LONG PROMINENT IN CITY
Has Held Office Of Chief Of the
Fire Department, Chief Of Police, AL
derman and Last Served as Member
Of Police and Fire Commission.

Christian Schend, the last survivor
of the old official forces Of the city, is
very critically i'll at his home $50 Lake
avenue and members of the family who
have been anxiously watching at his
bedside for several days, fear that he
will never recover. Mr.. Schend was
stricken with paralysis at noon on
New Year IS day and since that time, he
has been only partially conscious. He
has lost control of the powers of speech
and his entire right side appears to
be helpless. While he appears to be
partially conscious he has been unable
to communicate with the members Of
his family. Mr.. Schend is eighty two
years of age and this is the second
time that he has been stricken with
paralysis. About seven years ago he
had slight stroke but he appeared to
recover fully from it. Up to noon on
New Years day former Chief Schend
had been feeling better than for years
Few men in Kenosha have been so
actively connected with the official
life of the city as Mr.. Schend and for
this reason his serious condition has
caused widespread sorrow. He was q
native of Germany but he came to Ke-
nosha when young man and had since
resided in the city.
He was a leader in the earlier days
of the city. He was one of the first
members of the Kenosha volunteer fire
department. and he served as chief of
the department for number Of years
He always took the greatest interest
in the affairs of the fremen even af-
ter other official positions brought
him into close contact with other
activities Of the city.
He served as acting mayor of Ke-
nosha on several occasions, he served
the city for several terms in the ca
pacity sof marshal, and later as chief
of police. For years he represented
the north ward of he city as mem
Der Of the common council and he was
president Of the council for number
of years. His last official position was
that of police and fire commissioner
He was forced to give up this position
on account of failing health.
Mr.. Schend was not only active along
political lines, but he had an active part
in the development of Kenosha and
especially the north side Of the city,
He has for years been one of the most
progressive citizens of Lake avenue
Reports from his bedside this after
noon indicated that there had been lit
tie change in his condition and that it
was very serious.

oiling the Path to Beauty.

The woman who has dry, hfeless
skin-which means, of course, an early
crop Of wrinkles-should hail the oil
bottle as her best friend for it can
supply to her skin what it lacks.
Twice week, before going to bed and
after a very hot bath, she should give
herself an oil and lavender rub. A
hot skin will absorb the oil at once.
IF the body is thin, let the oil mas
sage be administered gently; if a little
too fat, then be very vigorous in the
manipulation except in massaging the
bust. Here the movement should be
circular, following the contour of
the breast, and very gentle. Rub the
soles of the feet vigorously, for this
speeds up the circulation.
For fabby bust, an aromatic oil
mixture is better than the pure olive
OIL 1t has the advantage Of making
the skin white and smooth, as well as
of adding frmness to relaxed tissues.
You can prepare this oil rub at home
by mixing one and one-half ounces Of
oil Of sweet almonds and five grams of
oil of bitter almonds. To this add one
gram of benzoin, one gram of balsan
Of tolu, both powdered; and put the
whole over a very slow heat for
the entire day.
Olive oil, slightly warmed, if applied
to the edges of the eyelids at night
will aid in acquiring more luxuriant
eyelashes, just as its persevering appli-
cation to the line of the eyebrow viii
make much thicker brow.
Olive oil is used in manicuring-
sometimes the hands are soaked in
warm olive oil instead of hot, soapy,
water; but more frequently just a
touch of the oil is applied to the nails
at the very last and tiny pad Of alb
sorbent cotton is used to polish them.

neighbors and a physician was sum-
moned to the house. The remains
were removed to the living room of the
house and the physician after making
an examination declared that the old
man had probably died instantly.
Neis was widely known in the
Silverlake neighborhood. He was a
native of Germany but more than
twenty years ago he came to Sill
verlake to take charge of one Of the
boarding houses of the Bushing Broth
ers, pioneers in the ice business at the
lake. He remained with this company
until they sold out their interest to one
of the big corporations many years ago
and since that time he had been serv-
ing in the capacity as watchman
about the various ice houses at
Silverlake.
Justice Evans Of Salem, went over
to Silverlake and made an inyestiga-
ton into the death of the old man and
held that it would be unnecessary to
hold formal inquest. The attention
of Coroner Millager was called to the
case this morning and he may go to
the village late this afternoon and
make a further examination.
The deceased is survived by three
daughters. The funeral services will
be held at Silverlake on Thursday.

D. A. 3. WOULD ENFORCE Law.
Il the State Says Flags arc Not TO be
Used as Advertising Emblems
They VIII Stand by State.

The state law of Wisconsin says the
flag OF the United States may not be
used in connection with an advertise
ment within the confines of the state,
and the members of the Daughters of
the American Revolution have made up
their minds to see that the law is
enforced.
There is a certain seller of confec-
tons IN Kenosha who has used the flag
upon boxes containing candy. The d.
A. R. gave the manager Of the estab-
l1shment warning not to do this some
time ago. The manager protested ig
norance of the state law and the D.
A. r. representatives went their way
convinced all would be well. The or
ganlzation was filled with corporate
astonishment to find that boxes with
the flag are still being sold.
Therefore at business meeting, the
members resolved to warn again to-
day, and then resort to more strenuous
efforts, if like some governments that
employ submarines, no attention seems
to be paid to warnings.
The query arises in the minds of the
Daughters as to whether candy sellers
as class are less amenable to warn
ings than are movie picture men and
merchants. One movie man was warn
ed that he must not use flag on his
advertisement and it disappeared next
day. A merchant who had flag on
a cushion cover, used as an ad, was
warned and the flag was seen no more
They say the candy sellers case is the
first obstinate one they have found.

ROWLAND VS.. ANTON THE GREEK
Giles Says He Has Matched Up a
Bunch of Good Battles for
Second Show.

The Kenosha Athletic club will hold
it's second boxing show at the Rhode
Opera House on Tuesday night, Janu-
airy 18th and from look at the bunch
Of battlers that the club has on the
card the fans are looking forward to
one of the greatest nights sport of
the season. There is no doubt in the
minds of the most casual observers as
to what kind of milling makes a hit
with the people who support the box
office. They have shown time and
again that the boys who possess the
punch and start swinging from the
time they come out of their corners
are the ones that have the fans on
their toes. No one knows this better
than Matchmaker Jake Gles and for
pairing up his boys for the occasion he
says he has taken special pains to get
just such athletes, and unless all signs
fail there will be more real slamming
than has been seen in one night in
Kenosha for some time.
In matching Len Rowland and Anton
the Greek, for the main event, Giles be
lieves he has pair of boys, who not
only possess real class, but who are
always milling. Each boy has a good
punch and can use both hands to good
advantage. Rowland is the classiest
lightweight who has hit this section
of Wisconsin in some time and no
doubt will make the sensational Greek
extend himself to hold his own, as he
has had considerable experience and
knows all the tricks of the, arena.
The Greek, however, has proved that
he is mighty classy by either beating
or holding his own against the best
Of them. The harder his opponent
battles him the harder he comes back,
a style that usually brings the fans to
their feet. This will be the acrid test
for Anton for if he can hold his own
with Rowland he needn It be afraid to
tackle any Of the ightweights in this
neck of the woods
Tn Vincent Ketchell and Ray Way
worn, Giles has what looks like a reg
uldT pair Ill JuO LOU pUuHu CldSSs
These boys are comparative young
eters at the game, but their records
up to date put them in the comer's
class KetcheI was matched to fight
with Matte McCue at the last fight
but owing to mild attack of ptomaine
poisoning necessitated the substitution
of Andrews in his place.
Yankee Schwartz of Milwaukee, who
showed considerable speed with Red
Davis at the last show, will be seen in
the preliminaries with Jack Deming.
A pair of local boys who have as
pirations for boxing honors will open
the show. It is from the ranks of the
novices chat some of the best have
sprung in the past and Giles says,
who knows but what another will
spring up at any time The boys
are Earnest Dittler and Alex Christie
and will weigh in at 154 pounds.
From talk in sporting circles it
would seem that Gies has matched up
some boys in whom the fans are pref
ty much interested.

Figures That stagger US.

The stupendous cost of the world war
is strikingly illustrated by the fact
that Great Britain will have spent
$6,500,O00,000 this year and plans to
spend $4,000, 100000 next year. If the
war is not finished next year, even this
huge sum of $15,oo0,o0o,ooo win not
be sufficient.
This sum, $4,000, 100000, would al
most buy all the railroads in the
United States
1t is equivalent to an expense Of
more than $500 for every man, woman
and child in Great Britain S popula
ton of 45,0O0,oOo.
More interesting even than consid-
erations of what this money would buy
is the proportion that $4,000, 900, 900
in debts bears to the total wealth of
Great Britain. Economists say that q
really bad debt is one which totals
twenty-five per cent of total wealth.
Wisconsin and other American cities are
not allowed to contract debts in excess
of five per cent of the total value of
assessable property. With British
wealth estimated in round numbers at
$10,00O,000,O00, she would be able to
contract a debt of $25 10000 100000 on
the twenty-five per cent basis. This
would yield $1o,Ooo,0oO,0Oo leeway, or
enough to run the war for one year
more after 1916 before the acute dan
ger point is reached.

up against the national debt Of the
United States, which owes $l,oOO,oO0,-

fact, Baltimore shows clearings Of only
$34,000,000 for the week in 1915 as

TO ENFORCE new PROVISIONS

Are you going to Europe9 If you
are, you better see the clerk of the cir
cult court and learn all about the new
passports. 1t doesn' It matter whether
you are going to sell something to the
warning nations or just with the idea of
getting a sniff Of the powder on the
battle front Uncle Sam is going to insist
that you have a passport of the new
kind before you sail away from any
American port. Clerk Of the Circuit
Court DeDiemar says that about the
only thing that remains stationary un-
der the passport law is the fee. This
is a dollar but it matters not where
you are going you must spend that dol
lar with the government. The new
rules require that all sorts Of affidavits
be made by the traveller and he must
furnish the department. at the time he
applies for the passport three photo
graphs of himself. The new rules pro-
vide that passports will not be issued
by consular agents in foreign ports
and the American Citizen who is abroad
must appeal directly to the Secretary
Of State through the consular agent.
Several Kenosha people interested in
trade relations have been planning to
sail for European cities and they have
been held up pending their compliance
with the new rules governing the issu-
ance of passports. The Clerk of the
Court has received special instructions
regarding travel in the belligerent coun-
tries. These are as follows:
In view of the regulations now
in force in European countries it is ad-
visable that wives, children over nine
years of age, and servants should have
separate passports, applied for in The
same way as a passport for the head
of the family.
American citizens going directly to
France from the United States are re-
quired to bear passports visaed by
French diplomatic or consular officers
in the United States. An application
for visa should be made to the French
consulate in this country within the
Jurisdiction Of which the applicant re-
sides. The application should be made
at least three days before it is necessary
to obtain the visa. An American citizen
who does not 50 directly from this coun-
try to France, but sojourns in some
other country before visiting France,
should require Of the American or
French diplomatic representatives in
such foreign country concerning the
special formalities which it will be
necessary for him to fulfill before en-
tering French territory.
All persons entering the United King
dom are required to register with the
appropriate local authorities within
twenty eight days after arrival.
The Department has also been in
formed that rigid restrictions have been
placed upon all travel between England
and the Continent of Europe.
Admission to Belgium from Holland
is understood to be practically forbid
den to travellers from England.
Russian regulations require that the
passport must state definitely the names
of the places in Russia which the holder
expects to visit and the objects Of his
visits thereto.
For further and more authentic in
formation concerning restriction upon
travel in foreign countries it is neces-

Twice since he has been at the head
of the treasury department, Secretary
McAdoo has changed the method Of
making the daily treasury statement 50
that it shows larger net balance than
it would show under methods previous
ly in use. But even this has not proven
a sufficient remedy for the depicting
effects Of Democratic legislation. Mr..
McAdoo's own statements show that
during the week ending November u
the net balance dropped almost

scheming to study out bookkeeping
