MADE $3.50 AT RUMmAeE SALE
We1skopf School Sold Articles to
Hundreds of People in
tho Uiof1;+1z

To show how the bargains that are
to be had in many of the rummage sales
are appreciated, one needed only to visit
the sale Friday afternoon at the Weis-
kopf school. It was slated for clock
but at 1:30 the buyers had begun to
gather and patiently waited, some with
babies in their arms, until the sale
should open. Then they swarmed
up the stairs and into the room where
the wares were arranged.
Fine overeoats, oceans of slightly
worn shoes, rubber coats, warm muff,
hats, many cans of fruits and jellies
were among the articles brought by the
children and then disposed of to eager
buyers. So successful was the sale
financially and SO good means of get
ting surplus articles from those who
could not use them to those who can,
that it will be repeated again next
season.

of lonliness and neglect, it will come
as the best and most interesting season
that has been granted to us in all the
seasons of the passing years.
Organization has done much for the
extension of material charity in Keno

will do as much for the development
and extension of human sympathy in
our own lives and in the lives of those
about us.

MOTHERS PENSIONS UNDER FIRE.
County Board Considers Suggestion to
Return to Old Plan for Aid
of the Needy.

Mothers pensions were under fire at
the session Of the County Board on
Friday afternoon and the report indi.
Gated that the cost of maintaining the
plan would be considerable to Kenosha
county. A resolution passed by the
County Board of Jefferson county ask
ing the repeal of the mother pension
law was laid before the Kenosha board.
A special committee composed of
Supervisors Luke, Strangberg and Yule
was appointed to take the matter I'M
der consideration and make report
before the end of the present session.
1t is plannd to return to the old scheme
of having this relief granted through
town paupr officials. The entire time
OF the session Of the board this morn
ing was given over to the report Of the

TEAR DOWN OLD WAREHOUSE.
Last of the Old Balm Warehouses on
Market Square Goes Down in
Advance of Progress.

The last one of the old frame wares
houses of the Balm Wagon Company
felt the touch of the destroyer this
morning and a big force of workmen
were busy tearing down the section of
the frame warehouses adjoining the
Benedict and TarbeI building to make
room for a handsome new home for the
Northwestern Loan and Trust Com
pany. The Market street side of the
old building has been a favorite place
for painted signs and the people who
are lovers of the city beautiful are
glad to see the old building removed.
1t has stood for nearly half a century.
The removal of the old building has
been made possible by the completion
of modern and commodious warehouses
for the Balm company. The plans and
specifications for the new brick and
stone building which is to be erected
on the site have been accepted and it is
expected that work will start on the
building before the end of the year.

DIVORCE CASES MULTIPLY.
Report of Municipal Court Show Vast
Increase in the Number Filed
During the Present Year,

Here is another way that prosperity
is refected-in the divorce court. The
report of the Municipal Court clerk
shows that during the past year the
number of divorces granted in the
court has been greatly increased. In
1914 there We're twenty-five divorces
granted; in 1915 thirty-four, and this
year up to the first of November fifty
one. 1t is noted that in twenty-eight
of the ffty-one cases the people inter
ested were foreigners and in ma
jority of til cases no children were eff
fected. Many of the cases have been
brought on charges of cruelty Pros
porous times are blamed for the big
increase in the number of divorces. 1t
is held that the fact that che men and
women who had money made it possible
to employ attorneys to secure divorces.
In many cases the defendants were
never residents of this country.

DEER SCARCE IN NORTH WOODS.
Kenosha Hunters Come Home Disguised
and Few Deer are Brought for
Winter Supply of Venison.

Kenosha hunters returning from the
north woods declare that hunters are
disguised this year There is plenty of
snow and cold weather In the woods,
but no deer and about one in ten of
the hunters who went to the woods sue
ceeded in getting a deer. Peter Stein
bach was one Of the last of the Keno
sha hunters to leave the woods. He
came home early this morning and de-
clared that he would have stuck it out
till he got his deer had it not been for
the fact that there was not a human
being within twenty miles of the camp.
Calvin Stewart is decidedly proud over
the fact that he was the first man to
come back to Kenosha with a deer.
Returning hunters declare that people
from even the northern part of The
state are leaving the, woods on account
of the cold weather and the scarcity
of game.

cooPER's PLURALITY OVER $4,000
First District Congressman Gets Big En-
dorsement From Official Returns
of the Election.

Congressman Henry Allen Cooper of
the First Wisconsin district, was given
a splendid endorsement by the voters
of the district in the recent election
and the official canvass of the vote
which has just completed shows that
his plurality over Jay Page of Elkhorn
is 1920. Congressman Cooper had a
majority of more than a thousand in
every county in the district. Michael
Yabs of Kenosha who drives a jitney
and who ran on the Socialist ticket re-
ceived 884 votes in the district. More
than half of his total was in Kenosha
county. The official count of the vote

Receipts from Patients-ma7n-
tenance, laundry and Incl
dentals 81 ,343.41
Appended to the trustees report are
the reports of DR.. G. Windesheim,
visiting physician of the sanatorium
and that of Miss Constance Hayes,
superintendent
DR.. Windesheim notes that forty
patients have been cared for, eight of
whom left the institution voluntarily,
after stay varying from two weeks
to six months, some with, some with
out improvement. Two were discharg-
ed for not conforming to rules. Four
died at the institution, one within two
months and three within three weeks
of admission. One patient returned
home the second day after admission
and died day Or two later. One re-
turned after a stay of three months
and died a few days later. One case
Of incipient pulmonary tuberculosis
was discharged after two and one-half
months treatment with the disease ar
rested and probably cured. The
twenty-three unaccounted for in the
foregoing, eighteen men and five women
are classified as six chronic cass. far
advanced, who have been previously
IN other sanatoria and inmates of this
institution from three weeks to eight
months, all show improvement in gen
eral condition with gain in weight
OF from three pounds in eight months
to twelve pounds in seven weeks. Five
far advanced active cases, inmates
from two to seven and one-half months,
show Improvement in two cases, none
IN one and in two, loss. One far ad-
vanced and three moderately advanced
active cases with hemorrhages have
been inmates from two to seven and
one-half months and show some i'm
provement, with change in weight rec
ord from loss of one pound to gain
of four pounds per month. Two
chronic moderately advanced cases, in
mates from five to seven and one-half
months respectively are improving
with an average gain Of two and one
half pounds per month. Two moder-
ately advanced active cases, inmates
for six and seven and one-half months,
respectively, show marked improve
ment and gain in weight of 35
pounds each. One active moderately
advanced case, admitted three weeks
ago, shows improvement. One case of
chronic tubercular pleurisy shows i'm
provement. Two cases of chronic bone
tuberculosis show general improvement
Three patients had ulcers of the stom-
ach. These were treated with good re-
suits. Three patients had fstulas
which needed minor operations.
Considering the condition of the
patients when they entered the sana-
torium and the comparatively short
time of their sojourn, the result of the
treatment has been, with few excep-
tions, gratifying.
DR.. Windesheim s report says further:
"To what extent the spread of this
terrible disease has been prevented by
the establishment of this sanatorium
can only be conjected; the County
Board Of Supervisors are certainly en-
titled to the gratitude of this and

will clear the decks. Most drivers of

The freedom of the press is guaran-

the right to libel men at will and it is
to be hoped that the Chicago judge who
has started something will stick to the
end. Keeping newspaper free of libel
is real service to the profession.
