WAS FROM KENosEA
Former Kenosha Man Gaining Fame
as Assistant Postmaster General

Frank H. Hitchcock, first assistant
postmaster general, spent part of his
boyhood days in Kenosha. He is one
OF the dozen or more young men of the
roosevelt administration whose sug-
gestions usually receive attention at
the White House. The rise of Hitch
cock as al administrative officer of
the government is a vindication of
the merit system. He began his off,
cial career in Washington as clerk
n the agricultural department.. Some
years ago he was taken under the
wing Of George B. Cortelyou and
since then his rise has been rapid
1t IS generally understood that Secre-
tary Cortelyou would like to have Mr..
Hitchcock as one of his assistants in
the department of the treasury.
Probably nobody i'll the country is
more familiar than Mr.. Hitchcock
with the factional troubles of the
various states. He is charged with
responsibility for Strengthening out
the troubles which arise over the
postoffice patronage.
He has remarkable memory for
detail and usually can tell offhand all
the facts relating TO a particular post
Office appointment. Some FIVE or six
weeks ago Mr.. Hitchcock spent con-
siderable time visiting postoffices in
the south. It was charged at.the time
that he went south to line up those
federal Office holders who were not
lnduly enthusiastic in their support
Of the presidents plans for the next
campaign. This was denied at the
time, but it is safe to assume that
when the first assistant postmaster
general returned to Washington he
was entirely familiar with "who's
who and whats what" in political
affairs in the communities which he
visited. Next month Mr.. Hitchcock
will leave for an extended trip of in.
spection of postofices in the west.
He does not expect to visit Wisconsin
on this trip.

Chris Scbwan Submits to Arrest
Rather Than Take Out a
License as Milk PeddIer
cow OWNERS UNDER FIRE
Health Officer spalding Declares That
All Of These People Must Fay
License If They Sell Milk
to Their Friends

a decided sensation has been caused
among the people residing on the north
side of the city by an order sent out
by Health Officer DR.. j. B. Spa1ding,
demanding that all people keeping
cows who offer milk for sale to their
nelghbors must pay the regular city
license as milk peddlers. A test case
of the law has been provided for, as
Chris. Schwan, one of the best known
men on the north side of the city, has
submitted to arrest and has declared
that he will not pay the license fee
under any consideration. Schwan,
who is grocer, has one COW, and it is
admitted that he sells a portion of the
milk from the COW to his neighbors.
Schwan was requested by the health
officer to pay the license several weeks
ago and he paid no attention to the
order. A second order was sent witt
the same result, and after a third 90
der the city attorney was called iago
the case and he swore ont a warrant
for the arrest of Schwan. The hear
ing of the case was taken up before
Justice McCarron and continued, and
in the meantime the north side people
will arrange for their fight. Twenty
five people on the north side own COWS
and nearly all Of them sell surplus
milk to their neighbors. The health
officer has declared that all of these
people are indebted to the city ia the
sum of 81 for each year that they have
been in business, and the fight is TO
collect not only license fee for the
present year, but also for other years.
Schwan is a voluntary sacrifice to the
cause, and in his fight against the
Health Department he is being backed
by all Of the COW owners in the city.
Or. Spalding was seen this morning
and said: This arrest Of Schwan is
not of my initiative, but il was
brought about on account of the re-
peated complaints made by regular
licensed milk dealers ia the city.
These men are indignant that they
should be asked to pay regular IL
cense to the city, while the people on
the north side are allowed to sell milk
without securing such a license.
Some of these people keep several
cows and have a large number of GUS
toners. 1t is only fair to the milk
dealers that these people pay up. It
is also greatly to be desired that the
City Health Department have line
on these dealers in order that proper
examination of milk sold in the city
can be made. The Department is now
installing testing apparatus and it
is the plan to have every dealerin the
city furnish samples of his product
for regular tests in the city laboratory.
The only way that we can keep line
on these dealers is by the issuance Of
licenses.
City Attorney Slater stated that the
law would probably be attacked in the
case and the courts will have chance
to decide on the value of the city or
dinance regulating the issuance of
milk peddlers licenses.

SEEK A DEAD MAN
Relatives of II. schuette Think That He
May Have Died in Kenosha

nay AAsAVS ASASA IN ACIUsHa
County Clerk Jones has received a
letter from Mrs. A. Schuette residing
at 349 North Hermitage Ave, Chi
cago, asking for information in regard
to the death and burial of her hus-
band, Henry Schuette, who died ia
some Wisconsin county early in
March. It is claimed that the remains
of the man were buried by the county
in which he died and the wife and
children did not learn of the death of
Schuette until a few days ago. It is
possible that the missing man was one
of the men buried by the Kenosha
officials some months ago. The case
will be investigated by the officials.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc

Iect.

Elk me up something to knock the
malaria, DOCTOR" remarked a sa1low-
faced, sick1y looking man, entering a
prominent physicians Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake we'll and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent, " replied the
doctor in answer to question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels i'll
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malaria1
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
ma1aria1 germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good eondi-
ton by taking reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

A dose of Prick1y Ash Bitters three or

days have been reserved tor the
present generation.
To those men who spend their
lives in an idolatrous worship of
yellow metal, the grandure OF these
mountains appear only as him
drance to the progress of their
search but those that have minds to
comprehend the wonderful wisdom
of nature can see that the deposit OF
gold is a matter as trivial to the
magnitude of their worth as drop
of dew is insignificant compared to
the volume of the ocean.
When generations to come look
back upon gold as only the monu-
ment of mans folly and we are
classcd with our heather ancestors
who worshippcd sticks and stones,
then these magnificent ranges will
fulfill the object for which they
were destined by nature. To act

a drink as cool as ice and pure as
the sparkling frost.

haustcd, timber will here be cult
