The Pure Food Roll Of Honor

Good housekeeping, well
known household national magazine
voluntarily made a thorough examina-
ton and test of None-Such Mince
Meat, and placed it without reserva-
ton upon its roll of honor.
In the March number of Good
Housekeeping, in-the department of
Pure Food Assurance, we find:
'None-Such. Mince Meat, Merrill
Soule Co., Syracuse, a semi-moist
condensed compound of beef, apples,
spices, sugar, raisins, currants, boiled
cider, and salt, without other preserv-
atives or adulterants, no artificial
co1oring, produced. under conditions
as near to sanitary perfection as pos
sible."
This guarantee, which could not be
bought at any price, ought to satisfy
the most particular housewife. The
sale of one million packages month
seems to prove the statement to be
true. Your grocer sells None-Such.
Try it, and satisfy yourself. You are
the one.

Mrs. H. S. RobIee Receivers the
Use of Her Voice After
Three Years
VOICE RETURNS IN SINGING
Mrs. Rob1ee Has Been Unable to Speak
Above Whisper as a Result of
Cold Taken While on an
Ere nd of Mercy

After being unable to speak above
whisper for more than three years,
Mrs. H. S. Roblee, wife of the former
pastor of the First Congregational
church here, and woman beloved by
many people in Kenosha, suddenly
recovered the use of her vocal chords
at her home in St. Joseph, Mich, on
Thursday afternoon. Since leaving
Kenosha Mrs. Rob1ee had grown
worse instead of better, until her
friends had beer shocked when she
last visited the city at her suffering.
The recovery of her voice came al
most as a miracle to Mrs. Rob1ee. Mr..
Rob1ee had left the city for Chicago,
and Mrs. Rob1ee and the boys were
at home together. Leland, her ten
year-old son, had not been feeling
we'll during the day, and after dinner
he went to his mother and said,
mamma, will you sing me a song"
''I wish I could, Leland, . was the re-
ponse of the mother in faint whis-
per. Something prompted her to go
to the piano, and sitting down she
played the bars Of the song, "The
Healing Power of Jesus, which cad
always been one Of the favorite songs.
of the little boy.
AS she completed the introduction
to the song she made an effort to sing
and her voice returned with all its old
time vigor. The other members of
4ha fl 11y M t,l1 1x,n~o o,,4 -, ~. = *
heard the mother singing and the
boys ran into the house and threw
themselves into their mothers arms
Mrs. Roblee sat at the piano half an
hour overjoyed that her voice had re-
turned. There is splendid surprise
in store for Mr.. Roblee when he re-
turns home this evening.
Three years ago when Mrs. Roblee
was living in Kenosha she caught
cold while venturing out in blizzard
on an errand of mercy and an attack
OF throat trouble which followed left
her without the use of her voice.
Although medical aid was invoked
and Mrs. Roblee took treatment for
months she was not benefited and it
appeared that the vocal chords were
practically paralyzed.
Before the accident Mrs. Roblee
had possessed clear soprano voice
and had been a great aid to her hus-
band in his church work. kilograms
from St. Joe state that her voice is
even clearer than it was before the
trouble first appeared.
The many friends of Mrs. Roblee
Kenosha will rejoice with her in her
recovery.

BEEF rs CHEAPER
Price is Less at Chicago stockyards at
This Season of the Year

Price is Less at Chicago Stockyards at
This Season of the Year
It IS about the timeof the year when
housekeepers may begin to look for
reduction in the size of their meat
bills. Within the past fortnight the
highest prices of the year were
reached at the Chicago stockyards.
This IS always to be expected at about
this time, as it is the season for the
closing out Of the old corn-fed native
cattle and just before the grass-fed
cattle of the western ranches begin
to flood the market.
The corn-fed cattle naturally cost
NOR to us on the market, and the
men who raise them are obliged TO
get a good price in order to come out
even. The CRASHED stock, on the
other hand, cost less to raise, but it
IS usually about July Is before they
are fit for the market. While the lat
ter do not furnish as fine beef as the
corn-fed stock, it is nevertheless good
juicy meat, and can be sold consider
ably lower than that which has been
built up on heavy rations Of corn.
Butchers are, of course, aware of
this annual slump in the market
prices for cattle, but those with an
established trade always rather dread
its coming. During sthe spring and
early summer they are obliged to pay
high prices for their beeves, and con-
lsequently are forced to maintain the
prices charged their customers. But
as the time approaches when grass
fed stock may be expected on the
market there is usually an attempt
made by some of the craft to gain a
little cheap glory at the expense of
their competitors by an announcement
of cut in prices.

Mayor and Chief Of Police Seek
to Have Cells Built in the
Old City Hall
WOULD PROVE SAVING TO CITY
With Such Basti1e all City Prisoners
Could be Cared for With a Mini
mum of Expense Dungeon
for the Tramps

Plans are being laid for the opening
Of a lookup for the city of Kenosha,
and if the plans are carried out the
lookup will be opened in the Central
fire station within short time. The
matter has been laid before the mayor
and the chief Of police and both Of
these officials are in favor of the plan.
The lookup could be built with a very
small expense to the city as there are
several rooms in the old city hall
which are not used at the present
time, and it would be an easy matter
to convert these rooms into cells fol
the use of city prisoners.
At the present time all of the prison
ers are taken to the county jail, and
the plan is not only an expensive one
for the city but it is decidedly bother
some to the county officers. Every
night the police officers are called
upon to take in a number Of tramps
and hobos and it is necessary to place
these men in the county jail. They
have no money with which to pay
fines and for this reason they are
turned out in the morning. In nearly
every case, however, the city is forced
to stand the expense Of keeping them
over night.
With couple of Cells in the old city
hall these men could be easily taken
care of and they could be turned in
and out without expense to the city
Mayor German is in favor of building
a dungeon for tramps in the old build.
ing, and he insists that after the
tramps have spent night in the Ke.
nosha dungeon they will forever fight
shy of the city.
Under the present charter the city
has the power to establish municipal
court for the hearing of cases where
arrests are made for violation Of city
ordinances. Such plan would re-
suit in quite sum of money being
paid into the city treasury during the
year.
It is probable that the lookup plan
will be laid before the council at it's
next meeting, and it is thought that it
will appeal favorably to the members
of that body.

MILK FOUND PURE
Chicago Health Department Gives
Kenosha Milk a Clean Bill
After Rigid Inspection
SAME MILK BEING SOLD HERE

The Chicago health department has
issued its annual report of milk ship
ped into Chicago and the report pays
a high tribute to the milk shipped
into the metropolis by the farmers of
Kenosha county. The inspection is
of most rigid nature and samples
were secured from every farmer who
shipped milk into Chicago.
The report shows that the milk re-
ceived from the north shore has been
of an exceptionally high grade during
the past six months, and only seven
of the thousands Of samples secured
from this district we're not passed by
the inspectors. The full report of
the investigation into the milk supply
has not as yet been issued, but it will
be of great interest to the people in
this section of the state. The milk
sold in this city is identical with that
shipped into Chicago, as many Of the
farmers who sell milk to the big
wholesalers in Chicago sell part of
their product to the dealers who are in
turn delivering it to the Kenosha
patrons.
Health Officer Spa1ding has been
watching with great deal of interest
for this report as it will give him
line on the milk sold in Kenosha.
Some time ago samples were taken
from the wagons of milk men doing
business in this city, but the result of
the examination of this milk has not
as yet been given to the public. It
was admitted that some of the milk
showed traces of having been watered,
but none of it fell below the standard
of butter fat fixed by the Wisconsin
laws.
The report of the Chicago depart
ment will show that a large amount Of
impure milk is being shipped into
that city, but most of it cores from
dairies in Indiana and northern Ill
inois.

Final Plans Being Made to Re
move Telephone Exchange Into
New Building on Market st
ALL PHONES TO BE CHANGED

The new home of thegKenosha Tele-
phone company is practically COM
pleted and plans are now being laid to
move the exchange from the Benedict
& Tarbell building to the new bnildl-
ing either on July % or Aug. 4. All
arrangements for the removal have
been completed and it is expected
that the move will be made without
any interruption Of the service. a
special force of men came down from
Milwaukee Thursday to put the final
touches on the new switch board and
to connect the cables with it. 1t is
thought that it will take about week
to complete these connections.
The workmen Of the company are
now busy renovating phones and
getting them in shape for the new
system. After the move to the new
building is made all phones in the
city will be of the automatic type and
the bells will be done away with. The
company has now on hand more than
thousand new phones and the re-
manning instruments needed will be
selected from those formerly used on
the single lines of the Citizens COM
pany.
President James Cavanagh has an
nounced that with the removal to the
new building the company will make
every possible effort to improve the
service. 1t is stated that the switch
board placed in the new Kenosha
building is the best and most modern
IN the state of Wisconsin, and all
work done in nection with the new
system has been of the highest class.
The company has expended large
amount of money in putting in this
new system.
At the time the companies COM
bined their forces $4,000 was set aside
for the rebuilding and connection OF
| the systems, and it is stated authori-
tative1y that more than double this
amount has been spent. It is probable
that one of the first acts of the com
pany after the change is made will
be to increase the rates. The increase
will not be large, and it is claimed
that even with the increase the ser.
vice will be furnished to Kenosha
people chaper than in any other city
of the size in the state.
Manager Frantz stated that several
months would be required before the
company could install new phones fol-
all the patrons but that this work
would be done as rapidly as possible,
A large force of men is now at work
on the phones and it is expected that
most of them will be ready when the
change to the new building is made.
In the meantime the company is
/ planning to build several new lines il
the western part of the county for the
extension of the rural lines, and
when these lines are completed Keno
sha will be in close touch with every
part of the county.

COMPLETES HIS WORK
H. E. Policy Gathers Valuable aStatis-
tics for State Tax Commission

tics for State Tax Commission
H. r. Policy, Of Madison, who has
been working in the interests of the
State Tax Commission in Kenosha for
the past ten days, completed his work
this morning and left for Milwaukee
county to continue the work there.
Mr.. Policy has secured some very in
teresting figures in regard to the
value of property in the county, and
it is thought that these values will
help materially in reducing the
amount of the assessment of the
county for state taxes. The figures
taken by Mr.. Policy will also be of
great value to the state commission
should there be demand for a re-as-
sessment from the taxpayers of this
county.
No further steps have been taken to
have the assessment as returned re-
viewed by the state body. as it is un-
derstood that the interested parties
are waiting for the assessors to COM
plete the work Of va1uing the prop
erty of some of the Kenosha indus
trial plants.

WANT THEIR RIGHTS
Farmers Seek Legal Rights in
Regard to Use Of Roads by
Automobiles of State
CLAIM LAWS ARE VIOLATED

One Of the leading farmers of this
county has written letter to an attor.
ney of Kenosha. He asks for infor-
nation in regard to the law regulating
the use of automobiles and other mo-
tor vehicles, claiming that the rights
OF grangers are practically dead, that
one-half of the farmers dare not &C
out with their families for ride or
Sunday, fearing runaway, being
/ crowded into bitches, and in fact run
ming every chance of being manned
or killed.
| This ti1ler of the soil admits that
| the automobile owner has rights as
we'll as the farmer, but that the ma.
Jority of them do not in any respect
obey the law, except to place mum
bers on their machines, horns and
lights, and that is all.
The law provides that no automo.
bile or other similar vehicle shall be
Ioperated, ridden or driven upon any
of the public highways of the state
unless the same shall have been reg
istered in accordance with the pro-
visions of the act.
For this registration and number
the sum of ST. is paid, and the number
is to be hung or placed on the rear Of
the automobile.
Then the law provides that no auto
mobile shall be run upon the high
ways of a city faster than twelve
miles an hour, and in the country, or
outside the city limits, not to exceed
twenty-five miles an hour.
Again, every person operating an
automobile or similar motor vehicle
upon or along any Of the public high
ways of the state, shall upon signal
by putting up the hand, or other sign
OF distress, by person riding or
driving horse or horses, which shall
appear frightened, cause automobil
or other similar vehicles to stop al
motor power and remain stationary,
unless a movement forward shall be
deemed necessary to avoid accident or
injury, until such horse or horses ap-
pear to be under control; and shall, If
requested, assist such person or per-
sons to pass such automobile or other
vehicle II safety.
The law also provides that every
owner and operator Of an automobile
shall have equal rights upon all pub
lie highways Of the state, with all
other users of such highways, and no
person shall unreasonab1y obstruct or
impede the right of travel of such OPP
orator or owner of said automobile.
From and after sunset all automo-
biles shall carry light and shall be
provided with bell or horn or other
signal device.
The penalty for exceeding the speed
limit is from soto SIS, and violation
of the other provisions from $40 to $50
Nothing in the law relieves the owner
Of automobiles from liability for dam
ages.
