Kenosha, who fell while LEADING his
men in desperate assault on the fort
ress of Churubusco. On the morning
OF the attack, upon his own request.
Captain Quarles had been assigned a
post upon the right of his regiment.
where the heaviest resistance from the
intrenched Mexieans was expected. In
the charge he had proceeded part way
up the slope, and was in the act of
waving his sword to inspirit his com
pany, when bullet struck him down.
His men continued the charge and
gloriously routed the foe, while
Quarles was borne dying to an adjacent
hacienda. Here after assuring his gen
eral that he was proud to give his life
for his country, he expired His body
was brought to Kenosha, where it was
inferred amid imposing ceremony.

Reports.
London, Aug. Russian troops adj
vancing toward Kovel have crossed the
Stokhod River, along the whole
stretch between the Sarny-Kovel and
the Kovel-Rojitche railroads, SAYS
Reuters Petrograd correspondent.
Several days ago it was announced
that the Russians controlled both
sides of the Stokhod at Sulevitchi.
and were bridging the river. This
was taken to indicate that a mass at
tack on Kovel, in Volhynia, was con-
templated, and the Reuter- dispatch
implies that troops are pouring over
the stream to storm the city.
Vienna has admitted that the last
of the Austro-Hungarian defenders of
the river at this point have been
forced to withdraw over the Stokhod,
and the fact that the cars army is
so completely in possession of this por-
ton of the river is believed to mean
that the Teutonic army is in full re-
treat upon Kovel, the Russian obiec.

HEALTH HINTS FOR BABY.
Things To Do and Not TO DO for Baby
as Prescribed to Mothers by the Med
ical Authority of Large City.

If you would keep your baby well
and the grim reaper" away from your
door pay just little more attention to
baby than you have been in the habit
of doing. Don t think that because
you have had several babies in your
home that you know of all the things
that are good for them and all the
things that are not. You may know a
good many, but just take it for granted
that there are a good many more that
you do not. Don t sheer at the advice
given by men who have given wears
and are giving their lives to the study
of the human body, it's needs and its
ills. Don It think that because the ad-
vice is given free that it is cheap. a
good many things are sometimes given
away that can It be bought for money
ana the doctors who are trying to help
save your baby are men whose charac-
ters are big enough to enable them to
see In their professions something
greater and beyond the dollar signl
You don't tell the plumber how to
lay the pipes, the piano tuner how to
tune the instrument, the architect how
to design your house, but it IS not at all
uncommon for mother to saw to the
doctor she has called in-remember he
doesn t infiict his visits on you unless
you send him S. 0. S." But doctor,
| always give him this or that
Ii you always do so and So why on
earth didn' It you do it this time and if
1T generally helps, why poster the doc
tor at ALE On the other hand. If Won
always do so and so and if it generally
ends up In your having to call the doc
Tor, why In the name of common sense
don't you just for once do as he pre.
scribesR He learned his business Won
know, else he would not be CHARGING
you for the information he hands out.
Worth Knowing.
Don t wean the baby in summer.
If bottle-fed be sure to keep bottle
end nipple absolutely clean.
Nipples not in use should be kent in
a solution of boric acid.
Keep flies away from the baby, its
food and its belongings.
See to it that the baby puts nothing
into its mouth but its food.
Give it plenty of cooled, boiled water
to drink.
Sponge it two or three times daily in
addition to its regular bath. The less
clothing, the better.
Keep the baby clean. Napkins should
be changed frequently, just as soon as
soiled. Chafed parts should be busted
freely with talcum powder.
Don't handle the baby too much
Let 1T lie on mattress or blanket in a
cool place, preferably on the porch. in
the yard or park.
If there is vomiting or diarrhoea
stop all feeding and give only boiled
water or cooled barley water, and pre-
ferably call in physician at once.
Be sure to keep the house clean and
screened against flies.
Garbage should be wrapped. Soiled
napkins should be placed in a covered
receptacle until washed

CITY PAVILION TOO FAR AWAY
Hundreds of Children Would Appreciate
Not Having to Dress in Open or Take
Walk so Long That Result of Bath
ing Is Lost Before Getting Home.

Anyone not living within walking
distance of the municipal lighthouses
will agree that the one thing that Ke-
nosha needs is a bathing pavilion on
the south side. How much the little
dressing rooms are needed in that vi
cinity can be seen all during the hot
spells by the scores and scores of peo-
pie that are strung along the water s
edge for distance of more than three
miles. Men and women and children,
not wishing to initiate September Morn,
crouch behind the sandbanks while get
ting into their bathing suits.
From the south side to the bathing
beach is a good long stretch to go when
the weather is sizzling, but the going
ism It as bad as the coming back. At
the end of the going, there awaits one
the nice cool waves of Lake Michigan
that is, if the bath houses aren t so
rushed that there is no getting locker
but the home going is another story.
Of what good the bathing if one has to
trolley back so long distance that one
is SO tired and sweating on reaching
home that one Immediately has to
scramble into the bathtub to get re-
freshed?
Living on Eagle street, know just
how much a bathing pavilion, or bath
houses along the lake on the south side
would be appreciated, said David
Fogwell every often rather than
take the none too short journey to the
city pavilion, too have made use Of
the sandbanks.
Hundreds of people use those banks
for dressing rooms each summer. In
fact larger nrmher than is thought
for, but because they are strung out
over rrch long stretch of territory
they may to some people not seem so
many.
The kiddies of the south side alone
could well make use Of a bathhouse.
Many of them now of course 90 to
Washington Island, but there are many
who do not go on account of the dist
ance and who would be able to 90 had
they place nearer their homes. From
Market street, south and the railroad
tracks east, we can count over 900 chill
dren who attend the ,Durkee School;
several hundred more can be counted
from the ST. James population, which
average shows how large alone are the
little ones that would appreciate a
Washington Island On the south side.
More people than ever before are
taking to water sports and our "beach
picnic" Saturday was one big success.
The boys are very enthusiastic about

marathon to be held in Milwaukee on

to get busy at once. On August 70. we
will hold a one mile race to get a line
on the boys good enough to send to

The fishermen say the crop is in

afforded by the bill passed by the gen
