MAKE THEM SELF SUPPORTING
List Being Rapidly Reduced But six
Families Are Now Receiving Full Sup
port from City - Three Women De-
serted by Husbands Being Cared for.

Good times is doing something else
for Kenosha. 1t is cutting the big bill
that the city sets aside for the care of
the poor. Thereport for the past three
months which has just been filed with
the city clerk by Pauper Commissioner
Jacob Saftig, shows that there has been
big reduction in the number of peo-
pie receiving bounty from the city and
the bill for this work is being greatly
reduced. The expenditures of the de-
partment for the quarter were consid-
erably less than three thousand dollars.
The report shows that since the first
of May ten families who had been re
ceiving aid from the city have found
it possible to make themselves self sup
porting. This reduced the number de-
pendent on the city by twenty five and
the number of dependents now on the
list is far below the normal number.
Good times in Kenosha has made it
possible for the pauper commissioner
to aid people to be more self support
ing. He has shown real interest in
the people who have come to him for
aid and in many cases the aid has been
given in the way of finding work for
the men and the boys and girls rather
than in drawing on the city treasury.
There is such demand for labor in
Kenosha at the present. time that not
single case of emo work. is given
by the commissioner as cause for pau
perism. The report shows that there
are still forty-four families getting
aid from the city, but in only six cases
is the city furnishing fall support for
these families and in many cases the
aid given by the city is tide Overt
aid. Rent is being paid for many of
the families and fuel and groceries are
being furnished. The report shows that
in nearly every case where full support
is being given it is due to the fact that
the earning members Of the family are
either i'll or disabled. In four cases aid
is being given because Of the head of
the famiuy is in a sanatorium.
Twenty-four of the women who are
now receiving aid are widows with
families and but three cases are re
ported where the city has been forced
to furnish aid on account of the deser-
tion of husbands.
Of course there is the usual list of
chronic paupers who have been sup
ported by the city for years and who
promise to remain on the city list until
the pauper commissioner pays the ex-
penses of their funerals.
During the quarter the city took care
of three patients at the Kenosha hos
pital aid in one case the city was call
ed upon to pay funeral expenses.
There has been reduction of two in
the population of the poor farm and
the farm has the low record of ten in
mates at the present time.
The pauper commissioner declares
that conditions are improving daily
and many people for whom he has found
employment are beginning to get self
supporting. Tt is certain that with a
continuance of prosperity in Kenosha
that the cost Of caring for the depen-
dents is going to be greatly reduced.

WILL ARREST ALL
 WHO STEAL BARRELS
Law to be Strictly Enforced by Police
 Upon Orders of Chief.

As the Thanksgiving season ap- breaches, the police department has begun to receive complaints against the boys of the city who make a prac- tice of stealing barrels to collect for Thanksgiving Day bonf1res. This practice has continued for so many years in Norwich that some of the boys seem to have gotten the idea that it is not forbidden by law. As the law of the state provides a penalty of fine or Imprisonment for an offense of this kind, the chief of police with the ap- proval of the present city administra- ton has given strict instructions to all of the officers on duty to arrest any boy, or other person, who is guilty of stealing barrels. Any boy who is ar rested on this charge will be prose- cuted, and, if convicted, punished by fine or imprisonment, and furthermore where the facts call for it he will be prosecuted on the additional charge of dumping refuse in the public streets.
 It is hoped that the boys will, profit by the word of warning which has been given and that but few arrests will have to be made.

 to Keep It There.

It Puts Hair on Your Head and Helps
 to Keep It There.
 What's the use of being bald? What sense is there in deliberately allowing your hair to turn gray?
 These conditions come mostly from neglect, but the frequent application to the hair and scalp of little of the real Partisan Sage will prevent bald ness and grayness in nearly every in- stance.
 Most people take good care of their teeth, but sadly neglect their hair. They are equally important. Look after your hair. Parisian Sage is a scientific preparation that supplies hair needs--it's just what you want. It prevents gEayness and badness by putting life and nourishment into the hair roots.
 Man or woman, no matter how old you are, Parisian Sage will help you to look younger and more attractive.
 Why not go to Lee & Osgood Go. and get a large bottle today? It's in- expensive, and your money back if does not cure dandruff, stop falling hair or itching of the scalp. It will make your hair grow 1u8uriant, bright and beautiful. The genuine Partisan Sage, as sold by good druggists every where is a most refreshing, delicately perfumed, and invigorating hair dress ing-free from stickiness-and abso- lutely harmless to the hair and scalp

I saw they were helping her. and bought two bot ties of my druggist and she Is alto gether cured. Thanks to Foley Kidney Pills for the benefit I have found in them, as it takes lot of washing off since I found the cure"
 Parents no longer scold or punish a child for bed-wetting. Instead. they improve the little ones physical condi- tion. until the annoying and rortifyjng act is done away with.
 A few simple rules aided by the use of Foley Kidney Pills will stop any or dinary case of bed-wetting that is not caused by obstruction or malformatton of the parts. They are safe to take and absolutely free of harmful drugs. Foley 6 Co.,, 2S35 Sheffield Ave, Chicago, will send their leafet on bed-wetting to any one asking for it.

If there was drizzfe of rain it in no way hampered or lnarred the demo- cratic celebration of the reelection of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. The streets were packed not only with women and children, but many staunch republi- can braved the chilly air and driving rain to watch the parade.

There was red fire and Roman candles galore, automobile horns and anything else that could make a noise provided a deafening din. At the head of the parade was John Wilson and Sigmund Siegal, mounted on two large white mules, the symbol of the party, and the paraders. The line of march was over Main street to Thames square, back through Water street, Little Wa ter, Shetucket, over Main street as far as Billings Corner and return to Franklin square and up Franklin street.
 While bn the way up Franklin street one of the machines at the head of the line stalled, and many in the autos took this opportunity to serenade The Bulletin office. The parade proceeded over Willow street, down Broadway to the Wauregan house. where the bands men jumped aboard a motortruck, and the marchers dropped out. All the out lying districts were visited, including Norwich Town, Greeneville and Taft vile.
 The paraders got a hearty reception in Greeneville, as they happened along just as q fire alarm had been rung in, and large crowd had collected in front of the engine house cn North Main street.
