State to Establish a Home to
Take Care of Unfortunate
Children of the State.
$4,000 TO AID DEPENDENTS

Wisconsin may establish home for
the care of crippled and defective chill
dren, who are INDECENT. Senator Cum
ningham of Rock county is the author
of a bill to accomplish this, which has
just been given hearing before the
finance committee. The state board of
control is asking for an appropriation
of $4,000 to carry on the work of car
ing for these dependents.
Not until the last session Of the legis-
lature was any special attention given
to this subject. At that session law
was passed directing the board of con-
troll to take a census of cripples and
detectives in the state and appropriate
ing So 500 for the care of any who were
INDECENT. About dozen INDECENT Grip
pies are now being cared for in cot
tage at the home for dependent chill
dren at Sparta.
An information blank was mailed to
the $500 district school clerks of the
state, outside of the city of Milwau-
kee. The reports from the $500 dis
tricts that have already reported indi-
cate that there are about 1000 children
i'll the state of school age, who are Grip
pies. Of this number direct reports
have already been received from GIG
cases and of these 203 are INDECENT.
The report of the investigation as thus
far conducted has been fled with the
finance committee.
M. j. Tappins, secretary of the state
board of CONTROL said today that he
believed so per cent Of the children of
school age who are crippled could be
practically cured by treatment. He said
that the period Of treatment lasted
from six months to three years. Young
persons suffering with such deformities
s.s club feet, crooked legs, or curvature
Of the spine can nearly all be restored
to normal conditions
The reason why so many people al
low their children to continue as Grip
pies is explained by Mr.. Tappins by
saying that their parents do not under
stand that treatment will help. He
said that at the present cottage at
Sparta there was room for nearly sew
enty-fve children. An examination Of
the individual reports of the children
indicate that many of the parents of
deformed children are wealthy. Mem
bers of the finance committee are
evincing great interest in the data
that has been compiled, examining
particularly into the cases reported
from the counties which they repre-
sent. Wisconsin is one of the first
states to conduct an inve stigation of
this character.

Congratulations to the health com
missioner and the board of health!
With the announcement on Thursday
that for the first time in four years
Kenosha was without a quarantine for
scarlet fever came the realization to
many of the people of the city that the
health department had achieved what
they considered impossible. Consider
ING the hold that the disease had on
the city and the utter ignorance of
the necessity of taking any preeau-
tions against the spread of the disease
among the foreign population where so
many of the cases developed, it was
feared and with reason, that it would
was entirely free of the disease could
be made. The fact that the disease
has been stamped out altogether for
the time being is proof positive Of the
efficiency Of the health department as
at present organized. The scarlet
fever epidemic has been a bitter les
son in the folly Of half way measures
in attempting to cope with outbreaks
of contagious diseases, but if the les
son has been well learned Kenosha
will never again be called upon to pay
the price that it has paid for this
scarlet fever epidemic, The situation
in the city is not yet ideal by any
means, but feeling of security in the
ability of the health department to
handle any emergency that may arise
in the future has replaced the fear
and uncertainty of other days in humid
reds of homes. TO a great extent co.
operation with and reliance upon the
health department will take the place
of suspicion and downright disregard
Of orders considered necessary to pro-
sect the health of the community in
the future. There will be other cases
of the fever in the city, many of them,
one may be reported any hour, but the
report of the outbreak of a contagious
disease anywhere in the city will be
accompanied with the certain knowl-
edge that every precautiou to prevent
it's spread is being taken. The city
has learned the lesson that eternal
vigilance is the price of safety and
it has paid for that knowledge.

Announcement made Of mar
riage of Miss Frances Fen
Gil and DR.. O. E. Bellew.
MARRIED IN MILWAUKEE JAN. 20

The story Of the romantic marriage
Of Miss Frances Fencil, the we'll known
Eenosha milliner, and DR.. Oscar e.
Bellew, well known dentist of Mil
Waukee, which was celebrated in Mil
waukee on January Goth last, has just
been announced and after carefully
concealing the secret from their near
est friends and closest relatives for
more than five months, DIR. and Mrs.
Bellew are now fitting up pretty lit
tie home in Milwaukee. Mrs Bellew
left early this week for Milwaukee
to join her husband and formal an
nouncement Of the marriage is now be-
ing made. At the time of the wedding
which was celebrated at the home of a
mutual friend of the doctor and his
wife in Milwaukee, Miss Fencil had
gone to Milwaukee for visit with
friends. After the ceremony she re-
turned to Kenosha and continued to
WUlh With HGi ololcI III Inc StUI6 sUu
Wisconsin street. Later she was tax
en- i'll and the tender care shown by
DR.. Bellew during the time his wife
was in the hospital brought out the
story of the marriage. No cause has
been given for the marriage being held
a secret for SO many weeks save the
fact that the doctor and his bride de-
sired to have little surprise for their
friends and the illness of his wife
made the announcements of the marri-
age untimely until at this time.
Mrs. Bellew has many friends in Ke-
nosha and they will be pleased to ex-
tend rather tardy congratulations.
DR.. Beliew is one of the best known
of the younger dentists Of Milwaukee
and he is member of one of the old
Milwaukee families.

Apparently we are to have banking
and currency law at this special session
of congress; and in its vital particulars
it will be our old friend the Aldrich
plan under another name-much as
that plan itself was central bank
under another name.
The vital particulars are: central
concern for the consolidation of bank
reserves, for the rediscounting of com
mercial paper and for the issuance of
emergency currency against such redis-
counts in crisis. The Aldrich plan
proposed one central organization, with
fifteen or sixteen branches. The new
plan proposes fifteen or sixteen
branches, with a central organization
Whether it is better to start at the
circumference and walk to the center
or start at the center and walk to the
circumference is a point Of political
etiquette that no one need bother
much about. Whether the present
bond secured bank circulation is to be
retired-and exactly how-affects the
banks much more than the public.
So far as the new plan goes only
part way toward Capitalization of ulti-
mate banking power it is inferior to
the model from which it was drawn;
but SO far as it retains the vital feat
ures mentioned above it will be vel
come improvement on the present quite
headless system. In providing for the
rediscount of commercial paper it will
release the banks from their present
complete dependence upon stock ex-
change loans for secondary reserve
purposes. In providing for issuance
of emergency circulation against sound
paper it wilkgo far toward forestalling

Students Of the City Schools
Hear Third of Series at
the Schools Today.
OLDER CHILDREN AS MODELS


The third of a series of safety
First talks were given to the pupils
of the city schools today. The talk fol
lows:
Better safe than sorry.
That is motto | wish every one Of
you boys and girls young men and
young women) would take to heart.
These little talks on thought, and
lcare, and safety have deep purpose.
They are for your good. Their pur-
pose is to make you careful, and try
to reduce the awful list of street acct
dents, list that is disgrace to this
country. 1t is especially disgraceful
when it is realized that SO per cent of
these accidents are preventable.
By these talks we hope to make you
more careful; we hope to teach you to
save yourselves from possible accident,
from possible loss Of limb and perhaps
from death.
But we want YOU to do even more
than that, we want you to help save
others from accident. By far the great
er number of accidents to school chill
dren come to little folks and many of
the dangers which they meet, they en-
counter while trying to do what they
see or have seen you older people do.
Maybe you can do it safely, for you can
think and act quickly; but the little
ones who try to follow you cannot
think and act as quickly and SO they
get hurt.
And what they see you do today,
they will often try to do some other
day; and the result is another pitiable
accident, another little child crushed,
MANNED or killed.
So for the sake of the little ones
who are to grow up to fill your classes
and follow you all the way through life,
be careful. For your own sake, for
your parents whose grief will be ter
rible if you are hurt; for their parents
whose hearts will be broken if the lit
tie ones are hurt; for the sake of the
little ones themselves, be careful.
Be an example to the younger chill
dren. Keep out Of the streets, keep on
the sidewalks. Watch carefully for
cars, autos and teams. Do not try to
dodge about, among them. Cross the
streets at the crossings, not in mid
blocks. Do not play in the streets and
always keep an eye on children who
are on the walks; be ready to check
them if they thoughtlessly attempt to
run into danger.
| Join in this campaign for safey, for
the reduction Of this terrible, this pre-
ventable accident recorda record
worse than that of war.
Safe-not sorry. Make that your
motto and live up to it.

United States Shown.

r
There has been received at the pub
lie book containing the names of
streets in all the letter carrier cities
In the country and some interesting
facts as to popularity OF names are
shown. Keokuk's streets, for the most
part, seem to possess distinctive
names, several OF them being found in
no other cities in the country. There
is directory Of the streets of the
cities Of the country and 1t is helpful
book as shown by the fact that letter
addressed to person on Timea street,
Minneapolis was sent here and found
the right person because there is no
other Timea street in the entire coun-
try.
Main street seems to be the most
popular even in the larger cities, there
being more than 200 of this name In
the list given. But Keokuk has four
streets, Concert Blondeau, Timea and
Palean that are not found in any 'ther
cities. Grand avenue, Franklin, Full.
ton, Orleans, High Exchange and
