GERMAN TURNS DOWN
ONE CANDIDATE
Man without Patriotic Button Fails
to Get Advertising In One store
on Elizabeth Street.

There is one German in Kenosha
who is loyal to the United States and
he is not afraid to say so. He runs
a grocery store over on Elizabeth street
and he showed his loyalty this morn
ing. The store is a pretty popular
place among lot of people in the
neighborhood and its windows have
been a place for the posting of
candidate s cards,
"Got a good many cards in your
window one candidate said to the
German this morning. sfSure, he re-
sponded. 81 want to give them all the
same privileges around here"
"Well I guess I will put up one Of
my big cards. the candidate contin-
ued and he pulled it out and began
arranging it in the best space in the
window. He sized it up and decided
that the job was about as good as he
could do and started to leave the store.
"Wait a minute the storekeeper
shoutde to him. FWhere is your
patriot $ fund butong How many Lib
erty Loan bonds have you bought"
"I don It do those things the can
didate told the storekeeper and there
was just a suspicion of a wink as he
said it. "Wen you just take that
damned card out of my window and
get out Of here' was the prompt re-
Spouse Of the storekeeper. This man
was born in Germany but he has some
of the Red, White and Blue blood in
him and he served notice that every
candidate who got any advertising at
his store would be subscriber to
Liberty Loan issues and would wear a
Patriot s Fund button.

then went down.

then went down.
The torpedo hit us about six
o'clock on the evening of February
9th. Two hours later we were still
afioat. So you see the Huns did a
pretty poor job of it after all. If
they d been as good as they think they
are we'd have gone down in twenty
minutes and most US would have sunk
with the boat
Ireland is pretty but funny.
Everything IS so small The houses are
low and built of brick. The railroad
engines are little, but like the tin
lizzies in Kenosha they travel right
along.
When the boat went down it took
all of our tobacco with it. We've
missed the cigarettes most terribly
and would appreciate a few boxes of
them from home. The Y. NJ, G. A. s
here have been fine to us. They we
given us all the tobacco they had but
it wasn't nearly enough to supply so
many American soldiers. The smokes
help lots - SO if you see anyone who
wants to do us a good turn mention
cigarettes and tell him to send us
some.''
All of the letters have the true sol
der ring. They give evidence of a
keen observation, q appy-go-lucky op-
timism, and with it seriousness that
promises well for America and her Al
hes Men who can laugh and smile
when a ship is sinking beneath them
are going over the top in the same
spirit = the spirit that "gets by"
and brings back prisoners.

Mrs. Arthur Fisher this morning, "but
we can accomplish it if the women will
only respond as pat.iotically as they
should.''
That interest in the Surgical Ores

Nash factory. The new group will hold
its first meeting on Thursday evening
at which time Mrs. Fisher will initiate
the patriotesses into the mysteries of
making pads and dressings for the
"mutiles' out there.
New impetus has been given to the
work Of the department by the fol

Edith l.. Glass Of the Chicago branch:
"Your shipment under date Of Jan

the work most beautifully done. Kind

this morning as she completed a pad

DIR. MURPHY IN CHARGE
Child Specialist Will Conduct Free Elk
aminations of Kenosha Babies
Nurses Will Aid Babies Hour
on Tuesday Afternoon.

Despite the shortage of milk, wheat,
and sweets, since the outbreak of the
war, Kenosha babies will not anguish
and die of malnutrition if their moth
ers will only take advantage of the
latest innovation at the Kenosha hos
pital Hereafter the institution will
conduct a baby clinic at which mothers
can learn the truth about their child
rem and receive advice regarding the
care and treatment which will restore
the " kiddies' = to health and happiness.
According to the program now ar
ranged the "babies hour will fall
on Tuesday afternoon from 100 to
200 O'Clock. The plan provides that
all children brought to the Kenosha
hospital at that time shall be examin-
ed, weighed, and measured by experts
in order that their mothers may know
exactly their condition and their needs
DR.. w. S. Murphy, specialist in
children's diseases, will have general
charge of the clinic. He will be as
sisted in his work by the nurses at the
hospital all of whom have had excel
lent training in the diagnosis and treat
ment of the ills Of infancy. The serv-
ices of the physician and his aids will
be given gratis and will consequently
afford all mothers in Kenosha an OPP
portunity of learning whether their
children are near the danger line or
are only needing slight change of
food or care to make them the sound
sleeping, lusty-lunged, youngsters they
can and should be.
The first session Of the clinic will
be held at the Kenosha hospital on the
afternoon of Tuesday, March 18th.
Mothers, whose babies are complain
ing0 are urged to help themselves and
their children by reporting at the hos
pital and receiving there the diagno-
sis and advice of baby-experts.
The movement now ipaugurated by
the Kenosha hospital is in keeping
with a nationwide campaign for better
babies. Since the outbreak of the war
a decreased birth-rate and an increased
death-rate among infants have brought
America face to face with the prospect
of a childless generation unless some
thing is done and done Immediately
to check the ravages of malnutrition
possibly caused by an over-zeal for
conservation. This is the situation that
the clinic will relieve, provided, to be
sure, it receives the proper cooperation
from Kenosha mothers.
In connection with the session of
next Tuesday afternoon the nurses at
the hospital will demonstrate proper
methods of preparing milk and there
by give invaluable aid to mothers who
are inexperienced in the gentle art Of
fixing Mellen's Food or Peptogenic.
The establishment of the baby clinic
is an evidence of Kenosha s alertness
to wartime needs. Following the ex-
ample of England and France, the city
has realized that the babies of today
are the soldiers and civilians of to-
morrow and that the continuation of
national ideals depends upon their
health and strength. Accordingly it is
doing its part to check the death-rate
among infants and thereby to safe
guard the United States against the
pitiable conditions which are now pre-
valent in Serbia, Austria and Russia.
