Health Thermometers In
stalled in Office of the
Board of Health.
SHOWS ALL CONTRACTION
Health Officers Enabled to Dis
cover Dangers which May
Affect City's Children.

A wonderful new system for the bet
ter protection of the health Of the city
was being installed at the office of the
health commissioner today. 1t consist
ed of nearly score of "health therm.
ometers" which will decorate one whole
side of the Office Of the city depart
ment and which will show to the people
at all times the exact conditions in the
city ,as relating to communicable dis
eases 1t will act as a bulletin board
showing at all times the danger which
may be coming from diphtheria, scarlet
fever smallpox, chicken pox, whooping
cough typhus, tuberculosis, infantile
paralysis and all other diseases which
are regarded by health boards as com
municable and contagious diseases. 1t
is so simple that any person interested
in the study Of public health can tell
at a glance just what the conditions
ARE. 1t will require the report of every
case of the diseases. named and it will
show these cases just. as soon as they
are reported.
Gives Warming of Epidemic.
The thermometers will not only show
the number of eases of diseases in the
Itv at the time in question but it will
show the number of cases in the year
1920, 1919 and in addition the average
number of cases for the seven year
period The danger signals will be
clearly shown in the devices so that
immediate action can be taken to put
safeguards about the children of the
city in case there is a development
which indicates the possible develop
ment of an epidemic. The figures furn-
ished on the devices will be strictly in
keeping with official reports and every
report will be registered.
Windesheim Stirling fer Plan,
"The value of this plan must appeal
clearly to any one who is interested in
the protection of 'he public against
disease" said DR.. Windesheim. an the
past we have been handicapped on ac-
count of the fact that at times we could
not know the exact conditions. The
work in the Office sometimes made it
impossible to keep track of just what
reports were being made but with the
new system we can tell every morning
just where there may be danger spot
and we can take, immediate steps to re-
move the danger. The plan is one which
has the strong commentator of the
state board of health and it is more
extended than the plan used by this
board. 1t is a system which can be
carried forward with the minimum Of
expense. What, we want is that the
people of the city watch these health
thermometers just as they watch the
thermometer down at the corner drug
store or one the back porch at their
home, If they will do this we feel that
we will be certain of better co-opera-
ton in making Kenosha a more health
full city"

WILL REORGANIZE
MILK PRODUCERS
Resignation of Kittle to be
Followed by a Complete
Reorganization.
TO BE AGGRESSIVE

A thorough reorganization Of the
Milk Producers association, also known
as the Cooperative Marketing com
pany, is to be made following the resig
nation of W. j. Kittle, today as gem
eral manager of the association, with
headquarters in Chicago.
The majority of dairymen of Racine
and Kenosha counties, especially those
in the middle and western districts Of
the two counties, are members Of the
association which for years has deter
mined the prices of milk to be paid the
dairymen by milk handling companies
throughout Wisconsin, Illinois and In
diana. Frank Holt of Kenosha is presi-
dent of the organization.
Committee Takes Charge.
As a result of the unexpected resig-
nation of Kttle, an executive commit
tee consisting Of 7. j. Williams, Ster-
ling, ILL.,, A. C! Stoxson, Bassett Wis,
and T. R. Keen, Wheeler, Ind, has been
appointed to direct the affairs of the
association until new general man
ager is selected.
In a statement issued today by the
executive committee the associations
net quick assets are given at 100000
and there is an additional 100000 in
vested IN plants and real estate. Of
the 100000 it. is claimed that all is
clear excepting $4,000 now due.
Figured in Many Actions.
The Milk Producers association has
figured in many legal actions it being
claimed that the associs on was organ
lied for the sole purpose of fixing the
price of milk to be paid the dairymen.
Action was brought in the circuit court
for Racine county in an effort to dis
solve the corporation when it clashed
with condensed milk companies in Ra
cine county over the price of milk de-
livered at the factories.
The fight resulted in the sale of the
interests of C. B. McCanna in the Wis
consin Condensed Milk company, being
sold to the Nestles Food company.
The Wisconsin Condensed Milk COM
pany operated large plants at Burling-
ton, Gray's lake and recatonica. Dairy
men, backed by the Milk Producers as
ISOLATION erected condensed>milk plants
and milk distributing plants at Bur
lington, Waterford and other points to
battle the Nestle's Food company and
other corporations and to those plants
the dairymen haul the entire milk prod
uct from their farms.

MARY BODE DIVORCED

II think they are both to blame"
This was the concluding evidence heard
by Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit
court this morning before he entered
an order that a decree of absolute
divorce be granted to Mrs. Mary Bode
in her suit against Matthias Bode, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Bode
Brothers company. The evidence was
given by Madeline Bode, the pretty
seventeen year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bode, who had just been in
formed by the court that she would be
permitted to elect as to whether her
mother or her father would have the
custody of her future. Miss Bode was
called after the principals and attor-
neys in the case had spent more than
an hour in the Office of the court seek
ing to make final ironing out Of the
conditions for the granting of the de-
cree and the division of the estate.
Gets Largest Settlement.
Under the terms Of the decree Mrs.
Bode will receive the largest settle
ment ever paid in divorce suit in
Kenosha county. She will receive as
her portion Of the estate $4,000 in
cash, division of the household furni-
ture and a Chandler automobile. Her
attorney, Peter Meyers of Racine, es-
timated the value of the property
turned over to her at close to thirty
thousand dollars while Attorney A. L.
Drury, who represented Mr.. Bode at
the final hearing today, said that he
did not believe it would amount to
quite that much 1t was said that the
plan for the settlement, ,stipula-
ton for which was signed in open
court just before noon was satisfactory
to both Mr.. and Mrs. Bode.
Family to be Divided.
Under the decree of divorce to be
entered during the day the three child
rem of Mr.. and Mrs. Bode will be di-
vided. The cecree provides that Mrs.
Bode shall have the custody Of the
youngest child, Marjorie Bode, the son,
Eugene Bode will be in the custody of
the father, and the daughter Made
line, will choose for herself, dividing
a legal custody between her mother
and her father. In addition Co the di-
vision of the estate liberal provision
was made for the support Of the child
rem. Madeline Bode will receive the
sum of 800 a month and Marjorie will
receive $50 a month for support and
education. The original draft of the
stipulation provided S75 for the sup
port of Eugene, but this was erased
when the custody of the only boy Of
the family was given to the defendant.
The settlement arrived at this morn
ing marks one of the most holly con-
tested divorce actions eevr brought in
Kenosha county and on account of the
prominence of the parties to the action
it has aroused wide interest The do
mestic troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Bode
have been a matter of Court action for
more than a year. One action started
for divorce was withdrawn and the
action on which the decree was grant
ed was started six weeks ago. The
only interesting witness before the
judge today was the eldest daughter
of the family. She testified to trou-
bles between her father and mother
featuring an assault. "It wasn't much
of a home" was the rather plaintive
response of the young lady to a ques-
ton to tell just what, the home con-
ditions had been.

DRAWS 50 DAYS
FOR BREAKING
INTO CHILD'S BANK
STEALS CASH FROM BABY'S
BANK. is ALSO WANTED
FOR OTHER THEFT

Thirty days in the county jail at
Ionia is what Dick Cramer drew
when he was arraigned before JUS.
tice Reed Friday on charge pre-
ferred against nm by Claude Muir
ray, of having broken into one of
the Murray children's banks and
having stolen the money which it
contained.
Cramer came to this city and put
up a hard luck storey TO Murray,
who decided to stake" him and as
sist him until he could get on his
feet. His wife went TO work in the
mill and as he was unable to get
work he fell to hanging around and
got in a card game and got stuck
for the chips on Thursday afternoon.
Being fiat broke and unable to pay,
he left the place and stated that he
would return in a few minutes with
sufficient money to take care of the
indebtedness, which he did. When
Murray saw his friend with money
he suspected where he got it and
going home at once, verified his be-
] lief by finding the bank gone, brok-
en- and the money taken. He con-
fronted Cramer with the facts in the
/ case and the latter denied it, until
he was arraigned in court, when he
confessed to the whole business,
plead guilty and was sent over the
: road to Ionia to mediate for 80
days that honesty is the best policy.
+ Police Officer Cook had received a
wire from Hart's resort, Whitefish
\ lake, that Cramer was wanted for
/ stealing sweates, travelling bag,
razor, hone, brush and other articles
and was Just about to make the ar
rest when the local charge was pre-
ferred against Cramer and it is the
opinion that when the prisoners
thirty days are up he will at once
be re-arrested on the Whtefish lake
theft charge.

LOCAL MAN WAS MIS-
TAKEN FOR CONVICT

The get away of insane convicts
from the Ionia asylum recently came
near getting our fellow townsman, j.
G.. Hicks in the hands of the officers
who were pursuing the escapers, one
uf whom eft the institution riding a
bike.
On the day following their break
for liberty, Mr.. Hicks wheeled to
Easton to visit the 'Connors and his
son-in-law in that township.
While passing a farm house, chill.
dren at play in the yard who had
been told by their parents to watch
out for bicycle riders, yelled at the
top of their voices, the hired man
gave close chase af .er Mr.. Hicks who
soon entered relatives home. His
pursuer raped at the door, calling
Mr.. Connor outside sid told him the
man who had Jdst gone in was an es-
capped convict from the insane asylum
and to hold him while he would run
to neighbors and telephone the Off
GERS at Ionia.
The hired man was soon put right
as to the identity of the man with
the wheel and his visions of reward
for his capture was dissipated. Mr..
Hicks who returned two or three
years ago from a busy life of thirty
years with the Pennsylvania railroad
lines, says it is the first time he was
ever mistaken for crazy man.
