Visiting Nurse win be Sent to Ken
oslla by State Association Next
Month as a Further Reward for
Work Done by Local Committee.

Kenosha is to have an open air
school for its children just as soon as
the members of the board of education
provide place for such an institution
as announcement was made this after
noon that this city had won the open
air school equipment offered by the
Wisconsin Anti-tuberculosis association
to the city of $4,000 or over selling the
highest per capita of seals during the
holiday season. The equipment for the
open air school was the most valuable
prize offered by the association and
Kcnosha in winning it had a long lead
over the other cities in the state in
it's class. 1t will be sent to Kenosha
at once and the local committee will
be ready to have it set up just as soon
as the board Of education provides a
place for it. Kenosha has also won the
services OF visiting nurse for one
month and she will be sent to Kenosha
to work during the month of February.
There will be large work for the
nurse and she will work under the di-
rection of the local committee. Ken
osha did not win the fountain offered
for the largest per capita sale in the

Some of the Kenosha lodges already
own their buildings and others are con
sidering ways and means to secure
buildings for their exclusive use. When
the present plans are carried out Ken
osha will have the finest collection of
lodge buildings of any city in the state.
And in securing property on which to
build the leaders in the different or

edness. Anything they secure now will
appreciate in value more than the car

osha have reason to be proud of the
showing made by their city. The local
committee Of the association in charge
of the sales is to be congratulated, not
so much because Kenosha captured the
principal prizes lit came pretty near
being a clean sweep for this city, al
though the prizes are valuable, but be-
cause the results of the contest show
very clearly that the people of the city
are taking great interest in the work
of the association. The winning of the
prizes would have been impossible
without the general cooperation and
assistance of a majority Of the popula-
tion of Kenosha and it is evident that
the seals were purchased by Kenoshans
to show their appreciation of the work
that has already been done by the as
ISOLATION in this city and throughout
the state and their willingness to sup
port the campaign against tuberculosis
in the future. The showing made by
>Kenosha in this contest may be taken
by the local anti-tuberculosis commit
tee as an assurance that the people of
the city are deeply interested in the
work that is being done and that they
stand ready to further it by every
means in thHir power. 1t is no small
thing for a city to take leading place
in the greatest movement for the bene-
fit of humanity ever inaugurated.

is for the benefit of the teachers and
it should be put wherever it is most

CHRISTMAS.

The short crop and present low
price of cotton doubtless have led
some of our readers, with many
presents to buy, to think that
Christmas is recurring with alarm
ing frequency. So think also the
girl verging into pronounced old
maiden hood, and the bachelor
nearing middle age who fain would
remain young in years as well as in
general estimation.
But, as Charles Lamb says GA
way with such dull aud ageing
thoughts" The ever changing
years each holds an immemorial
and unchanging holiday, fresh in
eternal youth and based on ever
lasting things the happiness of
children and the love of fellow
man.
Christmas makes demand only
on our better emotions Love,
Friendship, Generosity and Chart
ty. The anniversary of the birth
of the Son of Man appeals to the
human in us; it is not the hope of
eternal reward nor the fear of ever
lasting punishment, that His birth
day emphasizes, but His love for
little children and the divine
charity of His nature. Christian,
sinner and infidel can join hands
and hearts in the proper celebra-
tion of Christmas.
The people of our county have
the best wishes of The Beacon for
a Happy Christmas and a Pros
porous New Year. May the Giver
of Good Gifts deal bountifully
with them in the coming year.

True Gentleman.

The forbearing use of power does
not only form a tombstone, but
the manner in which an individual
enjoys certain advantages over
others is test of true gentleman.
The power which the strong have
over the weak, the magistrate over
the citizen, and employer over the
employed, the educated over the
unlettered, the experienced over
the confiding,' even the clever
over the silly-the forbearing or
inoffensive use of all this power or
authority, or a total abstience from
it when the case admits it, will
show the gentleman in plain
light. The gentleman does not
needlessly and unnecessarily re.
mind an offender of wrong he
may have committed against him.
He can not only forgive, but he
can forget; and he strives for that
nobleness of self and mildness of
character which impart sufficient
strength to let the past be but the
past. A true man of honor feels
humbled himself when he cannot
help humbling others. Robert q.
