That women in the service of hu-
mainly can return in honor as well as
men IN the service Of country, has
been successfully demonstrated by
Miss Esther Gottieb and Mrs. Elsie

The young women are again in Ke-
nosha after making an enviabIe rec
ord in Milwaukee, where they have
been working in the Public Health
Department as a part of their regular
course of study in the local training
school. Each of them was a real sensa-
tion in the < big town. and conse-
quently did much to confirm Kenosha IS
reputation for efficiency in all lines of
work requiring skill or artistry.
Both Miss Gottlieb and Mrs. Jensen
received fattering offers in Milwau-
kee but refused them al to return to
Kenosha for a completion of their
course with the local hospital school.
Mrs. Jensen will now take special
course of training under the direction
of Miss Fuller, now working in Column
bia county under the auspices Of the
University Extension Course, while
Miss Gottlieb viii complete her work

only upon themselves, but also upon
the Kenosha Hospital Training School
which gave them their first instruc-
ton and made possible their work in
Milwaukee.

HEAL TIL AND EFFICIENCY
By HERBERT L. WRIGHT, M. D.
Questions on Hygiene and Sanitation Answered Free

Sick people, especially sick children,
should be looked upon with suspicion
until a positive diagnosis is made, at
least to the extent that they be avoid
ed instead of visited. Do not permit
your child to visit or play with one
who mas sore throats or is sick until
you know what the trouble is, and
whether or not it is communicable, you
have no right to allow your child to
take such chances as it may not only
mean death to your own, but may also
jeopardize the health and lives of other
peoples children, which is not sane
toned by law or any rule of reason.
If it is really necessary to do so,
we viii ask you to pardon US for MAX
ing the following remark, bat. in view
of the fact THAT we would rather see
you get mad at us than to see your
children dead, we are going to say some
very plain, matter of fact, and you may
think very pointed things. 1T would
seem that fathers and mothers would
be willing to devote time and study to
their children s living conditions and
yet we find entirely too many who do
not and are very Indifferent about their
children and their surroundings, and
we believe it is some one IS duty to
teach such parents something of the
value of environment especially as it
effects the growing child with its grow
ing mind and growing habits. It is
just possible that We would be inclined
to be rather harsh with parents who
neglect their children if we were on
the bench, but we come in contact with
people, who in our Judgment, are far
from being competent or proper Gus
todians of their own children and it
certainly would be much better for the
children and much cheaper for the tax
payer to assume control of them now
than to prosecute and care for them
later as criminals. Clean hands, we
believe, is one of the most essential
things in keeping children free from
disease, and clean bodies are not only
desirable but necessary, and there arc
homes $50 called at least) in this city
where the children never get a bath,
and we were told by the children, only
a few days ago, in one of these So
called homes, that they had not had
bath since the schools closed for the
holidays, so the only baths these chill
dren get are at the school, therefore, it
would appear that instead of closing
the schools as some have suggested
when we have eontagion among the
school children-that we had better
keep them open the year around, and
we believe that we will be compelled
to go into some of these places and see
that they are cleaned up and made fit

places for children to live in. The
care of the teeth is of much more i'm
portance than seems to be realized by
many. All decayed teeth, whether tenn
porary or permanent, should be filled
or otherwise definitely treated, and
cases of malocculsion (deformed teeth)
should have the care of the dentist
dnring early childhood, and in these
cases as in case of decay do not wait
until it is too late and then expect the
dentist to do the impossible. The fact
that a child is young does not mean
that Gin addition to the daily brush
ing) it does not need to go to the dent
ist every 3 or months for thorough
cleaning of the teeth which will pre-
vent most of the decay.
No item in all the wonderful meas
ures for the health care of the soldiers
in the trenches of Europe is more sig
nlficent than the treatment of the
teeth provided by the automobile den
tai offices used in France and other
countries, should not our children-the
future citizens as much at
tentfons Simple as it may seem some
people do not know how to clean or
brush teeth, they are apparently only
aware of the front part of the tooth
and neglect the back and sides, which
need attention quite as badly as the
fPnn IN III h
for the back and front of the teeth,
dental floss (Which is waxed silk
thread) should be used between the
teeth. Certainly there is nothing that
parents can do which is of more impor-
lance to their children than to see that
they get practical training in personal.
health habits.
In addition to the personal interest
OF the parents, it is very helpful, in
fact, essential if the best possible re-
suits are to be obtained, that not only
unselfish individuals, but the different
societies, clubs and organizations which
should be and usually are interested
In the welfare of children, do their
part In impressing upon children, while
they are children, the Importance of
these vital health measures. The re-
examination of the school children this
year reveals the fact, which is indeed
very encouraging, that quite large
number of them have had their physi-
cal defects corrected or partially so,
intending the removal of diseased tom
sis and adenoids growths, the remov-
al Of decayed teeth snch as were not

to do with the general health of the

WHICH?
tsThe Price of Good Ti1ne'' Now
Showing at The Majestic Raises
an Interesting Question.

(which is the better-to live years
and years of wholesome happiness or
one little hour Of crowded life teening
with luxury and love9"
This is the interesting moral ques-
ton raised, by the photo-play, "The
Price of a Good Time" now showing
at the New Majestic Theater with Lois
Weber as the sad-eyed, sad-lived, lit
tie girl who threw her young life away
for a little week of pleasure, ending in
tragic wretchedness.
The picture is realistic, entertaining,
and more than either of these stimu-
lative to deep thought on very vital
question facing thousands and thous-
ands of young women in all parts of
the United States.
AS to the story = "Linnieo is ga
little white girl on the great white
way" craving life and excitement vet
knowing only the gray unhappiness of
"a home blighted by sickness, ill-tenper,
and anarchy, when-enter: young Win
field, thoughtless boy eager for novel
ty and possessing sufficient wealth to
get it. The complications are at once
thrilling and tragic but so artistically
presented as to give no offense to even
the most exacting purist or moralist.
Yes - the cabaret scenes are a bit
salacious but the truth behind them
all more than redeems the little adj
ventures into the underworld of life
and love.

Echoes of the Americans struggle
for liberty in 1875 have been found by
War Department officials in their
search of the records of Hartford
county, Maryland, in connection with
perfecting title to the new army prov
ing ground. A detached document in
the clerk g files dated 1776 sets forth
the names of Is citizens of the region
who refused to sign a Declaration of
Independence, said to have been among
the first moves in that direction by
the American colonists. The reasons
given in refusing to sign present a
vivid picture Of the perturbed state of
mind Of the colonists. The document
reads:
"Benj. Herbert, Jr., refuses to sign
through religious principles.
"Michael Boser don Z sign by reason
he don't choose.
fThomas West don It sign by reason
it is mystery to him.
Philip Cummins don It by reason he
don t understand the matter.
John Ward don It sign by reason the
Congress don It sign and by reason he
thinks that if the English gain the day
then Congress and the great people will
turn the scale and say the comronality
of people forced them to stand in oppo-
sition to the English.
"John Clark don sign by no reason
he can give.
"Ephraim Arnold don It sign for fear
it would fetch him into scrape.
Isaac Penrose don't sign for rea-
son he don't choose to fight for liberty
and never will.
"Benj. Fleetwood refuses to sign.
He says he will 60 in vessel; will not
fight by land.
Samuel Gollion says if he should
sign he may fetch on himself that he
cannot go through.
Richard Spencer says he cannot
write nor read and shall not sign any
paper.

The woman-Who-W anted-To-Know

The Woman w no. w anted-To-kn0w
visited the Food Administrator in
Washington the other day.
81 realize the great necessity OF
saving food for the Allies, she said,
and want to do my part. But one
thing perplexes me"
She smiled slightly.
tsTell me'' she said, 'safter the food
once gets into the retail stores, what
difference does it make whether I buy
it or not. In either case the Allies will
not get it. My grocery store, for in
stance, always seems to have plenty of
wheat -four on hand. If OF some one
else does not buy that flour, it win
only be left on the store-keeper s
hands. -
1t is the same with meat - she went
on. The Food Administration tells Us
to save meat for the Allies by buying
less of it and eating more eggs, poultry,
fish, cheese, etc, instead. But my mcat
market is always full of meat OF all
| kinds. If [ and other women don It
buy it, it will only be left to spoil on
| the hands of the meat man and be
wasted. Please explain to me how our
not buying what is in the retail stores
in any way insures the food for the Al
| lies. Is there some arrangement where
| by the retailers can turn over to the
government from time to time their
surplus stock to be sent to the Alliesf"
No, there is no such arrangement
between the government and retail
stores, for such system of collecting
food for the Allies would be impracti-
cable. The surplus stock of the ro-
tailers would vary so from time to
time that the government would never
know ahead how much food could be
spared for Europe.
Tt is safe to say, then, that after the
food once gets into the retail store,
it will never go to help feed the
Allies.
| Why, then, does the Food Admins
tration urge us to buy less of wheat,
meat, sugar, and dairy products, even
when we see all these foods in album
dance in the stores, and when as The
Woman Who W anted To- Know points
out, if these foods are not sold, they
will only spoil on the hands of tho
dealer and be wasteds
The answer is this. The demand al
ways creates the supply. In other words
shareholders do not waste money in
laying in stock Of goods that people
will not buy. For this reason they do
not stock up very far ahead, but they
aim always to keep just abreast of the
demand, either ahead or behind it.
| Thus the key to the supply is al
ways in the hands Of the buyer. If
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1918-02-07

housekeepers buy a less amount of
wheat, meat, sugar, and dairy products
than in former times, the retailers are
going to buy smaller amounts of these
foods from the wholesale dealers.
Hence, a national surplus is created
which can be spared to feed the Allies.
It is important to remember, how
ever, that in order that this simple me-
thod of saving food for the Allies should
succeed, every housekeeper must keep
steadily lowered demand for those
commodities that are wanted for
Europe
For instance, if one week you and
your neighbor stop buying meat and
butter altogether and then the next
week buy extravagantly of these foods,
you will be responsible for great deal
of waste. The dealer viii be at a loss to
know how to guage the demand made
on him, and the surplus meat and but
ter he has left on his hands the week
you were not buying any, may DO
wasted.
Such loss can be avoided, if you will
buy evenly instead of systematically.
Don It follow the program of the Food
Administration one day and be .indif-
ferent to it the next. Establish the
habit of buying lesser amounts than
formerly of wheat, meat, sugar, and
dairy products so that your dealer will
know in general what the demand for
these goods will be and not overstock
with them. Especially is this import
ant if you buy bread from the bakery.
Let your baker know your order twenty
four hours IN advance so that he oan
lay in a supply that will just cover the
demand and no unsold loaves viii be
wasted.
Remember always that you, the Amer
lean Houseneeper, hold the key to the
World s Grocery and Meat Market. If,
every time you get food for your family,
you are careful to take less from the
shelves of supplies that can be shipped
to the Allies and make up for this de-
ficiency by taking more fruit, vege-
tables, non-wheat cereals, fish, poultry,
eggs, cheese, etc, the Allies will not
starve.
And what does this mean?
It means victory for us. But it
means more, more even than the saw
inc nf hundradc and thousands Of b,,
man lives.
It means that by splendid democ-
rattle fooe-control, voluntarily carried
out, the Americans shall have proved
themselves worthy of the great gift of
freedom and democracy for which their
forefathers died and for which their
youths are today pouring out their
heart IS blood!

NEW COURSE FOR TEACHES.
State University Plans TO offer Special
Course for Teachers of the
Vocational Schools.


Special effort is being made to train
teachers in home economies for the
vocational schools which are TO be es-
tablished In the state as a result of
the passage of the Smith Hughes bill.
Beginning With the term which starts
IN February 10, the University of Wis
eonsin will offer two years course in
Home Economics. This viii be open to
high school graduates or to residents
OF the state who are past 81 years of
age. The course will lead to the
granting of a special license by the
state board for teaching in vocational
schools, and students will be permitted
to apply much of the credit received
in the two years in the regular four
year home economies course, should
they decide to elect this.
Candidates from normal schools viii
be permitted to substitute their credits
in similar courses for certain courses
in the proposed schedule. The state
board viii also allow graduates or SEN
iors in the regular four-year course in
home economics to be certifcated by
electing the teachers course in voca-
ti0nal education, and even if all the
requirements are not completed, the
student may be eertifcated to teach
in the schools the coming year.
