by the police of all of the unlicensed
dogs in the city would go long way
towards decreasing the chances of a
"mad dog" scare in the city during the
heated term and might make it unnec-
essary to muzzle the dogs that are well
cared for and closely watched by their
owners at all times for any signs of
sickness.

EMPLOYS VISITING NURSE.
Metropolitan Life Insurance to Have
Nurse Look After Policyholders.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company has brought an innovation to
the insurance business in Kenosha by
employing a visiting nurse to look af-
ter the policyholders of the company
in the city. Miss Mary Rasmussen of
Racine, has come to Kenosha and will
give her entire time to looking after
the children who are insured in the
company. The plan is one that is
rapidly being adopted by insurance
companies who write policies on
children. 1t is claimed that great
saving in policies paid has been made
as a result of the services Of compe-
tent nurses in teaching the children
and their mothers the best way to fight
disease and keep healthy It is prob
able that the plan will be followed by
other companies in Kenosha later.

We are entering on that season of the
year when the mosquitoes are trying,
the flies are annoying, the snakes are
most menscing, and our fear of dogs is
the greatest. The season is known
as "dog days, and the reason for the
name is that for some strange reason
dogs are supposed to be in especial dan
ger of going mad. If mad dogs were
found to be especially abundant in July
and August it would be a good reason
to call March and April the log days,
since about that much time is needed
for hydrophobia to develop.
But there are no dog days. The sun,
the summer solstice, the July moon, the
torrid heat, the high humidity--none of
these has anything to do with hydro
phobia. January is just as much dog
days as July.
Hydrophobia is disease of dogs. 1t
can be spread to men, cats, skunks,
cows, mules-in fact, most all animals.
But it is not of Importance except in
two of them-men and dogs. A cam
paign against hydrophobia need not take
in anything except man and dogs; men
becSase their protection is our problem,
and dogs because they create the hydro
pho5ia problem.
The disease is due to an infection.
The infection locates in the brain. The
injecting virus is excreted by the saliva.
The virus travels slowly from the bite
up the nerves to the brain The Jour
ney takes time, more than is required
for any other germ. 1t may take three
weeks, it may take three months, and
it may take several times three months.
We have no laboratory test for hydro
phobia that can be applied in living
animal, be it man or dog. The veterin-
arian or the doctor can watch the symp-
tom and conclude usually whether the
disease is hydrophobia or not, but he
cannot get any help from the labora-
tory until after the sick one has died.
The laboratory worker can then take
the brain and, if he finds negri bodies
in it, can say positively that hydro
phobia was present. DR.. W. A. Evans.

The New Law Gives County
Board power to build Con-
Meeting Roads in County
CHANCE FOR SALEM AVENUE

The county board Of Kenosha
county will have chance to force the
building of roads both in the city and
III the towns Of the county under a law
copies of which were received by the
county clerk this morning. The new
law promises to be decidedly helpful
in securing the continued improvement
of Salem avenue. The new law gives
the county board the right to order
the Improvement of streets and high
ways in any city, village or town in
the county where such roadways may
connect with roads which have been
improved by the city or county so long
as the roads SO connecting are portions
Of the county highway system. With
the completion of the pavement on
Salem avenue there will remain q
stretch of unimproved road Of about
city to the point where the nlacadam
road built by the town of Pleasant
Prairie begins. Under the new law
the county board may direct that this
piece of road be improved at once.
The cost Of the Improvement may be
divided by the board, portion of it
being charged to the property owners,
portion to the city of Kenosha, a
portion to tl,e town of Pleasant Prai-
RE. Under the law if the county
board sees fit it can order the cost Of
the improvemen charged entirely to
the county. L, is thought that the new
law will be taken advantage of by the
Kenosha county board as there are d
number of places in the city and
{ unty where improvements have not
been provided to connect with the inn
proved roads of the county highway
system. It is probable that in most
of these cases the members of the
county board will seek to have the
streets improved under the plan used
in the city that is by petition of the
property owners to the common eoun-
ell Should the property owners de-
cline to act the county board will have
power to order the Improvement put
in. 1t is not probable that there will
be any clash of authority between the
city and the county in regard to the
Improvement of these roads as the
city will be glad to welcome any
plan by which the cost Of i'm
provement will be in part paid by the
county. However, there is no false
hope that the county board will ex-
pend any large amount in paving city
streets and as in the past the matter
will probably be left to the property
owners and the common council. The
law is already IN effect and petitions
under it may be acted on by the
county board at the November session.

1912 RELICS WANTED
Wisconsin Citizens Who Had Ances
tors in Battle Of Lake Erie Also Re-
quested to Communicate With
Perry Commission.

The receipt, as a loan, of an ivory
handled walking stick belonging to Mr..
Eugene Shepard of Madison, Wiscon.
sin, and made from a black walnut
timber out Of the flagship Lawrence"
of Perry's fleet, has suggested to the
Milwaukee committee for the Perry's
Victory Centennial celebration, that
there are probably other authenticated
relics of the War OF 1912 owned in the
state, and that it might be worth
while to try to assemble them for ex-
hibition.
The Green Bay committee also has
some relics Of the 1872 period, and
the Plymouth Reporter recently an
nounced the possession by clergy
man Of that city, named Perry, of the
Commodore's sword.
The flagship Lawrence" of Perry'a
fleet was exhibited at Philadelphia in
1876 and was carried away piecemeal
by relic-hunters. All sorts Of articles
were made out of her planks and tim
bers. 1t would be very interesting to
gather together large number of
these. The last survivor Of the fight,
the brig Niagara" has recently been
raised from her watery grave in Erie
harbor, and is now being reconstructed
for the centennial. The state of Penn
sylyania proposes, however, that she
shall not be destroyed as her sister
brig, the Lawrence, was.
Any one owning such a relic and
willing to loan it for such a purpose
under proper guaranty of safe return,
is requested to communicate with Mr..
Fred w. Dickens, Secretary, 7O9 Ger
mania Building, Milwaukee.
1t has also been suggested that de-
scendants of soldiers and sailors Of the
War of 1872, and especially of officers
and men (and boys) who took part in
the Battle Of Lake Erie, on either side
should make themselves known in or
der that opportunity may be given for
a gathering of such citizens. Mr..
Dickens, or Mr.. J. Nice. Bell, Secretary
of the Wisconsin Commission, 507
Federal Building, Milwaukee, will be
pleased to hear from any such de-
scendants. The Wisconsin chapters of
nish nucleus for such gatherings.
Cities holding special celebrations will
make special arrangements for such
gatherings.
Either Mr.. Dickens or Mr. Bell will
be pleased to send to any interested
person a copy of the complete official
roster of Commodore Perrysl feet,
some 533 names in all, giving rank and
ship. 1t was the list of the distri-
butees OF the prize money awarded by
congress for the Battle of Lake Erie.
The fact that nine citizens of
Wisconsin are known to be descend
ants of men who served on Perry's
ships, led to the idea that there might
be goodly company Of others. A re-
cent letter of inquiry to the well
known writer of southern stories,
Thomas Nelson Page of Washington,
d. e, brought the reply that the young
mldshlpmon, Hugh Nelson Page, listed
In the crew of the schooner "Somers,'
was an uncle of both his father and
his mother, who were cousins.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Rev. Henry Betting Well Known Here

lat the time of his death he was on his

son, the Rev. Herbert Betting, who re-
sides at New Brunswick. Mr. Betting

The summer resort season in the
county has opened in earnest and for
the next ten weeks thousands of visit
ors will crowd the lake resorts scattered
all through the central and western
parts Of the county. The resort keepers
are confident that this season will show
an increase over last and it is certain
that the resort business in the county
is now established and that every year
will show an increase in the number
of visitors. The presence of these sum
mer crowds in the lake regions makes
it certain that an electric line from
Kenosha through the lake regions to the
west limits of the county would draw
enough patronage to make it a paying
proposition from the start and that is
the argument that appeals most to the
prospective investors. The argument
that should appeal most powerfully in
favor of the building of a line to the
Kenosha merchants and business men
is that with an electric line they would
get their share of the thousands Of dol
lars spent every summer by the resort
ers. They are getting absolutely moth
ing now from this business that is only
waiting for proper transportation facili-
ties to reach them. No man can size
up the situation in this county with re-
spect to its lack of transportation with
out the conviction that great oppor-
tunity for the expansion of business in
all lines is being neglected.

three, he began by swallowing two;
then, calling his companions, shared
the three remaining eggs with them

In a motorboat. The most important

is thus proved to be the longest river
in africa. In 1909 the same Official
