MAY BUY new SCHOOL SITE
New Lincoln School to Be Opened About
Middle of November and Two-day
Reception Will Be Held to Give
People Chance to See Building.

The Board of Education is going to
fight for it's budget" At a meeting
on Tuesday night the school commits.
sioners unanimously voted to insist
that the council appropriate for the
schools for the coming year the $157, 200
demanded in the budget filed with the
council in keeping with the provisions
of the state law. What is more, the
board directed that an attorney be
employed to aid in the insistent de.
mand for the School Board rights be-
fore the council and if necessary the
matter is to get into court.
The members Of the board are anxi.
GUS to know just what power the
School Board has to make up an annual
budget. If it has power to insist that
the council raise the amount it deems
necessary for the support of the schools
it wants to know it. IF on the other
hand the council may cut this budget
at will the members Of the board want
to be so advised. The question is one
just about as old as the city charter
and the present board wants to get a
final decision in the matter. The mem
,bers Of the board held that the
1851 was not suA;uierst 10 meet ,he
demand Of the schools and If there il
any possible way the board would add
the sum of $4,000 to the amount in
order to pay for needed improvements.
It is expected that the battle will
be on in earnest at the meeting Of the
council on next Monday evening when
the report of the council finance COM
mittee recommending an appropriation
of $4,000 is presented.
Look for School Site.
The members of the board spent some
time discussing the necessity of the
purchase of another school site, either
in the west or northwest portion of
the city to be used in the future for the
location of a grade school. The board
has made considerable money in the
past by anticipating demands for prop
erty of this kind and this is what is
suggested at this time. The board has
no sites in view and no options, but the
committee will look over vacant prop
erty and if site can be secured at
what is considered fair price the pur-
chase will be made later in the year.
Tt will be several years before the new
building win be built, but with the
advancing prices in real estate the
members of the board feel that now is
the time to provide site.
Tt was announced at the meeting
of the board that the new Lincoln
School would be ready for occupancy
about the middle of November AS this
is the largest school ever built in Ke-
nosha it is planned to make the open
ing of it something of social event.
A two day reception will be held with
the members of the Board of Education
and many other officials in the receiv-
ing line and the people of the city will
be given a chance to examine the new
building before it is turned over for
the use of the children.
The board by vote of eleven to
four declined to purchase the Goldberg
Coliseum. There was the usual amount
of routine business for the board and
the meeting was an extended one.

to sustain life. It differed from that
given the other eonvicts merely IN
the absence of meats, milk, eggs,
beans. as, and similar proteid foods.
In every other particular the con-
victs selected for the experiment were
treated exactly as were the remain
ing eonvicts. They had the same
routine work and discipline, the
same periods of recreation and the
same water to drink. Their quarters
were better than those of the other
eonvicts. The diet given them con-
sisted Of biscuits, fried mush, grits
and brown gravy, syrup, corn bread
cabbage, sweet potatoes, rice, collards
and coffee with sugar. All compon-
ents of the dietary were of the best
quality and were properly cooked. AS
a preliminary, and to determine II the
convicts were afflicted with any other
disease, they were kent under obser-
walton from Feb uary to April .,
two and half months, on which date
the one-sided diet was begun.
Although the occurrence OF nervous
symptoms and gastro-inteestinal dis
turbances was noted early, it WIS not
until September IL, or about five
months after the beginning of the
restricted diet. that the skin symp-
toms so characteristic to pellagra
began to develop These symptoms
are considered as typical every pre-
caution being taken to make sure
that thew were not caused by any
her disease. The eonvicts upon
whom the experiment was being
made, as we'll as twenty other con-
victs who were selected as controls,
were kept under continuous medical
surveillance. No cases of pellagra
developed in camp excepting among
those men who were OH the restricted
diet. The exparimenters have there
fore drawn the conclusion that pei
lagra has been caused in at least six
of the eleven volunteers as result OF
the one sided diet on which they sub
sided.
On the basis of this discovery, the
states of Mississippi, Louisiana and
Florida have laid their propaganda
through the1r respective boards of
health for the eradication of the dis
ease.

A.. great, many, banks balance the
pass. book when left for. this purpose,
by listing onS the adding machine the
paid checks, deducting the amount
from, THE total of the deposits, the
difference representing the amount on
deposit. Other banks now issue
monthly statement in the form Of
typed sheet, containing all deposits
made and checks paid, with the bal
ance struck. This obviates the me
eessity. OF balancing the pass book,
which becomes merely memofan-
dun of deposits made.
Whatever the method. you should
not delay reconciling the balance. 1t

that you have issued checks which
may not have been presented for pay

balance. If you do this, you will new

Number all ~cflecks conseeutively
and when returned from. the bank
arrange them numerically, and check
them as to amount with the check
book stubs After you have ascertin-
ed what checks you have issued that
have not been paid subtract the
amount from the balance shown by
the bank, which should agree with

you are right, report the matter at

1t is we'll to examine the checks

have not been raised, the latter being
proven from the checking process

The construction of real municipal

Pine Bluff has it's gathering places,

but would be an incentive for Others
The time is approaching when

TALKS ON BANKING
RECONCILING YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT.

II you keep checking account
with a bank it is important both to
you and to the bank to know that
your accounts agree. Errors are IL
able to be made on both sides. A
deposit that should have gone to
your account may have been credited
to one with similar name, and like
wise a check may have been wrongly
charged against your account. For
geries may have been committed
through your checks, and errors in
cidental to keeping a large number
of accounts are always possible. 1t
becomes important. therefore, to fire.
quently adjust your balance with that
bank, both for the sake OF
protection and for the sake of accur-
acy.

Az result Of continued research
and expe. iments by the United States
public health service, both the causes
and cure OF pellagra have been dis
covered, and the spread of this dread
malady. which has been increasing in
the United states at terrific rate
during the past few years, may now
be checked and eventually eradicated.
Pellagra has been increasing alarm
ingly throughout the United States
during the last eight years, and 1t is
estimated that 10000 cases of the
disease will have occurred in the
United States in 1915. and of this
number at least $500 will have died
before the end of the year. In many
sections only tuberculosis and pneu-
monia exceed 1t as cause Of death.
The final epoch-making expert
ment Of the pubic health service was
carried out at the farm of the Missis-
sippi state penitentiary about eight
miles east OF Jackson, Miss. and to-
gether with the previous work of the
service completes the chain in the
prevention and cure of the disease.
The work at the Mississippi farm has
been in charge of Surgeon Joseph
Goldberger and Assistant Surgeon G.
A. Wheeler of the United States Pub
Tic Health service. The farm con-
sists OF 5000 acres in the center of
which is the convict camp The final
experiment was undertaken for the
purpose OF testing the possibility OF
producing pellagra IN healthy human
white adult males by restricted,
one-sided. mainly carbohydrate
tcereaD diet. OF eleven convicts
who volunteered for this experiment
six developed typical dermatitis and
mild nervous gastro-intestinal symp-
toms.
