SUFFRAGE WINS IN DEBATE.
Girls at High School Defeat Boys in
Debate on Question of Suffrage.

Woman's suffrage won a victory at
the Kenosha high school on Friday aft
ernoon when the question of the right
of women to vote was debated by a
team composed of Misses Marian Hav-
ems and Catherine Langan, while the
negative side of the question was taken
by Lawrence Eastman and Irving Main
land. The two young women put up a
splendid argument in favor of the
right of suffrage for their sex and the
boys did just as well in upholding the
idea that the home was the place for
woman and that the men should con-
tinue to rule the ballot. The judges were
Mrs. E. S. Jordan, Mrs. W. J. Barden
and Rev. E. 7. Farrill and the verdict
was two to one in favor of the women
voting.
An interesting literary program was
rendered in connection with the de-
bate.

RECALLS BICYCLE DAYS.

Rambler "Cross Country Recalls In
PRODUCTION of First 500 Bicycle.
The announcement of the Rambler
Cross Country, a $3.50 ear, by The
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, recalls
to the old wheel horses of the trade
the sensation that was created in the
bicycle days when the Gormully and
Jeffcry Company, chen manufacturing
the Rambler bicycle, announced the
first high class bicycle to sell under
one hundred dollars.
Another high grade bicycle was sell
ing at that price and had, up to that
time, apparently led the field. The
Rambler bicycle then announced the
production of the new type and in a
single year sold fifty thousand
bicycles,
For the past ten years, this COM
pany has been building up it's factory
producing high priced ears for the
most part, until today, with facilities
capable of producing ninety-six per
cent of all parts that go into the
Rambler, the decision has been made
to build popular priced car, giving
in this model value that is quite an
usual in the industry
The car has 80 horse power, 100
inch wheel base and< 36x415 inch
wheels and tires It's big car
in every respect and is of the same
quality as the higher priced models.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring Is their own req
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept
20 K, Boston.

DANGER IN THE CUP
Efforts to Abolish the Common
Drinking Vessel.
Illinois Follows Kansas in Legislation
Erecting Use of the Public Cup
A Safety Drinking
Fountain.

Springfield, Ill-Illinois has fol-
lowed Kansas in legislation to effect
the abolition of the common drinking
cup. Death turks in it. tuberculosis,
diphtheria and other deadly diseases
are distributed by it.
There is no question whatever
about these Facts, which may be said
briefly to summarize the results of a
special investigation recently made
by the board of health of the state of
Kansas.
Kansas led the way in a movement
to do away with the common drinking
glass. Such receptacles, which carry
all sorts of infection from mouth to
mouth, are not to be in future allowed
in railroad trains, railroad stations
and other public places in that state.
Their use i'll the public schools is no
longer to be permitted. And now Hi
nois has followed with similar regula-
this movement will become nation
wide
One might say that the problem is
satisfactorily solved by the paper cups
for individual use which are sold by
slot machines in many public places
nowadays. All one has to do is to
drop cent into the slot, and out pops
a beautifully-made tumbler of paraf-
fine paper, well put together and stiff
enough to hold liquid for drinking.
But when one comes to think about it.
one perceives that such cups as these
are of small practical use for every
day folk; they are a luxury for the
rich. Only the well-to-do can afford
to pay a penny for a drink of water.
The problem of the drinking cup in
its relation to health is much more diff
ficult and much more important than
most people imagine Recent investi-
cations of the subject by the Kansas
state board of health and by many
archaeological experts elsewhere have

Burqlar Eefr;ended Him.

A burglar was arrested for robbing
a house up the state some time since,
and the next morning the victim rush
ed wildly into the magistrates office.
AS soon as he could get his breath to
working again he told the official that
he had come to see about the pris'
oner.
Glad you came down." was the at-
fable response Of the magistrate. 81
suppose you want to appear against
him"
well, guess not!" exclaimed the
victim with glad smile. Il want to
kiss him on the brow and give him
$40. Among other things that he stole
from the house was a package Of love
letters that 1 wrote to my wife before
we were married"

shown that the common tumbler or
other receptacle used for such pur-
poses is a frequent and dangerous
source of Infection. To employ such
a vessel on train at street fountain
or elsewhere is to take a serious risk.
A drinking cup which had been used
for several months without washing
in a high school was lined with a
brownish deposit which when viewed
under the microscope was seen to be
composed largely Of particles of mud,
with thousands of bits of dead skin
and millions Of bacteria. When a
small quantity Of this sediment was
injected under the skin of healthy
guinea pig the animal died in As
hours, the pOst-mortem examination
showing that death was due to blood
poisoning. A second guinea pig, I'M
der similar circumstances, developed
tuberculosis; and inquiry proved that
several of the pupils in the high
school were afflicted with the dread
malady
The rim of another drinking cup
used in a school bore no fewer than
100000 germs, while a vastly greater
number fingered deeper in the vessel
where saliva had dripped down.
The conclusions drawn from all OBJ
servations are to the effect that the
common drinking vessel is one of the
most fruitful sources Of the spread of
infectious diseases. Such mouth-to-
mouth infection, furthermore, is espe-
cially dangerous because of the moist
state in which the germ cultures pass
from person to person. Peril fingers

per-the kind that used to hang along
side the drinking place at school, and
which still hangs near the kitchen
pump in many farmhouse.
The mouth Of every human being is
a breeding place for multitudinous mi
crobes, and these are of many forms
and species. Some of them are rod
shaped; others are spherical; yet 9th.
ers arrange themselves in chains, and
so on through considerable diversity
of shapes. Even the biggest of them
are so small as to be seen only with
the aid of high-power microscope

CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND
Novel Method Employed to illuminate
Sacred Edlflce Near Birming-
ham, England.

Probably one of the most novel
methods of providing lighting for a
church is that employed at the old
Cosely church, situated a few miles
out from Birmingham, England.
About 800 feet from the church Is
the mouth of disused coal mine,
around which are huge piles of tail
ings. Upon one of these a steel tower
80 feet high is erected and a windmill
Is feet in diameter installed. At the
base Of the tower in a small house Is
an electric generator which Is run by
the mill. The current thus generated
feeds II lamps in the church, two in
the chapel, two in the vestry; operates
a motor for pumping the pipe organ,
and also lights 80 lamps in the rec
tory. A storage battery in the rectory
is part of this unique lighting plant
