Mrs. Anna BLANC and son Bernard
from Germany, arrived in Kenosha
Sunday and are quartered with Mrs.

Officer Stemm had received letter in
directly from the Marine hospital at
Philadelphia warning him that they
were members of a party of four, one of
which had developed case of vario-
loid. The health officer found that
neither one of the two was the person
attacked because both had been vac
cinated and showed no symptoms of
the disease. Nevertheless he saw them
safely housed at the Orth homestead
and ordered the exposed baggage and
clothing disinfected.
Whatever benefits the factories
benefits the merchants. Whatever is
thus benefit to them is doubly a good
thing for the town. Kenosha should
have free mail delivery for these rea-
sons. If there is anything needed in
the way of sentiment to give force to
the necessity and render the delivery
all the more certain that sentiment
should be forth coming. Whatever
there is in Kenosha which savors in
the least of backwoodism should be
removed. Let us step up to our priv
leges. We should feel it disgrace to
be behind so many of our sister cities
in so important a convenience and
modern necessity. If anything there is
required by the postal regulations let it
be done at once and another applica-
ton sent in to Washington.
