STAMPS FOR PRESENTS.
Postal Savings Stamps to Take Place
of Coins for Christmas Gifts.

Uncle Sam as a source Of supply for
Santa Claus, has switched from gold
pieces to stamps. Up to this year the
government minis coined large guam
titles Of two and half dollar gold
pieces which were known among the
treasury officials as Christmas money
1t was decided this year to discon
tinue the coinage of the gold pieces,
and now Uncle Sam has placed an or
der for large quantity of bright yell
low postal savings stamps. These, to-
gether with a postal card upon which
they are to be pasted, represent de-
posit in Uncle Sans new postal saw
ings banks. In order to stimulate saw
ings among the youngsters Of the land,
Uncle Sam has gone to great expense
to furnish an attractive stamp. It is
expected that there will be q great de-
mand for these stamps at Christmas
time.
The card upon which the stamps are
pasted will cost ten cents and will be
In fact fbank book It repre-
sents the initial deposit of 10 cents.
Each card holds nine stamps which
cost 10 cents each. This may be ex-
changed for a dollar certificate.
With the use of the stamps for
Christmas presents will arise the ques-
ton of whether the postmasters may
be required or may lawfully do a
mail order business for the postal
savings system will only be installed
in one, or possibly two postoffices in
each state this year.
This question has not yet been de-
cided by the officials. They are Of the
opinion however, that if the mail Or
ders for postal savings stamps do not
reach a very big amount for any one
Office it will be allowable for post
master to fill mail orders until more
postal savings deposits are establish
ed. Generally speaking, however, the
postal savings system is not to be a
mail order institution, and each man
is to be required to deposit his money
in his home town in order to keep de-
positors within the legal limit of 800
month for postal deposits.

John Cook, Well Known ON
North Side, Makes Reign Of
Terror at Schlitz Hotel
THREATENS LIVES OF MANY

John Cook, thirty-fve years of age
and resident of Kenosha for some
time became violently insane at the
Schlitz Hotel on North Main street on
Tuesday afternoon and he is now be-
ing held at the county Jail pending an
examination into his mental condition.
Cook had formerly been employed
at the Skidd hardware store and no
one seems to be able to assign any
cause for the breaking down of his
mental faculties. He had seemed in
usual health and spirits on Tuesday
morning, but Tuesday afternoon he
seemed to be seized with mania for
killing some one. He is alleged to
have threatened the lives of several
of theAmen at the Schlitz Hotel and
attempted to attack Michael Rosen,
the proprietor of the hotel with big
piece Of coal. Early in the afternoon
it is declared that he threatened to
commit suicide by throwing himself in
the Kenosha harbor but he was re-
strained by the men about the hotel
and was held until the police could
take him to the Jail. Since he has been
in Jail Cook has been raving continu-
ously.> He is unable to give any facts
in regard to himself or his relatives,
and the officers have note been able to
get any facts in regard to the life of
the man. He is to have hearing in
the county court this afternoon and
will probably be sent to the state hos
pitaI at Mendoza.

WANTS TO PROTECT HIS Wife
Notifies Sherin Tnat He is Ready to
Make Full Confession of His Part
of the Crime and Take His Medicine
and Go to Prison at Once.

Albert Koch, who has been in the
county Jail for the past two months
awaiting trial on charges of most
sensational nature in connection with
the sale of his wife into "whiJe slav-
cry" has asked to be given chance
to purge his conscience by making a
full breast of his connection with the
shameful business and to this end this
morning he asked Sheriff Gunter to ad-
wise the district attorney that he was
ready to go into court and tell the
whole loathsome story of himself and
his wife and take his medicine by being
sentenced to term in the state prison.
Koch has formerly made partial
statements to the district attorney but
he declared today that he had told but
half the truth and that he desired to
get the whole thing off his conscience
and if possible make some PREPARATION
by serving his term in prison. He has
not seen his wife for many weeks and
she is now under the protection of her
father and it is expected that whe1
the husband is sent to prison she viii
appeal to the courts for divorce.
District Attorney Baker who was in
Chicago attending the hearing of John
Nimitz was at once notified Of the re-
quest of Koch and it is expected that
the man will be given a chancs to make
his statement tonight or tomorrow.
Koch has told his story to the men at
the jail and it is one of the most SEN
sational ever told in the county. It is
even more degrading than the story
told by the wife when she took the
stand some time ago to give evidence
against Joel jacobson who had been
arrested on a charge of being an ac-
cessory to the crime of adultery. The
statements made by Koch to the dis
trict attorney some time ago were
thought to be sufficient to secure his
conviction>o of the crime charged against
him but Koch had been held in jail
pending the hearing Of cases against
other men. If Koch unburdens his
heart as he has indicated that he will,
it is pretty certain that there will be
other arrests in, connection with the
case and it is not improbable that
other men well known In the city will
be drawn into the case. Koch has ex-
pressed desire to shield his wife
from further notoriety in the case and
he evidently believes that his story
will have the result of making it un-
necessary for her to take the witness
stand in other hearings in connection
with the case.
Both jacobson and Koch have been
held for trial at the October term of
the municipal court and it is possible
that the district attorney will permit
Koch to go into court and plead guilty.
1t is understood that Koch himself will
ask no mercy and it is pretty certain
that he will be given as heavy a SEN
tence as the law will permit.

FIND MANY DEFECTS IN TESTS
Children are Found to be Detective in
Seeing, Hearing and Breathing and
Parents are Asked to Remove Ply
steal Disabilities.


Parents in Kenosha are ignorant of
the condition Of the health of their
children and this fact is shown by the
reports of the physicians who have re-
Gently made the annual examination
of the children of the public schools.
DR.. G. H. Ripley, who heads the
Board of Examiners is now making up
his annual report which will be pre-
scented to the Board of Education at
its next regular meeting and this shows
that the parents Of the children should
be instructed as we'll as the childreS.
While the examination now being com
pleted has not shown the existence of
any large number of cases Of contag-
ious disease it has shown that scores
of the children of the city are defect
i've in hearing, seeing, in breathing and
many of them suffer from catarrhal
diseases.
DIR. Ripley in speaking of the annual
examination this morning said: "All
of the physicians have not as yet made
their reports to me but in the schools
where / personally conducted the ex-
animation / found conditions just about
the same as they were last year. The
usual number Of children show indica
tion of false methods of breathing
/ found one pupil who had defective
hearing and on account of this it was
difficult for her to beep up with her
work in the school Many times the
failure Of the boy or girl to advance
in the class work is due to defect in
his or her physical condition. Children
are sensitive of these defects and they
allow their work TO lag rather than tC
make complaint. / found the usua
number of bad throats and cases of de
fective breathing and efforts will be
made to have all of these defects i'm
proved. We shall at once notify the
parents OF, the children of the defects
in their physical condition but we have
no power to force the parents to act
On the advice Of the examining phv
sicians and seek to remove the handi
cap of the child. The education OF
the parent must be developed along
these lines that he or she may see the
necessity of the school child being in
the best possible physical condition. I"
During the exapinations the physi
clans have had heart to heart talks
with the teachers and these talks have
been supplemented by short talk by
the Superintendent of the schools in
which the teachers were urged to more
zealously guard the health of the chill
dren 1t is said that the epidemic OF
measles and whooping cough prevalent
In the schools a short time AGO is DIV
ing out and it is thought that the care
taken by the teachers is doing much
to improve conditions. 1t is planned
to have the cards showing the result
of the examinations OF the children
sent to every parent and this will show
just what is needed to have the chile
in perfect physical condition. If thc
parents will take these suggestions 4,
kindly and act on them it is certain
that the examination will result in :
much more healthfuI condition amone

LAUGH AND GROW FAT.

Laugh and grow fat" like so
many popular sayings, is an expessiOn
which contains much truth. Dys-
pepsia is malady that will seldom
be found in the family where the
dinner gives occasion. for cheerful talk
and mirth and where all worry and
"disgruntlement, and especially
quarreling, are under a ban.
Every member ofthe family should
m Ike it an absolute rule to put worry
and all thoughts of business or study
aside for the moment, and to come
to the table prepared to be light
hearted and gay. This is not only
as a moral duty, but rests upon the
very physical reason that his appetite
will be better and his food will taste
better and will be better digested.
In this connection it goes without
saying that bills and disagreeable

paniment of the morning meal, be-
cause day started with chargin is
