People Of Kenosha are today being
urged to join the Wisconsin Neutrality
League and this morning hundreds of
people of the city received letters from
Charles L. Mann, the secretary of the
league, asking that they formally en-
roll on the league lists and at the same
time become boosters to neutrality.
It is not apparent just what interest
the people of Kenosha have in the
league, but many Kenosha people are
joining just to show their interest in
maintaining the neutrality of the
country. Here is the letter sent out
by Mr.. Mann:
To the Citizens Of Wisconsin,:
Your attention is called to the re-
Gently formed American Neutrality
League Of Wisconsin. The purpose of
this movement is to give added
emphasis and force to the proclamation
of President Wilson that the people of
the United States maintain the strict
est neutrality with reference to the
waiting udIIouS VI Europe; 10 GHo emu
that we may continue to be at peace
with all the world. Another purpose
of this league is to urge upon the gov
eminent of the United States to pro-
hibit the shipment of all contraband
of war to the respective belligerent
countries of Europe and Asia. Also
this league is to urge such legislation
as Will preVent Unlawful interference

Kenosha Choral Society are
Planning for Notable Pro-
ductiOn in Near Future.
OFFER WELL KNOWN SOL0ISTS

AS years have passed the popularity
Of "The Messiah has in no wise di-
minished, the experience of most choral
societies being that HThe Messiah =
still draws the largest audience of any
of the oratorios.
No other is so well known, and for
that reason as well as for musical and
literary reasons, none is so much
enjoyed.
In this performance, the work will
be shortened by emitting some of the
less popular numbers, and closing with
the Hallelujah Chorus.
The soloists will be Miss Margaret
Becker, soprano; Miss Gertrude Kas-
tholm, contralto; Alfred Kanberg, ten
or, and Carlisle Smith, baritone.
Miss Becker is one Of our most sue
cessful local musicians, and needs no
introduction. Her voice is well adapt
ed to the work, and an artistic inter
probation of these beautiful solos is
promised.
The other solists are Chicago singers
who are being well received, both in
church work and recital.
Miss Kastholm is alto soloist at
Union Church Kenilworth. Her voice
is of velvety quality and her singing
is always enjoyed. Miss Kastholm
has given two most successful rcitals
in Boston, and has appeared repeatedly
in Chicago and its suburbs.
Mr.. Kanberg is tenor soloist at
Sinai Triple, Chicago, and during the
summer has been successfully touring
as tenor with a operate quartette.
Carlisle Smith has bass baritone
voice of much fexibility and moderate
power. He has had broad church ex-
perience, having been bass 'soloist at
the Church of the Ascension, Chicago,
st. Marks Episcopal Church, Evans
ton, ST. James Episcopal Church, Chi
cago, and Union Church, Kenilworth.
Both Mr.. Kanberg and Mr.. Smith
as boys were choristers at the Church
of the Ascension.
The chorus has been augmented by a
number of former members, and with
the excellent quartette engaged, the
society should maintain the high stand
ard of it's former concerts.
Excepting few local players, the
orchestra is furnished by Hugo Bach,
of Milwaukee.
W. FL. Knapp, whose ability, both as
choral and orchestral conductor has
been so well shown in former concerts,
will conduct.
The move to the opera house will al
low the singers to be heard at better
advantage, and it is hoped viii result
in a capacity house.

Wisconsin Retail Gr0cers to
Seek New Law at Present
Session of Legislature.
TO MAKE EXEMPTION LOWER

Many requests for new legislation
on matters connected with their bust
ness will be presented to the legisla-
ture by the Wisconsin Retail Grocers
and Retail Merchants Association,
during this session.
Foremost among the bills, is the
proposed reduction of exemptions Civ
en- a married man from $50 to $40 a
month in garnishee actions.
eve believe that an exemption of
$50 is too much" said Michael Stat
terry, secretary Of the association.
Gov. LaFollette vetoed a bill of
this nature passed by the legislature
some years ago.
Other bills to be introduced will in
clude one asking the repeal of the law
forbidding collection suits against pub
lie officials, one requiring collection
agencies to give bond of $4,000 and
a law making wife responsible with
her husband for household necessity
debts. The collection agency bill, ac-
cording to Mr.. Slattery, is designed to
protect clients of the agencies.
cit is often the case that creditors
find it more difficult to collect from the
agencies than from the dead beat
cHents,'' said Mr.. Slattery.
If the United States courts hold the
Washington state trading stamp law
valid, the Wisconsin association will
take steps to have similar bill pass
ed here. The Washington law provides
that every county in which trading
stamps are sold, pay a license fee
of $4,000.
Attempts will also be made to
strengthen the fraudulent advertising
law.
A matter which will be guarded
against by the association will be pos
sible attempts towards Legislation MAX
ing it an offense for a creditor to gar
nishee man who comes under the ex-
emptions rule.
The officers of the association who
have been interested in planning this
proposed legislation are from different
parts of the state. The present execu-
tives are G. S. Singer, Fond du Lac,
president; S. N. Fisher, Appleton, first
vice president; A. w. Riegelman, Ra-
cine, second vice president; Michael
slattery, Milwaukee secretary; James
P. Davern, Milwaukee, treasurer; j. j.
Hellweg, Hayward; George Spindler,
Superior, and s. J. Schneider, Two
Rivers, trustees.

MEASLES DEADLY.

This is the season when parents
should guard against measles. In this
state over seven out of ten deaths, and
a proportionate number of cases, occur
in the first half of the calendar year,
or from January to June.
Nature-Measles is highly con-
tagious disease, characterized by .symp-
toms of a cold in the head and rash
which appears first upon cheeks and
forehead The general public and even
many physicians underestimate the
seriousness of measles, the complica-
tions of which make it one of the most
dangerous of the eruptive fevers.
The contagion (the germ has not yet
been discovered) is carried most com
monty by discharges from the nose, and
may be carried by third person. One
attack does not give absolute protec-
ton from further infection. Contrary
to common belief, there may be even
three or four attacks.
Symptoms The disease begins
(most commonly about fourteen days
after infection) with symptoms of
severe "cold in the head sneezing,
running nose, chilliness, cough, etc. The
fever may rise as high as 104 de-
grees F.
The rash, beginning on cheeks and
forehead in the form of red, shotty

the peoples now engaged in war. Any
legislation or official action by this gov
eminent which will shorten the war,
lessen slaughter, suffering, want and
starvation will command the hearty CO.
operation and support of the league.
A speedy termination of the war means
an early return of prosperity to our
own country, as well as to all the world.
These are the chief aims and pur-
poses for which the American Neu-
trality League stands. It is the wish
of the league that its membership in
clude all citizens from every part of
the state in sympathy with these aims
from every walk of life, and those
whose ancestry comes from whatever
nationality.
No dues are required. Applications
for membership can be sent to Charles
L. Mann, secretary, ia Farwell aven-
ne, Milwaukee.

dots, spreads to neck and chest. The
general symptoms and prostrations may
be very severe. The peeling usually
begins two or three days after the
rash appears.
Complications-Me itself rarely
causes death. Complications, however,
of which Broncho-pneumonia is the
most common and the most dangerous,
probably are frequently given credit
for causing deaths really due to
measles. Inflammation of throat and
of middle ear and intestines may oc-
cur. Measles frequently paves the
way for consumption.
Diagnosis-Measles is most likely to
be confused with scarlet fever
Prevention-As in all contagious
diseases of childhood, the patient
should be completely quarantined
Handkerchiefs, bedding, clothing, ETC.,
should be carefully handled and disin-
fected
Treatment-The patient should be
confined to bed in well ventilated
room, well nursed, and carefully watch
ed by a competent physician. The
period of convalescence is the most i'm
portant so far as the development
of the dangerous after effects is con
cerned.
The disease is absolutely prevent
able.

PLAN IS ENDORSED HERE
Great Fund May be Raised at the Gen
eraI Conference in Chicago to Provide
Pensions for Men Who Have Given
Many Years to the Ministry.

The effort which is being made in
each Methodist conference of the
country to provide for annuities for
retired ministers is Endorsed by the
Rev. Peter f. Stair of the Park Ave.
Methodist Episcopal Church.
A national conference will be held
Chicago next April for the purpose
crystalizing the sentiment of church
on the matter. The plan is to
vide an endowment fund of $780,
900 so that aged ministers and the
WIS and orphans Of others may be
led for fairly.
Joseph B. ldingley, chairman of
ard of conference claimants, has
led out a plan which will be con-
5red at the meeting.
Under the conditions of the system
very Methodist minister at the end of
.thirty-fve years service will be en-
titled to one-half of the average salary
paid in his conference. In the event a
minister retires after less than the
sthirty-fve years, he will be retired on
a pension proportionate to the years he
has been active. Every year of service
his supposed to count as $40 on his PEN
sion. The conference board has paid
to date at the rate of two-thirds of the
amounts due. This ratio holds good for
the country. In every conference at
the end of thiEty-five years the minis
tiers are supposed to, and most do, re-
5ceive an annuity of half of their
sewerage salary.
The Rev. Mr. Stair, who regards the
movement one that is very worthy,
states the Methodist church feels that
1T should look after its clergymen when
they reach the age when they are en-
titled to rest from their labors. AT
present each conference is doing work
along the lines suggested by the ma
tional conference, and it is thought
that after the April meeting all con
ferences will be joined together for the
purpose of providing their retired min.
listers or their families with annuities
gThe funds for this matter will be rails.
ed by the individual churches.
"There seems to be drift in the in
dustrial world to provide retirement
funds for old employees, and the Meth.
odist church feels the same way about
its employees" said Mr.. Stair. Gone
of the great problems of humanity is
what will happen to people when they
reach the years when they can no
longer perform the work that they did
in their more fruitful years. If every
man and woman were reasonably sure
that when they reached the evening
period of their lives they could be as
sured of the comforts to which they
are entitled, the world would in many
respects be different than it is at pres.
emit. Set the mind at rest about the
future and untold good will result"
The movement to provide retired
Methodist clergymen with annuities is
regarded with more favor than the es.
Enlistment of homes or sanitariums
When a retired minister is sent to an
institution of that character he feels
more like useless dependent than a
person who has richly earned pen
sion and it is for that reason that the
national conference will consider the
annuity plan.

The vice commission is not adding
anything to its popularity in refusing
to give up the evidence on which its
allegations of the existence of i'm
moral resorts in this and other coun-
ties of the state are based, and the
natural conclusion is that its reports
must be based on fimsy testimony.
The commission declares that it fears
libel suits, but if it is not sure enough
of its facts to be willing to defy any
suit of the kind, it should not have
made any charges.
