To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with much interest and
pleasure the onslaught you are making
upon the horrible patent medicines
which are flooding the markets and
running the health of so many children
and grown-ups. IL is a wonder how
any mother of intelligence could ad-
minister a second dose Of the we'll

ing the very stupefying effects of the
hrst one. You are doing a fine work
which hope you will continue.

COLD BLOODED MURDER
After Belgium and Scarborough and
Whitby. Who Can Remain Neutral!

To the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: The Germans put the blame OF
this war on the Triple Entente. Italy
retiring from the Triple Alliance, for
togent reasons, is the living proof to
the contrary and gives them the lie.
And does any fair-minded being still
doubt as to the atrocities committed
by the Germans in Belgium and France,
after the cold-blooded murders and
arsons by their feet in those unforti-
fed towns Of Scarborough and Nhitby ?
To think that the Germans expect
our admiration and sympathy IN this
war and judge the Americans unfair
for not coming over to their side!
Who with red blood in his veins, after
witnessing such crimes, can remain
neutral? Only those lying IN the
graveyards.
Bat you have commented on all these
phases in your mastery and inter
esting editorials.

Paris Reawakened.

There has throughout been something tremen-
4 dously impressive in the way France took her
part in the great war Facing all the handicaps
which any democracy necessarily faces when
plunged into hostties, the nation took up her
burden with calm dignity and singleness Of
purpose very fairly exemphfed in her great
chief-Jofre le Taciturne, as they are calling
him in Paris. That dignity has been maintained
throughout The dark days when the govern
ment removed TO Bordeaux added touch of
g-imness 10 life in the capital but brought neither
panic nor dismay.
Now Paris is fast becoming her old self again.
The 'bosches" are across the Aisne. The gov
ernment has returned. And sign Of most mpor-
tance, the Theatre-Francais and the Opera

and the present one absorbing purpose color the
scene. II is, however, Paris expressing herself

PREJUDICE HAS DISAPPEARED
Committee Hopeful of Obtaining Site
of at Least Forty Acres in Order to
Provide Garden Spot For Institution
and Pasture for Pure Milk Herd

Chairman Louis r. Grosvenor of the
county board committee in charge of
suggesting a site and plans for the cree
ton of the county tuberculosis sani-
tarium is receiving many suggestions
from people in the county who have
land suitable as location for the new
institution and already the chairman of
the committee has received offers of
six sites in different parts of the coun-
ty. The old prejudice against the SAM
tarium seems to have entirely disap-
peared and towns which two years ago
seemed to be willing to fight to keep
the sanitarium. away now seem to be
willing to fight to get it and it seems
certain that there will be no protest
against the use of any site that the
committee may pick out.
The committee is going to make a
personal investigation of every site of
fered, but it is probable that sites con
tanning from ten to forty acres will re-
ceive the moss consideration. The
members of the committee believe that
the site should be large enough to pro-
vide for the future of the institution.
The $4,000 appropriated by the board
will provide for the erection OF sani-
tarium large enough to take care Of the
demands of Kenosha county for the
next ten years, but the committee are
looking further into the future and they
are seeking site which will permit
the erection of an institution to take
care of the demands of the county for
half a century.
The members of the committee have
declared themselves favorable to a site
which viii make possible the operation
Of gardens in connection with the insti-
tuition and they also want plenty of
room to pasture a herd of dairy cattle
which will furnish pure milk for the
inmates. With these plans the commit
tee seems to think that the larger the
site, in reason, the better it would be
for the county. Forty acres, however,
is set as the limit. The members Of
the committee seem to be of the opin-
ion that the same site might be used
for other institutions of the county, if
it is found necessary later.
The members of the committee are
going to move slowly in this matter, +"
said Chairman Grosvenor of the com
mittee this morning GIVE want to
give every person in the county who
has site to suggest a chance and
every site will be given consideration.
The committee will have some propo-
sition to offer the board at the Janu-
airy meeting and we feel certain that
this suggestion will make it possible
for the county to proceed at once with
tho erection of the sanitarium, so that
it can be ready for use before this
time next year. Several plans for the
sanitarium will be ready for presenta-
tion to the board in connection with our

and for the miss In her teens, fasci-
mating lines Of headWear have been
turned out. Those specialists who
look after the needs of children, up to
the time when they enter the ranks
Of young womanhood, have developed
this branch Of millinery until America
may be conceded to lead in point of
variety and to match In point Of excel
rence the products of all other coun-
tries.
In the group of headwear for little
girls shown here a bonnet and two
hats are pictured. The bonnet, for a
little girl from three to five or six
years old, is quaint model, suggest
ing the fashions Of hggone days for
grownups. 1t is Of velvet, with silk
facing in the projecting brim at the
front Thesbonnets of this type, with
soft, pulled crowns, are made OF silk,
plush, velvet, corduroy, and sometimes
OF coatings. The facings are in white
or Hght-colored silks, and the ties Of
ribbon.
Ribbons are depended upon to form
the small bows or rosettes which con-
stitute the main trimming feature Of
millinery for the baby girl. A ruche
is formed of it and sets next the hair
at the back of the brim. Little chif-
fon roses are setsin the ruche at each

veil over only the upper half Of the
face. 1t reaches about to the tip of
the nose, leaving the mouth and low
er part OF the face uncovered. This
saves the trouble of taking 1t off or
lifting 1t when it is necessary to take
a drink Of water or at lunch time.
Besides, the veil lasts much longer, is
more comfortable and in a good many
instances more becoming when worn
in this way.
OF the six samples shown in the
picture four are woven with square
mesh. In the other two the hexagonal
or honeycomb mesh Is used. Three Of
the patterns show plain grounds with
light border designs along one edge,
two plain grounds with scattered fig

tered cross bars. Plain grounds with
narrow borders are the most popular

RACINE COUNTY is BUSY.
Supervisors Join With Kenosha County
in Fight for Amendment of Game Laws.

Following the lead set by Kenosha
county In condemning the issuance of
hunting licenses to many who are un.
able to read or write English and in
many cases even speak the language
the Racine county board went on rec.
ord as favoring the repeal of the hunt.
ing license law and prohibit any hunt
ing IN the state for six years.
When such law is again put into
effect, according to the resolution pass
ed by the board, limitations should be
put on the issuance of these licenses
and all applicants should be able to
read, write and speak English.
1t is claimed that in many cases
foreigners manage to secure a license
and are under the opinion that they
are allowed to shoot on private grounds
That the practice is dangerous was
pointed out by Supervisor Tucker, who
cited the recent murder in Kenosha
county as proof.
Some of these men secure a hunt.
ing license, and armed with a rife
and a jug of booze they take liberties
on private property and its almost
dangerous to order them off your
grounds said Mr.. Tucker.
Many are of the opinion that the
license permits them to shoot every.
thing and anything everywhere they
co."
The resolution passed without dis.
senting vote by the board, calls on the
county's representatives in the state
legislature to take such measures as
will be necessary to repeal the law.
