People from Washington island,
through their representative. Charles
Pofahl, asked that a einder rath be
built for the use of bicycle riders. but
the plan did not meet with support and
the suggestion was made that the prop
erty owners provide for the paving of
the streets.
There was long discussion over a
demand for watchmen on the crossings
of the western division of the North
Western Railway, but Chairman Gund-
ZACH of the transportation committee
held that the traffic was not sufficient
to warrant the demand and his view
of the question was supported by the
council.
The council voted to increase the
amount to be charged for connections
with city sewers from twenty-five cents
to two dollars. The money collected
IN this way will be used to furnish
proper inspection of these connections.
There was the usual amount of rou-
tine business before the council, but
adjournment was reached before half
past ten 0 o'clock. The members of the
New City club seem to have got the
habit of going to council meetings and
ten of the members of the club were
present at the session.

1t is not to be expected that all
water consumers will pay the new rate
without protest. but they have the con
ISOLATION of knowing that the new rate
is as low as the rate in any city in the
state and lower than in most The
water company was making money I'M
der the old rate, but the building Of
new intake and the large number of
main extensions which will be required
in the new territory recently annexed
to the city will require the expenditure
of large amount of money and the
commissioners have raised the rates as
one way of getting it. The invest
ments which the commissioners propose
to make are absolutely required by the
conditions and the commissioners
could hardly postpone making them un-
til the company earned enough money
under the old rates to pay for them
even if they desired to do So Certain
ly the fire at the Petit Mailing Com
pany demonstrated the need of new
: intake Immediately and it is good bust
ness policy for the company to extend
mains everywhere that the demand for
water is great enough to insure the
company a profit in supplying it.
When these extraordinary demands on
the plant have been met it win be easy
enough to restore the old rates if it is
considered good policy for the com
pany to do SO. The Kenosha Munici-
pal Water Company has been the best
paying municipal plant in the country
and the most efficient and the commits
sioners are expected to take any meas
ures which in their Judgment are neces-
sary to keep the plant up to the high
est standard.

At the last meeting of the board of
education it was decided to abandon
the use fthe lake water at the high
school building and it was proposed to
sink we'll on the school grounds to pro-
vide water for this building. What is
the matter with the artesian well
water? One of the best flowing wells
of the old artesian water system is To-
Gated within a block of this building
at the corner Of West Main and Wis
consin streets and it would be SIM
pie matter to pipe the flow to the
school building. Even if it is neces-
sary to put new easing in this well,
it looks as if it would be cheaper to do
that than to sink a new we'll on the
school grounds and the board would be
certain to have good water. A new
well would probably have to be put down
as deep as the old artesian wells be-
fore the necessary flow of water could
be obtained so what is the use of put
ting down new well when there is
one already to use within block. The
well is not being used by the water
company, although hundreds of people
come there daily for their supplies of
drinking water, and arrangement could
probably be made with the water com
sioners to turn it over to the school
board without any expense to the city.

MOTHERHOOD.

In Boston Woman's League has
provided a nurse to visit expectant
mothers every ten days The nurse is
teaching what these women should
know. She makes periodical examina-
tions of urine and blood pressure. The
latter is comparatively new test.
By means of it physicians secure more
accurate knowledge of the actual con-
dition OF their patients than they were
formerly able to get.
The number of premature and still
births has been greatly reduced. The
most remarkable gain, however, has
been in the threatened cases of
eclampsia. Eclampsia has been the
great source of danger to the mother
in child birth. In four years threaten
ed cases have been reduced from over
ten per cent to none. A reduction of
thirty-fve per cent in the number of
still births was secured. Under super
vision and ministration of visiting
nurses, there was over sixty per cent
decrease in number of premature births.
These patients were, it may be as
sumed, amongst the very poor. The re-
sudts, however, have been so encourag-
ing that the visiting is to be extended
to private patients.
The great lesson to be learned from
this is the opportunity afforded all
classes through thorough instruction
and close observation. If child birth
can be made so much more safe for
poverty stricken working women it
ought to be attended by practically no
danger in better class homes.
Expectant mothers should lead the
most hygienic possible lives. Diet
should be carefully regulated The
amount and character of exercise is
most important. Fatigue from excess
sive work or social duties should be
carefully avoided. On the other hand,
there is no warrant for prospective
mother s considering herself helpless
cripple. She should have judicious
training for a great physical trial
She can, and should, build up her
strength as carefully as a prizefghter,
runner or tennis player does, in prepar-
ing for worlds championship contest
Impure air is especially poisonous at
this time; coffee more so than usual.
Great quantities of water should be
drunk. Equally large doses of fresh air
should be secured, At least such care
as is given a race horse is a mothers
due.
Nothing in creation is more wonder
full, more beautiful, more appealing
than awakening motherhood. Most
people, at this time (even very common
people, express their veneration in
added understanding, sympathy, re-
spect, gentleness and unselfsh atten-
tions. These constitute an obligation.
Even more, they offer an opportunity
to secure lasting affection at time
when the recipient is unusually i'm
questionable.

both of which interfere with perfect
respiration and so produce low tone in
mind and body. This trouble is very
common among American children. In
some families every child is afflicted
with both adenoids and enlarged tom
sis; and unless these be removed,
there will be dullness and even stupidi-
ty in every member of such family.
Again, extensive Investigations have
shown that cigarette smoking among
boys is a very frequent cause of dull
ness. In number of places, it has
been shown that something like ninety
per cent of the boys who cannot do
school work are addicted to cigarette
smoking. 1t is 1eally deadly thing
for boy anywhere from twelve to
twenty years Of age to get into the
habit of using tobacco in any form. 1t
acts as narcotic which depresses
mind and body. A wise parent will do
everything he can to keep his boy
away from the temptation to use to-
bacco. 1t won't do much good simply
to command him not to use it, Il he as
sociates with those who do use it. Mere
commands are for the most part use
less. But if parents in any neighbor-
hood would get together and devise
practical ways of keeping their Boys
occupied and away from temptation,
they would accomplish vastly more
than to threaten boys if they smoke,
or to give them formal instruction in
regard to the evil effects Of smoking
Properly supervised public Fairgrounds
in cities are accomplishing a good deal
in this direction. The danger is often
greatest in small towns, where there is
nothing for boys to do but to loaf
around the saloon, the railroad station
the livery stable, and the barber shop
There is another very prominent
cause of dullness in boys and girls,
tea aud coffee drinking. Investiga-
tions have been made in some. of our
cities, and it has been found that when
children below the age of seventeen or
eighteen drink tea and coffee their eff
fects are more or less disastrous upon.
the action Of the minds. Nature never
intended that a child should use any
kind of artificial stimulant; and tea
and coffee are very active stimulants
for most persons, and for practically
all children. Keep tea and coffee away
from your children if you want them to
develop mentally in the proper way.
There is no excuse whatever for child
rem indulging in stimulants.- a~

The people whose names are on the
old personal property delinquent tax
lists are going to be permitted to get
away with it without any publicity.
All of Che old Lists are to be wiped out
and a fresh start is to be taken on a
new system of collecting this delinquent
tax with this year 5 lists. AS starter
on the new system, this year IS list OF
delinquents is to be published and no
tlce is served that this will be the req
ular order of procedure hereafter.
These taxes are to be handled as near
~ as possible in the same maner as the
delinquent realty taxes are handled in
the future and under the new arrange
ments every cent that is collectible is
to be collected. Enough of this prop
erty escapes taxation without letting
any Of the taxes get aw. after they
are once entered on the rolls.

1t has BEEN found, too, that con-
siderable proportion Of pupils are dull
because they have defective hearing.
This may be due to Accommodations in
the external ear, or it may be due to
congestion in the nostrils. 1t is prac-
tically certain that any child whose
head is stuffed up cannot hear with
distinctness, and it would be safe
bet that ninety-fve out of one hundred
such children will be more or less dull.
unresponsive, and stupid. Such child
rem will be handicapped in this com
petition with other children who are
normal in this respect. Any parents or
teachers who have dull child on their
hands ought certainly to make test
of the acuity of his hearing. Some
times peculiar facial and bodily habits
are due to inability to hear clearly in
one ear, while the other may be nor
NAL. In such case the child may I'M
consciously cock his head in such a
way as to bring his good ear into line
with the voice or sound he wishes to
hear. When any such idiosyncrasy is
observed, the parents or the teacher
ought not to delay moment in making
a test. 1t would be best, of course if
such child could be taken to a com
petent physician who would examine
his ears thoroughly, and also his nasal
condition, and who would test keen
ness of hearing. But a test can easily
be made in the home or in the school
by putting the child in a quiet room,
blindfolding him, and noting at what
distance he can hear the ticking of a
watch, first with one ear and then
with the other. The position of the
watch must be varied without the ex-
perimenter walking back and forth SO
that the child can hear him, or else the
latter will be influenced by suggestion.
One of the important causes of dull
ness is the growth of super1uous tissue
In the lower part of the breathing pas
sages, a sort Of third tonsil, known as
adenoid tissue. A child who is afflict-
ed with adenoids always shows it in
his features. The mouth usually hangs
open. There is an absence Of express
sion in the face. At night the child
struggles for breath, and never has a
quiet rest. Not once in hundred
cases will such a child be thoroughly
bright and capable mentally. The only
remedy is to have the adenoids remov-
ed by competent physician. In some
cities today, every child is examined
for adenoids, and for enlarged tonsils,

GET FORMAL OFFER OF PARK
No Action Is Taken on Offer For Sale
of Bonds Woods to Extension
of Broad Street Held Up Pending
Examination Session Quiet One.

The meeting of the common council
on Monday evening was tame and I'M
interesting and the crowd which had
gathered in the lobby expecting to see
something like democratic harmony
meeting" went away disappointed and
Disguised. It was just simply impossi-
BILE to get a rise" out of anyone dur
ing the meeting. Once in the meeting
the mayor grew reminiscent When
I was mayor BEFORE, he started, and
the crowd sat up and took notice, but
he got no further, as a look of pain
came over his face and he dropped back
into the dull monotony of putting
routine motions and the oratory was
lost in the response of the aldermen.
Alderman Kisten, the leader of the
insurgents, had gone away for a vaca-
tion and the quiet that fell over the
council was remarkable. Once or twice
it looked as if there would be little
real interest, but it " died abornin -
and the meeting was over by half past
ten without a single Grafton or with
out anyone's feelings being hurt.
The most interesting thing that came
up at the meeting was the decision of
the council to make changes in tax
collecting. All Of the old personal prop
erty tax accounts which have been held
open for the past seven or eight years
will be wiped off the slate and the only
effort to collect will be the taxes which
were assessed for this year. Under the
unanimous order of the council she list
Of delinquent personal property taxes
will be published, but this order re-
lates only to the names cf the men and
women who failed to settle for this
year. After these lists are published
there will be some more cleaning of the
slate done by the council and there
will no longer be lot Of worthless
holdover personal tax accounts to be
carried on the books Of the city. The
personal taxes which are unbelievable
will be charged to profit and loss and
next year the tax collector will start
with a clean sheet.
The people Of the city are going to
know early in tax collecting time just
what they owe the city, as the city
treasurer, acting under council orders,
will this year mail a statement of taxes
to every taxpayer in the city. The
statements will be sent out as soon as
the tax books are ready and in this
way every taxpayer will have chance
to see just what he owes the city and
make arrangements to pay it in the
time set by the state law. This plan
to bill'' the taxes the same as mer-
chant bills an account was strongly
urged by Alderman Conrad Shearer,
chairman Of the finance committee, and
it is certain that it will meet long
felt want III the city.

Kenosha people are pretty well ac-
quainted with the good work that has
been done in the continuation schools
OF this city and the really remarkable
results that have been gained in what
was, up to two years ago, new field
OF educational work in this state but it
is gratifying to have the high standing
OF the local schools generally recogniz
ed throughout the state. A glance at
the program for the state conference
OF all teachers and others connected
with continuation school work which is
to be held in Milwaukee early in
September shows that unusual recogni-
ton has been given the Kenosha
schools. Many men and women of ma
tional reputation will appear on the
program, but all Of the teachers con-
nected with the Kenosha continuation
schools will address the conference and

the flies lay on fresh manure from
Matching. AS tn fly maggots congre-
gate at the outer edge of the manure
pile, most of the borax should be
sprinkled there.
Borax costs to cents per pound in
1oo-1b. lots in Washington, and it is
estimated that at this rate it would
cost only one cent per horse per day to
prevent all breeding of flies in city
stables. If calcined colemanite is pur-
chased in large shipments, this cost
should be considerably less. At the
same time, if the borax is used on the
manure only in the proportions stated,
its value for use in the garden or for
sale to farmers will not be lessened.
In view of this discovery, there now
seems little excuse for any horse owner
or resident of city allowing typhoid
flies to breed in his stable or garbage
can.
1t is believed that this information
will greatly help the health authorities
in their campaign against the typhoid
fly. The health authorities have long
tried to prevent the breeding Of flies in
city stables through the use of iron sui
plate as a larvacide. In the case of
iron sulphate, however, large amount
is required, and other insecticides such
as paris green or potassium cyanide,
while effective in killing the flies, are
very expensive or extremely poisonous.
Borax, which is used freely in most
households, and is readily available in
all parts of the country, has the adj
vantage of being comparatively non
poisonous and non-infammable, readily
soluble in water and easy to handle. 1t
can be purchased at retail for 10c a
pound, and single pound used as dir
ected in garbage pail or open toilet
may prevent the breeding of hundreds
of dangerous flies.
The details of the experiments with
borax and other larvacides will be
found in U. S. department of agricul-
ture bulletin No. 118.
