me cleansing power of soap is thought by H.
w. Hiiiyer to be largely or entirely explained
by the power which 1t has of emulsifying oily
suostances OF melting and penetrating oily
textures; and of lubricating texture and i'm
purities so that they may be removed easily.
de believes these properties may be explained
by the low cohesion of the soap solutions and
their strong attraction, adhesion or afinities to
oily matter, which together cause the low sur
face-tension between soap solution and OIL

The Astounding prosperity of the
country is reflected in other ways than
in increased bank balances.
The American Grocer presents its
annual estimate of the retail cost of
stimulating beverages, from which it
appears that the nations drink bill is
at high water mark. Since 1880 the
use of alcoholic beverages has nearly
doubled, having increased from 1909
gallons per capita to 1913 gallons, a
gain of over 90 per cent.
The use of the milder stimu1ants has
not grown so fast, that of coffee rising
from 1913 pounds per capita to 1887
pounds, little over So per cent, W lille
tea dropped from 100 pounds to O.94
pounds, a decrease of nearly 48 per
cent. The suppla nting of the milder
for the stronger stimulants does not
indicate greater national regard for
better social and higher physical con-
ditions.
The total bill of the nation for slim
ulants in 1902 was 1850, O98, 276; the
average yearly expenditure for the
last FIVE years, $1,239, 1O8,955. The
record for 1902 represents per capita
expenditure for stimulants of $17.33
for the 79,OO3,0OO inhabitants of the
United States, or A. cents per day.
The users of alcoholic stimulants are
estimated to form one-fourth the total
population, on which basis the per
capita cost of alcoholic beverages is
$69.32, or 19 cents per day.

NEW BANKING Law.
Measure Now In Assembly Requires all
Private Banks to Incorporate.

Measure Now In Assembly Requires all
Private Banks to Incorporate.
To abolish private banks and make
branch banking impossible will be the
effect of two principal amendments to
the proposed banking law which will
be reported in the assembly this week
by the committee on finance, banks
and insurance. The assembly and
senate committee held joint meeting
yesterday afternoon, and after being
in executive session the entire after
noon with Bank Examiner M. c. Bergh,
these features were decided upon.
These amendments will sbe printed
and laid upon the desks of the mem
bers and each assem- blyman will have
an opportunity to acquaint himself
with the exact provisions before vot-
ing.
The proposition to abolish private
banks is not to be a hardship upon
small bankers, as state banks have
been reclassified SO as to admit of es-
tab1ishing banks with SIS, 900 capital in
cities of 1900 or less. The effect of
this provision will be to require all
banks to incorporate under the law
and to prevent the use of the word
"bank" except by those institutions
which are incorporated. AT the same
time the new classification will permit
small bankers to remain in business.
Those who do not incorporate will be
compelled to forgo the use of the
word "oank" in connection with their
business. They can do banking bus
mess as brokers or fnanciers but not as
banks and they will be in no way
under the supervision of the banking
department of the state. In cities of
!, 800 to $500 population the capital re-
quired is but $4,000. These two are
the only changes that have been made
in the classification.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
State Superintendent Sends Out Annual
Program for Celebration In schools.

Program for Celebration In Schools.
State Superintendent C. P. Cary re-
ceived the first consignment of copies

sists Of $500 copies, and within few
days every school in the State will
have one or more of them. Arbor day

year.
The Annual this year is unusually
attractive, both IN appearance and
contents. The cover design is mass
of entwined boughs, with a dozen or
more warbling birds perched here and
there, the colors being green, buff and
white. The cover was designed by NJ.
Harlow, and is appropriate and artis-
tic.
The eighty pages Of the annual are
filled with bright illustrations, score
of clever original articles, and a mass
of prose and poetry gathered from va
rious sources. The drawings for the
book were made by Miss Jennie Pit
man, of Madison. The frontispiece is
a half-tone picture of the Boscobel
high school building. The title page
and the Governors Arbor Day procla-
nation follow. Superintendent Cary,
in his introduction TO the book, says:
"The first purpose of the celebration
arouse in children a strong desire to
know more about the trees and flowers
and animals about them, and to care
more for them.
"The teacher who can, on this and
succeeding days, accomplish this pur-
pose may rest assured that she has
done much to enlarge the life and in
crease the happiness of those in her
care. Children are always interested
in life. It is to them continual Curl
osity and wonder.
1.-THE intelligent teacher will find it
easy but necessary to direct this inter
est so that it shall result in close OBJ
servation and serious study. The ma
terials are always on hand. Every
season presents life in new aspect,
and in almost infinite variety"
Among other things in the book is
an article on "The Dodgeville School
Grounds by Prof. J. w. Livingston,
! Institute conductor of the Stevens
Point Normal School, and one on
"The Joy of Preserving and Improv-
ing" by Prof. Dewitt Elwood, of the
Dodgevil1e schools. Other things of
interest in the Annual are: "Our City
Farm by Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell of

Milwaukee; "Sharp Eyes Goes Driv-
ing" by Leo J. Egelberg of Lacrosse,

old; "April," from Birds and Poets by
John Burroughs, who is accompanying
President Roosevelt on his Western
trip; "Grafting," by Prof. E. P. Sand

scab, by Supt. c. P. Cary, and "The

gestive programs for use in school on

NOT TO OFFER LAND.
Senator OuarIes Comes to Kenosha to Look
Over His Estate,

Over His Estate,
1t vas reported in Racine and Mil
waukee Tuesday night that Senator
Joseph V. Quarles was in Kenosha
Tuesday for the purpose of making a
plat of his property to the north of the
city for the purpose of offering it to
the Government as a site for the pro-
posed Naval Training Station. The
report is found to be without founda-
ton.
Senator Quarles came to the city
Tuesday with Judge Frank M. Fish,
and spent a pleasant hour on the farm
just north of town, but it was stated
by friends close to Mr.. Quar1es that he
had no intention of offering his prop
erty to the Government, and that he
had come to Kenosha simply to make
plans for installing a new tenant
on portion of the land.
The property owned by Senator
Quarles is one of the finest pieces Of
property along the lake shore. 1t is
Just north of Jacobs Island, and CON
sists of eighty acres. 1t would be an
ideal place for the location of the Gov
eminent institution, but the Senator
has made no move to offer it to the
Government.

This is as near as can De secured a
fair statement of the outlook for the
creditors Of the bank, ard nothing
more can be secured until the full lists
of assets and deposits are given out by
the receiver to be appointed by the
court.
The bank will probably be opened on
Thursday under the control of the re-
ceiver and at that time the full condi-
ton will be published to the public. In
the meantime stories of losses from the
closing of the bank are becoming num-
erous. Several deposits of thousand
dollars have been found, but in most
cases the losses are small. One woman
during the past fortnight had deposit
ed two thousand dollars with the Trust
company securing certificates of de-
posit, but one of these certificates had
been used for the paying of mortgage.
The holder of the mortgage still holds
the certificate.
Komp Claims Bank Solvent.
Frank S. Komp, the president of the
closed institution. returned to Keno
sha this afternoon and gave out a
statement in regard to the funds of the
bank. In speaking of the matter he
said: "The State Bank is perfectly
solvent and we have made PROPOSE
ton to the bank examiners to pay off
depositors in full. There is sufficient
cash on hand to pay off all the check
ing accounts and we will be able to
ninety days allowed in the contract.
We are able to meet all these liabili-
ties. The examiners caught us with
our hands tied and outside influence
was largely responsible for the closing
of the bank. We shall fight any at
tempt to have receiver appointed for
the bank and will make an effort to
get fair play. If we are given the
chance we can go to Chicago and get
all the money necessary to pay all the
deposits in the bank in full. The ex-
aminer has refused to allow us the
privilege to do this. Our capital stock
as represented on the books is good
Notwithstanding the fact that it has
not been approved by the ex-
aminers."
Mr.. Komp is now making an effort
to secure some settlement of the mat
ter and since his return to this city he
claims to have received abundant of
fers of help from depositors in the
bank.

Physical Director Morris Begins Work OF
ReOpening Athletic Field In the City,
Physical Director Morris has started
the work of improving the Athletic
field on the old Orphan Asylum prop
erty and it will be in readiness for the
use of the boys and girls Of the city by
the latter part of next week. MANY
improvements are being planned for
the field this year and an effort will be
made to give outdoor sports an i'm
petus in the city.
The baseball diamond will be ready
Tor use IN another week and the track
will be scraped off and put in condi.
ton at once. It is possible that the
tennis courts will be abandoned, and
that new courts will be opened closer
to the center of the city. The lovers
Of tennis in the city have recently
been getting together and an effort is
being made to have a couple of good
courts put in on the property of the
University School.
Director Morris will introduce out
door basket ball this season and courts
will be laid out at the Athletic field:
The success of the Kenosha team
during the season just closed gives
promise that the city will have one of
the strongest athletic teams in the
State this year.

ONE HUNDRED new houses could be
rented in Kenosha this spring and at
high rentals. The demand for house
accommodations far exceeds the supply
and the factory managers are COM
planning of the difficulty Of inducing
capable men to move to Kenosha be-
cause it is impossible to secure decent
places to house their families. The
factory managers have advertised lib
orally in the hope of securing accom-
modations for their workmen, but
without results. There are simply no
houses of the class wanted for rent in
Keuosha. High priced places are not
in demand, but at least a hundred
houses within easy walking distance
of the factories, renting anywhere
from eight to fifteen dollars a month,
could be rented or sold on the easy
payment plan this spring. Enough
new houses will be built in the Balm
subdivision this summer to partially
relieve the present scarcity, but there
is wide field for the investment OF
capital in this class of property still
open, even after the houses at present
contracted for are completed, and CAPT.
tai is certain to receive handsome re-
turns for years to come from any in.
vestment made in renting property in
Kenosha.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
KenOsha Realty Company Purchases the
Graves Subdivision,

KenOsha Realty Company Purchases the
Graves Subdivision.
Papers were passed Monday for the
transfer of the Graves subdivision
comprising some eighteen and a half
acres of land on the limits of the city,
to the Kenosha Realty company. The
property has been plated as a part of
the First Addition of the Kenosha
Realty company to the city of Keno
sha, and the plat was filed for record
with the Register of Deeds Monday
evening. L. D. Graves will retain
thirty seven lots in the subdivision and
these lots will probably be added to
the city by him in the near future.
The property is situated in the fac
tory district of the city and adioins
the property which the Realty COM
pany recently purchased from the
Avery estate.
The plat of the addition to the city
made by the reality company has been
placed on record. The plat has at
tracted good deal of attention on &C
count of the splendid workmanship
displayed by ]. Robson Weddell, who
was brought here from Cleveland to do
the preliminary work in laying out the
subdivision. The'new addition to the
city contains 100 lots and every lot Is
staked off and numbered. The lots
will be placed on the market at once.

Jessey Woods, of Ogdensburg, New York.
Has Designs on Kenosha Property.
Attorney John C. Slater has received
a commission in his line of business
which is one of the largest commits
sions ever entrusted to an attorney in
this city. The commission is to COL
lect fortune of ten million dollars,
which a woman by the name of Jessey
Woods, residing at Ogdensburg. New
ork, claims is due her from relatives
in kenosha. The woman seems to
have discovered that efforts were be
ing made to locate man named
McCuen IN this city and she claims
that she is relative of McCuen and
that the latter is dead. She claims to
have knowledge that he left an estate
to the extent of ten million dollars and
Mr.. Slater mas been given the small
task of collecting the money and turn
ing it over to her. Evidently Miss
Woods is not acquainted with the peo-
pie of Kenosha or she would have
known that her information in regard
to the millions is at fault. The attor-
ney has declined to take the case.
There seems to be a general impress
sion that McCuen who is wanted at
Denver, Col, to assist in the settle
ment of small estate was formerly in
this city butif such is the fact no trace
of him Or any of his family can be
found.

ing Next Sunday.
David Higgins, that excellent COM
edian, and Miss Georgia Waldron will
present their play, CAT Piney RIDGE
at the Rhode opera house next Sunday
evening, supported by fine company
of players. The story of Jack Rose,
with the romance of 'Cindy Lane as an
undercurrent to strong plot, has lost
none of its charm during it's career of
several years on the American stage.
It is at least natural to think it will be
given now better and with more finish
than ever. It is one of the few dramas
tnat seem to grow new in public fancy
with the years instead of wearing out,
The sole reason for this is that it is
one of the real good ones.
