Kenosha Public Building Appro.
priation Passed by the Senate
Now in Presidents Hands
MANY SITES ARE SUGGESTED
Appropriation Will Not Be Available
for Several Months and Several
Years Will Be Required to
Get Building Finished

Kenosha's public building now
seems assured, as the omnibus bill
carrying an appropriation for $4,000
for Keposha has passed the senate of
the United States and it isssnow in the
hands of the president. The bill will
proba bly, be signed today andEwi1l be-
come law 81 once. The money for
the erection of the building,.in Keno
sha will be available after the first of
next December and it is probable that
the government agents will at once
take steps to get the building started.
The first step will be to secure a
site for the building. 1t is thought
that the government will appropriate
about $4,000 for the purchase Of the
site and the remainder ofsathe APP
preparation will be used for the build
ing. This matter will be entirely in
the hands of the agents of the govern
ment, but local officials will be al
lowed to give advice as to the location
of the building.
The plans, for the Kenosha build
ing will be made at once and if the
work proceeds in favorab1eEway the
bnilding should be Completed within
the next three years. The United
States government never does any,
thing in hurry and it is proba BILE
that the present postoffice location
will be needed until the end of the
lease taken several months ago
Several sites are being suggested
for the proposed building. Among
The number is the Wulff property at
the corner of Wisconsin and Church
streets. This property is centrally
located The VanIngen property on
Park avenue is another site suggested.
If the city is growing toward the
south this would be a splendid loca-
ton for the future. The old Stah1
barn on Park street has been sug-
gested, as has the lot at the corner Of
Market and Chicago streets now
owned by z. G. Simmons, and pur-
chased by him with the view of erect
ing building to be used as a post
office.
Another piece of property that is
favorably considered is the Wills
property at the corner of Market and
Exchange streets. No prices have
been secured for any Of this property,
but it is thought that any one of the
pieces could be secured for SIS, 900.
1t is hoped that the people of the city
will not raise the value of all real
estate on account of the fact that the
government is in the field for site
for all money expended for the site
WILDE taken from the. building fund
Postmaster Maloney has not as yet
been formally notified of the making
of the appropriation nor of the plans
of the government, but he will prob
ably aid the government agents in
securing the site for the building
The work will probably be started in
1907.

Five Points.

Pile together as many sheets Of note
paper as there are boys or girls to
play. Scatter on the upper one at
random five grains of rice. Prick with
a pin without disturbing the rice five
holes through. the spots where the rice
has fallen. You will then have a num-
Der Of sheets of paper each containing
five pin holes arranged in the same
order. The game consists in each per-
son drawing a figure which shall come
within the points, using one for the
head, two for the hands and two for
the feet. A great variety Of amusing
figures and attitudes will be the result.

HAIL-6ToNES.

How They Are Formed and Why
They Fall In Warm Weather.
A good many boys and girls wonder
why it is that we have hail storms In
sumner or in warm weather instead Of
in the icy winter. AS a matter of fact,
it is the warm weather that produces
them. Hail is formed by the meeting
Of two currents Of air, one warm and
saturated with vapor and the other
very cold. The cold air condenses the
vapor into water and then freezes the
water into ice particles. The Ice par
ticles as they fall toward the earth
strike and adhere to each other, thus
forming the stones that reach the
ground. As it is only in summer that
warm, vapor laden strata Of air over
hang the earth. it is only at that season
that the conditions exist for the forma-
ton Of hail.
The most violent hailstorms occur In
the tropics, where the stones are often
as large as oranges and sometimes
much larger than that. The hail that
falls in winter is very different from
that Of summer both in form and in
origin. 1t is always small and is pro-
duced by the freezing of raindrops as
they pass through a colder stratum Of
air than that in which they started

The principle of the diving bell is
simple. An inverted jar sunk in the
water retains air at its top, and II
there Is enough air men may live and
breathe and work there and keep dry.
DIR. Halley's diving bell was a large
wooden chamber open at the bottom
and loaded there with lead to prevent

HEROIC TREATMENT.
The Remedies That Are Used by the
Doctors Of China.

ne hcncuteS nat are OSOu pD WV
Doctors Of China.
Chinese doctors seem to delight
| in heroic measures.
In several diseases. notably rheu-
Imatism. neuralgia, gout, ulcers, car
bunclcs and diarrheal complaints,
they are very successful. The meth
rd in treating these troubles seems
to i've liberal use of hot teas and
broths and REIMBURSEMENT of all
other foods. In most of the foods
there is the simple tonic, ginseng.
In others there are aperients which
arc apparently impure EPSON salts.
One broth contained peppermint
leaves, chopped almonds, bay leaves,
honey, blood and wine.
The idea seems to be to drench
the entire system with hot water,
washing out the body in that way,
and relying upon the elements add
ed to the water for medicinal action
as we'll as nourishment.
Their treatment of most forms of
dyspepsia is truly heroic. The pa
tient is laid at full length and the
doctor with his muscular hands
pinches the body. The pinching is
done with the thumb and forefngcr.
The method, though cruel, has ex-
ccllent results. and there is imme-
date relief and a speedy cure.
For catarraha troubles they use
warm solutions of astringents, rem
dered aseptic by peppermint and
similar oil, and where there is pain,
as in nasal catarrh, they use oil, in
which is put tincture of opium.
For some forms Of dyspepsia they
burn paper The paper burned is a
thick yellow tissue, which when
burned leaves a fluffy black ash,
which is probably one-half carbon
and the rest silica and mineral salts.
Occasionally they write talismanie
characters with colored pencils on
the paper. Different pencils are
used, and each is made of a differ
ent substance, which when burned
exercises a chemical or medicinal
influence.
When it is burned and diffused in
