Ted Miller who has just resigned as
engineer at the Kenosha water plant is
entitled to a lot more gratitude from the
people of the city for running his en-
CINE and running it with economy than
a lot of fellows who have held lot
more high sounding titles. He was
worth dollars and cents to the city.

The carpenters are rushing the work
on Willow Brook Sanatorium, but it
will probably be another month before
they will be ready for the installation
of the concrete floors. 1t is improbable
that the sanatorium will be ready for
opening before some time in February.
The dishes for the institution arrived
this morning and they are being stored
in the basement of the county building.

Kenosha was on the map again to-
day, and many people were reading
with interest Of the discovery of the
process for the manufacture Of analine
dive. The officials Of the Chicago
Kenosha Hosiery company were re-
ceiving congratulations from all over
the country over the achievement.

Of course the city is going to pay the
lion Is share of the county tax. It al
ways has in the past and it probably
always will in the future. That seems
to be one Of the penalties Of being a
city in this neck of the woods. You
can t find a county in the state where
the cities do not get the same dose.

newspapers Kenosha proudly points to
Miss Matilda Holmes of the Kenosha
Voiksfreund, the only German language
paper OF the county Miss Holmes is
an astute young person who shoulders
the responsibility of the general manag-
ership of a newspaper without its hav-
ing detracted in the least from her ap-
|pearance of being carefree maiden
with capacity for enjoyment which is
quite equal to that of the girl of her
age who spends her time in the enviable
occupation of frivolling.
But She Doesn't Say Darn.
Miss Holmes writes copy, reads proof,
sets type if need be, attends to her own
advertising contracts and does every
thing that the man manager of a news
paper might be expected to do-except
smoke a cigarette and use explosive ex-
pletlves when a galley of type pies and
things go wrong generally.
When other girls are studying
fashion books to get line on the styles
that are most becoming to them, Miss
Matilda is wrinkling her brow and try
ing to make decision as to which of
several new fonts of type would look
best on the front page of her paper.
She was drawn into the work gradu-
ally. She first served as bookkeeper
for her father and gradually got more
and more into the business. When her
father became i'll she assumed charge
and since his death has continued as
manager of the sheet.
The nice thing about it is, she makes
lit pay, and some men managers cannot
always do that.

Still Another Is Managing Editor of a
Newspaper and Part Owner
Knows Business from Alpha
to Omega.
What would Kenosha do without it

What would Kenosha do without its
women?
Without women in the home? Oh,
mo, that is too unexpectedly dreary a
prospect even to consider at all-in fact
we all know there couldn It be really
and truly home without a woman in it.
So we take that for granted as so
obvious truth there is no use discus
| sing it. But did you ever think what
Kenosha would do in its business life
without the working women9 1t surely
would miss some of them who fill unique
inches, sadly were they to disappear.
One woman who stands out from
among others in the excellence Of her
work and her efficient administration
of project in which approximately
100000 are handled annually, is Miss
Cora M. Frantz. Miss Frantz is Of the
| approved librarian type, with cor
diality of manner and a helpfulness
which make her valuable asset to the
popular institution, the Gilbert M. Sim
mons library, of which she is the pre-
siding genius.
Knows Source of knowledge.
She and her body of assistants have
done much to make the library vital
factor in the community life. She is
thoroughly acquainted with the books
under her care and whether one comes
to make inquiries as to how to plant a
garden, how to run steam engine,
where to get the derivation of word
which looks suspiciously as if it came
from the Greek, or to learn Spanish,
Miss Frantz quickly and pleasantly
steers him to the particular port of
knowledge where he will find harbored
the special bit he is hunting for. She
is the typical twentieth century woman,
calm, possessed of poise, efficient, spe-
cially trained and gracefully filing the
sphere which she has elected to fill.
Works for Les Miserables.
Another woman whose work and
whose personality are marked is Mrs.
Elizabeth Stikel, the city nurse who
works under the direction of Commits
sioner Of Public Health, J. J. Me-
Shane. Mrs. Stikel is one of the whole
hearted, merry souls whose very pres
ence is ray Of sunshine when she ap-
pears among the unfortunate and the
poor. She is sympathetic to degree
and has a warmth Of cordiality which
radiates from her and cheers those with
whom she comes in contact. It is part
of her duty to call upon cases of illness
reported among the public school chill
dren and to release children from quar-
antine after they have had contagious
diseases.
Mrs. Stikel has more than the or
binary experience of the trained nurse,
for she was first trained as a general
nurse, then taken i'll and sent to tu-
!berculosis sanitorium where she regained
her health, after which she took up
special tubercular cases ana finally was
made superintendent Of county hos
pital for the tuberculous in the East.
Il was after her experience there that
she was brought to Kenosha to do visit
ing nursing.

Time Table A. B. G. for Her.

She has mastered the mysteries of the
time table which most women shy away
from as they would from an attempt to
learn the heiroglyphics on the pyramids.
When a traveller wants information as
to trains, she rattles off the Kenosha
time table with the ease of a student
reciting the alphabet; but If it is con-
INJECTIONS in Chicago for the south, New
York or San Francisco, she consults her
time table, and, presto! the information
is forthcoming.

Travellers Like Her.

This city is one of the few that boast
a woman hotel clerk in hotel of any
size. Women have tried it in other
places. Usually their health breaks I'M
der the strenuous life behind the desk,
or they have not the tact and the judg-
ment to meet the exigencies which are
the daily routine Of the hotel clerk, with
necessary GOODNESS.
At the Hotel haywood, Miss Title
Richter is an important person. In the
absence of the manager, she acts as
manager. When her employer is there,
size relieves him Of much Of his care
and many Of his worries. She meets
tho travelling public with c businesslike
air combined with just the right degree
of cordiality to give it the impression
that she is a young person who knows
exactly how a hostelry should be con-
Quoted and has the inclination and the
necessary ability to make its stay in
the hotel comfortable and pleasant.
