Private reports received in Switzer-

as having taken a serious turn late

of bad milk are made against few

Chemist Miller says:

greater change in milk conditions, than
any other time to date. The exanina-

a larger number that are clean. The

While the Since band played the
"Star Spangled Banner" the whistles
blew and the crowds cheered, the last
batch Of Glass / men registered from
Kenosha, June 5, 1917, took its depart
ure for Camp Zachary Taylor, to begin
training for overseas service.
There were ffty-fve men in the
squad that left at $3.50 last night and
they were shown the same honors that
had been shown to the departing squads
heretofore. In fact, if there was any
difference they were shown greater
honor, for the crowd was handled bet
ter so that it did not have the oppor-
tunity to rush in and get in-the way
and interfere with the proper work of
the officials as it has done on near
ly every occasion any considerable
number of men have been sent away
from Kenosha.
The crowd last night was handled
by platoon of city police and Com
pany B, of the state guard under the
command of Captain Thomas B. Tenn
pie. The selected men were escorted
to the station by these two squads of
men after being modified at the Ar
mory. In stead of marching out Mar
ket street as heretofore and being
beaten to the station by the crowd,
through which it was almost impossi-
bic to get through and utterly impos
sible at times heretofore for the ex-
emption board to get the men as
sembled in close formation so that the
roll could be called to see If every man
was on hand, the men were marched
down JENNIE street.
A big crowd had assembled on Mar
ket street between the Armory and the
station, waiting for the procession to
come along that way as usual. ALI
was in readiness at the Armory to move
as soon as the band came along. The
crowd on the sidewalk was also in
readiness to rush on ahead Of the pro-
session and get in it's way when the
Dand came. The band came but in
stead of stopping at the Armory it

platoon, which was in readiness for the
word to go, fell right into line while
Company B and the selected men cane
out of the Armory and marched north
to Jenne street and on out to the sta
ton while the crowd was wondering
What was going on.
As soon as the crowd saw the change
in the line of march from that of here
to fore they double quieked it to the
station, but the procession beat them
to it. The selected men were massed
on the north end of the station plat
form while, the band, Company B, and
the police marched farther south and.
held the crowd back so that the ex-
emption board could attend to ealing

OF course there was a corps of the
Red Cross women there and when the
train pulled in they went through the
cars which were set apart for the Ke-
nosha men and placed bottles of pop,
packages of cigarettes, packages of to-
baeco and other comforts for the de-
parting soldiers in the windows by
their seats. The last thing the soldiers
did before leaving was to give three
rousing cheers for the Red Cross.
AS the boys were entraining the
band truck up the tune "Auld Lang
Syne," the whistle of an engine began
to blow, which was the signal for every
whistle in the town to blow, and for
two or three minutes there was a per-
feet bedlam of whistle blowing and
bells ringing and crowds cheering all
over the town as send-off to the de-
parting soldiers. BY this time the
soldiers were loaded on the ears, the
band played "The Star Spangled Ban
