MADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD"
A Common Expression That States
Physical Impossibiity.


MY blood runs cold at the very
thought" is not a novel expression.
You often either hear some one else
say it or aver it yourself.
Your blood cannot run cold as long
as you are alive and we'll If the blood
really becomes colder than blood
heat something serious happens to
your health.
When you feel cold 1t is sensation,
not necessarily the temperature of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
or away above its normal warmth you
feel chilly. SO much of the superheat-
ed blood is then at the surface Of the
skin that an extra normal amount of
heat leaves too quickly.
On the other hand, men and women
who drink beer, gin. whisky and SINH
lar alcoholic beverages feel the glow
of warmth and believe they are hot
when as matter of course their blood
is a trifie below blood heat tempera-
ture-at times manifestly a dangerous
thing.
True enough. the blood has much to
do with how you feel This, however.
is not because it elbows hot or blows
cold" but because that part OF it in
the skin where the sensations of heat
and cold are located reflects the out
side surroundings according to the pre-.
vious experience and habits of each in
diyiduars skin.
If a stoker and an employee of re-
frigeration plant are put in n cold
draft or before an open CRATE fire
each will feel chilly or hot according
to his previous experience and habits.
The stoker win "catch a cold in the
draft" which will have no effect
whatsoever upon the man used to cold

HELP THE CHILDREN.
Use influence to Pass Bill Preventing
Slavery of Young Children in
Factories of South

Promises to observe Child Labor Day,
January 20, 1916, to the number of
$500, have been received from school
superintendents, teachers, clergymen,
women s clubs and other organizations,
from many states.
cit is fortunate for us that Child
Labor Day falls in January, said
Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of
the National Child Labor committee,
because it is going to be big factor
in the passage of the federal child labor
bill now before congress. We are ask
ing all who are observing the day to
emphasize the need for action in be-
half of the bill and the result should
be an overwhelming demand for its en-
actment.
!|The bill will not pass the house
this year as easily as it did last year
because our opponents were not awake
then. The only opposition to the bill
came from cotton manufacturers and
only three of them appeared at the
hearings. This year advices from Wash
ington indicate that concerted action on
the part Of the cotton mill interests
and attempts to block the bill have al
ready been made. This means that we
shall need the help of every individual
who believes that the bill should be
passed because only by convincing the
house and the senate that public opin-
ion is not with the cotton mill lobby
can the enactment of the bill be Sc
cured. We hope that Child Labor Day
will bring US many new friends who
will not rest until the Heating Owen
federal child labor bill becomes a law. !"

winter weather will freeze out the
grippe germs but this cold weather
will also bring tendency for people tc
sleep with the windows closed and they
should be warned to keep them open
and get enough fresh air to keep the
children healthful. The conditions OF
the health of the city at the opening
of the new year are as satisfactory as
we could hope for with the epidemic
of the grippe on the job. If we can
get rid of it we would be in pretty
good shape"
Figures are now available for nearly
all of the larger cities of Wisconsin
and it is certain that the Kenosha death
rate is far below any other city of its
class in the state.
No idea of false security has taken
hold of the members of the board OF
health and extra caution is to be taker
during 1916 to maintain the record thai
has been won by the city.

WHO GOT THE COAT?
Did He Trade it in for Drink? Only
Venerable, Whitehaired Old Chap
Knew-He Won't Tell.

He was frail, decrepit looking old
man with snowy white hair and he
crept into the rooms of the Associated
Charities with a deprecatory air.
.Please ma am might I have some
work to earn an overcoat?o he mum
bled with a scared look as he was ush-
cred into the Office of Miss Louise Cot
trell, the superintendent.
1t was late in the afternoon and the
Offices had been scrubbed twice that
day to give work to men who needed
help and to whom it was deemed best
not to give anything unless they work
ed for it.
There was nothing more to be done
there, so Miss Cottrel called up the
city hall and arranged for him to wash
some windows to earn enough to pay
his days board and nights lodging.
She carefully specified that it must be
indoor work as she did not want one
SO weak and old to run any risk of be-
coming i'll from outside work or of slip
ping and falling.
Then, because he seemed so miser-
ably poor and old, and because the
sight of white hair reduced to beggary
is always a pitiful one, she picked out
nice, warm overcoat that fitted him
well and gave it to him before he
started on his window washing enter
prise.
And so, Celah! for the present.
That was one day last week. The
next day Miss Cottrell was calling in
the Methodist parsonage.
The doorbell rang. Mrs. Stair open
ed it and looked pityingly upon wan,
white haired old man standing SILVER
ingly before her in thin, worn over
coat.
HPlease ma 'am,' came wavering
voice, could you give me some work
so I can earn enough money to buy me
warm overcoat? This is so thin and
am so cold,' and his shivers and
chattering teeth emphasized his state
ment.
Inside, Miss Cottrell heard and rec
ognized the voice. She stepped for
ward.
"Where is the coat that was given
you yesterday" she demanded.
cit didn It fit, it buttoned way over, :"
he began. "Oh, no, it didn IT, she
reminded him. "We carefully fitted
that nice. warm coat and you were
pleased with i'll"
He did not wait to explain what he
had done with the coat nor the money
he earned. He just backed away and
out of sight.

HAS HAD A NOTABLE CAREER
Won Honor as Student in Several
Schools Since His Graduation from
Kenosha High School-Fel Mem
bers of Faculty Give Greeting.

Rev. Terence III. Devlin, son of Ke-
nosha, was installed as regent of the
Marquette Conservatory of Music, Mil
waukee, Thursday afternoon, at meet
ing of the faculty of the conservatory.
After his formal presentation by Rev.
Herbert G. Noonan, president Of the
university, the new regent addressed
the faculty, complimenting the staff on
the high standards and achievements of
the department, and pledging himself
to do all in his power to make the Mar
quette conservatory the foremost school
of music in the country.
The new regent was born in Kenosha
where he made his preparatory studies.
After finishing his high school course
at Kenosha and Sacred Heart college,
WatertoWn, he enrolled in the class of
1904 at Marquette University. At the
close of his Junior year, he entered the
Jesuit novitiate, Florissant, Missouri.
Four years later, having completed his
preparatory and normal studies, he went
to ST. Louis University for three years
postgraduate work in philosophy and
science. He then taught at st. Xavier 3
college, Cincinnati, and at st. Louis
University where he was for several
years chairman Of the athletic board.
In 1907 he finished his theological
course and was ordained to the priest
hood by Archbishop Glennon of ST..

The Kenosha Health Department has
repeated and the reports of deaths for
the year 1915 again puts this city in
line for having the honor of the lowest
death rate Of any city of its size in
Wisconsin if not in the entire nation.
The report of the health department
for 1915 shows total of 224 deaths in
the year. This is just one death more
than occurred in 1914 regardless of the
fact that the city has largely increased
in population in the year. This will
can a death rate for Kenosha of IA
each thousand people as the census
reau gives the population of Keno
sha for July l, 1915 as 30,319. Up to
the first day of December the report
for 1915 showed marked improvement
over The report for the forme- year but
the epidemic of the grippe and kindred
diseases had much to do in bringing
many deaths in December. In fact in
December there were % deaths reported
this being larger number than report
ed In any former month of the year.
I'VE regard the death rate for the
year 1915 as just little lower than in
1914" said Health Officer DIR. J. r. Nc
Shane in discussing the matter this
morning. "We had one more death in
the twelve months but we also had
considerable increase in population in
the year. The most serious epidemic
of sickness that we found in the city
in the year was the coming of the
grippe at the end of the year. This
materially increased the death rate for
1915 as while no deaths were reported
directly from the grippe there were
several deaths from pneumonia which
follows attacks of people with grippe.
AS to contagious diseases the record
for the past year has been a good rec
ord but We wished that it would be
better. We had three deaths from con-
tagious diseases. Two from diphtheria
and one from typhoid fever. The num-
Der of cases of these diseases has not
been large during the year but it was
slightly IN excess of the former year.
Conditions have seemed to be favorable
for the development of throat and lung
diseases during 1915. We have not as
yet made up the statistics of the NOR
tally among the babies but we feel
certain that this will show just as good
as in 1914 if not better The move
ments to save the babies have been
given a lot of attention during the year
and the result has been apparent. I
am hopeful that the coming of the cold

Formal Papers for Incorpor-
alton of County Society
Sent to the Secretary of
State This Morning.
WILL EXTEND ITS ACTIVITIES

Wider activities are provided for
under a state charter which was APP
piled for today for the organization
of the Kenosha County Humane soc1-
ETY. and number of the best known
men Of Kenosha are named as incor-
porators of the new organization which
is to take over not only the work OF
the old Kenosha County Humane SO
ciety, but which it is expected will
widely extend the work Of this or
ganization in the city and county.
The articles of incorporation confer
upon the Kenosha county organiza-
tion the prevention of abuse or neg
lect of children, prevention of cruel
ty to animals and the providing Of
proper means for the prevention of all
sorts of cruelty, for the protection of
children and the finding of homes for
them and to provide effective means
for the enforcement Of the statutes
and laws of Wisconsin in relation to
the foregoing. The articles also pro-
vide that the association shall be &C
tive in promoting the humane senti-
ment with the public and that it shall
have all the powers conferred upon
such organizations under the state
laws
The corporation is organized without
capital stock and exclusively for bene
VIOLENT and charitable purposes and
provision is made that there be no
pecuniary benefits to any of the incor-
porators of the association.
The charter provides that the board
of directors may appoint an executive
committee and this committee will
have all the powers of the board of
directors when the directors are not
in session. The appointment of an
agent to have charge of the field work
of the association is vested with the
board of directors.
The charter provides that any per
son residing in Kenosha county may
become a member of the association
by signing the constitution and by
laws and paying the fee of one dollar.
The annual membership fee in the as
ISOLATION is placed at one dollar. The
first meeting Of the members Of the
new organization for the election of
directors and officers is to be held at
the Offices Of Cavanagh, Barnes and
Cavanagh a week from today.
The incorporators of the new or
ganization are: Samuel S. Simmons,
Charles E. Skiller, Perkins c. Torrey,
Simon Gottlieb, James H. Karnes and
Charles G.. Brown.
The movement to incorporate the
Kenosha Humane society under the
laws of the state, is in keeping with
the plan that has been followed in
many other counties of the state. For
years the members Of the organiza-
ton have felt the lack of organization
and it is thought that the formal in
corporation will result in more people
being organized in the work and the
work being extended into new lines
James III. Karnes has acted as agent
for the society for some time and
while he has had the active support
of many people in the city and county
i is thought that greater support for
the work may be secured by means of
the state incorporation. 1t is expect
ed that the charter will be issued the
first Of next week.
