DR.. w. A. Evans, health commissions
er of Chicago, has recommended the
following method Of purifying water
for drinking to the people whose water
supplies have been contaminated by
the floods:
Take level teaspoonful Of chloride
of lime and rub it up, until there are
no Jumps, in a teacup Of water. Di-
lute this with three cupfuls of water,
and keep this stock solution in a
stoppered bottle for use. A teaspoon
ful of this stock solution, added to a
two-gallon pail of water, and well
stirred up, will destroy all typhoid or
other dysentery producing germs in
ten minutes, and will make the water
safe to drink. If this quantity makes
the water taste, use a little less, other
wise not. Get the chloride Of lime in
metallic cases.
The above receipt is one that could
be used by people who have no facili-
ties for boiling water, the precaution
that is always recommended whenever
there is reason to believe the water
IS unit for drinking purposes, and it
should be given a trial in Kenosha.

IN BUSINESS TWELVE YEARS
Has Been a Leader in the Wholesale
and Retail Liquor Business in Ke-
nosha for the Past Twelve Years and
May Quit Business Entirely.

ToFnlef mayor NJ, y. Dcn0ley, Tor bne
past twelve years agent for the For.
tune Brothers Brewing Company in Ke
nosha and in that time regarded as a
leader among the wholesale and retail
| dealers OF the city, this afternoon an
nounced his retirement from the bust
ness. On July 1st next his interest il
the Fortune agency in Kenosha will be
transferred to Charles P. Wallig, who
was formerly secretary to Mr.. Scholey
during his terms as mayor of the city
The new firm to handle the interests
Of the Fortune Brothers Company in
Kenosha will be known as Maurice and
Wallig, the senior member of the firm
being Peter Maurice, who with Mr.
Scholey has been identified with the
business of the Chicago brewery in
Kenosha for the past eight years.
In selling his interest in the agency
former Mayor Scholey will retire en-.
tirely from the business and will nc
longer be connected with the retail
business on West Market street. The
consideration for the sale is said to
have been in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
The deal was completed just after
two clock this afternoon and shortly
afterward the former mayor said:
Yes, | am going to withdraw from
the Fortune Agency after II years of
work and | don It know just what [ am
going to do. | have several propositions
in view but | think that the work that
| have had during the last ten years
entities me to a rest and | am going
to take rest of several months before
I go into any line Of business. 1t has
been a pleasant twelve years for me
and the people of Kenosha have shown
me may courtesies and | want to thank
them for them. Mr.. Wallig, who takes
my place has been with me for many
years and he knows every detail of the
| business.
The Fortune brothers business is re-
garded as one of the largest in the city
and lot Of the success of the company
here has been due to the energy put

Twelve years ago on Decoration day,
Mr.. Scholey signed his first contract
with the Fortune company. Then the
company had few scattered saloons in
the city. In the twelve years the BUSH
ness has grown to one of the largest if
not the largest of the kind in the city.
The agency now controls % saloons in
| Kenosha and the surrounding territory
and among the number are several Of
the best paying places in the city.
With the advancement of the political
fortunes of the former mayor his place
in the business world advanced and he
became powerful as leader in the
business in the city. The Fortune com
pany under his management has Sc
cured control of many of the best sa-
loon properties in the city and it is
said that the company now owns prop
erty in Kenosha valued at more than
100000.
The retirement of the former mayor
from the agency will come as sur
prise to many people as he was regard
ed as one of the fixtures of the business
in Kenosha.

MATTY"
WINS OWN
BATTLE
Worlds Series Receipts.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 9.-Christy
Mathewson, veteran of four worlds
series and more than a dozen National
league campaigns, pitched the supreme
game Of his lifetime yesterday and
achieved a personal triumph over the
Philadelphia Athletics In the second
game of the 1913 battle for the worlds
championship, but II took him ten in
nings to do 1t by score of to O.
with a team of Giants behind him
shot to pieces by accidents, forcing
three substitutes into important posi-
tions. Mathewson shut out the great
est batting team in either league for
ten rounds and drove home with
clean single in the first half of the
tenth Inning the only run necessary to
give New York victory. Nor was that
the only hit Mathewson made OFF his
ancient rival, Eddie Plank. who has
faced him in more than one crucial
combat in the past. Mathewson made
another single In the third inning and
put the Gettysburg graduate of many
years ago on the defensive for the on
ly time during the regulation number
OF rounds.
Plank pitched a wonderful game for
an old man who is supposed to have
passed the age of major league ball
singles in nine innings and was in the
hole only once. but the masterful hurl-
ing OF Mathewson against a team tina,
was far stronger in batting ability
STAYED off defeat until a single and q
sacrifice put a Giant runner in posi-
ton to count in the tenth. Here Mat
ty himself delivered the safety which
brought victory and evened up the Sc.
ries. The Athletics broke after tha
and allowed two more runs to score OF
error, a batsman hit. and another
single, but the extra two tallies proved
unnecessary.
Mtahewson did this in front of
team which looked hopelessly crippled
when. the battle started. Two regular.
were out of the lineup and two wer.
