must stand behind America now with
all of his power. =
The Governor spoke at length on the
present peace proposals. ssPeace pro-
posals to be of any value now must be
the peace proposals which are discussed
in Berlin. The man who today shouts
for peace is an enemy to the govern
ment because we may not have that
peace which is going to endure until we
have wiped out the cause of war. Peace
is the desire of every one God knows
that I want peace but want the right
kind Of peace and the man in this coun-
try who is talking peace today is not
talking in the interests of this country
but in the interest of the other fell
lows
The Governor made a strong plea for
support of the laws for the conservation
of the food and fuel supply and de-
clared that the real call to the state
ard the nation was not only for men to
fight the battles of world democracy
but the men and women who would
fight the battles against greed at home.
He declared that patriotism at home
was just necessary as bravery at the
front.
In concluding Governor Philip adj
dressed himself especially to the men
who had been called 20 the colors and
to their parents. He declared that these
men were going to fight under Off
GERS who knew how to maintain armies.
He declared that every leader of the
American troops would be man picked
because he was worthy of leadership
and not because he had political badge
upon his coat. In speaking to the mo-
theirs of the drafted men the Governor
said:
"God gave you son. Thank Him
that He gave you one mentally: physi-
ca1ly and morally able to be named as
ore of this army of Democracy. There
is no better service to which he can
give his powers and there is no greater
service that you can render than that
you should give this son to aid in this
great battle for the advancement of the
civilization and the Demonstration of
the world.

Head of the County Council of Defense
and leaGer in the movement among the
women of the city has received notice
that Food Administrator Herbert Hoo
yer has decreed "clean-up" cam
paign TO, food pledges starting on De-
tober 18th. This campaign is designed
to reach every woman who did not sign
food pledge during the former cam
paign. It is expected that the same
organization which worked in the
former campaign will be drafted for
another week of service and many of
the women of Kenosha who aided at
that time have signifed their willing
ness to aid in the second campaign.
Many Kenosha women claimed that
they were not given chance to sign
the food cards and in the new cam
paign there will be ample chance for
these women to show their willingness
to cooperate with the food administra-

latest theories of domestic science they

patriotism of the men who donated
them and the women who preserved
them.

ART AND PATRIOTISM
Decorations and Offerings Were Pre-
dominantly National - Appoint Pa
triotic Circle = Miss Robinson and
Rollo Rambo on Program.

The Catholic Woman s club held its
first meeting of the present year at
the K. of G. club rooms on Saturday af.
ternoon. More than hundred and fiftv
members were present and participated
In the patriotic ceremonies arranged for
the program of the afternoon. Miss
Kathryn Langan, president of the asses
citation, presided with dignity and eff
ficiency that did much to make the
meeting an suspicious opening for the
activities of the coming fall and winter.
Under the direction of Mrs. F. E.
Stemm, the hall was specially decorated
for the occasion. Flowers and flags
were everywhere with now and then
white, trellis hung with bunting and
greenery. Tn this atmosphere the meet
ing assumed a patriotic spirit highly app
propriate to wartime gathering and
perfectly in keeping with the sentiment
of the program.
A short business session preceded the
more pretentious numbers of the after
noon. After the formal opening new
members we're admitted with the usual
ceremonies and various problems dis
cussed with a vim and verve that indi-
Gated real interest and ideal seriousness.
Noteworthy among the business trans
acted was the appointment of a spec
ial committee to handle questions bear
ing on the present war. The new body
will be called the "Patriotic Circle''
and will generally initiate and super
wise the martial activities of the local
club. Mrs Fl. F. DeBerge was appoint
ed chairman and graciously accepted
the heavy responsibilities referred to
her by this important action.
The program for the meeting was
beth literary and musical. Miss Grace
Robinson opened the offerings with an
artistic reading of "When the Fleet
Goes By Patriotic in sentiment and
faultless in rendition it set high stan
dard for the afternoon s interpretations
ard elected rounds of applause from
the appreviative audience. Tt was fol-
lowed by group of songs by RoIlo
Rambo, whose ability is too well known
to require further comment. Suffice it
to say that he sang with his usual charm
and continued the program in the same
high key already set by Miss Robinson.
Miss Mae Mcnamara handled "Current
Events" and presented many topics of
interest concerning the affairs of both
peace and war.
The meeting was decided success
from every standpoint. The program
was excellent, the interest was good, and
the attendance was much larger than
had been anticipated by even the most
optimistic officials Of the club. The
business transacted was also encourage
ing and gave promise of real service
during the fall and winter months. AS
an opening the gathering was highly
gratifying and proved conclusively that
the vacation season has not dulled the
ardor or weakened the efficiency of the
Catholic Woman IS club.

Major Suggests Gray
Shirts for Battalion
Meeting Night for the Provisional Bat
TALON Necessarily Changed to
Wednesday Night.

To conserve kahki cloth for the boys
that need it, On the firing line, the first
order of Major Mellum of the Kenosha
Provisional Battalion was a suggestion
that those who buy soft shirts for the
drill, should purchase gray ones, which
however, is not compulsory on any
member. The night of meeting has
been necessarily changed from Tues
day evening to Wednesday at 1880 due
to the inability to secure the Coliseum
on Tuesday evening. A scheme has
been perfected whereby the Coliseum
will be rented to the Council of De-
tense for the battalion for Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evenings, but
for the present it is believed that one
drill night. a week will be sufficient.
Tt is expected that there will be many
additions to the roll of the unit at the
first drill night meeting Wednesday
This will be he last opportunity to en-
list with the charter members and it is
believed that many will grasp it. The

prompt and unfailing attendance by
every member is demanded both by in
terest and military law. Major Mel
lum is planning some division of the
men into squads, which although it will
be temporary, will be good start tow

that there was no trouble disarming
him. He went along to the station
and when the police searched him
they found the money which had been
taken from the Krause saloon hidden
in one of his shoes.
Smith was ready to make admissions
on Sunday. He admitted that the pair
of them had entered the Robinson
store early Friday morning and secured
some shoes and other articles; that
they had shinnied up a water pipe in
to the Newell studio above the store,
hoping to be able to steal some
bicycles which had been shown in
the window in the front Of the
building; that they had entered the
Cudahy market land the saloon by
forcing open back windows.
Smith was communicative in re-
gard to his "folkso in Chicago and
his partner was just as secretive.

whether their parents were living or
not and that they have made their
home "in the loop" for the past two
years. Smith appeared to be distinctly
proud of his exploits in Kenosha

Exemption Board for the
County Finds Trouble Fill
ing Up Quota for the
National Army.
CITY PICKS ATERNATEs

The county board for exemption
started work all over again this morn
ing in an effort to line up a hundred
real soldiers for the county as its quota
for the national army. Saturday after
noon it became apparent that enough
men had not been secured and hurry
UP call was sent out for hundred and
twenty-five L ore men to appear for the
physical examinations. This brought
the total called for examination in the
county up to five hundred and twenty
five. This morning the physicians were
busy making examinations and the ex-
aminatons will be continued on Tues
day and Wednesday Of this week.
Many men who had congratulated
themselves that they had escaped the
draft were included in the list called
on Saturday and the members of the
exemption board were discussing the
possibility of a second registration
in the county.
With less than twenty per cent of
the men called being landed for
service the county is not making an
overly good showing. Members of the
board declare that they would have
plenty of men had it not been for de-
lays of the district board and exemp-
tions being granted by that board.
The members seem to be convinced
that out of the men now called for serv-
ice they will get enough men to make
up the full quota for the county.
The Kenosha local board for exemp-
ton today gave out the list of alter
mates named to report on next Friday.
Volunteering for immediate service has
resulted in a number of the men
who were called to go to camp being
transferred to the list of alternates.

JEWS WILL AID CoMPATRICTs.

Kenosha Judaism will make special
attempt to complete its apportionment
for the American Jewish Relief Fund
during the days between Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur. The time is pecu-
liarly appropriate inasmuch as it is
week of self-denial and the spirit of
the festival should prompt many to
contribute both large and small sums
for the alienation of suffering among
the Hebrews in war-worn and worm
torn Poland and Russia. The new
movement has received fresh impetus
from letted recently receivd from
Henry Morgenthau of New York by
Emanuel Epstein of this city. The COM
municatior reads as follows:
Dear Mr.. E. Epstein:
A nationwide Yom Kippur appeal
for the Jewish war sufferers has been
planned and we should like to have
your cooperation in making it genu-
Within two months the balance of
tie $10,000,000 fund pledged by Ameri-
can Israel, must be raised. In order to
accomplish this purpose, we are calling
into service every Jewish synagogue in
the land to join with us on Yom Kippur
in doing our full duty to our suffering
kinsmen. Will you not, therefore, as
president of your congregation, coop
crate in the task that lies before us9
The r2bbis of your community-be they
orthodox or reformed-can lend power
full aid, and their appeals from the pull
pit should prove most effective in ac-
comprising the desired end. 1t has
also been suggested that an eloque,.7
layman be invited to make the appeal
wherever possible, but this is purely q
matter of discretion which we leave
for you to decide.
Will you, therefore, be kind enough
to confer at once with your own com
mittee, so as to formulate your plans
with the least possible delay and ad-
wise me of your action?
Appropriate literature AMI contrihu-
tion cards will be sent to you in due
time.
| shall be personally grateful to you
for your immediate attention to this
vital matter and am joined by Jacob
H. SchiG, Felix M. Warburg, Henry
Morgenthau, and my other colleagues,
and hoping for favorable -oply as
fitting recognition of the spirit of the
approaching holy days which have ever
been a signal for deeds of unselfsh
kindness to others, am,
Sincerely your,
Nathan Straus,
Chairman.
Mr.. Epstein, when interviewed to-
day, reported that the relief fund for
Kenosha was still far from raised and
that Yom Kippur contributions would
be gratefully received by the local
committee. While affirming that local
Jewry had given generously, he de-
clared that other donations might rea-
sonably be made aud must be forth
coming if Kenosha is to complete the
apportionment assigned her by the ma
tional relief committee. The iberality
of local Judaism will undoubtedly re-
assert itself under the stimulus of Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur and make
possible the highly desirable accom-
pishment of this laudable enterprise.

Meat Cause of

Take a Glass of Salts if your Back

Meat forms uric acid.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat it. but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost paraly-
yes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer from a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stom-
ache sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three time during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush OFT
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act hne. This famous salts/is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
