OFFICIAL NOTICE

Commencing January 1st, 1923, col
lections of water rates will be made
quarterly instead of seni-annually as
heretofore.
The objcre in making the collections
quarterly is to reduce to minimum
all opportunities Of leakage or possi-
bilities Of meters being out of order.
1t will also enable property owners to
keep closer check on the amount Of
water used, and afford means for pro-
lection against any secret leaks that
may exist, before the losses from this
source amount to any considerable
sum.
The rates have not been changed and
and the plan Of quarterly collections
has prevailed with great success in the
City Of Milwaukee, as we'll as a dozen
or more other progressive municipali-
ties in the State of Wisconsin.
An ordinance providing for the
quarterly collections appears in an
other column Of this issue.

SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN

The directors of the Wauwatosa
Woman's Club have endorsed the Sal
vation Army Campaign, now in pro-
cess Of organization, and voluntary
committee is being arranged for the
Wauwatosa district.
The Army is asking the people of
Milwaukee County for 63,10O, to Be
used in the support of its various local
activities. The money raised in Wau-
watosa will all be applied on the main
tenance budget of the Ruscue Home &
Maternity Hospital, located at Forty
third and Story Parkway.
Although this institution was
opened only two months ago, twenty
nine beds have already been occupied
and nearly one hundred applicatiS4s
for admittance have been received.
Fourteen babies have been born
born there, the youngest mother be-
ing fourteen and the oldest twenty
two years. The Missing Friends Blu
reau of the Army and the Free Legal
Department cooperate with the Home
in locating the man involved and
bringing him to justice.
Another excellent institution,
opened since the. campaign of last
year, is the Fresh Air Camp at Army
Lake, East Troy, where twelve hun
dred of Milwaukee's poor children and
many of the mothers were given ten
days vacation last summer.

maintains at Madison and Hanover
streets, helped twenty-seven thousand
men. women and children in Milwau-
kee last year. 1t not only relieves the
immediate needs of a family, but
keeps In touch with its various mem
bers as long as any department of the
Army can be Of service. Classes in
sewing, cooking and general house
hold instruction are maintained for
the mothers of the neighborhood, and
general club facilities and supervised
recreation for the other members of
the family.
At 43 Juneau Avenue, the Salvation
Army gathers old clothes, fusniture
and miscellaneous articles. There It
also houses and boards men broken
by age and circumstances. They are
employed in Sorting newspapers, and
also in mending the furniture which is
later sold in the Army's Industrial
Stores. The money realized is used
to maintain the home and pay the
men. Last year after daducting the
expenses of the home and wages of
the men, there was a profit Of $1,000,
which was used in relief work. The
Salvation Army Nursery on Hanover
street, is now temporarily closed for
repairs. 1t is one of the most popular
and serviceable institutions the Army
maintains.
On Madison street is the Young
Woman's Boarding Home, accommo-
dating thirty-seven girls. They are
provided with three wholesome meals,
a comfortable room and the privileges
of the laundry and sewing rooms for
S5 per week.
In addition to those *nentione6j the
Salvation Army maintains nine other
social service activities in Milwaukee
each of which is meeting a recognized
need of the community life.

o!d New ENGLAND courtIna s,lek.


Because the laws relating to wooing
were so strict in old New England. a
peculiar device called the courting
stick came into use. This was sort
OF speaking tube--a stick six feet or so
long, about an inch in diameter, hol-
low, and with an enlargement at each
end for speaking into and hearing
from. A picture illustrating the method
OF Its use represents the father seated
at the fireplace. the mother busy spin
ming. the daughter seated on bench
by the mother knitting, while the young
man caller Is sitting across the room
with cider mug and pitcher beside him.
He is in the act of raising the courting
stick to his mouth, the other end OF
which is lying in the lap of the young
woman. The courting stick insured at
least minimum Of privacy for the
lovers talk.
