
sixty-fve years of age.
Many counties, which have poor
houses, are provided by private char
ity with homes for children and the
aged, as it is generally. conceded a
poor house is not a suitable place for
this class of people. Nearly seventy
percent of the inmates of poor houses
are diseased either physically or men
tally, and would be better cared for
in hospitals and asylums. The best
thought of the day is away from poor
houses and not toward them. Some
one has said, "By the time we learn
how to run our poor houses, they Will
be abolished.
The fifteen thousand dollars which
Garrett county pays to care for its
poor. is a very small sum, compare
lively speaking. 1t would hardly pay
for the upkeep of the buildings and
the salaries of the people who care
for them. The advocates Of the Moth
ers' Pension bills have proven that 1t
is cheaper to care for a child in a
home than in an institution.
Let US apply the golden rule to the
question and furnish conditions for
the unfortunates of the county, that
we, ourselves would be willing to sub
nit to, under like circumstances.
Then shall we receive the commenda-
ton from Christ, ''In as much as We
have done it unto one of the least OF
these my brethren, ye have done 1t
also unto me-"
God speed the day when Mothers
Pensions and Old Age Pensions shall
take the place of poor houses.

SOCIALISM KNOCKS BUSI-
NESS.

A late issue of Golfers contains an
article by "Noted New York Jour
nalist' which represents the attitude
of all yellow and red theorists against
business in general.
There is a large group of so-called
editors, writer's, college professors
and highbrow theorists who actually
look with contempt and feelings of
pity upon the business men of Our
Country, large and small.
They have deep feeling of sorrow
that the business man, from the
manager of boot black stand to an
international railroad, cannot get
over being a business man, thinking
business and talking business.
There is a special regret that all
the public affairs of Our Country can
not be turned over bodily to this
great group of well-meaning theor-
lists and reformers who take them
selves very seriously.
They denounce business men as
slaves of the dollar and broadly say,
"all that matters ishuman beings and
their welfare" and go so far as to
assert that business men behind the
payrolls and industries are ali rob
bers and public enemies.
Great abundance of this kind of
talk can only lead the people of the
most prosperous country in the world
into the quagmire of paternalism,
socialism, communism and radical
ism, all ending in the spectacle of
soup houses and bread lines for the
wage earners.
The simple fact remains and is be-
coming well understood by the Amer
lean people, that business efficiency,
generally speaking in all lines, is 100
percent more efficient than political
management and abstract theories.
