A WoRRIsoME WEED.

The common name is chickweed.
The botanical name is Alsine media
In Briton, and Browns Illustrated
Flora; bat in Grays Manual 1t is
Stellaria media. 1t is a pernicious
weed, but so, often neglected and omit
ted from lists of troublesome weeds,
probably because of its small size and
inability to prove very destructive to
larger cultivated plants. 1t is an an
nual plant, and in theory annual plants
can be exterminated in one season
by preventing them from producing a
crop Of seeds by which to perpetuate
themselves.
In the case Of this plant, however,
the theory is not easily applied, says

LOSE TWENTY CALLS A DAY
More Than 1000 Calls Handled By
Operators on an Average Day
and Business is Increas-
ing Every Month

The Kenosha Home Telephone com
is making extensive plans for changes
in it's lines during the next year and
this has been made necessary by the
great growth Of the business in Keno
sha during the past few months. Few
people know of the magnitude of the
business handled by the Kenosha
Hello Girls. !"
A recent visit to the office shows that
the total number Of messages handled
daily at the Kenosha exchange is 1858.
The statistics in regard to the day
messages are taken on the tenth of
each month and each of the messages
traced to the operating position hand
ling it. On the tenth of last month
one operating position handled a total
of 1856 messages in the twenty-four
handled during the month of Novem-
Der was nearly 100000. The toll bust
ness in and out of Kenosha has been
advancing at very rapid rate and
during the month Of November the
total number Of toll messages was
1929. About three-ffths of these mes,
sages were with the Chicago exchange.
On the 10th of the month there were
1873 in-tickets and 156 out-tickets and
of this large number of messages but %
were lost. These were lost on account
of the fact that one of the parties
called could not be located.
The operators at the Kenosha ex-
change are expected to work eight
hours daily, but in some cases the bust
ness has been so heavy that the young
women have been called upon to work
for ten hours.
The busiest portion of the telephone
day is between eight and eleven
o'clock in the morning. On the day
on which the statistics were made 1902
messages were handled between and
9; 1901 between and 10; and 1865
between 10 and IL. On the same day
937 messages were handled between
and 5 O'Clock in the afternoon. The

Medical Society at Annual SEES
sion Again Offers Services to
Board of Education
70 KEEP UP FIGHT ON QUACKS
DR.. George F. Adams of the Pennoyer
Sanitarium Named as President
of the Society for the
Coming Year.

The Kenosha County Medical Society
is to continue during the coming year
the plan started last year for securing
better hygenic conditions in the schools
Of the city and at the annual meeting
Of the society held at the office Of DR.
II. J. Stalker Thursday evening a
special committee composed of Doctors
G. H. Ripley and A. Van Westreinen
was named to have charge Of the work.
This committee will confer with the
committee named by the Board of Ed
ucation throughout the year and it is
thought that great deal will be ac-
complished in this manner. During
the past year the members of the
Board Of Education have accepted the
suggestions Of the society and have met
the doctors half way in all changes
suggested by them. AS a result many
changes have been made in the schools
OIL the city and the hygenic conditions
under which the young people study
have been improved In many cities
a regular inspector is employed to look
after the work, but the members of
the Medical Society have agreed to
take up the matter with the Board
without pay ard they should render
better service than even a paid in
spector.
The members Of the society spent
considerable time at the meeting last
night discussing the crusade that is
being made throughout the state to rid
Wiconsin of quack doctors and con
tribution Of thirty dollars was made
to the fund to continue this fight.
There has not been a great deal of this
work done in Kenosha as in the past
few years Kenosha has been remark
ably free Of the so-called "quack"
doctors. However, the attorney for
the state society has made several trips
ito Kenosha for the purpose Of looking
after the interests Of the doctors along
these lines and considerable has been
accomplished along the line Of stopping
the sale of certain home made remedies
in the city. 1t is understood that this
crusade will be carried even farther
during the coming year. The physi-
clans claim that many Of these articles
now being offered for sale are menace
to the health of the people Of the city
and for this reason alone the sale is
desired stopped.
After the business session the socie-
ty elected officers for the coming year
and DR.. George T. Adams of the Pen
meyer Sanitarium, was elected as presi-
dent of the society. DR.. Adams has
taken great interest in the work
since he came to Kenosha and he will
undoubtedly prove a. very active head
of the society. DR.. John III. Clearly
was named as vice-president and DR..
tP. P. M. Jorgensen as secretary and
treasurer. The annual program for
the meetings to be held during the
coming year will be issued early in
January and an attractive program of
meetings is being arranged by the COM
mittee.

Ed WHARTON KILLED
Man Supposed to be From Keno
sha Run Down by Train Near
Decatur, Ill.,, Thursday
HAD LETTERS FROM KENOsHA

A man supposed to be Ed. '. marion
and a resident of Kenosha, was run
down and killed by train near De-
catur, ILL.,, on Thursday afternoon and
while the identity Of the man has not
been established, he is supposed to be
a man who worked in one Of the Keno
sha factories during the last few
months. The remains of the man were
found along the track and in the poe
kets of his coat was book in which
was written ED. Wharton, Kenosha,
Wis. - The name does not appear in
the city directory and he is not known
at the Kenosha post Office. The dead
man seemed to be about forty years
of age and was evidently a laborer.
From the appearance Of the body it
was evident that he had been tramping
about the country for some time before
he met his death. The man was not
known in Decatur but in his clothing
were a number of cards that had evi-
IDENTIFY been picked up in saloons in
Kenosha within the past few weeks.
one JheOry IN regard TO the death OF
the man was that he had been walking
along the tracks when he was run down
by the engine, but the fact that the
hands were covered with dust and iron
rust seems to indicate that he was at
tempting to steal a ride when he was
killed
Efforts are being made today to find
some trace of the relatives of the dead
man in Kenosha, but Il is generally
believed that he is some transient that
stopped over in Kenosha for day or
two and picked up the cards and then
tramped on over into Illinois where he
met his death. The matter he's been
reported to the police but the officials
have no added details in regard to the
death Of the man.

NOVEMBER WAS PLEASANT
Temperature During Month Was Even
NO Snow Fall Recorded

November was, as far as evenness of
temperature and general favorable
weather conditions are concerned, a
very agreeable month. It was one of
the kind that seldom occurs except in
the peculiar climate Of this locality.
The eleventh month Of the year came
and went, with no great range of tenn
perature, but little precipitation, and
not a killing frost to imprint the his
tory Of its climatic condition in the
memory of the local inhabitants.
The maximum temperature reached
by the thermometer during the month
was on the 3rd and 10Th of the month
when 81 degrees were registered. The
minimum was Is degrees on the 18th,
15tn and 18th.
Very seldom during the entire month
did the temperature vary over twenty
degrees in a day.
The mean maximum temperature was
1913 and the mean minimum was 500,
making a mean of 1919.
Precipitation for the entire month
amounted to 2.15 inches. Of this .66
fell on the 25th No snow fell during
the month. On seven days 01 inch or
more rain fell.
Sixteen days were clear, twelve
cloudy and two partly cloudy.

SETTLE BACK TAXES
Referee in Bankruptcy Pays Taxes of
Visible Plant Due for Two Years


Visible Plant Due for Two Years
The taxes levied against the plant
of the Visible Typewriter company for
the years 1906 and 1907 and reported
as delinquent were settled up this
morning by Carroll G. Atwood, trustee
Of the bankrupt company. The total
amount of the back taxes was
81, 621.97. The certificates were held
by A. Cary Judd of Racine.
This is probably the last business to
be settled up before the final dividend
for the creditors is declared. The
plant was sold for 1927, 500 and small
amount was secured for the uncom-
pleted machines at the plant at the
time it failed, but the total left after
the payment of the charges Of the trus-
tee and attorneys will be only few
dollars. Before anything else can be
paid the $4,000 mortgages on the plant
must be settled in full and it seems
certain that the creditors will receive
only few cents on the dollar for their
claims.

1t is a, rule of business that the cost
Of operating decreases with any in
crease in volume, but this evidently
either does not apply in the case of
telephone companies or else the mono
poly is out to get every last cent the
business will stand.'' The statistics
of the telephone companies show a
great increase in the number of long
distance calls, for instance, which bust
ness can be handled with practically
no increase in operating expenses, but
in the face Of a legitimate increase in
revenue from increased business the
company has raised it's rates on long
distance calls instead Of lowering them.
