SAFE MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

lis it safe?" is the first question to
be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has long been a favor,
lite with mothers of young children as
it contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may begiven to a child as conf
IDENTIFY as to an adult. 1t is pleasant
to take, too. which is OF great impor
lance when a medicine must be given
to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs,
colds and Group. Obtainable every

HURRAH FOR LODGE!

Good for Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. He is an American, every inch
of him, and we can forgive all his
political partisanship for that straight
right from the shoulder that floored
the false American who undertook to
rebuke him for standing by his coun-
try. If there is treason and disloy
atty in some parts Of New England,
there is nothing but robust Ameri
canism about the most distinguished
man that New England now has in
the Congress of the United States.

grow, and in the end there would be
large chance for expansion.
If American business men have a
fault as class, it is the desire for
quick returns. They are not over eau
tons about new ventures. They rarely
say, "a bird in the hand is worth two
birds in the bush tomorrow" They
hate to wait for results, and prefer to
build for to-day rather than for next
year. International currents of trade
are not built up in that way.

The Town Beautiful Movement.

Some one remarked the other day.
when a certain proposal of local i'm
PFevement was being discussed, that
Beauty is luxury. We can't afford
IL" Was he right?
Here is one plain fact, and any
experienced real estate man can verify
II from his own observation. Take a
street of plain, simple houses, with nc
attempt whatever at ornamentation OF
any kind, just naked wood, bricks and
cement. Suppose some morning this
spring the residents should get to-
gether and decide that the street look
&C too bare and commonplace.
Suppose they all agree to spend $50
I 5p planting shrubs and trees. grading
and sowing grass seed. Let them also
agree TO spend a few hours a week in
keeping the place neat and in planting
and tending flowers.
What would be the effect? Com
plete results of course would not sho v

hard angles between earth and walls
~ozld be softened by a nest of flower
ing shrubbery. In few years more.

selected with some quick growers.
you'd provide some shade and screen.
The selling price of those places
would pick up as soon as the shrubs
got started When TIE trees got lit
ne bigger, the whole character of that
street would have changed. 1t would
suggest culture, care, refinement.
People from other districts would LOOK
a II longingly and would snap up
empty houses. Eventually a place
that cost $4,000 would be likely to sell
Sor $4,000 to $4,000, because of the rep
station and desirability of the neigh
eorhood for residence.
People who say that beauty is a

The pleasure to the eye which beauty

GOODNESS GRACIOUS, WHAT
WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

A limit of 81 has been fixed as the
cost of the material in any dress to be
worn by girl members of the 1917

at a meeting decided to practice strict

Commercial Preparedness.

Much is being said on the above sub
war. Commercial Preparedness is to
be the slogan Of the National Foreign
Trade Association, meeting at New
Orleans soon. Business men are ad-
Donished TO look alive, or they will
lose trade as the result of European
pressure for business after the war.
Much of this talk, of course, is
bringing Goals to Newcastle" Amer
lean business men have always set up
nights thinking how they could attain
better commercial preparedness. Tha
agility with which they chase the dol

Some progress has been made since

CONTRACTOR ACCUSED
OF CONVERTING FUNDS
Charles Slater Arrested on Complaint
of A. w. Henkel Gives Bonds
for Appearance.

Charges of converting funds, under
the new Wisconsin lien law, were made
against Charles Slater, building con
tractor in the Municipal Court on Fri
day afternoon and he was released un-
der bonds of five hundred dollars pend
ing an ADJOURNED hearing set for No
vember 10th. The complaining witness
is A. W. Henkel who employed Slater
to build house for him. Henkel
claims that Slater converted to his own
use funds to the amount of 1897 90
which had been turned over to him to
pay for labor and materials in come,
tion with the building of the house.
Slater made frank confession in court
that he had received the money, but
declared that so many changes had
been made on the building after the
construction of it was started that it
was impossible to complete it, He de-
clared that he had not converted a sin
gle cent of the money paid him to other
purposes but that all of it had been ex-
pended in the erection of the building

KENOSHA PEOPLE
OVERLY LIBERAL NOW
Many Put Scent Stamps on Letters for
Delivery in Kenosha and on
Rural Routes.

Kenosha people are overly generous
in their efforts pay their part of the
new war tax and the post Office work
ers find that many Kenosha people are
putting Scent stamps On letter for de-
livery within the limit7 of Kenosha and
on rural routes. They do this on the
idea that drop" letters are unsealed
letters. While the government can use
every penny that it can get at this
time, there is no desire to put higher
burden on Kenosha than any other
place in the country. Under the new
regulations, the drop letters and this
means all letters to people within the
postal district of Kenosha, may be sent
for maximum postage Of two cents.
There has been no charge in the rate
for sealed letters which are to be de-
livered in Kenosha or on an rural
route running cut of Kenosha

ALIENS SAVINGS
SAFE FROM SEIZU RE
Germans Who Have Deposits in Postal
Savings Accounts Need Not Fear
For Safety of Sums.

The United States government will
not embark upon policy Of the seizure
of money which has been entrusted to
them by the alien enemies of this coun-
try and those citizens of Germany in
Kenosha who have money deposited in
a postal savings account need not fear
that it will be seized under the alien
enemy act This was made clear to
Postmaster German by recent COM
munication from the postmaster gen
eral, based on statement of A. Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, which
reads as follows.
Some misrepresentation seems to ex-
lst relative to the status under the
trading with- the-enemy act of citizens
or subjects of Germany or its allies
resident in this country. Such persons
are not included within the term tene-
my or ally of enemy as employed in
the act. Deposits in the postal savings
banks of the United States belonging
to such persons are not liable to seizure
by the government and will not there
Tore be taken into the possession of The
alien property custodian or be inter
fered tiwh in any way whatever

TO SIMPLIFY
ISSUE OE PERMITS
Industrial Commission Issues New
Rules Relating to Permits for
Child Workers.

With view toward simplifying the
regulations governing the issuance of
child labor permits, the industrial
commission has adopted the following
changes in the rnles hitherto in force,
and notice has been received by Judges
G. E. Randall and George W. Taylor
and Superintendent Mary D. Bradford
of the public schools. The regulation
as amended are:
Minors between sixteen and
seventeen years of age shall not be
required to procure school certificates
Form B-3). The legislature clearly
did not intend that children of this
age shall be denied permits when they
cannot satisfy the educational require
ments which are a prerequisite to the
issuance of permits to children below
sixteen years of age, inasmuch as
they cannot be compelled to attend
any full time school.
2-Form BIS. Statement of En-
ployment of Minor, - will be discon-
tinued. Since permits are now granted
only upon the fling of a letter from
a prospective employer to the effect
that he is willing to employ the minor,
no useful purpose is served in requir-
ing statement of employment after
the permit is issued.
The industrial commission has also
adopted the following rules, which is
suing officers will kindly observe:
3-No permits are to be granted to
minors between sixteen and seventeen
years of age for employment in the
manufacturing operations in breweries,
but such minors may be employed in
the Offices of brewing corporations.
This regulation is made in compliance
with the provisions of Chapter GA,
Laws of 1917, which authorizes the in
dustrial commission to refuse to grant
a permit If, in their Judgment, the best
interest of the child would be served by
such refusal. A specific provision of
the law prohibits the employment of
minors under sixteen years of age
in breweries.
permits shall not be granted to
nonresident children in cities where
they are not admitted to the vo-
cational school,

TROSI HELD FOR TRIAL,
ATTEMPT TO MURDER

James Trosi, alias James Perrone, a
Kenosha Italian brought back from
Brooklyn, n. Y, to answer charges Of
attempting to murder James Cieari on
the night of January 18th last, was ar
raigned in the Municipal Court on Fri
day afternoon. He waived examination
or charges of attempted murder and
war held without bonds for trial at the
next term of tie Circuit Court Trosi
sometime ago declared his willingness
to enter plea to the charges against
him, but later on he changed his mind
When the case was called for hearing
on Friday afternoon, he made no state
ment as to his connection with the
shooting of Cicari. The case will
probably be taken up at the present
term of the Circuit Court.

INCREASE Is PER CENT
Individual Earnings Did Not Increase
Nearly So Rapidly in Fast Year as
Those of Local corporations-S5,os9
Is Record Tax to Be Paid in City.

With the income tax roll completed
on Friday the outstanding feature is
that the income taxes on individuals
did not increase nearly as greatly in
the year of 1916 as did the taxes ON
the corporations. The total Of the in
dividual income tax as shown by the
roll now on file in the office of the
county clerk is $64,563.81. This is an
increase of a little over $1,000 over
the tax assessed against incomes in the
previous year. The increase is nearly
fifteen per cent while the increase in
the corporation income tax is more
than forty per cent this year.
1t is noticeable that there are more
names on the roll this year than ever
before and lot of people who in past
years were not able to have the luxury
of an income tax receipt are going to
afford one this year Mammoth"
incomes are not featured on the Keno
sha roll. In fact, the largest tax as
sessed against any individual income is
$5,089.36 and from this point it is
graduated down to a cent. The one
cent man is probably having his first
experience as an income tax payer.
while it is probably an old story to the
man with the $4,000 and more to pay.
The income tax assessed against the in
dividuals is largely assessed in the city
as the total for the city is $57,s777O.
If xzyac Ynnor uoop ~ 101G
men living out in the rural districts
of the county and the total of the tax
to be paid by all Of the residents of
the county outside of the city is but
little over $4,000. Every town in the
county has its name mentioned on the
roll, but it is little more than a
mention" in several of the cases.
For instance the town of Brighton
pays but $101.31 in income taxes.
Bristol gets off with 1924; Thrifty
Paris has but $12.58; Randall comes
along with her ice men who swell the
total to $4,000; Salem will pay
$296.21; Wheatland $115.50; Pleasant
Prairie gets up into the big money
with $2,110.76, and Somers tops the
other towns in the county with total
individual tax of $3,335.40. 1t is adj
mitted that the individual tax assessed
in the county towns is larger than it
was the last time the assessor had a
chance to look thp towns over
The grand total of the individ-
ual and corporation income tax for
the county is $48o,S76.17 and it is
divided as follows:

POSTAL ORDER LIMITS
SOLDIERS XMAS BOXES
New Postal Order Changes Maximum
Weight Of Parcels Bound to
France to Seven Pounds.

The French railways are forced to
take some of the joy out of America IS
fighting Sammies across the seas for
with overburdened mail trains thew
have been forced to ask the United
States to lessen the size Of packages
sent to the soldiers in the American
Expeditionary Force in France from
twenty pounds to seven pounds. The
wisdom of the regulation has been seen
by the American officials and after
November LIST, no package may be sent
to a fighting brother, son or sweet
hearts by the folks back here if it
weights more than seven pounds max
imum. This, of course, will not be
construed to apply to any of the Xmas
Cheer Boxes which have been started
on their seward journey.
A new wrinkle of the new war tax
brought out by Communication from
the Postmaster General recently when
Postmaster German was advised that
On all parcel post packages where the
postage amounts to twenty-five cents
or more there shall be affixed in adj
dition a one cent stamp for every
twenty-five cents or fraction thereof
paid for carrying the parcel. Special
internal revenue stamps will be used
for the payment of the tax and ordi-
nary stamps will not be acceptable.
This viii mean in many instances the
mailing of the parcel at the post office
rather than at the various letter boxes.
Without payment of this special tax
the package viii be returned TO the
owner if practicable or held for the
additional postage.

COUNTY MUST GIVE AID
Joint Federal and State Fund Will Be
Drawn on for Over ssh, 5000 of County
Provides Small Additional Fund
Necessary for North End of Road.

Formal announcement that the Sheri-
dan Road through Kenosha county is
to be finished with state and federal
aid during the building season of 1918,
came to County Clerk Russell I'll. Jones
this morning In the formal announce
ment of the Wisconsin State Highway
Commission of contracts which it is
ready to let for the coming year.
From the joint state-federal aid fund
the state commission will furnish the
sum of little over $4,000 for the
completion of the work in both
Pleasant Prairie and Somers. The
county appropriation for the town Of
Pleasant Prairie is already made, but
to secure the completion of the Lake
Shore Road through the town of
Somers with the aid of the state
and federal funds, the county must
raise the sum of $9,333.33,
The formal estimate for the work for
the coming year shows that the county
will receive from the regular state
highway aid appropriation the sum of
$13,439.56, which is to be available for
the building Of all of the highways
known as Estate highways In adj
dition to this appropriation the esti-
mates are made for the Sheridan Road.
The state commission estimates that
the cost Of completing the road from
the state line to the present line of
the concrete road in the town of
Pleasant Prairie will be $4,000. Of
this amount, ST., 1880 is ordered drawn
from the state-federal joint road fund.
The county must pay the remainder of
$8,666.67. This amount was provided
for in the bond issue fioated to secure
the completion of the road by the town
of Pleasant Prairie and it is certain
that there will be no hitch in the plans
for the completion Of the road south
from Kenosha to the state line
The state commission estimates the
cost Of the completion of the road north
from Kenosha to the north county line
at $4,000 and an appropriation from
the fund is made to the amount of
$18,666.66. No provision has been
made by the county or the town of
Somers to raise the remainder of the
estimated cost of the roa dand this
will be one of the important matters
to come before the county board at it's
meeting week after next. 1t is thought
certain that with appropriations al
ready made by the state that the coun-
Gil and the town board of the town of
Somers will see to it that provision is
made to accept the state aid.
The order of the commission provides
for the completion of the road from the
north limits Of Kenosha county to the
north limits Of Racine county and ap-
preparations have been made for the
state to do it's full share of the work.
Efforts to have the work started the
first thing in 1918 are already underway
and it is thought that the work can be
completed by the latter part of June of
next year so that the road will be
available for use in the summer Of 1918

The Welfare-not Wild-caJ-Commit-
tee of the Black Cat Textiles Company
gave a highly enjoyable dance at
Eagles Hall on Friday evening. More
than FIVE hundred people were present
to "chase the glowing hours with fly
ing feet'' and forget the worries of war
in the witchery of the waltz. Vocal Sc
lections by Mildred Murray and Fred
Beckman gave added charm to the
evenings festivities and convinced the
merry-makers that the singers were no
longer amateurs but artists. The mu-
sic for the dancing was furnished by
the Columbia orchestra. At late hour
light refreshments were ierved after
which the jewellers departed for their
several homes.
