The parents of the minor children
who work during vacation time have
become accustomed to the workings of
the child labor law and the offices of
the county judges are besieged by the
boys and girls in search Of permits.
The judges and the school officials are
watching the issuing of these permits
very carefully and are giving all APP
plicants to understand that these per-
lnits issued at this time are "vaea-
tion'' permits only and become null
and void on the first day of school.
The judges do not feel justified in re-
fusing permit where all of the forms
of law have been complied with and
everything is regular, but their SYM
pathies are with the children and no
sickly looking child who appears as
il work might injure him is going to
get any permit. There are hundreds
of homes in which the earnings of the
children during the time wh4n they
are not III school are actually needed to
make both ends meet and where the
ability to keep the children in school
for another year depends on their earn
ings during the vacation period and the
children Of these families will be given
permits on application, but it is the in
tention of the officials to use every
power that the law gives them to safe
guard the children as far as possible
and see that none of them is forced to
labor beyond his strength.

THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1918.

The county officials recognize the
right Of the state board Of health Or Of
the state board Of control to inspect
the county jail at any time but they
may be pardoned little natural curios-
its as to what caused the hurried visit
Of one Of the members of the state
board Of health on Wednesday. They
have not any idea as to who made the
complaint or the nature of it but they
realize that it must have been strong
one to move the state board to ilnme-
date action. The Kenosha officials are
confident thattnothing was found at the
jail to which any inspector could pos
sibiy take any exception and that the
institution is now and has been kept so
that there is nothing to criticise.

Health Department Urges
Proper Care of Milk Dur
ing the Heated Season.
KEEP UP CRUSADE ON FLIES

| Summer warnings are being issued by
the board of health in keeping with the
suggestions of the state board and
| these include renewed warnings in re-
gard to handling of the milk during the
warm weather, continued fight against
| the flies and mosquitoes. The order says
in part:
| Home care of milk begins when the
milkman leaves his ware in the morn
ing. Do not receive milk on the back
| door step. Flies, dogs and cats con
taminate its cap; in summer the sun
heats it to a perfect temperature for
bacterial development. Providea dark,
cool place, and insist that your dealer
use it. Then remove bottles to an ice
box as soon as you arise. Let the task
be your first each day.
Prior to removing the cap, through
ly cleanse the glass around it. Pour
only such quantities from the bottle as
will actually be consumed at each meal
then return the bottle to the ice box.
HUnconsumed milk from table
| should not be poured back into par
TALLY filed bottle. In fact, do not mix
milk--the mixture always descends to
the quality of its worst part. Uncon-
sumed milk from table should re-
main in its pitcher should be covered,
should be kept in a cold place and
should be used as soon as possible. A
better way of disposing of it, however,
is as sour milk for cooking and bak-
! ing.
milk, when received, should be
reasonably free from contamination.
| However, if you feel that additional
precautions are advisable, place the
bottled milk in warm water; loosen
the cap and heat the water to the
boiling point. Keep it at 81 nmering
heat for twenty to thirty minutes.
This is home pasteurlzatlon; 1t will
insure a practically sterile milk and
will not materially affect taste or nu-
tritive value. Boiling affects both.
uRut remember-the best milk is
pure raw milk. Pasteurization does
not remove impurities. 1t merely rem
| ders them more or less harmless, be-
cause it kills bacterial life. So do not
pasteurize unless you have reason to
believe it is necessary. Always pas,
teurize if necessary, and always pas
'teurize in preference to boiling. =
Kerosene poured in pools of stag
nant water which might offer breeding
grounds to mosquitoes is recommend
ed as one method of combating these
insects while the ever useful fly
swattero and care in keeping all food
and garbage covered are the best
means of fighting the fly.

Property owners are to have their

for believing that their assessments are
too high On June 30th when The first
meeting of The board Of review will be
held. There may be few cases where
the assessors have been at fault in rails
ing assessments but the sum total of in
crease made in the assessment rolls as
so far complied is fully warranted by
the natural increase in values.

It is true that there is an epidemic
of measles in the city but nothing to
warrant the exaggerated reports of the
prevalence of the disease. If the peo-
pie who have stated that there are two
thousand eases of measles in the city
get into calmer mood and lop cipher
off their figures they will come nearer
the facts. Kenosha has lot of measles
but so has every city III this section
Of the country 1t is a measly year,
anyway, and Kenosha is suffering no
more than other cities. There is one
thing that we would like to see done in
connection with the fight that the
health department is making against
the disease and that is to have the
health officer proceed in court against
some of the people who have totally
disregarded his instructions with regard
to the maintenance of quarantine regu-
lations. There is not the slightest doubt
that the present conditions are due al
most wholly to the carelessness of peo-
pie in exposing anybody and everybody
to the contagion and it is time to make
an example Of somebody. Instructions
issued by the health department for the
care of measles are just as binding as
those issued with regard to any other
contagious disease, but because measles
are not considered to be dangerous, too
many people apparently believe that
they are privileged to disobey orders.
That is not the case and measures
should be taken by the health depart
ment to make this plain to everybody.
There are no exceptions to the orders
issued by the departmnt for the protec-
tion of the health of the community.

GREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
Cast is an Unusually Strong One and
Presentation of Great Comedy is
Greeted by Applause Annual Com
mencement Exercises Held Tonight.

Members of the senior class Of the
Kenosha High school scored nota-
BILE dramatic triumph at the Rhode
opera house Thursday evening when
the annual class play was produced be-
fore an audience which taxed the ca
pacity of the theater. The offering
was "The Rivals" by Sheridan
Knowles, the play made famous by
Joe Jefferson and dozen other not
ed American and English comedians
and while it was just a little heavy
for the high school players it was
produced in such a charming manner
that it became one of the most nota-
BILE successes ever achieved by school
players in Kenosha. The play was pro-
duced under the direction of J. Leroy
Chestnut of Evanston and the cast for
the play was an unusually strong one.
The difficulty of putting on such a
comedy by students was wholly met
by Mr.. Chestnut and his selection of
the principals and the minor parts in
the cast was most happy one.
The settings for the five acts were
put on with an attention to details
that made every setting delight and
there was generous applause not only
for the players but also for the SPLEEN
did settings.
Lawrence Eastman was cast for the
role of "Bob Acres the famous old
Joe Jefferson role, and he certainly
won laurels by his comedy. Byron
Hill, as Sir Anthony Absolute; Herb
H. Curtis as Captain Absolute, and
Edward Nicoll as Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger, were especially featured in the
performance. Among the young wom-
en- in the cast were Miss Carlotta
Cooper who was most charming as
Lydia Languish and Miss Genevieve
Shields who took the difficult role OF
Mrs. Malsprop.
It would be impossible to comment
on all the happy features of the per

probation of the record breaking au-
dience.

was as follows:
