SHOW CURIOUS MODEL
Queer Doll to be Used in Anti
tuberculosis Campaign

One of the most curious and extra
ordinary dolls ever fashioned by hu-
man skill has been made for and do
mated to the Wisconsin Anti-T6bercul-
osis Association by Adolf Visel of AS
East Water street, Milwaukee.
The doll is to be used for very
serious purpose, and viii show the
methods employed in treating some of
the most tragic of human deformities.
1t is a life like model in miniature of
human body, for which tiny models
of the most recent apparatus devised
by, modern surgeons for treatment of
tuberculosis of the spine, the hip and
the knee joint, have been applied.
The exhibit is similar to model
used at the international congress and
is the first of its kind so far as known
to officers of the association, to be
used elsewhere in this country. The
model will first be shown at the exhibit
eff the association at thes state fair. 1t
will serve to demonstrate that tuber-
culosis is not confined merely to the
lungs, but may locate in other parts
of the body
"In this crusade against the white
plague, we are carrying on war
against many other forms beside what
is commonly known as consumption, :"
says physician who is a member of
the association. "The tuberculosis
germ works in many ways other than
lung disease. The crusade is designed
to lessen much pitiable deformity as
well as the needless deaths from con-
sumption.

HOLDS GREAT SERVICE
Great Crowds of People Hear Bishop
Mcdowell Preach Sunday

Bishop William F. Mcdowell, presid-
ing bishop of the Methodist Confer
ence, had the privilege of addressing
one of the largest, if not the largest,
congregation ever gathered in prot
estant church in Kenosha. Every
inch of the space in the Park Avenue
Church was filled and it is estimated
that there were fully thousand peo-
pie present. The bishop drew his ser
mon from the parable of the feeding
of the multitude. The great crowd,
the splendid singing of the vast con-
course of religious people and the mas
terly sermon Of the bishop delivered
with an earnestness that carried con-
viction to all hearts, made the service
one of the most inspiring religious
services ever held In Kenosha The
sermon of the bishop was the principal
event of Sunday, but during the after
noon and evening other sessions of the
conference was held at which ordina-
ton ceremonies took place and ami
versaries were celebrated.

WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Members GermanLutheran
Church Hold Annual Mis-
sionary Festival
new BELLS ARE DEDICATED

The annual missionary festival of
the members Of the German Lutheran
Church was held on Sunday and great
crowds of people attended the three
services held during the day in which
the cause of missions was the especial
question Of discussion In the morn
ing the Rev. A. c. Haase of Peshtigo
made a stirring address presenting the
mission claims of the church. The
afternoon service was decidedly in
teresting one and consisted in the bless
ing of the bells of the new school.
The bells were presented to the school
by one of the we'll known members of
the church, but he has asked that his
name be not made public in connec-
ton with the gift. This service which
was under the direction of the pastor,
the Rev. Carl Buenger, was in the Eng
lis language and It proved to be the
most interesting meeting of the day.
In the evening large crowd was at
the church to hear "a lecture by the
Rev. R. O. Buerger Of Waukegan who
has for some time been deeply in
terested in the missionary work of the.
church.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. sao
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on quaker

Kenosha Eagles Propose Plan
for Perpetual Memorial
to Their Members
TABLET FOR EVERY GRAVE


The delegation of the Kenosha Aerie
of Eagles headed by Alderman Peter
Pirsch which left this morning for
Omaha, Neb., to attend the annual SEES
sions of the Grand Aerie, promise to
take an important part in the session
and Alderman Pirsch as the represen-
tative Of the local Aerie, will propose
to the Grand Aerie a plan for a per
manent memorial to the memory of
every member of the order who may
die. The memorial is a beautiful
bronze grave marker which has been
designed by Charles A. Stuart, design
er for the Simmons Manufacturing
Company. 1t is a handsome design
containing a replica. of the emblems
of the order and it is proposed to add
to this the name of each dead member
together with the date Of his birth
and the date when he became mem
Der of the order. The plan was pro-
posed to the Grand Aerle a year ago
by a committee of the local organiza-
ton headed by Alderman G. F. Stemm
and it made decided hit and in order
that the plan might be put into prac
tire the Kenosha Aerie was deputized
by tie Grand Aerie to prepare a bronze
marker and present It at this meeting
of the Grand Aerie.
While the marker will be an mex
pensive one it will give the assurance
that the grave of every Eagle will be
marked and that his connection with
the order will be handed down to
posterity.
It is regarded as certain that the
Grand Aerie will except the marker as
proposed by the Kenosha Aerie 1t is
probable that these markers will be
made for the order in one of the Ke-
nosha factories

RAMBLER TEST CARS RETURN
First of the 1910 Model Autos Cover
5000 Miles Each.

The first two 1910 Model 55 Ramb-
lers produced in the Kenosha plant
of Thomas B. Jeffrey & Company have
returned to the factory after unusual
test trips of 5000 miles each, in which
the majority of Rambler dealers
throughout the East, central South and
West participated on the relay plan.
This is the first time that any manu-
facturer has placed his first cars en-
tirely in the hands Of dealers to test
them out for themselves.
Each dealer in each territory re-
ceived the test, car from the dealer
in the preceding territory and ran it
as long as he chose, over the most diff
cult roads in his locality, with the OBJ
ject of determining, for the benefit
of the maker, any weaknesses which
it might otherwise require months to
detect and might be overlooked even in
the exacting factory. tests.
The first car made the run from
Chicago to Indianapolis, Louisville,
Nashville, st. Louis, Kansas City, Lin
coin, Omaha, Sioux City and back to
Chicago, on each leg of the journey a
different dealer being at the wheel
The second car made. the trip from
Chicago to South Bend, Toledo, Cleve
land, Youngstown, Pittsburg, Harris
burg, New York, Providence, Hartford,
Albany, Rochester, Buffalo and back to
the factory under similar relay plan
At the end of every stage Of the
journey complete examination of the
car was made by the dealer and re
ports furnished to the factory. Both
cars returned in perfect condition.
The South and West test car made a
trip between Louisville and Nashville
over roads which never before had
been traversed by an automobile, and
broke the record between Lincoln and
Omaha The eastern car made an un-
usual record for economy Of gasoline
consumption, minimum tire wear and
hill climbing

City Health Officer May Lose One of
His Fingers as Result of Infection

City Health Officer J. B. Spalding
is at the Augustana Hospital in Chi
cago suffering from blood poisoning as
result of an infection in finger
and his condition is such that it is
feared that it may be found necessary
to amputate one of his fingers. Dr.
Spalding has been in the hospital for
several weeks and it was expected that
he would be able to come home today,
but the infection, took a turn on Satur-
day which may make it necessary for
him to remain at the hospital for some
days. Alarming reports of the condi-
ton of the city official were about the
city Saturday and Sunday, but these
were found to be unfounded.
