HEALTH BULLETIN.

Doubt as to the wisdom of closing
schools in epidemics Of contagious
disease is expressed by DR.. Francis
George Curtis, of Newton, Mass, in a
bulletin on the Health of School Chill
dren" just issued by the Bureau of
Education. He says: eff the schools
are closed when an outbreak occurs,
the children are turned loose from SUI
pervision; they mingle freely with one
another in the streets, on play grounds,
and in each others houses. SThey are
having an extra vacation and ENJOYING
themselves thoroughly and are unwill,
ing to admit that they feel i'll, lest they
be kept at home and prevented from
having good time. For this reason
they will not say they feel ill until the
disease is well advanced, and they may
be active sources of infection for some
time before it is discovered that they
are i'll.
If the schools are kept open and
the children continue in the class rooms
as usual, they are under strict observa-
tion and examined daily by the school
physician, suspicious and infected cases
being sent home for observation or
treatment
. In this way many children are sent
home before they have had an oppor-
tunity to infect others, thus reducing
the probability of spreading infection.
Further than this, the attention Of the
parents is called to the fact that the
child is feeling i'll and he is brought
under treatment earlier.
1t seems, therefore, that keeping
the schools open offers the best chance
of safety for the pupils, both collective
ly and individually.
Instead of closing the schools and
allowing the children to be scattered
and removed from supervision, when an
outbreak appears the schools should be
kept open as usual and the children urg-
ed to attend. The school physician and
nurse should be detailed to the school
where the outbreak has appeared and
instructed to examine every child daily,
excluding such as appear i'll or suspi-
cious. This can be done with very
little disturbance of the school work.
A note must be sent to the parent stat
ing that the child seems, or is, i'll and
must be seen by the family physician
Suspicious cases must be ordered to re-
main at home until further notice, and
if necessary, must be visited in order
to settle the diagnosis. Absentees must
be rounded up and examined in order
to find out why they have been kept
at home. If they are i'll, they must be
isolated, and, if well, urged to return to
school,
This, of course, applies to schools
in cities in which school physicians, or
nurses are employed.

KosCAK RETURN DELAYED.
Defendant in Dynamite Trial Will Not
be in Kenosha Until Sunday Morning,

The return of George Koscak, the de-
fendant in the dynamite trial, who was
expected to arrive in Kenosha this
morning, has been delayed and Koscak
will not be in Kenosha until Sunday
morning. Sheriff Stahl after he had
laid his plans to go to Waupun on Fri
day afternoon, found that it would be
impossible for him to get back with
Koscak until late this evening and the
trip was delayed until today when
Turnkey Al. Fries was sent to Waupun
for the prisoner. The attorneys for
Koscak were notified of the necessary
delay on Friday afternoon and they
were entirely agreeable to the change
in plans. Judge Belden will be in Ke-
nosha on Monday and he will undoubt-
edly grant hearing for any motions
that the attorneys may make. It is
possible that the decision on such mo-
tions will be delayed until later in the
week.

HELD UP IN Balm PARK FRIDAY
Mrs. Emil Rasmussen Is Victim of Two
Hold Up Men Who Attempt to Secure
Her Purse But Who Flee When Lit
tie 3-Year-o Shouts For Help.

"Don t you hurt my mamma" lit
tie Clara Rasmussen, just wee little
girl of three years, cried out up in
Balm Park late Friday night and the
cries of the little girl were more pow
erful in driving away couple of hold
up artists than whole posse of police
officers. Little Clara had accompanied
her mother, Mrs. Emil Rasmussen, who
resides at 563 West street, and who is
the wife of the manager of the Red
Cross Drug Store on trip down town
and the two were returning lone when
the attempted hold up took place.
Mrs. Rasmussen and her little daugh-
ter had reached the very center Of the
park when two young men came up
from behind some bushes in the park.
They walked behind the mother and
little girl for few steps and Mrs.
Rasmussen started to hurry on her way
home, fearing that the men were fol
lowing her. She had gone but a short
distance when one of the men rushed
up and caught hold of her and the
second man attempted to grab her poe
ket book out of her hand. Mrs. Ras-
mussen was badly frightened but the
little girl was quick to see that some
one was attacking her mother and she
began to shout Justify for hely. The
two men at the first shout of the child
released their hold on Mrs. Rasmussen
and started to run. They ran south to
Elizabeth street and when last seen
they were still going at a good rate of
speed toward Ashland avenue. Mrs.
Rasmussen, considerably frightened by
the attack, hurried to her home and at
once called her husband and he notified
the police of the attempted robbery
Several officers were at once sent to
search in the neighborhood of the
park but no arrests were made. Mrs.
Rasmussen declared that she was not
able to give very good description
of the men who attacked her, but she
declared that they appeared to be full
grown men and that they had been
very rough in their attack on her. 1t
is thought probable that the men man
aged to get out of the neighborhood
before the police were called. Mrs.
Rasmussen declared that she did not
believe she had ever seen either Of the
men before.
Balm Park has been the scene of sew
eral crimes similar to the attack on
Mrs. Rasmussen and it seems to be
favorable hang out for men who seek
to hold up women and children. The
beat covered by the police officer who
passes the park is long one and it is
very hard matter for him to keep
the supervision over that park that is
being demanded by people residing in
the neighborhood.
The police are still investigating the
case and it is possible that they are
following clews which will lead to the
arrest of the guilty parties.

PUTS IN ALL NIGHT SERVICE.
Western Union Tel. Co. Offers New
Service at the Kenosha Office Now.

Kenosha is to have its first all day
and all night telegraph service as be-
ginning on next Monday the Western
Union Telegraph Company will insti-
tute this new service in the city. On
all working days the Office will be kept
open during the entire twenty-four
hours of the day and on Sunday the
hours will be much more extended
than they have been in the past. The
establishment of the new service will
demand the employment of an entirely
new corps Of workmen under the di-
rection of Manager Miller and three
shifts of operators will be used each
working over an eight hour period.
Some time ago the Postal Telegraph
Company established eighteen hour
service in Kenosha and this service
showed clearly the demand in the city
for the all night service. The new
service will be of especial interest to
the manufacturers of the city.

bringing into the market OF the new
bed has not increased the cost of the
staple commodity as it is declared that
this better bed can be sold at lower
price than the old time metal bed.
1T is wonderfully big PROPOSE
tion," said President Simmons of tke
company on Friday. ssThe reception
that has been given this bed has amaz-
ed us. The big problem is to get space
enough in the plant to turn out enough
of these beds to meet the demand. We
hope to have this new building com
pleted within the next sixty days and
every bit of it viii be given over to
the manufacture of the new steel bed. !"
We could sell five thousand of these
beds daily right now if we could make
them,' said Superintendent Rudd."
There is nothing like it in the bed
making world and we feel that it is GO
ing to revolutionize the business.
The contract for the steel work on
the new building whilh will be 400 feet
long and so feet wide and six stories
high, Las been let to the Kenwood
Bridge Co. of Chicago. The brick work
will be done by local labor.
The new building will be located just
west of the Office building on Pearl
street and it will fill up all of the
space now occupied by the lumber
yards between the Office building and
the store building of the Bode Bros.
Co. plat at the corner of Main and
Pearl streets. On the completion of the
building the number of men employed
by the Simmons company will be great
ly increased. At present the company
has more than two thousand people on
the payroll and it is expected that the
number will be increased by fifty per
cent.

WOULD AMEND DENTAL LAWS.
DIR. Bowman Wants Dentists Who Adj
vertise Given Chance to Practice.

vertise Given Chance to Practice.
That the state dental law should be
amended SO as to give dentists who ad-
vertise an opportunity to practice was
the gist of an argument made by DR.. J.
j. Bowman of Milwaukee before the
assembly committee on state affairs yes
terday. DR.. Bowman charged that the
state board of dental examiners Illegal
~ required applicants for dentistry to
state whether they would advertise or
not and he said that the board twill
fully Disseminated against those who
advertise regardless of their education
al and professional qualifications. He
declared that there was bill pending
before the senate that under the rules
of the Wisconsin Dental Society would
give this board the power to revoke the
license of any dentist who advertised.
The Hambrecht bill, upon which he
made his argument, provides that a
man who has had five years Of practi-
cal experience prior to 1907 shall be adj
mitted to practice without examination
To this bill DR.. Bowman suggested the
amendment that would compel the
board to recognize the graduates of
reputable colleges in other states and
would also make it impossible to revoke
the license of dentist merely because
he advertised.

ORDERS U. S.
MOTORBoATS FOR WAR

NEW YORK, July 13.-The G.. C.
Smith Boat and Engine Company an
nounced that representatives of the
British, French and Russian govern
ment have asked that company to sub
nit estimates for the construction of
upwards of $50 powerful motor speed
boats for war purposes.
The craft are required to be strong
enough to carry two or more light
guns and are to be used, it is under
stood, in seeking out and attacking
German submarines in the waters
about England and France and in the
Baltic sea.
The plans call for boats so feet long,
equipped with 500-horsepower engines
and capable of a speed of so miles an
hour. AS the factory of the Smith
company is in Canada near Detroit, no
violation of American neutrality is
feared.

CLOSE LEASE
FOR CITY'S CEMENT PLANT

LOS ANGELES, July 13.-The lease
between the water department of the
city and the board of supervisors for
the MOnolith cement plant was finally
ratified by the supervisors and R. w
Pridham, chairman of the board, was
instructed to sign it.
Under the terms of the lease the
county is to pay per cent interest
on $550,000 for use of the mill; per
cent on $550,000 for depreciation of
the plant, and 5 53-5 cents royalty on
every barrel of cement manufactured
The lease is for one year, with op-
tion of five. If the county shall de-
eide to purchase the mill, the 2 per
cent paid for depreciation and roy
atty on all cement manufactured will
be applied on the purchase price.
The plant will be turned over to
Highway Commissioner Joyner, and
William Davidson will have charge
of operation. It is expected to begin
the manufacture of cement this week.
The city is to be allowed to pur-
chase cement for $135 barrel. The
supervisors expect to use the product
of the Monolith mill exclusively for
all concrete highways and bridges,
and to sell to other counties and
municipalities. 1t also probably will
bid in the open market.
About month ago the county
was the lowest bidder on 10000 bar
rels of cement for Kern county. 1t
was unable Ito make delivery and
Kern county had to call for new
bids. On account of the low price
submitted by Los Angeles county,
private concerns bid lower the sec
ond time and Kern county saved ap-
proximately $4,000 on the contract.
