Says Many Persons Here Can Be
Made Happy Again by Using
this Home Made Mixture

There is SO much Rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the follow
ing advice by an eminent authoity, who
writes for readers of a large Eastern
daily paper, will be highly appreciated
by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
we'll in a bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bedtime;
also drink plenty Of good water.
1t is claimed that very few victims of
this dread and torturous disease who
will fail to find ready relief in this sim
pie homemade mixture, and in most
cases permanent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism, but numer-
GUS other diseases. Every man or wo-
man here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who suf-
fers from any urinary trouble whatever
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
4 the prescription ready to take if oul
readers ask them.

Mark Twaln's Story OF His Life.

Mark Twain refuses to let his capti-
waiting autobiography be published in
book form until after his death, but
journalistic enterprise has come to the
rescue, and we are to have Marks
masterpiece after all. He has consented
to let it appear as serial. 1t has been
secured at enormous cost by the Sun
day Magazine of The Chicago Record
Herald, which has name for capturing
big prizes of this sort, such as Conan
Doyles "sir Nigel and Kipling's "sons
of Martha
Thus it falls out that the readers Of
The Sunday Record-H Herald are to have
a delightful treat without extra cost.
For months to come Mark Twain will
60 on telling in his droll way about the
famous people he has met, how he came
to create Colonel Sellers and Tom Saw
yer, and all the funny things that have
happened to him. The whole is to be
profusely illustrated. The first INSTALL
ment-in the issue of October 27-is
accompanied by a magnificent portrait
of the humorist. Everybody who likes
Mark Twain will want to read this
great biography.

HOLD OPEN MEETING
Kenosha Woman's Club Listens
to Splendid Paper by the
Rev. Florence Buck
TELLS OF SOCIAL SATIRISTS

The Kenosha Woman's Club held its
closing literary meeting of the season
on Wednesday afternoon, and follow
ing the custom of the club it was an
open meeting and the club rooms
were filled to their capacity with the
members and their friends.
The feature Of the afternoon was a
paper by the Rev. Florence Buck on
the subject, tour Social Satirists,
and it proved to be one of the best
papers ever read before the club.
Miss Buck had made wide study of
the literature of satire and she spoke
as one having authority. After re-
viewing in a pleasing manner the
origin of the satire as a social
weapon, Miss Buck took up the con-
sideration of the social satirists of the
present day and she confined her re-
marks to discussion of the writings
of Edith Wharton, Henry James and
Bernard Shaw. In the three she
found the greatest writings lampoon-
ing the present social system. She
spoke in a charming manner of the
writings of the three.
Mrs. Wharton, she held, was often
weak in her reasoning, James was
artistic but not overly interesting,
while Bernard Shaw, while forcible
and keeping close to the nature of
society, was without sympathy. She
spoke of the motives that had pre-
vailed with the three writer's in their
attacks on society and insisted that in
most cases they had sought to bring
these matters pungently before the
people. She criticized without gloves
the works of each of her subjects
and in. her consideration of the fam
Gus characters of story and play
she showed no mercy in pointing out
the good and striking with an unfail-
ing lance of criticism the bad.
Following the paper by Miss Buck
some of the writings of the three
authors were read, this bringing an
other interesting feature to the enter
tainment for the afternoon. After
the discussion there was the usual
social hour.
The annual meeting of the club for
the election of officers and the APP
pointment of committees to have
charge of the work for the new year
will be held on next Wednesday after
noon,

BUILD MODEL STORE
Scholer & Funck Start Work Of
Remodeling Famous Old Main
Street Store Building
SANITARY FIXTURES

Scho1er & Funck, the well known
Main street grocers, Wednesday be-
gan the work of rebuilding the famous
old grocery building at the corner of
Main and Park streets, and it is stated
that when the work of remodeling is
completed the store will be one of the
finest on the lake shore between Chi
cago and Milwaukee. The room for
merly occupied by the H. L. Molitor
Company is to be made a portion Of
the grocery store building, and when
the repairs are completed the room
used for store purposes will be forty
by eighty feet. The old front will be
torn down and in place of it modern
glass and iron front will be put in.
The proposed changes in the building
will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The upper portion of the
building is to be included in the work
of remodeling and this will be used
for office rooms. The work of repair
ing, it is expected, will be completed
by the first of September.
While great deal Of work is to be
done on the outside of the store build
ing, much will be done in improving
the interior. The entire interior of
the building will be redecorated and
the portion used for the grocery store
will be refurnished throughout. The
firm has let contract for the build
ing of complete set of sanitary fix
lures to be used in the store and all of
the old fixtures will be eliminated.
The new fixtures will be of the
latest model and built in such way as
to insure absolute sanitation in con-
nection with all products offered for
sale. The great bias to be used for
the reception of the different products
will all be of metal. The great en-
largement of the store building will
make it possible to arrange the goods
in very attractive manner.
The store has been used as a gro
Gerry store for more than thirty-five
years, it being first opened by Lentz
& Funck. The business is now COM
plete1y under the direction Of the new
firm of Scholer & Funck but it is being
carried on with the same policy out
lined by the founders of the firm.

LIVING COST IS HIGH
The Wholesale Prices Of Neces
sary Living Commodities
Continue to Advance
FIGURES SHOW AN UPTURN

The bureau of labor at Washington
has taken another look into the cost
of living and finds it is still increas-
ing. The latest examination had to do
with wholesale prices only. It is now
making study of retail prices. The
bulletin just issued shows that whole
sale prices, considering 258 commodi-
ties as a whole, reached higher level
in 1906 than at any other time during
the severteen-year period covered.
The average for the year 1906 was SO
per cent higher than for 1905, 36.5 per
cent higher than for 1897, the year of
the lowest prices during the seven
teen-year period, and 22.4 per cent
higher than the average for the ten
years from 1890 to 1899.
Prices, reached their highest point
during the seventeen-year period in
December, 1906, the average for that
month being Al per cent higher than
the average for 1906, and 6.3 per cent
higher than the average for Decem-
Der, 1905.

products, taken as a whole, differs
but little from that of 1905, a decrease
of only one-half of one per cent being
shown. Food as a whole increased
SO per cent in average price for 1906,
as compared with 1905. The principal
articles showing an increase were
cheese, fish, fruit, hog products, milk,
rice and vegetables. No change took
place in the price of bread, A slight
decrease in the wholesale cost of cof-
fee, eggs, wheat, flour, corn meal,
beef, sugar and tea is shown.
Of the seventy-five articles included
under clothes and clothing, sixty-six
showed an increase in price, FIVE
showed no change, and only four
| showed a decrease. In the group, as
q whole, there was an average in
crease of 7.3 per cent in price. In
fuel and lighting, as a group, there
was an increase in price of per cent.

Bidding For Immigrants.


Although the plan Of assisting immi-
grafton recently adopted by South Car
DINA has met with criticism and even
Official opposition, some system Of that
kind may be found advisable for the
whole country if we want immigrants
worth having. Other countries are
competing, and they are not particular
as to methods
Last year the emigration from the
British islands to Canada was about
40 per cent more than in the previous
year The Australian colonies got a 25
per cent increase in 1906, but the Unit
ed States received only 20 per cent
more than in 1905. Canada and Aus
tralia are urgent in seeking immi-
grants. The South American republics,
notably Brazil and Chile, are spending
government money literally to stimu-
late immigration and are working in
Hungary and in Italy through govern
nlenl agents. AL VI THESE countIleo

there is no disputing the fact that
with government encouragement and

The Building Boom.

1t appears that building activities are
not confined. to this country. Last year
the importations of building wood into
the British islands increased 20 per
cent over those of 1905. 1t is some
times argued that when prices get too
high here foreign competition will step
in and pull them down Canada,
Sweden and Russia pro6ted by the in
creased demand for building material
In the United Kingdom in 1906.
TIE boom of building is not mere
spasln. Prosperity everywhere fur
nishes the means, and new conditions
furnish the incentive Healthier and
brighter dwellings and working places
are demanded. Mans knowledge is
ever improving, and his environment
must improve in order to keep pace
with the march of ideas. 1t is hope
full sign that people are not only build
ing new structures, but insist upon
having them better and stronger than
heretofore.

PREPARE FOR FLAG DAY
Friday, June l 4, has Been Set Aside as
Annual Day for Honoring Old Glory

Friday, June l 4, has Been Set Aside as
Annual Day for Honoring Old Glory
Grand Army officials in all parts of
the country are receiving the annual
ADDRESS in regard to Flag Day, which
is to be celebrated on June Il. The
address is in part as follows.
Friday, June IA, will be the one
hundred and thirtieth anniversary of
the birth of the dag of the United
States. The flag was designed for a
nation Of thirteen colonies, stretched
like belt along the Atlantic coast,
made up of less than three millions of
people without common traditions or
lang uages, drawn together only by
common danger from savages within
and oppression from without, which
threatened their existence and liber-
ties. That flag now waves over a
great nation, extending from the Gulf
of Mexico to the lakes, from the At
lantic to beyond the Pacific sea, and
inhabited by nearly ninety millions of
people, who speak common lam
guage."
Thus Friday, June ID, will be Flag
Day.
