THE OPEN AIR TREATMENT

The open air treatment for tuberculo-
sis is now recognized as the most eff
fective and it has brought very favora-
bic results. There is scarcely a state,
now, but has provided for it's sufferers
from the "white plague" some sort of
hospital or rendezvous where they can
get the outdoor treatment. In Wiscon-
sin, if the State Park Board IS plans are
carried out, there will be number Of
places where, amid picturesques and
healtful surroundings, people who do not
care to go to hospital can camp and
secure the open-air treatment for them
selves. The proposed state parks are
as likly to be famed for their advan-
tages as health resorts as for their at
fractions as pleasure resorts.

|NSPECTS THE CREW
Government Officials Pay Quar-.
terIy Visit to the Life Saving
Station on Thursday
CREW ENTITLED TO PRAISE

Lieutenant Ballinger and Superinten-
dent Morton Of the United States Life
lSaving service, were in Kenosha yes
terday and made an inspection of the
Kenosha Life Saving Crew. The in
spection was the regular quarter in
spection and it was of interest on ac-
count of the fact that it was the first
one made since Captain Fountain took
charge of the station with the opening
Of the season. The boats were taken
out on the lake and in the harbor basin
and all Of the drills known to the life
saving service were carried out with
precision. Quite number Of people
watched the drills with interest.
Captain Fountain has taken charge
of the work in Kenosha with vim
and already he has won the confidence
of the men and the report of the Of
fcials making the inspection will give
high praise to the efficiency of the
Kenosha crew.
During the stay in Kenosha the gov
eminent officials made an inspection of
all the equipment of the station and it
is probable that the Kenosha station
will be allowed lot of new equipment
later in the year. The Kenosha station
has always been we'll maintained by
the government and it has been select
ed as one Of the stations to test new
equipment.
During their stay in Kenosha the
members Of the government party dis
cussed with Captain Fountain the prop
osition for the building of new sta
ton, but made no statements in regard
to the action of the government in this
respect.
The old plan of removing the station
to point closer the lake was discuss
ed and the various sites suggested were
visited. 1t is generally thought that
when the new station is built (and this
may not be for some time) that it will
be located much closer to the water
line.
The officials went from Kenosha to
Racine and the visit will include all the
stations along the west shore of the
lake.

STRIKE AT COURT HOUSE
Painters Called to Quit Work on Ac-
count of Non Union Carpenters
(From Thursdays Daily.)

IT rom 1uuISuIy Od1Iy-J
The work Of redeeorating the court
room at the county court house was de
layed for several hours on Wednesday
afternoon on account of the fact that
the union painters at work on the job
were called off at the order of the Car
Ipenters Union. The trouble came as the
result Of nonunion carpenters being en-
ployed to build scafold for the work
men to stand on. The job was small
one and contractor Pinsger took the
first carpenters he could find. The
painters quit work and it looked for q
time as if all Of them would be dis
charged, but the matter was amicably
settled last night and this morning the
work is going forward again
The work of putting up the scaffold
is being done by the painters them
selves. AS they are Union men the plan
seems to be satisfactory to the carpen-
tiers.
