Today, as the result of the organized
crusade against the great white
plague, there are eighteen public and
one private sanatoria in Wisconsin and
another public institution in Sheboy-
gan county is in the process Of con-
struction. Fifteen years ago a dag
nosis of tuberculosis was considered
by the laity to be practically death
warrant. Today an ever increasing
number of people know that tubercu-
losis is a durable disease and that the
best place to take the cure is in a san
atorium. Hundreds of sanatoriun
"cures" are living in Wisconsin, lead
ing normal, happy and useful lives
The unceasing educational campaign
financed by the sale of penny Christ
mas seals is largely responsible fol-
this change in conditions.

Civic Warnings

That residents Of the District of

Gas company's Plea to
Change Island Designation
Is Rejected

Petition from the Washington Gas
Light Company that Analostan
island have It's name changed to
George Mason island" was re-
.jected by the Board of Commits
sioners today.
1t had been requested by Ord
Preston, president Of the Washing
ton Gas Light Company, that the
name be changed to George Mason
island after a prominent statesman
whose birth is to be celebrated
shortly. 1t would be an honor to
him to have the name OF the island
changed at this time, 1t was pointed
out.
Objection to the change was based
on the fact that the island has had
three names, Kings, Mason's, and
Analostan, the latter being the
name of the Indians which had
settled in that neighborhood, and
that it would be inconsistent with
the use of other Indian names. in
and around Washington to revert
to the use OF a mans name.

Into Office

Edwin B. Hesse was formally
sworn in as major and superin-

Due to the Hntimely death of
the late Major Daniel Sullivan it
was thought advisable by the Com
missioners to move up the date Of
Major Hesse's accession to office.
Clearing Up Office
Work OF clearing up his affairs
as former chief clerk Of the Police
Department has occupied Major

No intimation of who the next
