FAILS TO REACH KENosHA.
Col. z. r. Green Said to be Racing with
Cupid for Kenosha Fails to Put
in an Appearance.

Chicago papers We're searching Ke-
nosha on Monday afternoon and even
ing for Col E. r. Green and his bride
Col. Green has a lot of claims to fame
but the most interesting is the fact
that he is the son of th9 late Hetty
Green who for years had the reputa-
tion of being the richest woman In the
world. Col. Green was booked by the
Chicago reporters to bring his bride to
Kenosha for a wedding ceremony on
Monday afternoon but there was no APP
plication made for marriage license
in the name of the colonel and the
identity of his bride remained secret
so far as Kenosha was concerned. The
report that the colonel and his bride
to-be were coming caused considerable
of a stir up about the county building.
County Clerk Jones admitted that he
would even arrange to stay open for an
extra hour to serve so distinguished a
citizen and that he would be glad to
have the opportunity of aiding in lead
ing the confirmed bachelor son of Hettv
Green into the bliss of happy married
life. But the colonel did not come
and Kenosha lost another chance to be
the real dyed in the wool Gretna Green.
of the country. IF the colonel found
some more accommodating place to be
married no one has as yet discovered
where the honeymoon is being spent
and possibly Kenosha may still be the
place for the wedding.

LARGE REAL ESTATE DEAL
Option Taken on Property on Sheridan
Road Between Wisconsin and South
SITS Ultimate Plan to Build Large
Institution for Care of Aged.

Charity is the keystone of new in
stitution to be established in Kenosha
IN the near future as revealed by the
fact that Monday the Carmelite Sis
ters, a Catholic order, noted for its
acts Of mercy and benevolence, secured
an option on property fronting so feet
on Sheridan Road between Wisconsin
and South streets. The site at the pres
ent is occupied b. the seventeen room
apartment building, owned by w. S..
Wilkinson and a smaller house owned
by B. F. Stahl, which are to be tempo
rarily used by the order as a home for
old people. This in time is to give way
to larger Institution, built to meet the
demands of the homo and up to date
IN every particular. The money in
volved in the transaction was not made
public but it is supposed to be one of
the largest real estate deals of recent
weeks in Kenosha.
The Carmelite Sisters, VINO have thus
chosen Kenosha as a scene of their ac-
tivity, are known far and wide for their
devotion to the church and for their

SELECT MISS KEWENIG.
Committee of Nurses Picks Kenosha
Hospital Training School Graduate
For Important Post.

The nurses committee named to Sc
lect graduate nurse to have charge of
the new baby hospital at Simmons Play
Ground have recommended the election
of Miss IDA Kewenig, a recent gradu-
ate of the Kenosha Hospital Training
School. Miss Kewenig has taken a
great interest in the children's ward at
the hospital and she will undoubtedly
be accepted by the health department
to have charge of the new institution.
Plans are now being worked out to se-
cure housekeeper for the new institu-
ton and as soon as this is done definite
plans for opening the new hospital will
be worked out

good works. Their headquarters In
this part of the United States are at
East Chicago, Indiana, where for many
years they nave maintained nunHery
which has won nothing put praise and
honor from the people of the communi-
ty. AS the order has grown, they have
widened the scope of their acts Of char
ity ana have established homes in mum
crous cities, all which are entirely sup
ported by the benifcence Of the sisters
By bylaw of the order, it is under
stood, their acts of charity are limited
to the establishment Of homes for old
people and homes for girls and children.
AS their work becomes more extensive
IN Kenosha, they expect to enlarge the
institution here in such way as to
follow all the branches Of charity open
to them in any Of their homes.
The establishment Of a Carmelite in
stltution In Kenosha has long been I'M
der contemplation. For some time a
deal was under way whereby the sisters
Of mercy planned to buy the English
Court property, now owned by the Ke-
nosha Hospital, which was to be used
IN the same capacity as the property
on which they have now taken an op-
ton. 1t is movement which has re-
ceived the favorable support of the
Catholic churches of the citv and has
received the commentator of MANY
leading citizens. There can be no
doubt but what a home, where the
aged, irrespective of religion and
means, may be allowed to spend their
last days in peace and plenty, will
prove a great boon to a growing city
like Kehosha.
The detailed plans Of the Carmelite
Sisters, as shown Monday, arrange for
the opening OF the home as soon as
possible in the buildings now occupy
ing the site which they have purchased.
These will be temporarily remodeled IN
such way as to make them convent
ent for the carrying on of the work of
mercy which the sisters have so kindly
offered to the city. This home is to be
a haven of rest where the aged may
come without money or without price
and be cared for with all the tender
ness which has characterized the work
of the order in its other institutions
There is to be no hard and fast rule as
to who shall be allowed to enter as the
home will be open to old people of this
and neighboring cities. At no distant
date, work will be started o.. the con-
struetion of new building, which,
when completed. will be home Of
which all Kenosha viii be proud and

FOR NEW YORK GUESTS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nelson of Market
Street, Entertain With Dinner Dance
at Danish Brotherhood Hall.

Decorations of ferns, palms, and peo-
MES, made the Danish Brotherhood Hall
bower of beauty for the dinner-dance
given on Saturday evening by Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Nelson of Market street
for their guests, Mr.. and Mrs Alden,
and Gust Alden, of Brooklyn, and East
Moriches, New York. The popular
dance-hall was divided for the occasion
into vestibule, reception-room, a
dining hall, and innumerable cosy cog-
ners. The arrangement gave a novel
touch to the affair that contributed
immeasurabIy to the evenings pleas
ure.
At eight 'clock dinner was served.
Covers were laid for a hundred and
fifty guests. At intervals during the
continuance of the four-course lunch
con, musical selections were furnished
by a four-piece orchestra. A popular
repertoire in these numbers combined
with an excellent menu to make the
dinner one of the most enjoyable feat
ures of the evenings festivities. When
the luncheon had been served the guests
retired to the reception hall and cosy
corners arranged for them. Upon re-
turning to the dining room they
found the scene completely changed.
The tables had been removed and the
floor was ready for dancing. With
such decorations and such music the
dance which followed was one of the
most pleasurable affairs of the summer
season. The guests waltzed and tangoed
and two-stepped until the wee small
hours of the morning suggested depart
ure for their several homes.
Out-of-town guests at the function
included: Mr.. and Mrs. Alden, Mrs G.
Travis and daughter, Florence, of
Brooklyn, New York; Gust Alden of
East Moriches, L. l.; Mr.. and Mrs. John
Landgren, Mrs. Emma Lanuge and fam
lily, and Mrs. A. johnson, all of Chi

U. S. Department Ofers Suggestive
Recipes for American Women to Aid

in Conservation Movement.
American women are not devoid of
ingenuity but many have wondered
since The beginning CT the conservation
movement by Food Dictator Hoover
how they could best serve in carrying
out the nationwide program. Uncle
Sam through the agricultural depart
ment OF the government, has now ad-
vanced a number of practical ways in
the performance of which every patrio-
tic housewife can have a part. One of
these methods is the suggestion Of
various recipes Of foods, ordinarily
wasted or strange to the average table.
An adoption of these dishes will con
serve the food needed at the front and
allow US to send more grain and meats
to our Allies across the sea by sub
shutting for these necessities the food
products which have beer wasted here

of this kind will be published. Today
Unce Sam offers to the housewife a
suggestion for meat pie that is diff
ferent-it reads like the variation

His many acquaintance are lamenting

John Adamson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Adamson Of Kenosha county,
was born in Lake county, Illinois, June
IS, 1868 At the age of FIVE years he

cational work he began his successful
career as a teacher in the schools of
Kenosha county. Here he displayed
such unusual ability and such pleasing
personality that he was soon power
in the pedagogical circles Of his town
ship and its vicinage. With efficiency
and popularity to recommend him he
was not slow in securing recognition.
He was ultimately promoted to the
schools of Chicago where he was held in
highest esteem by officials and pupils
