suit.
This small condenser will allow the
high frequency currents to pass free
ly, while the, low frequency Qifting)
currents will find it impossible to
force their way through. Thus the
wires serve two purposes.
But speaking generally, an outdoor
antenna will be found to be far SUI
perior to this wired wireless.
In many places the electric light
wire will be found useless as an an
tenna. When the building is of steel.
or the steel conduit through which it
runs be itself grounded, the wire will
not act as an aerial.
The real application of the "wired
wireless" principle would consist in
broadcasting programs over the light
ing wires directly and not through the
ether. A comparatively low power
transmitter would serve admirably for
this purpose.

There must be added to this list several hun
dred names of families who are securing aid
through other sources of "out door" relief
The city and the towns are contributing a
large fund annually for such relief It seems
almost impossible that sum Of possibly seven
ty-five thousand dollars should be needed to
relieve those in actual need in city where the
pay rolls average at the present time more
than million dollars month.
The administration Of so large fund should
demand expert supervision and that supervi-
sion should not be made side line for any city
or county official The study Of the places
where this money goes is a most important
function in the official life of Kenosha county
1t is possible that instead of building these
people into self supporting citizens the county
is making confirmed paupers Certainly the
light Of publicity should be thrown upon this
work in an intelligent manner and people should
be urged to be self supporting rather than aided
in being paupers.
Judge Slater has wisely decided that there
should be an investigation in the home of every
woman who is receiving this aid from the coun-
ty. The county should get its moneys worth
whether it is in the building of a court house or
In the effort to save women and children from
poverty. Saving people from poverty does not
consist simply in giving them means to buy
bread and meat and pay rent There is higher
duty to these people and that is the duty to
teach them the way to self support and with it
self respect. There will always be people who
must be supported from the public purse but
It seems amazing that there should be hun
dred and thirty of such families in Kenosha.

Daily Health Hint
SUPERSTITIONs.
By DIR. R. H. BISHOP.

The ancients had many deeply rot
ted superstitions concerning illness.
Most of them have peen proved to be
we'll grounded on scientific facts.
Away back in the beginning Of til
history of medicine, it was known that
a single attack of an infectious dis
ease rendered the survivor, probably,
and in most cases absolutely, immune
to further attacks.
Today scientists use antivenins, sub
stances extracted from snakes, for the
same purpose that Galen, Nero's doc
tor, gave viper blood and viper flesh
to his patients.
History states that the great Per-
sian king, Michridates, always fearing
poisoning, tried all the possible anti
dotes known to his time, experiment.
ing in sizes of, doses on condemned
prisoners.
Medieval doctors advised those bit
ten by mad dogs to eat the liver and
drink the blood of the guilty dogs
"a hair of the dog that bit you.' The
modern Pasteur treatment for hydro
phobia is a more refined use of this
same idea.
About the time of the American
Revolution, Jenner discovered that
dairy folk infected by udder sores of
cows (cowpox) became immune to
smallpox, Thus was vaccine discover
ed, and countless millions of lives
made safer.
Pasteur developed Jenner's discov-
cry into scientific working principle.
The horse is actively immunized
against diphtheria when the poison of
that disease is injected into it. Then
we take the serum from his blood and
use it to confer passive immunity on
human beings.
Besides the diseases named, we have
antitoxins against lockjaw, meningitis,
typhoid fever, typhus fever, cholera
and others.

WIRED WIRELESS" CONCESSION

about the connection to the source of
electric power, is that these wires are
already carrying current. 1t is this
same fact that brought disaster either
to the fuses in the circuit, or to the
radio receiving apparatus, itself.
In most electric supply systems, one
side of the line is grounded. This
| step is taken as a protection to the
! ystem should anything go out of or
der. Inasmuch as the radio receiving
equipment Is also grounded when con
nection is made through the lamp
socket to the supply line, there is a
chance that the connection will be
made to the ungrounded wire.
If this is done, current will flow in
unlimited quantities. Any Spses in
the circuit will blow out-or, if the
windings Of the radio receiver are of
small gauge copper wire, they will
burn up.
| The currents produced in a radio
receiver alternate at an Incompetent
sible rate from positive to negative
in character. The rate of these alter
nations are usually up in the hundreds
of thousands. The currents pro-
duced in an electric supply line by
the generators in the power house, are
also alternating currents, but their
rate of alienation from positive to
negative is comparatively slow, usu-
ally being about sixty times second.

LETS LOOK INTO THIS?

The search of Judge John c. Slater for a
probation officer has revealed the fact that
Kenosha county is supporting one hundred and
thirty families under the so-called Mothers
Pension" provisions and that the county is pay
ing out thirty thousand dollars year for the
support of these people.
We are strong for the mothers pension. We
believe absolutely that women and children
who have no means of support should be aided
by the state. We believe that the mother who
shows willingness to keep little family to-
gether should be encouraged and encouraged
by money contributions.
We do'hot believe that the fact that county
has funds should be used As an instrument for
the manufacture of paupers and mendicants.
Ii may be possible that every dollar of this
thirty thousand dollars is being expended wisely
for the proper relief of women and children in
restitution but we believe that close investi-
CATION should be made into this matter With
the conditions which exist in Kenosha today it
is difficult to believe that hundred and thirty
families are properly the wards of the county.

1t is necessary for parents to be ex-
ceedingly careful of children born on
this date and under the sign of gov
erning it. These children will become
i'll from no apparent cause. They
should be carefully guarded against
looking for evil, as this soon grows
into vague imaginings of evil and err

dom eradicated in later years, pro-
ducing the most unhappy results in an
old age full Of suspicion and distfust.
The governing sign of this date is

it dual personality which makes them
have very contradictory natures. The
governing planet is Mercury, the
