the city.
It is impossible to do much before winter to
provide. homes in Kenosha but the winter sea-
son should see new and strong organization
which will work to just one end and that is to
provide homes for the people at as near low
figure as is possible. It costs money to build
but it means loss of prestige if Kenosha does
not provide better housing conditions
The urgent demand for homes should enlist
from Kenosha people the investment of their
surplus money III houses 1t is certain that no
better investment could be found and that no
surer guarantee of fair return on money
invested could be guaranteed The important
thing is to get action along these lines norder
that Kenosha people will not be forced to &C

go to that city to get a place to live.
We want Kenosha Workmen living in Keno

STOP THAT HEADACHE.

During the past ten years the con-
slant slogan of business has been -
speed up! More pep! Practically all
of the efficiency experts have made it
their business to cut down the number
of employees and to speed up the re-
mainder. Day after day Of this sort
of thing is a dangerous strain on the
nervous system.
But more than this it means hurry
in eating, poor digestion and light
sleep, with the cares and worries of
the day as your bedfellow. The re-
suit is frequent headaches, then more
headaches and disturbed nervous
mental condition. If there is no let
expert visits you often enough nerv-
!, Gus breakdown may come your way.
Find Cause First.
The majority of people try to cure
the headache itself rather than to
remedy the conditions that induce
headache. Try to find cause or
source and apply the remedy where
it belongs. 1t may be merely over
exertion, a slight attack of indiges-
ton, bad ventilation or thinking too
much. In such cases, a good purge
will affect cure. Don't expect a
headache to vanish in a few moments.
Go slow, give your stomach time to
rest by taking light meals for a day or
| two.
| Tight shoes are a frequent cause of
! headaches. Of course the wearer
would not admit the shoes were too
tight and consequently no cause for

DRINKING DAYS.

Drinking among passengers at sea has been
steadily getting less and less, for the last 20
years. T. D. Smith makes this comment He's
chief steward of the White Star liner Adriatic,
and he has been 35 years in the North Atlantic
service.
The decline in drinking is a genuine prohibi-
ton movement, and not because liquor costs
have gone up, Smith believes
He says: Efficiency in business with
telephones wireless, radio, taxicabs, electrical
devices and the general demand for more speed
- has destroyed the old idea of doing business
in the forenoon and devoting the rest OF the
day and night to drinking"
That just about sums up the prohibition
movement, in the last analysis. 1t came as a
matter of efficiency, rather. than of morals.
Smith says that when he first went to sea
the ships were so small and tossed about SO
much in storms that "only hardy individuals"
cared for the North Atlantic trip except in
May, June and July when there were prospects
of fine weather.
He recalls that many of the old time liner
passengers were hardened topers who could
drink all day and most of the night without
ever getting drunk
Their sfayorite breakfast, served at IL in the
morning, was deviled bones with champagne.
The best whisky in those days cost only 80
cents quart, with gin so cents and lower. Beer
was served at cents bottle. Maybe this ex-
plains the origin of the expression, good old
days"
The time ocean passengers bought their
hooch, aboard ship, by the bottle And at din
ner time in the first-class dining saloon 80 years
ago champagne was seen on every table
Liquor flowed freely at all hours of day and
night. Many of us can recall when John Bar
leycorn was the silent partner of business on
shore also, it being customary for a drummer
to take prospective customer out and throw
dozen rounds of drinks into him before Undue
ing him to sign on the dotted line
People have been tapering away from liquor
gradually but steadily in the last 20 years.
Many have the notion that prohibition was
"put> over in twinkling They forget that,
out Of about $500 counties in the United States,
only 15O or-even fewer still were wet when the
prohibition amendment was adopted.
Such drinking as still takes place is viewed
through a magnifying glass. Smith, veteran
seaman, says drinking aboard ship has been
steadily declining for 20 years, but most lands
men seem to have the notion that ocean travel
resembles sTen Nights in Barroom."

LET'S PICK HIM OURSELVES.

It's getting round to the time when Kenosha
is to have new postmaster Postmaster Cor
man, who has made an excellent official will
round out his second term some time early next
year and it is expected that some Republican
will }1e named to take over the duties OF the
office. Of course the Congressman of the dis
trict would have the chance to name one of
his political friends to the office and it is pos
gible that the man named would be accepted
by the President and the post office depart
ment. 1t would seem only fair to allow the
people of Kenosha to have some part in the
picking of such an important official.
The Congressman might be easily satisfied
with the ability of some fellow who has gone
out and helped him rake up votes but the pub
lie veal would not in any way be served by such
an appointment. Possibly such a man named
by the congressman of the district would be
able to ''get by" in the office but the next four
years in Kenosha are going to be big years and
the city wants some one in the federal building
in Kenosha who is a little better than the lust
getting by" class Kenosha wants a new post
off;&e building and it is going to get it.
The next postmaster will have much to do
with the kind of pOstoffice the city secures.
If he is satisfied to "just get by Kerosha will
probably just get by when it comes to the new
building. If he is a real fellow with intelli-
gence to develop the postal business in Keno
sha and willingness to look ahead to future
demands of the city, Kenosha will probably
get "a public building which will be worthy of
its future.
Kenosha has always been good to Congress
man Cooper. Most all of us have year after
year supported him and helped him keep his
job at the national capital and he should be
able to find a willingness to give the greatest
possible consideration to the future Of Kenosha
in naming post master.
He should be willing to give the people of
Kenosha chance to say who they want rather
than insist on making the appointment along
lines of political expedieney. A call for vote
on the question would bring a big response
from the people of Kenosha. It need not be
an election with the voting booths opened at
considerable expense butt the Congressman
could simply ask the people to get in touch
with him and lot of them would be glad to
write
If an election of the old kind is deemed
better the various candidates for the office
might we'll get together and agree to pay the
price of such an election.
The man who is to be named postmaster of
Kenosha is going to play big part in the de-
yelopment of the city and he should have the
qualifications necessary. No man anywhere
near big enough to be postmaster would want
to take the job knowing that the people be-
lieve that his qualifications are insufficient

RACINE GETS DESPERATE.

Racine is getting desperate. With empty
houses there direct appeal is being made to
people of Kenosha to rent houses in Racine
and work in Kenosha. Thousands of these ap-
2Hals were circulated in Kenosha on Sunday
nacyRing and they pictured Racine as the home
CITY Cor workers in Kenosha. Low rents were
CE6eHed to Kenosha people who would move to-
3aaclne and a rosy picture of the life OF the
co9anNter was pictured in the circulars. It is
not stated that any large amount of Kenosha
people have gone to the rescue of the near
bankrupt landlords of Racine
The fact that Racine is seeking to house
workers points out the need of immediate ae-
ton on the part of the people of Kenosha to
save the future of the city by providing for
proper housing conditions. During the past
two years KenOsha has done nothing or next to
nothing to solve its housing problem.
Great factory buildings are being construct
ed now by Simmons Company, The American
Brass Company and the Allen A. Company.
Early resumption of operations is promised
at the old WHITTIER plant and there are added
demands for men to work the machines and at
the benches of other Kenosha factories. It is
difficult to see how these places are to be filled
with oat any place for the people to live. 1t
is almost impossible at the present time to rent
a house in Kenosha and it is certain that the
coming OF addttlohdl people 10 I'LL the places
in these additional factories will not improve
conditions.
Kenosha offers the best possible chance for
men to seek employment but it is far behind
in the invitation that it gives to people to seek
home within its limits. The blush Of shame
should come to people of Kenosha with the sug-
gestion that its workers must find homes in
Racine, Zion or Waukegan.
The best city is the city that pYoperiy cares
for lts workers. The city which offers them
