The long list of names of the prize
winners in the contest started by the
nti-tuberculosis campaign committee
among the children of the public schools
for the best essay on the prevention
and cure of the dicease, which will be
found in the News this evening shows
what a deep interest was taken in the
contest in all the schools of the city
and how many scholars made a close
study of the subject in order to be
able to complete for the prizes offered.
The success of this prize competition
shows that the local committee hit up
on an idea for arousing interest just
where deep interest will be the most
valuable and likely to be the most pro-
ductive of results in the future which
might we'll be followed by other cities.
1t. will cost the committee some money
to pay the prizes offered but it is
evident that the committee got better
results under this plan than it could
have obtained for the expenditure of
a similar sum in any other way.

The telephone company has decorat-
ed the mouthpieces of all its instru-
ments with little discs of cardboard
bearing the Telephone Pledge; 81 be-
lieve in the golden rule and will try
and be as courteous, and considerate
over the telephone as if face to face. :"
The officials Of the company are firmly
of the opinion that if the patrons of
the company take this pledge to heart
the efficiency of the service will be
greatly increased, it being understood
of course that the pledge is being OBJ
served at the other end of the wire in
the main offices of the company. These
same officials would be the first to adj
NIT, however, that it is asking good
deal of the subscriber to "hold in =
and refrain from addressing a few re-
marks to the operator when his phone
is cut off in the middle of an import
ant conversation.

The experts of the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wisconsin
are making close study of the increas-
ed cost to the producer of milk which
is marketed in strict compliance with
the rules and regulations of the health
departments of the larger cities re-
Gently put in force and the investiga-
tion so far bears out the contention
of those who claim that the increase
in cost to the producer under the regu-
lations has been grossly overestimated
and that no justification for any such
consumer as have recently been put in
force can be found in any burden i'm
posed by the enforcement of the SAM
tary regulations. The annual battle
between the milk producers and the big
distributors over the yearly contracts
brought out the fact that the farmer
was getting nothing from the increased
CdA 4CN1VO Wy INC I0ldi4ClO Ou Iu0 COA-
sumner and now that the investigation
of the college experts brings out the
evidence that at the best the farmer
is entitled to so small an amount as
to make little difference in the retail
prices the conclusion is forced that the
big companies which handle the pro-
duct are simply giving the business
"all it will bear" In other words
the sanitary regulations have been made
the pretext for an unwarranted increase
in the prices charged the consumer by
the big distributors from which the
producer gets practically no benefit and
from which he is entitled on the show
ing so far made to only very small
increase in his selling prices. Where
does the consumer come in? Milk
consumers were satisfied to pay increas-
ed prices for protection when they be-
ieved that the sanitary regulations in
creased the cost to the producer, but
now that it is being coming apparent
that the producer is getting nothing
and moreover is entitled to practically
nothing, how long will they submit to
the extortionate rates now in force
without protesting.

HONORDEAD COMRADE
Grand Commander of G.. A. r.
Pays Tribute to the Late
z. G. Simmons
PRAISES WORK FOR SOLDIERS

The national organization of the
Grand Army Of the Republic has taken
formal notice of the death of the late
2. G.. Simmons of Kenosha and in the
annual letter to the various posts sent
out by Commander in Chief Samuel
R. Van SAINT of Minneapolis, there is
printed a short memorial to the de-
ceased Kenosha man. Mr.. Simmons
was the only honorary member of the
Grand Army and this is the first time
that the official orders of the Grand
Army have contained a memorial to
a man not a member of the orgariza-
ton and the holder Of no official po-
sition in the nation. In the memorial
Commander in Chief Van SAINT says:
The Grand Army of the Republic has
sustained severe loss In the death of
the "soldiers friend - Zalmon G. Sim
mons, who died at his home in Keno
sha, Wisconsin, February II, 1910.
By reason of physical disability he
was not able to serve as soldier, but
from the beginning to the close of the
war he was most loyal supporter Of
the government and contributed large
sums Of money for the support of the
families of the soldiers in the field, and
was exceptionally generous in his bene-
factions bestowed upon the widows and
children of those who lost their lives
in defense of their country.
His interest in the soldier did not
cease with the close of the war, but
continued with undated affection to
the hour of his death. At his own
expense he erected in the city of Ke-
nosha one of the finest soldier monu-
ments in Wisconsin, and contributed to
the erection Of a monument to the
founder of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, a. sum far in excess of any other
person. He prepared and presented to
each member Of the Thirty-ninth Ma
tional Encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic beautiful bronze
medal and was unanimously elected an
honorary member Of the order, a. com
pliment never before or since conferred
upon. any other person. For almost
half century he was true, earnest,
devoted and helpful friend of the
Union Soldier and in his death the
Grand Army of the Republic has been
sorely bereayed and the nation has lost
citizen and patriot of the highest
and purest type.

With the completion rof the new city
hall next year Kenosha will have the
beginnings of civic center in which
the people Of the city can take pride
and which it is expected will surpass
anything Of the kind in any city the
size Of Kenosha in the country, but it
begins to look as if we had missed a
chance to have a beauty spot absolute
ly unique in it's way-something that
it would be impossible for other cities
to duplicate. If it could have been
foreseen that the leading fraternal or
CARNATIONS of the city were to wax
so prosperous as to erect special build
ings for their own uses we could have
had fraternal center which would
have been the only thing of its kind
in the country.

GYPSIES IN JAIL
Three Women Forced to Spend the
Night in the County Jail

Three women, all members of band
of gypsies in camp in the town of Som
ers, were forced to spend Friday night
in the county jail and this morning
they were taken into the municipal
court and given an hour to get out of
the city with instructions to stay out.
The women came into the city late
Friday afternoon and were begging on
the street, They approached. every
one that came along and when refused
aims they became unruly and made all
sorts of remarks to the people who re-
fused them money, They were finally
picked up by the chief of police and
taken to Jail. The women cried ali
night long in the jail and made life
miserable for the few summer visitors
at that institution. They gave the
judge every assurance that they would
get out of Kenosha and give the city a
wide berth in the future.

All the health boards in the country
are getting out their shot weather"
bulletins with their columns of advice
on how to get through the heated
spells with the minimum of danger and
discomfort and the gist of all Of them
can be summed up in one line. "Be
moderate in all things and take it
easy" One paper sums up the warn
ings of the doctors as follows: "We
are admonished to reduce our food al
lowance, cut out strong drink, let
greasy things alone, consume quantities
of pure enthusiastically and internal
ly--and live largely on vegetables,
fruits, cereals and milk" There is
more danger this year than ordinarily
in disregarding these plain instructions
for right living during a heated term
for the abnormally cold weather of this
spring has given people no chance to
become accustomed to warm weather
gradually. The hot weather came with
a rush without any gradual warming
up and there is danger in these sudden
changes from one extreme to another
and the liability of a sudden break
down will be greatly increased by any
,overindulgenee or disregard of the laws
of health

In commenting on the progress al
ready made by the movement for a
sane Fourth of July, the Journal of
the American Medical Association says:
Enough cities have tried with sue
cess the experiment of enforcing laws
prohibiting the use of explosives on
Independence day to establish it's feast
bility and it is within the power of
evry community to rid itself of the
annual catastrophe; all that is needed
in an efficient and clear seeing chief
magistrate or few active, public
spirited citizens, or some energetic or
ganization which sees its opportunity
for service in this matter Here is
place where medical societies have
done good work in a few localities,
and there is an unexcelled chance for
efficient service by every society To-
Gated in town where dangerous
methods of celebration are permitted;
but some more active and persistent
exertion than the passing of resolu-
tions is required if results are to be
obtained.
1t is, as the Journal remarks,
'"within the power of every community
to rid itself of the annual catastrophe"
and it is sincerely to be hoped that
the success of the moderately energetic
attempt to enforce the state and city
laws against the sale of dangerous ex-
plosives in this city last year, when
the city came through the day with
only minor injuries to record, will lead
every organization in Kenosha, the
medical society included, to give the
weight of its influence for a stricter
enforcement of the regulations this
year Most of us look on with easy
indifference when the maladministration
of the law only results in frittering
away of the public money, but any
laxity on the part of the authorities
in the enforcement of these laws de-
signed to protect the lives and limbs
of the children should be regarded as
a much more serious matter. It is
trifing with human life. You may
perhaps notice that the medical journal
does not even refer to the heavy prop
erty losses involved in the unrestricted
celebration of the day. It evidently
regards them and rightly 50 as of very
minor importance in. comparison with
the killing and naming Of hundreds
Iof children.

TUCKER PAYS A FINE
Man Assaulted by Italian is Held on
Charge of Petit Larceny

James Tucker, the farm hand arrest
ed in connection with the slashing bee
at Truesdell on Wednesday evening was
brought before Judge Randall on a
charge of petit larceny late Thursday
afternoon and on plea of guilty was
fined ten dollars and the costs of the
action. The fine and costs were paid
and Tucker is now out looking for the
Italian who slashed him with a razor.
Sheriff Gunter declared this morning
that as yet he had made no progress
in the search for the Italian and it is
generally believed that the man is be-
ing hidden from the officials by other
Italians employed at Truesdell. 1t is
known that the man being sought. was
badly wounded in his fight with Tuck
er, and it is thought that it would be
impossible for him to get far away
without medical attention. No physi-
clan has been found who cared for the
Italian and for this reason it is thought
that he is still in the neighborhood of
Truesdell.

CHARGES UNUSUAL THEFT
Warrant Issued fer j. Puterka Charged
With Stealing "Horses TALL

In the. municipal court this morning
a warrant was issued for the arrest of
John Puterka and he is charged with
the larceny of one horses tail. The
complaining witness is August Berch
who operates merry go round. Ac-
cording to the story told by Berch the
tail was a. "real" horses tail which
had been put on one of the wooden
horses of the merry go round. He
claims that Puterka went to ride on
the continuance and that when he left
he snapped off the handsome tail of
the wooden horse and took it with him.
The stolen property is valued at $3.50.
The police have not as yet been able
to pick up Puterka.

1t needs but a glance at the balance
sheet of the Northwestern road to show
that the officials of that company
know their business, but to an outsider
it certainly looks as if it would be
cheaper and better in every way for
the company to put down crossing in
this city which would stay put and
not be everlastingly making repairs.
Take the Prairie avenue crossing for
instance. One gang of repair men
appears to be doing something there
about half the time.

WILL SAVE LARGE SUM
Sprinkling System May be Installed at
the Racine Insane Asylum

Members of the Racine County Board
of Supervisors who have charge of the
installing of the new system of fire pro-
lection at the Racine County Insane
Asylum believe that within ten years
the system will pay for itself by the
savings in the premiums on fire insur-
ance carried on the asylum property.
The system is rapidly nearing compile
ton and it is expected that test will
be given it within a week and then a
special meeting of the county board
will be called and the system accepted
provided the tests are satisfactory.
The county carries $4,000 fire in
surance on the county asylum building
and contents and the rate of insurance
is 81 per hundred for three years, MAX
ing the total cost $2,SOOl With the
installing of the modern system of fire
protection and sprinkling system the
cost would be cut down to about TWEEN
ty or thirty cents for each $l00 so
that there would be saving every
three years of about $4,000 and in nine
years the system will have paid for
itself out of the money saved in insur-
ance premiums.
The county board gave the special
committee full authority to install a
modern system of fire protection and
this is being done under the supervi-
sion of George G. Peterson, chairman
of the committee, and his fellow mem
bers.

DR.. E. H. OCHSNER AS SPEAKER
Well Known Chicago Physician Talks
of the Great Need of Good Training
Schools and Good Nurses in Every
City.

The third commencement exercises of
the Kenosha Hospital Training School
were held at the Guild hall on Thursday
evening and three young women who
have completed the work of the
school received diplomas as graduate
nurses. The exercises drew to the hall
"a crowd which completely filed it,
showing the great interest that is being
taken in the work of the hospital and
the training school
In honor of the commencement the
hall was beautifully decorated and the
stage was completely hidden with a
wealth of palms and bunting.
The feature of the commencement
program was an address by DR.. Edward
H. Ochsner of Chicago, who is at the
head of the great Augustana hospital,
regarded as one Of the best regulated
hospitals in the world. DIR. Ochsner
spoke on the subject: ga Good Train
ing School and Good Nurse" and
his address was one Of great practical
interest to the graduating nurses and
to the people of the city who have
taken an interest in the building up
of the hospital and the training school.
In his address DR.. Ochsner spoke of
the great need that was felt every
where for the competent nurse and he
declared that no profession offered a
more honorable career to young WON
en-. He spoke of the need of training
school for nurses in every city where
there were sick and injured to care for
and declared that training school
properly equipped was as much of ne
cessity in the cities of the country as
the other public school systems. In
his address he gave great amount of
practical instruction to the graduating
nurses and other students of the train
ing school declaring that professionally
nursing carried with it the greatest
responsibility and that for this reason
the women who sought to take up this
profession should be ready to give to
the service their best efforts.
Following the excellent address by
DR.. Ochsner the diplomas were pre-
sented by DR.. G. Windesheim, President
of the Faculty Of the Training School.
The members of the class included
Misses Ida Mickelsen, Agnetta Larson
and Josephine DeMallie.
The Alumnae Of the Kenosha Hospi-
tai Training School now consists of
nine nurses and all of them are winning
a high place in their profession. 1t is
declared by men who have been inter
ested in the work that the Kenosha
training school has set high standard
for it's students and the work done
in the local training school is rated
with that done in the large hospitals
of Chicago and Milwaukee. !.
With the opening of the new hospital
late in the fall it is expected that the
work Of the training school will be
largely extended. There will be no
graduating exercises next year but the
following year it is expected that the
largest class in the history of the
school will be graduated.
With the opening of the new hospital
the work of the training school will
remain under the same management
and the physicians of the city have vol
unteered to give their services to make
the school work even more successful.

SEEK BURGLARS HERE
Three Prisoners Who Escaped From
Waupaca Sought in Kenosha

The police have received a letter
from the officials at Waupaca asking
them to make an effort to find some
trace of Julius Bolinski, Charles Har-
vey, and James Rogers, three men
charged with burglary wheS took French
leave from the Waupaca Jail on June
7th. The officials have been on the
trail of the men and it is claimed that
the trail leads to this section of the
state. The Kenosha officials have
been searching for the men, but as yet
they have not been able to find any
trace of them.

There is considerable complaint on
the unsafe condition in which Ashland
avenue is left at night by the sewer
diggers and the employees of the pub
lie service corporations who are get
ting the street ready for the PAYERS.
1t is claimed that there are not half
enough red lights placed to guard the
excavations left open in the street by
the workmen ard that there is great
danger that some one may be seriously
hurt by driving into the bitches. The
fact that there have been two minor
accidents on the street in the past
week when horse and an automobile
went into the excavations seems to in
dictate that there is some truth in the
claims that the street is unsafe. That
no one was hurt in these accidents was
due to luck merely and the firms which
would have been liable for any dam
ages resulting from an accident are
fortunate that they have mo suits to
defend in the courts. Ashland avenue
is one of the busiest streets in the
city, it being the principal thorough
fare for all automobiles entering the
city from the south and one of the two
main roads to the city cemetery and
while it is necessary that it be torn
up the work should be. done in such
a manner as to interfere with traffic
as little as possible and every precau-
ton should be taken to make it safe
at night,

Some of the merchants could do the
public a real service by hanging out
a fairly reliable thermometer in front
of their places of busir ass. Also the
estimates on the temperature would
have to be cut down many degrees.
