MANY DEATHS
PREvENTABLE
One Out of Every
Three in State Dies
of Cancer, Tubercu-
lOsis or Heart TrOu-
BILE
(5y uniteo F'ress)

Madison, Wis.-Nearly one out OF
every three adult deaths in Wis
consin during 1924 was from tu-
berculosis, cancer or heart trouble.
This showing is the subject of
comment in the quarterly bulletin
published by the state board Of
health, which adds that most of
these deaths were preventable, and
nearly all of them were premature.
Deaths from these causes totalled
1855.
"Most, If not all, OF these deaths
occurred" the board explained, "be
cause the patient did not know
they had the disease until it had
progressed to such an extent that
cure was impossible. Tuberculos-
is and heart disease are in the ma
jority of instances preventable.
They with cancer are durable in
their early stages. Prevention is
accomplished through remedying
defects-either physical or in the
mode of liying-which are oredis-
posing toward their diseases. Cure
is effected through early recogni-
ton and prompt treatment"
IAN unfortunate factor, it is de-
clared, is that the symptoms of tu-
berculosis, cancer and heart dis
ease are usually not clear cut and
easily recognizable by the patient.
They are not diseases which are
capable of self diagnosis except in
their later stages.
THE patient all too long does not
realize" the boards comment con-
cludes, "that there is any particu-
lar trouble until the disease has
progressed to an alarming if not
hopeless condition. Both pteYen-
ton and cure can be accomplished
in one and only one very simple
way-complete physical examina-
ton with the following out of the
physical advice"

Huge Boulder
Dug Up On
u. ". Campus

Madison - A big granite boulder
weighing perhaps 70 ton on Obser-
vatory hill, at the University of
Wisconsin - a relic of glacial days
has been dug from its resting
place, which was seven feet below
the surface of the ground, and will
be faced with a bronze tablet pre-
pared by President Emeritus q. A.
Birge in order that visitors may
know its history.
The boulder has hitherto been
visible only foot and a half above
the ground and scientists have long
specialized as to its age. 1t is
thought to have been brought from
the interior of Canada during the
ice age. Biologists will begin
soon to trace its history.
The weight of the boulder is es-
timated at 5 to 70 tons. 1t is 10
to II feet high and II feet long. A
boulder of about the same size
stands in Grant Park near the Art
Institute in Chicago.

Make Cow Pay
Wages Is Hint
ToThe Farmers

Watch the pay envelope your
COW brings in if it's bigger re-
turns you are after, the Blue Val
ley Creamery Institute advises the
enterprising Wisconsin dairy far
mer. To find out exactly the Wag-
es per hour that each COW is pay
ing for the labor md care experd-
ed ON her, it is merely necessary
to deduct the total expenditures
from the total receipts of each
COW and divide the difference by
the number OF hours of labor eX-
pended on her during the year.
On one Of four neighboring
farms where careful records had
been kept it was brought to light
that not only did the farmer re-
ceive no wages for the time spent
on his cows but that it actually
cost him 1877 cents an hour each
to have them hang around his
place. In the other three in
stances, the farmers were paid at
the rate of Ga, 421 and 48.3 cents
per hour for the time and labor
spent on each OF tneir cows. The
two lots Of cows bringing home
the latest pay envelopes were bet
ter bred than the others, although
the right kind of feed and better
care would have done much to-
ward making the others profitable
employees The amount Of butter
fat produced annually by each
of the cows was found to have a di
rect relation to the number Of
hours Of labor and the care which
they received, in each instance
the animals with better care pro-
ducing the greatest income.
Costly Error Here
1t is a costly error for the farm
er who uses family labor to as
sumo that whatever the COW pro-
duces is all to the good, accord
ing to the Institute He should
not be satisfied until his careful
record keeping indicates that he
is receiving at least current wages
for his efforts. The record will
further point out to him the un-
profitable members of his herd and
these he should am to replace
with animals that will produce on
an aveage of ESQ to 925 pounds of
butterfat each year With the non
producers cut out, and the good
stock left put on balanced rations
and given proper care, there will
be no reason why the farmer
should not receive a full pay en-
velope from each COW in his dairy
herd.

FROM
WISCONSIN, TO
MEXICO SOON
Chicago Firm Ready
to Start Work On
$15,0OO,OOO Contract
First of 3 Roads
BY Brownie

Milwaukee, From Milwaukee to
Guatemala in the Central Americas
by automobile over good roads will
soon be a reality rather than the
myth it is now, according to a press
bulletin sent out by the Mexican
government. A contract has been
signed by the Mexican highway
commission and the Byrne Bros.
construction company Of Chicago
under which the latter will con-
struct for Mexico a set of roads
which should virtually revolution
ize the southern republic when it
comes to transportation. The
main road will be a first class auto
route through Mexico from Laredo,
Tex, to the Guatemalan borderline.
Within a year it should be pos
sibIe for Wisconsin motorists who
wish to tour new terrific Y to start
out and take concrete from this
state to st. Louis and then contin-
ne southwest through oklahoma
and Texas to the Mexican border
ind then venture on the new Mexi-
can highways, through the historic
southern republic. The route from
Chicago to Laredo will undoubted-
~ be declared a United States high
way and marked under the federal
plan now being projected. This
is almost certain inasmucn as it
viii connect up the main Mexican
highways.
President Gales of Mexico has
been a strong booster for good
roads ever since he took office and
realizing that only a well-planned
system Of good roads would raise
his country from financial and gen.
eral dependency he has been hard
az work on the project. The Chi
cago firm which landed this fat con
tract Oh I5,OOU,UUU declares IL viii
start work at once. The gas tax
will pay for it.
Plan Route to Border
According to the Mexican high
way commission there will be three
main roads constructed. The first
in Importance is that from Iexico
CITY 70 the United States border at
Laredo. The distance by rail
road between the two cities is a.
bout $50 miles. No conjecture
can be made as to what the road
distance will be due to the many
different types of ground to be trav.
ersed.

Find Substitute
For Hard Coal

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has been
given President Coolidge by John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the
United States coal commission,
that there would be no real suffer
ing to the country due to the abb
sence of anthracite if the people
sanely adopted methods to use sub
stitutes such as soft coal, coke and
oil. There is supply of anthra-
cite on hand, Mr.. Hammond de-
clared, to ward off any serious
shortage for two months longer
and the fuel demands of the ma
ton can be met by the use Of btu
minous and other substitutes for
the rest of the winter.
Mr.. Hammond has spent the last
two months studying the situation
as chairman of the New England
governors fuel commission. He
began working early in August,
when it was apparent that a strike
could not be avoided, to find the
best means of getting soft coal and
to educate people to it's use. Mr.,
Hammond estimates that the New
England coal consumers already
have saved more than $4,000,000
through using soft coal and other
substitutes for hard coal. He be-
lieves that $70OO,00O annually
could be saved by New England
hard coal consumers.
