ShebOygan--All civic organizations
OF Sheboygan have petitioned the city
council to pass an ordinacs requiring
cattle, from which milk sold In the city
is obtained, to be tuberculin tested.
Health Commissioner J. c. Elfers has
taken a lone stand against them. Com.
missioner Elfers holds that testing cat
tie for tuberculosis will not solve the
health situation. Pasteurization would
do more to make clean mix than tn
berculin testing, he says, declaring
that numerous other diseases aren't
considered in the tubercuIn tests, and
that germs from diseases cause more
illness than does bovine tuberculosis.

Fires in American homes are at the
rate of $50 day, one every four min
utes. At least three out of every four
need not start, as they are due to
carelessness solely. which can and
should be corrected.
The home houses wife, children
keepsakes and mementoes, everything
most dear to the home owner and it
is the one class of building where
carelessness and Ignorance in safety
matters is most out of place.
The home owner often knows that
the chimney is defective, that it has
not been cleaned out for a long time
and is liable to burn out at any mo
ment, setting adjacent woodwork or
the single roof on fire, he knows the
roof is defective, old and mossgrown
he knows that the stove is defective.
that it has no stove board, that it
stands too close to a wood or lath-and
plaster wall, that the smokepipes are
too close to unprotected woodwork he
often forces the fire and let's draughts
wide open, he knows that the base
ment, attic and closets are storage
places for rubbish, easily ignited, he
knows that his good wife or the maid
use kerosene to hasten a sluggish fire,
that they use gasoline in the house
for cleaning purposes, that clothes
and clothes are hung too near to the
stoves and smokepipes, that wood is
left in the oven over night, that chill
dren have free access to matches at
all time and use them to play and
build bonfires, he knows that a good
rodding system would protect his
home from the lightning, stroke, he
keeps ashes in wooden boxes and bar
rels and his family uses matches or
candles to hunt in some clothes clos
ct, he knows that paint rags and oily
mops are not taken care of, he also
knows that he has no ladder to reach
the roof or to rescue those dear to
him from up stair windows, he knows
he has no fire extinguisher or any
other first aid fire appliances he
knows all these things, yet true to his
American gambling spirit he risks his
home, the lives of those near and dear
to him, his all.
With such stakes, it pays to play
safe, and safety needs only care, fore
thought and a little common sense.
Let no verdict sacrificed on the altar
of my carelessness' come to trouble
the home owner for the remainder of
life. Industrial Commission.
