The youths were placed in the
South side bastile overnight and
during their stay there attempted

taken from his store when the
place was entered before.

from New Orleans and were on
their way north According to

Preventive " Ork
hCity Schools

The work Of goitre prevention
has already started in the schools
of Baraboo and it is expected that
most beneficial results will follow
the introduction Of preventive
measures which have already been
tried out elsewhere and found
effective.
The treatment consists Of a tab
let given each Monday to pupils
of the city schools. This tablet
contains vegetable iodine in q
quantity sufficient to replace 10
dine which is lacking in soil aud
water in this region and which
lack authorities declare to be the
cause of the many goitres among
children as well as grown ups.
In the First ward school with
208 pupils enrolled, 1865 are taking
the treatment.
For the Second ward, 1872 of the
157 children are taking the pre-
ventive treatment.
In the third ward with an en-
rollment of IT'S, there are 1877 us
ing the tablets.
Seventy of the 1876 pupils Of the
annex have enrolled in the goitre
prevention work.
OF the pupils not taking the
treatment, the majority have al
ready developed goitre and are be-
ing treated by their family ply
sicians as recommended by those
having the work in charge.
The Reedsburg schools started
the prevention work a month ago
and it is expected at the begin
ming Of the fall term that many
of the rural schools will take up
preventive work.

Bootlegging gasoline may prove
just as expensive to the bootlegger
as Bookkeeping liquor under the
new gasoline tax law, according to
Sol Levitan, state treasurer in
Madison.
Persons in border towns who
are driving across the state line
to oil stations In other states to
get their gasoline are liable to
criminal prosecution and a fine OF
$1,000 for seeking to evade the
Wisconsin gas tax, declared Levi
tan, in statement issued today.
1T has come to my attention"
said Levitan, that many people
living in border towns are seeking
to evade our Wisconsin gas tax
by buying all their gasoline in
towns just across the border in
other states.
Such evasion is clearly a viola
ton of the spirit and purpose of
this law. I have just received a
ruling from the State ATTORNEY
Generals office which makes clear
that owners and operators of
motor vehicles are liable for the
tax upon all gasoline purchases
in Illinois or other states which is
used upon Wisconsin highways.
