TOWNS WITHDRAW OBJECTIONS
Somers and Pleasant Prairie Will FiIs
Separate Complaints With Railroad
Commission For Crossings-RaRwax
Company to he Heard Next

The hearing on track elevation in
Kenosha on the part of The Wisconsin.
Railroad Commission was adjourned.
again ON Tuesday afternoon when Com
missioner Harlowe announced that the
hearing would be adjourned until April
list at which time it is expected that
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany and the North Western Railway
Company will be heard The matters
to be brought before the commission
by the property owners were all pretty
well threshed out by Commissioner,
Harlowe before the close of the hear
ing Tuesday afternoon and when the
commissioner left for Madison every
one of the property owners desiring to
be heard had been given chance.
At the afternoon session Alderman
Kisten took the stand and urged
strongly the building Of foot subway
at Pearl street which would provide
that the street be kept open. He also
urged the change which would make
possible the subway at Garden street.
The plans of the company provide for
the foot subway at Pearl street to
extend west only as far as the tracks
of the company.
One of the most interesting features
of the afternoon s developments was
the announcement that the town of
Pleasant Prairie would Withdraw its
demand for a subway at South Park
avenue and the town officials dr. not
strongly urge the building OF subway
at Selma avenue. The town officials
of the town Of Somers also withdrew
all objections to the plans as submit
ted by the company with the under
standing that the demand of this town
for subways at the Birch Road and at
Fairfield street will be taken up with
the commission under an individual
petition. Chairman Herzog held that
the town of Somers should not mix its
complaints with those of the people of
Kenosha and it is thought that the
plan followed by Somers and Pleasant
Prairie will do considerable to clear
the situation.
Before the adjournment of the hear
ing Mayor Head was directed to file
with the commission statistics showing
the population of the city its area and
the lay of the property and also to file
some report of the number Of people
killed and injured in grade crossing
accidents. These statistics will be pre- I
pared from reports of the coroner on /
inquests held and hospital reports.
The officials of the North Western
company submitted to the commission
figures showing traffic at South, Lemon
and Garden streets during the week
that has passed since the last session
Of the commission in Kenosha. 1t was
a notable fact that the count made by
the company was in every case greater
than that made by the property owners
previous to the hearing. The officials
of the company, however, emphasized
the fact that the traffic was nearly
all foot traffic.
At the hearing on April 1st the en-.
gineers of the company will present the
objections to the opening of the vari-
Gus subways which have been demand
ed by property owners at different
streets along the right of way.

DECLARES LIFE IMPORTANT
Notifies the Physicians That They Must
Wait and Insists That Man May Be
Declared Insane Any Day But the
stork Only Comes Occasionally.

Now you fellows will just have to
wait. A man may be declared sane or
insane any day in the week, but it's
not every day that new baby comes
to a home and [ regard this as too i'm
portant business to delay even for the
order of a court. With this state
ment DIR. David Munro shooed away
the second delegation of physicians
who had beer called to pass ON his
sanity in Kenosha county. The doctor
smiled as he did it, but it was plain to
be seen that he felt confident that
there was nothing insane or foolish
about his logic in this case and he won
his point without a struggle. The ex-
animation into his insanity has been
postponed indefinitely, but Judge Tay-
Tor will probably set a new date with
in the next forty-eight hours.
The doctor insisted that this was
not a pre-arranged joke and Sheriff
Achen is able to testify to his state
ment. Doctors e. A, Taylor and w. G.
Mott of Racine, who had been selected
by Judge Taylor to make the examina
tion Of DR.. Munro following the fling
of petition signed by three members
OF the Kenosha County Medical Socie-
ty, came to Kenosha just before noon
on Tuesday, DR.. Munro had assured
the court that he would be on hand
when his presence was demanded in
court and Shrr.fs Aehra called the dne-
tors Office on the phone. He got no
response from him, but few minutes
later DIR. Munro called from the west
end Of Salem avenue. 81 guess you
will have to delay the hearing for a
while, he said, II am busy helping
the stork ont here and it don't look
much as if I would be able to get down
to the court house in less than 8 cou-
pie Of hours
The sheriff handed back the joke to
The doctor, but it was evident from his
conversation that he had an idea that
+" Old Doc Munro was trying to slip
something over He laid the facts be-
fore the judge and the court suggest
ed that the two doctors and the sheriff
got out TO the house and proceed with
the examination. The supposed patient
saw the party arriving and went out
on the porch and greeted the physi-
clans warmly. 81 think this is too
important case to leave for court
hearing, doctors,' said Munro, and the
other physicians quite agreed with
him. DR.. Munro invited the men into
the house to be with him and advise
him in his aid for the stork, but they
declined the invitation. Sheriff Achen
however, accepted in order to make a
full report Of the case to the court.
DIR. Munro at one informed the ply
sicians that he would insist on form
al hearing and that he would have
number of witnesses to testify as to
his sanity. The physicians told him
that he was entitled to this considera-
ton and at once returned to the court
room.
No date has been fixed for the ex-
animation. DR.. Munro gave no indi-
cation of insanity at the west side
residence and it is stated that the con-
fnement was an entirely successful
one and that mother and son are
doing nicely"

From this it will be seen that the

fact pair OF scales has taken the

They are the indicator of baby's condi-

by narcotics.
When any such emergency arises,
the process of weaving must be short

Der of the family must take the baby
away from the sick mother. II, as I
suggested in the third article OF this
series. the baby has learned to take an
occasional bottle of modified milk, the
tack Of weaving will be lightened. II
he has not been trained to do this, then
the process Of weaving is trying to
both mother and nurse.
The cylindrical bottle described in
an earlier talk should be filled with
modified milk and then set in pan OF
hot water until the milk reaches what
is known as body temperature. This
is tested by dropping little on the
forearm, never by putting the nipple
to the adults mouth and tasting the
milk. AS the baby drinks slowly. the
bottle may be encased in wooden bag
or knitted cover to hold the heat. The
hole in the nipple should be large
enough for the milk to run out easily.

alternating PORTO RICO.

The island of Porto Rico, secured by
the United States during the Spanish
American war and governed as pos
session of this country ever since with
gradual increase of the native respon-
sibility and power, is now clamoring
for complete divorce from the United
States and absolute self government.
Americans who have read figures show
ing that Porto Rico has waNed lat
under American rule, that the imports
have increased and the exports quad
rupled or better and that the island
and it's people are growing more pros
porous all the time, may be at loss to
understand this attitude of the island
ers
But there is a reason and an Amcri-
car who cast in his lot with the Porto
Ricans after the Spanish American
war describes it as follows: 1.-The
Americans as class are becoming
hated by the Porto Ricans who former
ly looked up to us as though we were
gods. The fault lies in the too clearly
expressed belief on the part OF the
Americans that they are of better
stock and of higher strata of civlllza-
ton than are the natives. The Porto
Ricans-the higher classes of course
are cultured people with money and
leisure. They are not strangers to
evening clothes and know when and
how to wear their dress suits. Many OF
the Americans who come to the island
either do not own or else have no
dress suit with them. Accordingly
when they attend a ball they appear
in a sack suit and make themselves
doubIy conspicuous by poking jibes at
the Porto Ricans who wear convention
al garb. They take the same attitude
toward the natives in their business re-
latiOns and seem bent on impresslng
upon the Porto Ricans the superiority
of Americans over other peoples. The
natives are of Spanish stock and are
ver- proud and naturally they resent
the very patronizing airs of the new
corners from the states. or course the
best Americans who come down mere
are not the ones that act this way, but
there are enough of the other variety
to keep the natives stirred up all the
time and we are becoming more hated
every day with the deep hatred that
only the people of Latin origin have

MODIFIED MILK AND CARE OF
BOTTLES.
(COntinlled)

.(Contlnued.)
Now as to the division of the milk
to be fed the baby. No bottle baby
should receive more than eight ounces
at feeding. His feelings are divided
into the same intervals as those of the
nursing baby. The delicate baby, from
birth to three months, is fed every
two hours from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m. and
once at 2 a. M; the robust baby from
birth on, every three hours.
All these instructions are for MOI
NAL, healthy babies, not for delicate
puny babies, These require special
advice, special proportions in modified
milk. ~.
Finally the selection and care of the
bottle. Here are the simplest and
most compact instructions on this sub
ject, prepared by baby specialist

CLEAN AND PAINT UP.

Last spring Ottumwa engaged in a
Paint and Clean Up" campaign which
redounded to the benefit of the city in
two ways; it made the town cleaner,
healthier place to live in, and 1t
brought Ottumwa some very good ad-
vertising. This spring, the national
headquarters Of the clean up and paint
society is using Ottumwa's accomplish
ment of last year as stimulus to get
like action in various cities all over
the country What this city did will
be pointed to throughout the United
States as an illustration of what a city
wide campaign for cleaner streets,
cleaner yards, cleaner houses and
cleaner lives will do. ~H
AS matter of fact. the records Of
the city's paint dealers show that the
usual spring sales Of paint and other
clean up and paint up material were
increased three hundred and fifty per
cent. In other words where one house
was reprinted in past years, over three
were painted last year; where one
room was repapered or cleaned in The
years gone by, more than three We're
treated that way in 1918; where enc
man concluded in the past to clean UP
his premises and freshen them with
paint or varnish over three did so last
year. ..E.
ThIre Is still room for growth in this
percentage however for it is not to be
thought for minute that every house
in Ottumwa felt the effects of the
clean up and paint up campaign OF
last year Some of those that we're
cleaned up last year may need freshPn-
ing up again this year, in fact probab-
ly will need it whether it gets it or
not, and certainly those that have sone
through two winters without te'ng
cleaned up and painted UP will need it.
It is to be hoped that the paint dca'-
ers and the people will get together
again and inaugurate a "clean up and
paint up" movement that will get even
wider results than the one Of last year
