in ANNUAL MEETING
Members of German Lutheran
Congregation Hold Annual
Meeting on Sunday
DEDICATE SCHOOL JANUARY II

The annual meeting Of the German
Lutheran church congregation was held
at the church on Sunday afternoon and
proved to be on of the most interest
ing gatherings ever held among the
German Lutherans of the city. The
reports Of the society for the year
were given by the officials and these
showed that during the year more than
$4,000 had been handled by the Of
ficials. Of this amount nearly $4,000
was handled by the savings depart
ment of the society this showing that
the members of the church were de-
cidedly thrifty during the year Just
closed. The society during the year
has made arrangements for the build
ing OF a new school and of new
church and the receipts from the mem
bers of the congregation for the aid
Of both Of these enterprises have been
decidedly satisfactory to the members
of the Board of Trustees. The new
school is now nearing completion and
arrangements have been made for the
ceremonies of dedication to take place
two weeks from yesterday. At this
time it is expected that there will be
many German Lutherans from churches
in the county come to Kenosha to take
part in the celebration. With the
completion Of the school the church
services will be held in the auditorium
of the school and the church society
will be ready to turn the ola church
over to the Lithuanian Catholics by
the first of February as contracted for.
The work Of building the new church
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
and it is probable that the corner
stone of the church will be laid some
time in February or March and that
the new church building will be com
pleted and ready for dedication by the
end Of the present year.
George Villnow and Louis Hensel
were elected as members of the Board
Of Trustees of the church for a term
Of three years; Andrew Nageli was
elected as member of the Board of
School Trustees for the main school
and Gustav Weinholtz as a member
from the branch school The Board
Of Trustees will meet for organization

Bread and Other Foods.

Wheaton bread is not a necessity;
II is only since the discovery of Amer
lea that u has become food OF the
masses. Many children prefer bananas
to bread and the tropical fruit is quite
as nutritious. quite as wholesome and
about as cheap as bread at the pres
ent retail price. The taste for par
ticslar foods is largely matter of ac-
CURED habit. In every American city
there is now big demand for black
rye bread. because the people who
have come here from Russia and
southern Europe were, before emigrat-
Ing to this country, accustomed to that
kind Of bread. Thomas Carlyle men
tons the fact that the Scotch race
maintained physical and intellectual
vigor through many centuries upon
a diet almost exclusively Of oat cruel

SLEEP ON THE CAPABLE SIDE.
According to Authority, Position in
SIumber Depends on the Work
ing of the Brain.

Some people go to steep only on
their back, and find it difficult to fall
asleep otherwise. while others who go
to sleep on their side. and who form
the greater majority, always go to
sleep on the same side. There are
very few who can fall asleep indif.
ferently on either side. Moreover.
my observations have shown me that
by far the majority of right-handed
people go to sleep on the right side,
while left-handed people go to sleep
on their left side. Some of the right.
handed people who go to sleep on the
right side may after some time turn
to their left to change position, while
others keep on sleeping on the same
side through the whole night. The
majority change position. One case
is specially interesting to quote: up
to my seventh year I slept on my
right side, and | was right handed.
AT about the age of seven / met with
an accident. was run over by a
team, and my right side was injured
so that | could not use the limbs of
