In the case of adults who voluntar-

physician, the law, in trying to re-
press what many consider an expert
ment in treatment Of diseases and

the question of individual rights, but
in the case of children no such
chances should be allowed to be taken
for them, as they are helpless in the

NO SINGLE public Improvement that
could be made will add more to the
general appearance of the city or aid
more in giving visitors a favorable
impression of Kenosha than the paw
ing of West Main street, and Mayor
German deserves considerable credit
for thessuccess of his efforts to induce
the railway company to stand its
share of the expense of this work.
In as much as the railway company
asks in return nothing but the pas
sage of an ordinance which will per.
NIT it's tracks along the, side of the
street to remain at their present
grade, it is expected the Council will
ratify the bargain made BY the Mayor
with the railway company as soon as
possible. The favor asked by the
railroad in return for the expenditure
of approximately $50, 900 in this city,
practically amounts to nothing, as
the city could not force the railway to
change its grade without recourse to
the courts, and it is extremely doubt
full if the city could sustain such an
action if one was commences. There
is no way the railway could be forced
to pay its share Of the paving, and the
company is practically making the
city a present of this money.

THE superintendent of farmers in
stitutes at Madison is now ready to
receive applications for institutes to
be held during the winter 1907-1908
and some of the public spirited farm
ers of this county should come for
ward and take the lead in securing
two or three of the institutes. Any
locality that has good hall where a
meeting can be held can secure an
institute and in these days when
science is doing SO much for the farm
er it would be mistake for farmers
of this county not to take advantage
of the splendid opportunities for in
struction offered by the state. The
farmers Institutes and schools of
agriculture promise to make radical
changes IN farming methods in the
next few years and Kenosha county
farmers cannot lose anything by
keeping abreast of the times.
