Feeds Wild Life
On Canada Farm

Dean II. L. Russell and a number
of others came from Madison on
Sunday and spent the day at
Baraboo. Dean Russell has return
ed from a special trip to Canada,
not far from Detroit, to see Won
derful sight. A man who believes
in the conservation Of wild life
feeds thousands and thousands Of
geese, ducks and other waterfowl
when they make their flight north
and south. 1t is costing MIN about
$4,000 a year for the food given
the birds, the corn is hauled upon
the feeding ground by the wagon
load. The birds seem to know they
are protected and come for food
and rest. The excitement lasts
for about six weeks, then the birds
refuse to eat for about two days
and after that time take to wing
again. The one who is doing this
wonderful work gives lectures and
in this way receives monetary aid
for the purchase of food.
He first induced the birds to,
come by placing feed about pond
on his place few decoys for
starter Then the, pleasure began
and now he has the most unique
show place as to bird life in all
America, in fact in the world.

WOMEN'S CLUB
HOLDS meeting

During Lent the Catholic Wo-
mems club has been having a
series Of bible lessons. At an extra
large session recently paper on
''The Bible" was read by Mrs. ].
Fl. Hubbard. Ihe reading was ap-
propriata and much. enjoyed by
those present.
Mrs. Hubbard said in part:
The only way of seeing the Holy
Land, with all its traditions and
recollections is to see it with Bible
in hand. We might pity those who
are tempted to rush through Pal
estine like tourists do Europe. The
Holy Land, more than any other,
requires the Oriental slowness of
travel, the quiet of meditation un-
der the night stars, and converse
ton of noon day rest. It was in
such a manner that Jesus passed
through these provinces. 1t was
under the trees that he taught. 1t
was in the darkness and solitude
that he prayed. How much can
one learn in this way of travel.
He can get. something from the
donkey boy and the mule driver,
It it with soul alive that we should
tread the "Holp Land"
1t is termed the Holy Land
because Christ was born there and
there performed his miracles. 1t
is about one hundred miles in
length and eighty miles in breadth
and is for the most part very hot
and dry. Every aspect of nature
appears here, the mountains, the
sea, the plains, the wilderness and
the fertile fields. The Sea of Cali
lee, the river Jordan, the Mount of
Olives are all unchanged. The
approach from the sea is most
beautiful. Mount Carmel comes into
view. There stands the monastry
of the Carmelites. In a little gar
den by the sea is light house,
built by the Turks, but tended
by the Carmelite Fathers. This
flashes light twenty-five miles out
IN sea. q welcome to incoming Pill
grims.
At Nazareth, the center of the
Holy Land, is the church of the
Annunciation, also a franciscan
monastery. Here dwell the guard
ians of the Holy Land and to
them we owe an immense debt, for
without them we would have on
Palestine, no sanctuaries, no hosts
to the pilgrims. The Protestant
church is just back of the monas-
tary and the protestant orphan
asylum is far upon the hillside
directly looking north, like an over
hanging garden, a thing of beauty.
The city has many religious, edu-
cational and charitable institutions.
Palestine is very rich in building
stone. What it lacks in wood is
made up in rock Of the most
beautiful texture and colprs. The
Virgins Fountain, the only water
source of the town, is to be seen
here. 1t is certain that Mary and
Jesus often came here for their
water supply. Most of the Bible mar
ratives and the life Of Palestine
cluster around fountains. They are
the camping place fer the pilgrims,
the watering place for herds, and
the gossiping place for women the
resting place Of the youths.
Attorney John Malone spoke to
the club on the qualifications OF
the candidates for the coming cleo
ton. His address was received
most enthusiastically

2OTHCENTURY
IN REVIEW

why not try Christianity. was
| the subject of Mrs. c. G. Astles
review before the Goth Century
I club at the home of Mrs. Fred
Berkeley, Thursday afternoon. Sam
uel Zane Batten, D. D., author. is
also chairman of the Social Ser
vice commission Of tse Northern
Baptist Convention.
Christianity as related to war
made a strong appeal to every
woman present and a lively dis
cdssion followed the reading 1t
is. not with organizations or doc
trinal questions that this book has
to do. but with christianity as 1t
relates to life itself and human
ity at large Mr. Burton asks
''Does not the condition of the
world prove that the churches
have been unfaithful to their
tons relating to the value and vi
trus?" and again he says: Cues
tally OF religion were never so
insistent as now"
Some one asked. Phillip Brooks
| if he did not think Christianity
had failed and the great preacher
replied, why bless you man, it
has never been tried We are
continually confronted with ques-
tions we cannot answer. Why are
there not greater results to show
after so many years? Why do we
have slums? Why industrial strife?
Why has not christianity abolished
war? Why did itsnot prevent the
World wars? A war christianizea
| peoples.
These things are found in
land that has long known chris
tianity. Something has gone wrong.
| Mr.. Batten says: Surely no one
can say this is all christianity can
door means" One explanation is,
that christianity is a spiritual, per-
sonal religion, and does not feel
called upon to change social con-
ditions.
Society and nations need reii~
gion as we'll as the Individual. Do
we misunderstood the meaning Of
the message, and is the failure due
to us, as individuals? For chris
tianity works in men, and through
men, and it is here to transform
linens zeal into dynamic energy.
After the World war there was
! jealousy, nations were rent and
torn-this was the time for the
churches to step in with healing
word of brotherhood and peace.
There were brave men in all chur
ches who saw the opportunity, but
the crisis passed, and the work Of
world reconstruction went by de-
fault. Mr. Batten things. He makes
it plain that while christianity has
been tried in part, it has never
been tried to it's full extent -
| though the, spirit of war wrought
mighty changes. The World war
is one of the greatest calamities
1 that has ever befallen the human
race it is impossible for any one
to appreciate the magnitude Of this
calamity, or to measure it's trag
edies. Fully eight million men were
killed, or died of wounds, another
eight million were injured, or
crippled for life. Billions of money
was spent that might have gone
for education, or health, or home
/ welfare, and interest must be paid
on a huge debt. Homes were broken
up, children left fatherless or
worse, and for generations, men
of one race will hate and suspect
men of other races. Could not chris
tianity have prevented this war?
At the next meeting there will
be the annual election of officers.
We would appreciate good at
tendance.

~ Talks on Health
Miss Clark, who is in charge of
the domestic science department
of the schools, told of the best
foods for the growing child and of
the great value OF green vegetables,
spinach, etc. She emphasized the
need Of milk lunch in the school
and gave other helpful sugges-
tons.
DR.. Bowman, member Of the state
board of health, Madison, urged
the use of methods of preventing
communicable diseases, as 100 per
cent small pox vaccination. He
explained the use Of anti-toXin for
diptheria and prevention and spoke
of goiter, it's causes, prevention,
and cure.
County Nurse Mrs. Norma Acott
told Of the cases of abnormal Wis
ion and other defects found in the
school inspection and told how
these may be corrected. She spoke
Of the care of the underweight
child. which requires much rest
and proper food. She laid stress on
the fact that the child is taught
the rules of health in the school
and what is necessary is more CO..
operation in the home.
Mrs. Acott explained an oppor-
tunity to have speech defects in
the child corrected at a session of
the speech department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin this summer,
the only cost to the parent being
the child's maintenance and trans
portatiOn.
Both Mrs Acott and Dr. Bow
man stated that the amount of
goiter in this district is due to
lack of iodine. With the permits
sion of parents, those children who
have not already golfers, will be
given a preventive goiter treat
ment in the schools. Organic iodine
chocolate coated tablets admins
tered by the teachers once a week,
as a food not as a medicine, can
accomplish remarkable results and
the parents will be sent slips to
fill out, assuring their operation
in the treatment, which is endorsed
by all health workers.
