a Source of Typhoid Outbreaks.

One fact, not entirely new but one
whose importance in the preventive man
agement of typhoid fever has been empha-
sized by recent observations. is that the
typhoid bacil are present in the urine in
about IS per cent. of the cases. AS
general rule they appear late in the course
of the disease or during convalescence
and they sometimes persist for long time
When they appear in the urine the bacilli
are nearly always in pure culture and ften
in extraordinary numbers-as many as 300,
ooo. 900 ia a cubic centimeter. These OBJ
s-rvalions undoubtedly explain how many
secondary outbreaks OF typhoid fever occur.
and indicate the urgent need of efficient
disnfection of all the discharges from the
typhoid patient and typhoid convalescent.
AS the period during which given typhoid
Convalescent constitutes a local danger is
uncertain in the absence of the bacteria
logic test, the need of that hygienic labora-
tory in Maine. will, in typhoid seasons, be
daily felt.-Sanitary Inspector.

Better than Pills.

The question has been asked, an
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach &
Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our
answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as they can
always be depended upon Then they
cleanse and invgorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in effect and
their use is often followed by constipa-
ton. For sale by G K Fogg, Skowhe.

kenosha County Building and Loan
Association Has More Demands
Than 1t Has Money.
THIS IS A HEALTHY PREDICAMEMT
All Loans Will Be Made by the Association
Without the Sale of Paid Up Stock-A
Boom in Building at Hand.

The Kenosha County Building and
Loan Association is enjoying an era
of prosperity and the success of the as
ISOLATION is now assured. It also
promises to be of great benefit to the
city Of Kenosha, as many laborine
men have recently united in the work
of the association and in a few years
as the fruits of this union there will
be many pretty houses built in Keno
sha to represent the savings of the
frugal 1aborers.
At the last meeting of the board of
managers of the association it was an
nounced that the association had
loaned all the money that had been
paid into the treasury by share owners
and that there was demand for funds
to the amount of nearly $4,000 over and
above the money in the treasury of the
association. All this money will be
secured by the managers of the associ-
alton and loaned on the same condi-
tons as moneys taken from the funds
paid in by the shareholders. Other
Building and Loan Associations have
been organized in Kenosha, but these
rave been forced to suspend operations
on account of the fact that there was
no demand for the money which was
paid in by the shareholders and the
money laid idle in the vaults of the
company. This change in conditions
argues we'll for Kenosha, as it shows
that the sluggish current in the city
has passed over and that a tendency
for building homes has come in place
of the tendency to hoard money in
banks and wait for some one else to
take up the work of building.
With the coming of another spring
the managers of the Building and Loan
Association are expecting a greater
demand for money than during the
present season and it is thought that
at this time the mem bership Of the as
| ISOLATION will be doubled. The mana
gers Of the association have arranged
to secure money from outside sources,
so that at the present time it will not
be necessary to sell paid up stock in
order to meet the demands for loans.
The loans are made under the usual
building and loan clause and the man
ayers of the association personally su-
| perintend the erection of buildings
erected with borrowed money, so that
the possibility of the association los
ing on loans made is reduced to a
minimum. All the plans of the asso-
citation are very much to the benefit of
the borrower, as it assures him that
his building will be constructed in the
best possible manner.

Kenosha Minister Will Probably Ac-
cept Call to ST. Marcus Church
in Milwaukee.
THE CONGREGATION TO YIELD.
Milwaukee Church Offers SO Great Advance
for Mr.. Dornfeld That the KenOsha
Church Will not Stand in Way.

Rev. E. F. Dornfeld, who has been
the pastor of the German Lutheran
church in Kenosha for the past seven
teen years, will probably close his
pastorate with the church early in
September, ard go to Milwaukee to
accept the unanimous call recently
given him by the St. Marcus church
in that city. This announcement is
not an official one but Mr.. Dornfeld
has given his friends and church mem
bers to understand that he will prob
ably accept the call to Milwaukee. His
last sermon will probably be preached
in Kenosha on September 7.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Dorm
field said: 81 have not fully accepted
the call to ST. Marcus church, but I'm
inclined to act favorably on the call
and there is strong proba bility of my
accepting it. The president of the
Lutheran Synod will be here in few
days and / will not make any an
nouncement of the acceptance Of the
call until shall have talked the mat
ter over with him and until have
talked with the mem bers of the Keno
sha congregation,
Prominent members of the church
seem to think that the church owes a
duty to their minister, and as he has
served the church so loyalty for so
many years they feel that they have
no right to stand in the way Of his adj
vancement in his sacred calling. On
this account, while the members of the
church are in favor of keeping Mr..
Dornfeld in Kenosha, they will not put
one stone in his path should he de-
eide to accept the call to the Milwau-
kee parish.
The future of the Kenosha church
seems to be very dear to the heart of
the retiring minister and he is anxious
to see that some provision is made for
his successor in Kenosha before he &C
cepts the charge of the other church in
Milwaukee. The call to Rev. Dorm
field was such a surprise to the Keno
sha church that as yet no steps have
been taken to select anyone as his sue
cessor. A number of we'll known young
ministers stand ready to come to Ke-
nosha and it is probable that the va
cancy will be filed before the close of
the present year

Racine and Kenosha County Officials Each
Score Eight Runs.
A base ball game which will go down
i'll history was played at Paddock's
Lake Wednesday afternoon between
the Racine and Kenosha county Of
fcials. The score was eight to eight,
yet the Kenosha youngsters really de-
served victory for they had but six
turns at the bat to seven by Racine.
Had the Kenosha team batted in the
lucky seventh inning no tie game
would have resulted. The game was
stopped by the departure o. the train
for Kenosha. The game abounded in
features. A catch of a high fly by
Buckmaster, the batting of Maloney
and Ollie and the pitching of Lans-
downe were only few events which
served to arouse the crowd to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm. The tie
will be played off at Racine a week
from tomorrow and large crowd is
expected. The line up follows:
