If your skin is yellow-conplexion

Olive Tablets.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-a sub

DR.. Edwards after II years of study
with his patients, and are purely vege-
fable compound mixed with olive oil
You will know them by their olive

the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on
the liver and bowels like calomelEyet
have no dangerous after effects. They
start the bile and overcome constipa-

A crack in the edge of a coin which
deadened the sound when the piece Cf
metal was dropped on a marble or
wooden surface, SO worried some hon.
est resident Of Maine that he sent it
TO President Wilson today, and asked
that the money experts OF the Gov
ernment examine 1t and see where the
trouble lies.
It was one of the new ''two-bit''
pieces. The Maine resident thought
it was counterfeit, and when the com
was tested by tie amateurs at the
White House executive offices, they,
too, agreed with him.
One of the Secret Service men at
tached to the Executive Mansion was
told. OF the existence of the alleged
spurious piece of money.
How do you know 1t is not genu-
ine?" he asked.
Because it does not ring when
tossed on a table," was the reply.
''Ten to 1 that it's genuine, and 1
haven't seen it," was the experts an
swer.
He took the new coin, placed 1t un-
der a magnifying glass. and a tiny
crack in the edge, which the glass
developed into a huge gap, was seen.
The Secret Service man inserted the
point of a knife blade and further
opened it
The coin is genuine" he said. 1T
has not been out long enough to be
counterfeited yet"
The new 25-cent piece will be re-
turned to the Dark Harbor, Me-, resi-
dent, with the information that tho
money is perfectly good.

When Mans Man. are two of
the most widely read volumes in the
present library. Jack London, Rex
Beach, Richard Harding Davis, Booth
Harrington and George AIDE are among
the favorite authors. A very limited
number of their best stories are avail
able, however. Magazines are pIenti-
full, but most of them are old numbers.
A recent communication from the
camp brings an interesting description
of the "Y' tent where most of the
reading is done. It comes from one of
the Sammies himself and consequently
is first-hand knowledge. 1t reads in
part:
sFThe ~ tent as I write is full of
men artillery, cavalry, infantry, medi-
cal, engineer, general service, signal
corps and all of them. Their hat cords
form quite a study. That is all you
can tell 1917 soldier by now. Occa-
sionally like a green firecracker in a
bunch you can find a rookie" at a
table writing home to the farm folks
at Huckleberry Corners, and giving
them more news that has happened to
him since 2 o clock today than has start
led the Corners since the one-ring circus
"made that town in 1887.
HThis ~ is a great place. 1t has
been enlarged three times and men are
still waiting their turn to write home
to still the aching heart of mother,
whose sole thought is of her boy at
the front.
"Don't worry, mother, your boy IS
all right. You know where he is. Did
you always know where he was at his
home towngo
These reports from the camp are very
interesting to local people because of
their indications. Even this brief re-
sumo of mental activities at the train
ing school is sufficient to convince the
most skeptical pacifists that military
service prepares for peace as well as
war. The Sammies now at Camp Doug
las are receiving liberal education and
rich experience. This in itself is
worth the risk attendant upon their
venture and will most assuredly make
them more useful citizens and better
men when the smoke of war has lifted
upon new era of peace and freedom

BOY rs BITTEN BY DOG.
Lewis Hammond, Four Year Old Son of
Mr.. and Mrs. T.. J. Hammond, is
Victim of Unmuzzled Canine.

An unmuzzled dog, released after
two days confinement, attacked four
year old Lewis Hammond of Fremont
street on Saturday afternoon and in
fiicted what may prove to be serious
wound on the child's upper lip. The
boy was playing ON the sidewalk when
the dog approached him Fearing trou-
bic from the vicious actions of the
canine, the child ran screaming into
the yard where he was over taken by
his pursuer. His cries had attracted
his father, however, who pulled the
dog away only after the boy had been
painfully bitten in the upper lip. A
physician was Immediately summoned
and cauterized the wound. The boy is
recovering nicely today and no imme-
date complications are expected The
dog the property of James FolIen Of
Tanners Court, was captured and TAX
en- to the local pound early Sunday
morning. Peculiar actions there led
the officials to suspect rabies and re-
suited in immediate death for the
canine. It's head was sent to Madison
this morning where the brain viii be
examined for evidences of hydropho-
bia. In case traces Of the disease are
found Master Hammond will be rushed
to Chicago Immediately for treatment
at the Pasteur Institute of that city

HOPE FOR HOME IN HOLY LAND.
Zion Study Club Established by Local
Jews will Study Hebrew History
and Work for Palestine Recovery.

Kenosha Jews, meeting at the home
of Adolph Epstein of South street on
Sunday evening, established Zion
Study Club which will do research work
In Hebrew history and seek TO obtain
legally secured and publicly assured
home for their people in Palestine. J.
D. Rosenblum of This city and Milton
Moses of the, Wisconsin University
were the chief promoters of the new
movement and easily persuaded their
compatriots in Judaism that the recov-
cry OF the Holy Land was highly de-
sirable and easily possible under con-
ditions recently created by the world
war Ways and means Of accomplish
ing this end were discussed with en-
thusiasm and wisdom and resulted in
the provisional establishment of the
Zion Study Club. Permanent organi-
cation was postponed until the next
meeting of the body on August 18th,
when permanent officers will be elected
and definite plans laid for practical
constructive work. The spirit display
ed in the gathering spoke well for the
loyalty of local Jews and augured a
prosperous and profitable future for the
newly exploited movement.

Lance Cottage at
TlUi1 Lakes Burned
Cottage at North End of the Lake De
stroyed With It's Contents Just
After Midnight This Morning.

"The Lance Cottage at Twin
Lakes, which has been the summer
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. FL. Lance and
their family for number of years, was
completely destroyed by fire at mid
night Sunday night entailing loss Of
more than twenty five hun lred dolisrs,
which was partially covered by insur-
ance. The cottage was owned bg the
Misses Loveday, who now reside in
California and it was one of the first
cottages to be built at the north end
of Twin Lakes. The origin of the ire
is mystery, but it is supposed to
have started in the kitchen where there
had been a fire on Sunday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lance and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles G. Brown had eaten sup
per at the cottage on Sunday evening
and when they left for Kenosha Just
after nine o'clock the caretaker was at
work in the kitchen The fire was
discovered just before midnight and
with no means to fight it the cottage
was completely destroyed. The flames
did not extend to the second cottage
owned by the Loveday sisters and the
boat houses at the Glance cottage
were not destroyed. The furnishings
of the cottage belonged to Mr.. and
Mrs. Lance and they have suffered a
considerable loss as result of the fire.
The cottage has been the scene of
many happy weekend parties for the
younger people of Kenosha and it was
one Of the most popular spots on Twin
Lakes. Sunday afternoon large party
Of young people were at the cottage,
but after a dip in the lake they re-
turned to Kenosha.
The cottage was a landmark among
the resorts along the lake and it was
built more than twenty years ago.

Collection Service
People May Put Grass and Ashes in the
Cans Furnished by the City and
it Will be Disposed Of.

With view of making the munich
pal garbage collection of the greatest
possible service to the city, Superin-
tendent Nelson this morning announced
that there would be no restrictions on
the refuse to be hauled away from the
houses so long as it was placed in the
municipal garbage cans. This will
answer the question of how to dispose
of the ashes. AS many cans as may
be necessary will be sold to the prop
erty owners at two dollars and half
each and they can be filled with what
ever the people see fit.
II do wish that the people would
drain the garbage" said Superinten-
dent Nelson this morning. eve do not
want to be forced to haul away truck
loads of dish water, but we are willing
to take anything else. This will in
clude tin cans and ashes and the grass
off the yard so long as it can be
placed in the cans.'
The city men completed the first
round of collection today and there are
now more than three hundred regular
patrons of the municipal company.
