BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
They Are Worth the Little Trouble
1t Takes to Acquire Them.


Beautiful hands are bought with eter-
nal vigilance. Do you admire them
sufficiently to pay the price? Any
hand that is kept we'll is in a certain
sense beautiful. An ungainly hand
well kept passes for more than well
shaped hand neglected. But even the
shape Of the hand may be cultivated to

While using the broom, dustpan, coal

the finger nails prevents dirt settling.
Health is the first requisite to pretty
hands. Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" in the case Of the hands as in
everything else.
A pinch of borax or a few drops Of
ammonia in the water, with the use Of
pure CASTLE soap, does wonders. When

NURSERY NOTES.

No one should allow a baby under
one year to have anything but his bot
tie food and boiled water, well cooled,
to drink
Nervous children should never be
scolded unless it is absolutely neces-
sary and should never, under any cir
cumstances, be ridiculed.
Children's stockings can be re-en-
forced by lacking a thin piece Of black
net or yelling on the inside of the
heels and knees before wearing them.
A healthy child's head should be
washed once every week in summer
with soap and tepid water and in win
ter not SO frequently. Frequent wash
ing keeps the hair perfectly healthy and
removes the dandruff.
A physician says that with delicate
babies inunctions Of sweet oil, lard or
vaseline are invaluable. The oil should
be gently and thoroughly rubbed in. A
little massage over the baby's abdo-
men is a better cathartic than med
icine.

Oldest Living Thing.

The distinction Of being the oldest
living thing undoubtedly belongs to
one Of the giant trees, and many at
tempts to locate 1t and determine it's
age have been made. A century ago
De Candolie found two yews- at
Portugal, in Perthshire, and one at
Hedsor, In Bucks thatwere estimated
to be respectively $500 and 3,240
years old. Both are still fourishing,
and the older tree has trunk TWEEN
ty-seven feet in circumference. A
gigantic baobab of Central America,
with trunk twenty-nine feet through,
was thought by Humboldt to be not
less than $3.50 years old. Mexican
botanists believe they have now dis
covered q life-span even greater than
this, and from the annual rings a
cypress of Chapultepec, whose trunk
is 118 feet in circumference, is as
signed an age Of about $500 years.

PLAN JOINT MEETING
Teachers Of City and County to
Hold Joint Meeting in Keno.
sha November 10 and II
NOTED EDUCATORS COMING

superintendent Of Schools p. j..
Zimmers and County superintendent
j. ]. Kerwin of Silver Lake have
formulated plans for a joint teachers
meeting to be held in this city on No
vember 10 and II. The meeting
promises to be one Of the most inter-
esting and profitable gatherings ever
held for the teachers of this section.
It will be two days institute with
features that will attract many visit
ors from other cities. The superin-
tendents have sent invitations to the
teachers of Racine and Waukegan
and it is expected that large de1ega-
ton will come from each city.
The meeting will in no way conflict
with the meeting of the Southern
Teachers Association at Waukesha
next week nor with the state gather
ing in Milwaukee but it is intended
to supplement the work of these two
meetings. The instructors for the
institute are among the best known
educators of the state. Prof. w. H.
Cheever of the Milwaukee Normal
and A. H. Sage of Oshkosh will have
charge of the regular work of the
institute and dozen classes in the
different subjects will be organized.
While the time for work will be small
it is expected that large number of
subjects may be treated.
The feature of the two days meet
ing will be lecture by Former State
superintendent L. D. Harvey who will
speak on the benefits to be derived
from the teaching of Manual Train
ing in the city schools.
Mr.. Harvey is an expert in this line
and his lecture will undoubtedly be
one ofrare interest. All of the meet
ings will be open to the public.

To Butter Pans.

Too few housekeepers know how to
butter pans in the most approved way
A brush is a more thorough and a
much heater way Of applying the but
ter or lard to pans. A paint brush
will answer the purpose, but one of
the best should be chosen, as there is
then not so much danger Of the bristles
coming out, and it lasts much longer.
After thoroughly washing the brush
soak it overnight in cold water. When
ready to grease the pans melt the but
ter or lard dip in your brush and paint
your pans. By using a brush you can
go into all parts Of the pan, which
cannot be done when paper is used.
and the fingers should not be used
When through wash the brush thor

Alderman Stemm Of the Sixth
Ward Demands That Railway
Obey the State Law
VESTIBULES FOR STREET CARS
Alderman Claims That the Street Rail-
way Company Has not Strictly OBJ
served the Law and Asks City
Attorney Slater to Act

City Attorney John C. Slater has
been asked to take some action to
force the Kenosha Electric Railway
company to obey the law to the very
letter in regard to the building of
vestibu1es for the protection of the
men employed as motormen. The
movement is started by Alderman
Fred Stemm of the Sixth ward, who
states that he is wholly disinterested
party and that the action is being
taken wholly from humanitarian
standpoint. The law provides that
the street railway shall enclose the
front end of their cars so that the
motormen and conductors will be pro-
tected. The company has in a
measure carried out the spirit of the
law but it is claimed that the present
protection provided is not in keeping
with the letter Of the law. The
section reads as follows:
every person, partnership or cor
poration owning or operating a street
car line in the this State, the cars
upon which are propelled by steam,
cable or electricity, shall provide all
closed winter cars with a suita BILE
protection of wood, iron or glass or of
other material sufficient to protect the
employees engaged in operating any
such cars from exposure to the in
c1emencies of the weather, such pro-
lection to be maintained from the first
day of November, to the first day of
April in each year"
The law further provides that it is a
duty of the city attorney to start an
action against the company to compel
the enforcement Of the act. Of
course the company has until the first
of November to comply with the law,
but it is not probable that any further
protection will be given for the
motormen and conductors as the
vestibules which are now in use were
used all during the last winter.
The motormen seem to make little
complaint at the present time, but
when the bitter winter weather comes
they will suffer hardships if the vesti-
bu1es are not FULLY enclosed.

PEARLS MUST BE WORN.
II Stored Away the Jewels Are Sure
to Languish and Die.

If Stored Away the Jewels Are Sure
to Languish and Die.
That pearls "die" in obscurity and
retain their luster and value when
worn frequently is a fact that has al
ways to be borne in mind by the own
ers Of jewels.
Pearls must be worn frequently to
preserve them. If you take a pearl
necklace and lock it up you will find
that in the course Of years the pearls
become dull and lose the sheen that
makes them so valuable. Heirlooms
which have been carefully treasured
will sometimes be found to have de-
Perforated in this way. They lose their
glow and in some instances become al
most black. Pearl necklaces never
keep so we'll as when they are con-
stantly on the necks Of their owners.
It has been suggested that personal
the matter, but it lis more likely that
the effect is due to light and air.
You can wear pearls practically as long
as you like, certainly for fifty years,
and they would give no indication Of
change, and you might lock pearls up
and perhaps in twenty years they
would show signs Of dying" There
are, however, ways of resuscitating
pearls, but the fact that they Idle" is
quite clear.-London Mail.

A FULL and free discussion before

more valuable than the resolutions

might have done much good, although
there would have been practically

A GOOD percentage Of the dirt that
it costs the city SO much money to
clean off of the paved streets is
dropped there by overloaded wagons
in violation of the city ordinances. It
might be cheaper in the long run to
enforce the ordinance and keep some
Of the dirt off the streets, than it is to
clean it up. The experiment is worth
a trial.

them. Is it necessary for somebody
to be killed in order to bring this mat

DO SHOPPING ALONE.
Good Reasons why You Should Not
Take Friend With You.

Good Reasons Why You Should Not
Take q Friend With You.
Don't take friend along when you
go shopping that is, if it is important
shopping. There isn't one woman in a
thousand who can help advising you
for your own good" and resenting
it hotly if you don't follow her advice
slavishly.
Perhaps you're one of the people who
think they don't know what they want.
In reality, you know very well what
YOU don't want-which is a long step
in the right direction. And if you're
persuaded into getting something you
have the least feeling against you'll
hate it unreasonably when you might
so much better be hating either your
own INDIGESTION or the too decided opin-
ions of your friend
When you've almost made up your
mind to a purchase something a bit
extravaganza, perhaps-and need some
thing in the nature Of moral support,
then is the time to get hold Of that
decided friend. You want to be per-
suaded into getting that thing, though
you don't admit it, but when some
body agrees with you land friends al
ways obligingly help you to be ex-
travagant that you really need it, you
get it in a furry Of gratitude for such
helpful advice
Asking advice upon shopping prob
lens is delicate business, and you must
be sure that it is likely to agree with
your own secret desires before you
venture to court it. Philadelphia North

kenosha Home Telephone Co.
Files Articles Of Corporation
With Secretary Of State
TAKE OVER LINES AT ONCE
Company Has Capital of s175, 900 and
is Incorporated by Alonzo Burt,
James Cavanagh and
Frank S1osson

The deal to form union of the
Citizens Telephone Company with
the Wisconsin Telephone Company's
exchange in Kenosha was completed
this morning, and as an evidence of
the conclusion Of the deal papers were
forwarded to Madison for the incor-
poration of 1.-THE Kenosha Home
Telephone Company" The incor-
porators of the company are: Alonzo
Burt, of Milwaukee, president Of the
Wisconsin Telephone Company, Jas.
Cavanagh and Frank Slosson, of Ke-
nosha. The latter two stated this
morning that they were not financial
~ interested interested in the deal,
but had consented to act as incor-
porators.
1t is stated in the state charter of
the company that it is to have capi-
tai stock of $175,OOO, of which SIS, 900
is to be treasury stock to be used at
once for the improvement of the
property to be purchasedlby the COM
pany. The remaining capital stock
will be paid in at once and theraking
over of the lines by the new company
will be concluded by the first of No
vember. The bonds issued against
the plant of the Citizens Company
will all be taken up, as it is the
agreement that both plants be turned
into the new company without en-
cumbrance. The stock of the COM
pany will be issued in shares Of 500
each, and while no effort is to be
made to have the company a close
corporation, it is understood that
every share of stock will be staken at
once if the people of Kenssha do not
care to invest.
The company will be managed en-
tirely by board of directors consist
ing of nine members, and it is under
stood that seven of the directors are
to be residents of Kenosha. The first
meeting of the board of directors is
scheduled to be held in Kenosha on
the first Tuesday of February.
President Burt Of the Wisconsin
company will personally manage the
details for the new company and it is
stated that he will send the best engi-
neers IN the employ of the Bell COM
pany to Kenosha to arrange for
the union of the lines. So far as
possible the equipment of the Citizens
company will be used and it lis prob
able that new instruments will be put
in where the Wisconsin phones are
used. President Burt stated yester-
day that he was willing to admit that
it was impossible to give the best
service with the equipment now in
use in Kenosha, but that with the
union of the two companies the service
would be greatly improved.
It is a remarkable fact that none of
the Citizens company is named in
the articles OF Incorporation, but it
is understood that one of the. di-
rectors from the Citizens company
will be a director in ne new company.
The union of the lines should be COM
p1eted before the first of January.
The new building of the Wisconsin
company on Market street will be the
home Of the new company and the
SIS, 600 of treasury stock will be used
for this purpose.

WE hope that Alderman Stemm
wins his fight to make the Street Rail
way company equip its cars with yes
tibules. First, because the motormen
will be so much more comfortable,
and second, because it is cheering to
see corporation occasionally made
to do what the law requires. If he
succeeds in this we might call on him
to go after those transfers which have
been so long coming.

THE saloons will go on selling liquor
to minors until we get set of officials
in Office who have back bone enough
to revoke the licenses of the dealers
convicted of the offense. Then the
dealers will stop it, and not until
then. We know, of course, that there
is belief in ''officia1 circles that the
so called saloon element is powerful
enough to retire from political life
any man who dares to interfere with
the liquor business in any way, and
that for this reason most Office hold
ers are very chary of opposing them,
but we believe that if it came to a
square olt and out fight on the ques-
ton of selling to minors that the
saloon men would lose ten to one.
The Office holder who comes out in the
open and fights for the enforcement
of the law in this case will be stronger
than ever. The majority of the voters
of Kenosha unquestionably believe
in an "open town" within limits, but
they would never go SO far as to de-
fend this practice of selling to minors,
and the saloon men would never be
able to rally their vote on that issue.
AS matter of fact, the saloon men
themselves would be divided, for
there are good many of them who
never sell to minors and have no sym
pathy with those who do. No man
who does his duty in this case need
fear the result.

A Footbath In Bed.

When an invalid is lying in bed a
footbath may be given under the bed
clothes and often proves soothing and
will even induce sleep when other
remedies prove of no avail. The pa
tent, lying on the back, bends the
knees up, and the feet are then i'm
mersed in the footbath up to the an
kies. To dry them a towel is held
above the footbath, and the feet are
received in its folds while the bath is
withdrawn.
