''PAY THE PRICE"
SAYS SIMMONS

charge of the meeting, spoke unani-
mously in favor of the guarantee plan.
Martin Whittier, in speaking on the
q North Side Problem declared that
transportation was as serious for the
south side OF Kenosha as for the part
on the other side of the Main street
bridge. He stated that petition had
been signed to have the street cars
continue their cars to the city limits
in order to move the terminal from its
present location since one property
owner was holding up the internrban
project because of this situation. Mil
ton Dowse spoke briefly in favor of the
building of more adequate school facili-
ties and explained that the housing
situation was still acute here and would
be greatly remedied il the six per cent
plan could be adopted.
In the general round table discussion
which followed, "pitiless publicity"
was suggested as the best method to
deal with those persons who insisted on
standing in the way Of the progress of
the city. 1t was decided that the mem
bership should attend the meeting of
the council on Monday to support the
claims which they have advanced for
various ways Of helping out the street
ear situation.
A new transportation committee, con-
sisting of O. B. d'Aust, w. H. Afford
and George n. Cook, was appointed
to push the plans adopted by the
meeting to secure transportation facili-
ties before the snow flies.
This committee with W. H. Afford
as chairman, is to draft contract be-
tween the Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company and the city of Kenosha,
authorizing the utility to make extern
sions of car lines and guaranteeing six
per cent on the investment under prop
er restrictions. This contract will be
presented to the City Council for ap-
proval and later submitted to the Rail
road Commission and to the people for a
referendum vote It was the sense of
the meeting that the light vote cast at
the recent referendum election did not
/, satisfactorily reflect the will of the
people.

Feeders for street Cars.

A suggestion was made at the meet
ing by Miss Virginia Wulff that some
plan might be devised to use automo-
biles as feeders for the street cars in
the districts now not reached by the
company. This it was pointed out
would furnish a plan for immediate
solution of the problem in one of the
worst districts and could be made
temporary so as not to interfere with
the prospects of the company. The pro-
ject met with favorable comment and
it is possible that it will receive furth-
err consideration at later meeting.
The meeting was full Of the same
enthusiasm which has marked several
previous gatherings Of the Chamber of
Commerce. Much of the success Of it
was due to the work of Chairman
Bailey and Mittelstaed Of the civic af-
fairs and entertainment committee
who arranged for the meeting.
Make New Nominations.
Following the discussion Of the trans
pnrtation problem, Secretary Francis
presented the report of the dominating
committee for the selection five new
directors of the Chamber Of Commerce,
made necessary by the fact that the
terms of four will expire in the near
future and that DIR. George F. Adams
has resigned because he has found it
impossible to devote time from his pro-
fession to the duties of the Office. The
nominating committee suggested the
/ following names from which the direc-
tors are to be elected in the near
future: w. H. Afford, H. E, Barden,
Adam Berger, Captain Edward Dayton,
Ferd Dunehacke, M. j. Isermann, John
G. Joachim, w. ID. Martin, George
Roberts and George S. Whyte Ballots

lar election meeting which is to be

SKIN ABLAn
WITH ECZEMA

waited case of Eczema. the itching

vinced that Eczema is nothing but
blood trouble. for after taking sew
eral bottles of s. S. s.. l am entirely

Years of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause of
disease can be definitely deter
mined. and the proper method of
treatment employed. Hence those
afflicted with Eczema will continue
to suffer as long as they consider
the disease a condition of the skin,
and rely solely upon local applica-
tons of salves, ointments and
similar remedies. IF you really
want to be cured you must realize
that the disease is in the blood,
and you can expect relief only
from treatment that is directed to-
ward cleansing the blood of the
disease germs. This is why S.S.S.
is so successful in the treatment of
Eczema and all other diseases of
the blood; because it acts as an
antidote to any impurity that finds
lodgment in the blood. Being
purely vegetable and guaranteed
not to contain a particle of min
eral substance. it is an exception
ally fine tonic. and besides elimin-
ating from the blood all traces of
impurity. it builds up and strength
ems the entire system at the same
time.
We invite everyone afflicted with
Eczema. or other blood or skin
disease, to write our medical de-
partment for advice, which is
gladly given without charge. Full
instructions as to how to treat your
own individual case will be gladly

"a fine end we have come to! The

One felt among friends. This COM
radeship was what endeared the Rus
sian soldier to my heart. Not the
comradeship of the agitators. not the
comradeship so loudly proclaimed In
the Bolshevik manifestoes and pro-
clamations. but the true comradeship
that made the three years in the
trenches the happiest of my life. That
old spirit again filled the air. 1t was
almost too good to be real. After
the nightmare OF revolution and ter
ror, 1t felt like a dream. The soldiers
were actually cursing Bolshevism. de-
nouncing Lenine and Trotzky!
"How does it happen that you talk
so sanely?' I asked.
Because the Germans are moving
on Moscow, and Lenine and Trotzky
don't even snap their fingers" came
in answer "A soldier has escaped
from Kiev and just telegraphed that
the Germans are seizing Russians and
sending them to Germany to help fight
the allies. Lenine and Trotzky told
us that the allies were our enemies.
We now see that they are our
friends"
Another soldier. who had been home
on leave. told of an armed Red Guard
detachment that descended on his viii
lage one fair day and robbed the peas
ants of all the bread they had. the
product of their sweat and blood, ex-
posing them to starvation.
The people are hungry, that's why
they join the Red Guard" one OF the
men remarked. AT least then they
get food and arms with which TO

is not safe unless he belongs to the
Red Guard"

CONSTANT ITCHING ALMOST
UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with Ecze-
ma. with its terrifying irritation and
ceaseless itching know what con-
slant torture this disease can cause.
The disease appears in different
ways. sometimes with a reddening
and irritation of the skin. some
times in the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form of
a dry. scaly condition of the skin
that cracks and peeis. But no mat
ter in what form the disease ap-
pears. it IS a source Of constant
fiery irritation that it well-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
a skin disease. This is a natural
mistake. as it attacks the skin and
it is through the skin that it causes
so much discomfort and suffering.
But the real seat of the disease
is the blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood. and the irritated
and diseased condition of the skin
is the result of the germs trying
to break out of the system. Be
yond the use of antiseptics to pro-
mote cleanliness. there is no local
treatment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease.
And those who have been relying
altogether upon salves. soaps. oint-
ments and other local applications
to the skin will find that no per
manent good will come from such
treatment by itsei;.

who resides on Confederate Ave

from this terrifying disease. after
all local treatment had failed. He
