Physician Tells of the Awful Loss
of Life Due to TubercuI.
osis in the Country
URGES EDUCATION OF PEOPLE
(From Tuesdays Daily. J

One Of the leading physicians Of the
city in speaking Of the lecture to be
delivered at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening by DR.. G. A. Harper,
Secretary Of the State Board of Health
said: 81 hope that every man and
woman and child in Kenosha will be
able to hear DR.. Harper discuss Tuber-
culosis at the Opera House ON Thurs
day evening. This is not to be lect-
ure for people suffering from consump
tion and allied diseases, but a common
sense talk on one Of the greatest ques-
tions before the people today. 'The
prevention of tuberculosis diseases. ,
One seventh Of the deaths in the coun-
try last year were caused by tuberculo-
sis in some of it's forms and the per-
centage of deaths in Kenosha county
from the disease was much larger than
the general average for the country
The pity of ii all is that this is entirely
preventable. Robert Koch the dis
coverer Of the germ was recently in
this country, but the interest shown
in his visit was so great that he was
forced to keep in hiding to avoid the
crowds of newspaper men seeking him.
What we want the people to learn is
not so much that tuberculosis can be
cured as that it can be prevented. |
believe that with the use Of proper
hygienic and sanitary measures it
would be possible to destroy this dread
disease within a generation. What Dr..
Harper, who has taken the greatest
interest in this work desires to show
the people are the facts in regard to the
mode of prevention to be followed. To
the man who has made study Of the
question it is apparent that we are
annually not only sacrificing thousands
Of lives on account of tuberculosis, but
the material assets of the nation. A
life can not be measured in money, but
statistics show that an adult life is
worth $4,000 to the community. That
is one life would produce that much
from raw material and if it is lost
there is just that much taken from the
general production of the nation.
Proper education Of the people along
practical lines is all that is needed to
completely stamp out tuberculosis in all
its forms and the people are awaken
ing to the realization of this fact
daily. DR.. Harper has made special
study Of this line Of work and he
speaks as one of authority

ACTIVE At POLLS
The Influence of Organized Labor
To Be Noticed at Election To.
Be Held Next Fall
HIT AT THE CONGRESSMAN

Organized labor will make its infu-
ence felt in the coming presidential
election to an extent that will make
statesmen "sit up and take notice, +"
according to Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
in an interview in Chicago last night
The leader of the labor movement
was optimistic, as usual; but he set his
teeth when congress was mentioned and
declared that if the measures urged by
labor do not become laws at this ses-
sion those responsible will have to ans
wer in the fall election.
81 am not going to anticipate what
congress may do" said Mr.. Gompers,
g but we shall continue our political
activity whether the measures we ad-
vocate become laws or not We shall
adhere to our political program to
help our friends and defeat our enc
mics, whether they are candidates for
president Of the United States or for
minor Offices. Organized labor was
never as thoroughly aroused as it is
now, and we intend to keep after the
legislators opposed to our just demands,
regardless of political party afilia-
tionS.''
Mr.. Gompers said he had been ad-
vised by the legislative committee that
the Wilson bill amending the Sherman
antitrust law would be introduced in
the senate today by Senator William
Alden Smith of Michigan.
The determined stand which the
labor unions took against wage reduc-
lions has saved the. country from an
industrial stagnation in the opinion of
Mr.. Gomper. eff it had not been for
the determined stand The organized
wage earners made against wage reduc-
tions," said Mr.. Gompers, "we would
be in the midst of an industrial panic
now. The captains of industry were
notified in unmistakale language that
the workers of the country were stand
ing erect and would not meekly submit
to injustice. That our policy was a
wise one is proved by the trade condi-
tions all over the country. There are
still a large number of men unemploy-
ed, but the number is gradually being
reduced to normal. The trade union
movement has more virility in it at the
present time than it has had at any
time in the last two years, and I look
for still greater activity in the coming
summer. The recent court decisions
affecting labor have stirred the work
ers up and good results will follow

Local Aerie May Have Splendid
Home of Their Own Within
the Next Few Months
PLAN TO BUILD WITH BIJ0U
Matter to Be Submitted to the Members
of the Aerie at the Meeting to Be
Held on Wednesday Evening
Members Are Enthusiastic
(From TUESDAYS Daily.l

At it's next regular meeting the
Kenosha Aerie Of Eagles will consider
plans for the building of club house
for while the plan has not as yet been
taken up by the Aerie, the officials in
charge have considered it and it will
be presented to the members of the
order at that time. 1t is stated on
good authority that Frank J. O 'Brien,
owner of the Bijou theatre property has
consented to unite with the Eagles in
the erection Of the new building with
the understanding that he is to have
the use of the lower floor of the build
ing for theatre purposes, while all of
the upper floors of the building will be
for the use of the members Of the
order. The Eagles is one of the strong
est fraternal organizations in the city
and it has membership of nearly five
hundred. The present quarters of the
Aerie are in the upper floor Of the old
Masonic building on Main street which
was recently purchased by the Knights
of Columbus and it is understood that
in a short time this building is to be
rebuilt and it is possible that the en-
tire upper floor Of the building will be
used as hall for the Knights of Col
umbus. The Eagles have been consid-
ering the erection of home of their
own for some time and it is understood
that the proposition Of Mr.. 0 'Brien is
much in favor. The plans as made pro
vide for the building of building
with the theatre of modern construc-
ton occupying the entire ground floor
The second floor of the building will
include club rooms, bowling alleys and
parlors while the third floor will be
suitable for use as a dance hall It is
claimed that the hall will have larger
dancing space than is now to be found
at Germania Hall. It is understood
that the proposition Will be presented
to the Eagles at their meeting on Wed
nesday evening.
More than a year ago the owners of
the Bijou theatre closed deal for the
purchase Of ground on Park street with
the understanding that it was to be
used for the erection of theatre.
The theatre is now housed in the
Elks building on Wisconsin street, but
only short time lease has been taken
on this building and it is understood
that the Elks building does not meet
all the demands of the company for a
modern theatre. The plans for the
improvement of the Elks building have
not as yet been made and it is probable
that if the theatre on Park street is
built the rooms on the grouLd floor Of
the Ellzs building will be turned into
stores 1t is understood that the Elks
would be willing to take possession of
their own building at any time Mr.
0 'Brien could secure a more suitable
place regardless of the provisions Of
the lease.

WILL KEEP HIGH STANDARD
Committees Raise Funds to Keep Raw
MIA Park High Glass Resort

There is joy along the north shore
Late last night it was announced that
the sum necessary to save Ravinia
Park had been raised by the hundred
or more committeeman in the various
suburbs who had the matter in charge
The committee will render it's re-
port to Judge P. S. Grosscup, in the
Federal Court, and the expectation is
that in view of the hearty support Civ
en- the park project he will order that
the necessary steps be taken to preserve
the former high character Of the place.
While no definite sum was fixed by
Judge Grosscup when he gave his ap-
proval to the effort to save the park,
lit was estimated that $4,000 would
have to be guaranteed before he would
order its preservation. Local com
mittees were appointed in Waukegan,
Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Highland
Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, Kenilworth,
Wilmette, Evanston, Rogers Park and
kenosha to secure subscriptions to the
fund. Blocks of tickets will be issued
ito the subscribers up to the full amount
of their subscriptions.
All last evening the committeeman
rushed about through the rain round
ing up belated subscribers and making
an eleventh hour effort to wrest victory
from defeat. At IL O'Clock the task
was over and, tired and foot-sore, the
workers went to their homes, proud in
the consciousness that they had sue
! ceeded in their efforts It was found
that the shopkeepers, trades people and
those Of moderate means were as en-
thusiastic for the welfare of the park as
the millionaires. Subscriptions ranged
all the way from $40 to $2OG.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY
Indoor Programs This Years Feature
In All the Public Schools

The annual observance of Arbor and
Bird day will occur next Friday in all
the public schools, but the outdoor ex-
ercises will not be marked by the dis
play of former years, as it has been de-
termlned that more can be accomplished
by appropriate programs impressing on
the minds Of the scholars the spirit and
import of the occasion than by lis
missal of school and the planting of
trees, etc.
Some trees and shrubs will, of course,
be planted, but the observance will
principally consist of the exercises
which. will be held by all the grades of
the city and at which the children will
vote upon the selection of a state
flower
In connection with Arbor Day, Bird
Day will also be observed, and while
this is a new feature in school work
it has been taken up to such an extent
by the state department and educators
in general that much attention will b.
paid to it.
The intent Of the exercises incident
to Bird Day is to inculcate the same
knowledge Of birds and animals as is
taught concerning trees, shrubs, and
flowers by the observance of Arbor
Day.

GETS FAKE CRIPPLE
Police Officer Leik Picks Up Man Who
Was Begging on the Streets Saturday

Joe Leonard who claims to hail from
Ashland was arrested on Sunday after
noon by Police Officer Leik on a charge
of attempting to obtain money under
false pretenses. The man was begging
on the street and attempted to gain
sympathy by claiming that one of his
arms had been cut off. Leik made an
examination and found that Leonard
had craftily bound his arm under his
coat so that the empty sleeve could be
used to defraud the people.
