where the cycle had been found. He
declared that he had found clue to
the motor and that he went south
from Kenosha and tramped through
the woods all night in his efforts to
find the machine. II the pockets Of
Wilson were found a pair of cheap
nippers, such as are used by detec-
tives in cities, and the officials of
Lake county declare that these nip
pers we're used to deface the name of
the machine stolen. Some of the Of
ficials in Waukegan seem to be of the
opinion that Wilson did not steal the
wheel himself, but that he knew the
man that did steal it, and that for this
reason he should be held as an Access
sorry to the crime. Others believe
that Wilson has told the truth in re-
gard to the matter and that he knows
nothing of the real thief. These men
declare that the desire of the Kenosha
man to shine as detective led him to
take the wheel all the way to Keno
sha in order that he might have the
honor of recovering it. Wilson's
friends in Kenosha declare that they
know that he is all right and they are
proving loyal to him.

Tender Feet.

Girls who serve in shops and others
whose occupation keeps them on their
feet great deal often are troubled
with chafed, sore and blistered feet, no
matter how comfortably their shoes
may fit A powder used in the German
army for sitting into the shoes and
stockings Of foot soldiers is called
"fusstreupulver" and consists Of three
parts Of salicylic acid, ten parts Of
starch and eighty-seven parts Of pull
verified soapstone. Any chemist will
make it up for small sum. 1t keeps
the feet dry, prevents chatting and rap
idly heals sore spots. Finely pulverized
soapstone only is very good. When the
feet merely ache very useful remedy
may be found in the following: Take a
teaspoonful Of ordinary washing soda,
dissolve it in half a gallon of warm wa
ter and battle the feet in it for about
half an hour. Repeat this from time to
time. A hot water bath is also highly
excellent for tired feet. - American

LOVE AND LAUGHTER.

These Are the Things That Make
Home HeaIthfuI and Happy.
Love and laughter! Have they not
been coupled since the world began?
The heart beats faster, the blood
courses merrily through the veins, the
world shows fairer, the beloved one
shows fairest of all, and, catching
hint of the infinite joyousness Of things
the ultimate happiness of a one day
to be perfected creation-the lover
laughs.
The woman who can make her lover
laugh is clever, but the wife who can
keep her husband laughing is one Of
the seven wonders of the world.
Depressions, Ill health, worries, quar-
rels--all these cease to be when one can
laugh. Learn to charm the heaviness
from your husbands brow, the moOdi-
ness from his mien, and you will reign
in his heart for all time. Does it seem
little thing to provoke laughter, a
think hardly within the scope of the
dignity Of a wife? That is where SO

STATE NOT READY TO TRY CASE

w. j. Wilson, the Kenosha man,
who was arrested at Waukegan on
Thursday afternoon on charge of
stealing a motorcycle, is still in jail
at Waukegan. He had a preliminary
hearing before Justice Weiss there on
Friday afternoon, but the state was
not ready to present its case and a
continuance was taken.
Wilson is undoubtedly queer fell
low and he admitted to the officials at
Waukegan that he was laboring
under the impression that he was a
private detective. To prove this he
produced a paper from his pocket
which showed that he had paid So to a
company in Iowa, which supplied him
with paper, and which also agreed
to make him private detective.
Wilson still sticks to his story that
he found the motorcycle in the woods
near Warkegan, and Friday he went
with the sheriff of Lake county to the
woods and explained to him just

AFTERNOON CALLS.
A Few FONTS That 1t Would BE Wen
to Bear In Mind.

An afternoon call must be a short
and yet not hurried one Don't en-
ter the house saying that you have not
minute and don't leave it declaring
that you must hurry on to another
friend or you give an idea that your
visit has been paid grudgingly.
Don't monopolize the conversation
Your hostess likes to retell her own
news, to air her own grievances, to dis
cuss mutual friends, from her own
point of view. You may be the most
amusing person present, but your very
brilliancy gives others the desire to
shine also, and courtesy demands that
you should give them their opportunity,
says an exchange
Above all, don't talk of yourself. "T'
is letter Of the alphabet to be omitted
as much as possible Who does not
know the bore who tells you of his
health, his family, his plans, till you
sigh of unutterable relief when he at
length takes his departure?
There is a military offense called
forcing the sentry Don't force
your friends butler or maid when you
are told, mot at home" Don't say,
"Oh, am sure she is at home to me!'
The unfortunate hostess may be indis-
posed, busy, worried or have important
letters to write; SO respect her orders
TO her sentry and content yourself with
leaving your card.
Don't utter in an audible aside to
your companion, THANK heaven, they
are outy' A whisper is fraught with
danger and may possibly be retailed
from one person to another until it
reaches the mistress Of the house.

KITCHEN HELPS.

When fitting up kitchen, remember
that paper mache pals and bowls are
light and durable.
When one must cook for small fam
lily great deal of labor is saved by
having few small cooking Utensils.
Shelves in a kitchen are catch-alls,
but swinging shelves have the advan-
tage Of being convenient and tidy.
Two or three swinging shelves are a
great luxury.
One of the quickest and easiest ways
to clean greasy pan is to turn the
grease out and wipe the pan, while hot,
with soft paper. Burn the papers and
wash the pan with soap and water

TAKES IN YEoMEN
Benevolent Society With Large
Membership Here AmaIgamat-
ed With American Guild.
GET POLICIES IN VIRGINIA CO.

Two hundred and fifty members Of
the Yeomen of America in Kenosha
have received letters from Richmond,
Va, stating that the order has been
ama1gamated with an order at Rich
mond, Va, known as the "The
American Guild The insurance
policies which had been carried in the
Yeomen of America have ali been
transferred to the American Guild
and new policies have been sent out.
In the letters accompanying the new
policies sent to the members in Keno
sha it is stated that the two societies
have been ama1gamated for the pur-
pose of saving costs of operation and
two of the leading officers of the Yeo-
men have been retained. One depart
ment Of the American Guild for the
present will be known as .The Yeo-
men Department.. . It is clearly
shown in the circular that in the near
future all members of the Yeomen
are to become members of the Ameri-
can Guild. For the present it is
stated that the ritualistic work of the
Yeomen will be continued pending
reorganization of the ama1gamated
societies.
The American Guild was in
corporated eight years before the
Yeomen of America and seems to
have been strong order in the South
and East. The report of the in
surance department of Wisconsin on
the condition of the order is not ex-
act1y clear as it was made in 1902.
The report of the society from it's
home seat made this year is a good
one.
Few of the members of the Yeomen
of America in Kenosha knew of the
change but it is thought that most of
them will continue under the ama1ga-
nation. No change in rates has been
announced bnt it is possible that such
changes as may be demanded by the
amalgamation will come later on.

INVITES THE HAND OF TIME
The Worrying Woman Helps to
Write Wrinkles ON Her Face.


A woman who never worries de-
clares that there is nothing more detri-
mental to beauty in woman than
worry. The worrying woman does no
body any good She simply invites the
hand of Time, which writes plenty of
wrinkles on her brow, around her eyes
and mouth, paints her face a yellow
and give lack luster eye that no
artifice can brighten.
It is quite unnecessary to worry,
and it is total waste of energy which
could be better employed in doing
something useful. The man who wrote
lit must have been MANI 'it is not
work, but worry, that kills. knew
something. He had wife or a sister
or a cousin or an aunt who worried
him by the hour and so killed him by
inches That is the worst of a worry
ing woman. She not only worries, but
she worries you.
You know worrying woman the
moment you see her. Her character is
written in her face in wrinkles which
you would think nothing short of q
miracle would obliterate.
Downright ugliness is heavy price
to have to pay for the possession Of a
bad habit, but there it is And not
only does worry directly influence the
complexion for evil; it's more remote
effects are no less potent In robbing
the face of the peach bloom tints which
are the admiration of the poet, the
painter and the general public. Worry
affects the entire nervous system and
through it the liver and organs Of di-
gestion and the heart. The things a
woman thinks have more than any
thing else the power to make or mar
her beauty, so let her beware Of wOr-
rying over much lest she lose the
greatest Of all the gifts.

Take n Rest nj Noon.

Get into the practice of taking a rest
at noon. Lie down if only for ten min
utes, or five minutes. If you cannot lie
down lean back in a chair and close
your eyes. Just forget everything.
Rest; relax. Even if you do not sleep,
rest. This practice will make you live
longer. 1t will make you healthier
while you do live It will probably
make people want you to live longer
It will take the tangle out Of your
nerves, the irritability out Of your
temper, the wrinkles out of your face
1t will make your eyes brighter, your
face fuller. Try it.-Medical Talk.
