is the least expensive building material you can
buy
There was time when it was commonly
believed that homes, to be beautiful, must be
big and expensive and that only the well-to-do
could afford them.
To-day throughout the land, there are be-
ing built small, inexpensive homes of wood
that bear every mark of charm, distinction and
convenience, for it has been found that design
and arrangement and not costly materials or
huge size, are the real essentials of beauty in
home building.
Nine out of every ten of these homes are
built of wood because beauty, coziness and
homeyness are best obtainable by building with
good, seasoned lumber and lumber is the least
expensive building material you can buy to-day.
Keep in mind the importance of good
lumber, the permanence of your home depends
upon it. To obtain dependable lumber of uni
form high quality in all grades, see us.

FUTURE MOVIES.

In ten years the motion picture will rival
grand opera as an artistic production
This is the prophecy, not by the ghost of
Bill Nye talking over the ouija board, but by
Samuel L. Rothafel, celebrated designer and di-
rector of the Capital Theater in New York
If Rothafel is right, the movies have long
way to go and it will have to be at fast clip.
The movies, however, come in for lot Of
unjust criticism. Critics forget that the mo-
ton picture is a baby among the various kinds
of theatrical entertainments
1t took thousands of years for the legitimate
stage to develop modern scenic effects Even
in Shakespeare day, scenery consisted of a
bare stage with signs like ''This is forest" or
"This is street in Rome"
The movies are like everything else. Amer
leans expect new device to be perfected the
day after it is invented
Do you remember the movies, back before the
days of John Bunny? Compared with the
present, they we're mechanical frights.
Movie photography has become an art.
The ibadly-ventilated vacant storeroom in
which movies were exhibited 10 years ago has
developed into an art-palace.
The best of modern movie acting, too, is an
art alongside the crude s.ladowland acting OF
decade ago.
The only real fault in the movies that they
tell the wrong stories = often stupid or asin-
inc. Time will change that

taxed to death - he probably does not know
what he is talking about. The other pirates
about the reduction Of taxes - he is just a
liar This report of the state tax commission
shows that the man who says he is going to
reduce your taxes doesn't believe in history re-
peating itself. He may come from West Allis
where the people pay per capita tax of some
$7483 a year and he thinks that this must be
reduced when he finds that Kenosha people pay
per capita tax of $42.O8 If he has happened
to look through this report of the tax commits
sion he knows that taxes have been increas-
ing just as the cost of living increases and
that for the twenty leading cities Of the state
the difference between the taxes paid does not
amount to more than five dollar bill per
capita.
Kenosha people get about as must for their
taxes as the people of any other city In addi-
ton to this they have the advantage of low wa
ter rates and of low insurance rates made pos
sibe by the development of high grade fire
department. With these items taken into con-
sideration it is not improbable that the Kenosha
per capita tax could drop below those Of all
other cities of her class.
Cities that are forward looking appreciate
the fact that it costs money to operate them.
They want to look forward regardless of this
fact and they have to dig into their pocket books
to make the forward looking possible.

Daily Health Hint
ASTHMA.

Asthma is one Of those general
names which might mean any one Of
several very different ailments. 1t is
applied by the layman to various con-
ditions associated with extreme diff
Guilty in breathing. Thus you hear of
cardiac asthma, renal asthma and hay
fever asthma. All imply difficulty in
breathing.
Bronchial asthma is the commonest.
The fact that there are so many
causes for this sort of asthma is one
of the great reasons why there are
so many sufferers.
The greatest fundamental in most
asthma cases is a disordered nervous
system. The great nerves affecting
breathing are disturbed, thus bringing
about spasms of the bronchial appar-,
atus, and swelling of their mucous
membrane Innings.
The asthma victim need hardly fear
dying in a seizure, however dreadful
it may ,,..ssc, ear to himself or an on
TheNq on whether or not asthma
can be ce@ed depends on whether or
not its cause or causes can be found
and removed.
Various climates may have to be
tried. One which is fairly dry, of
moderate altitude and fairly free from
dust is right in most eases, but not in
all. Strangely enough, the air of CT
ties<suits many sufferers better than
the purer rural air.
For the elderly asthmatic, outdoor
life with walking, golf, or riding in
moderation, is the thing. Such exer
cises should be stopped well within
fatigue. The open air life should be-
come habitual
Proper diet and hygiene will be ex-
planned in detail by the physician.

Of all because he owns coal mines. The
bridge from coal mines to newspapers
is made Of wood.
In his coal mines SHINES needed
great quantities Of wood for snoring
up seams and for many other kinds
of construction in the pits. To assure
himself steady, ample supply of
cheap wood, he bought great forest
tracts in East Prussia and Finland.
Then his restless brain got busy again.
He had the timber and he had the
coal. Why not ship the coal to where
the timber stood and manufesare val
liable wood products osls0sese, paper
pulp and papers
So one fine dag Germany learned
that loads of 8sirGsa coal were going
across Germany to East Prussia,
where, in SHINES mills, trees were
converted into SHINES paper and in
Koenigsburg and another in North
Germany. In his own neighborhood
of Westphalia there was asmill which
manufactured fine note paper, SO he
bought that, too.

KENOsHA AND HER TAXES

When some fellow leans over the back fence
and tells you that Kenosha has the highest
taxes in Wisconsin - just take his statement
with grain of salt and be convinced that he
is talking from ignorance of real conditions.
Most people go out and base the taxes paid on
the rate of mill tax accessed and a report that
has recently been issued by the state tax COM
mission indicates that lot of cities are ma
lgned by their tax rate. A tax rate does not
mean nluchH The real thing to find out is what
the per capita tax of city or village is and it
may be surprising to know that with this as the
measure Kenosha is far down the list among
Wisconsin cities and villages. To be more exact
there are twenty-eight organized cities in Wis
consin where the per capita tax is higher than
in Kenosha and it can be added that most of
the people of Kenosha wouldn't consider NOV
ing to any one of these cities for minute
Taxes are usually discussed by two classes of
politicians One of them declare that you are

Voice of the People
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
A few days ago happened to read
In the News, which, get every day,
about the nurse warning people not to
pick flowers, ETC., of the grounds sur
rounding Willowbrook sanitarium and
the next letter from '"FTee Bee" who
claims to be high school student, he
or she, it not matters. By my expert
ence the good nurse should be given
credit for giving the advice. In the
first place she knows more of the dam
gers to peoples health and probably
she forgot more than Tee Bee will
ever learn to know. Tee Bee speaks
that the patients should not be care
less and cxpectorate or rather in plain
words "spit on the grounds" Here's
one for him. / have spent ten days
in base hospital and right at pres
ent I'm visiting it every few days and
there's no hospital more strict as fal
as rules go than army hospitals, but
| haven't seen any rules forbiding to
spit on the ground-that's what the
ground is for. Of course some per-
SOAS w iOI huOW tHS QluGF60Ce De-
tween ground and walk. You go
and try to pick flowers off the army
hospital grounds and see where you go.
To the brig for about thirty days,
and two-thirds of your pay. Let me
tell you Tee Bee, instead of picking
any flowers, plants, etc., from the san
itarium~ grounds people should and it's
their duty to bring and plant some
more, and show their good will towards
the institution, put some cheer to it,
and next time any of the nurses tries
to advise the people don't say h.
She Us trying to tell US what to do,
trying to boss US. Good work, nurse
keep it up and don't let some persons
who think they know all, but know
very little of your sacrifices to the
good of people try to tell you how
things should be-, etc. Congratulations
