City Council Advances New Milk Ordinance
Establishing Strict Regulation of
Dairy Business
TO BUILD VIADUCT AT Balm AVENUE
City to Accept Offer of Northwestern Railroad to
Build Pedestrian Subway at Balm Avenue
Under Railway Tracks.

Astounding facts regarding the pro-
duction, handling and sale of milk in
Kenosha and Kenosha county were re-
vealed to members of the council on
Monday evening with a result that inn
mediate action was taken to advance a
proposed ordinance for the regulation
of the dairy business in the county
and city in every department. The
new ordinance, when it goes into effect,
will make it possible for the health
department to enforce the regulations
so that only clean and sanitary milk
will be sold in Kenosha.
The ordinance was presented by DR..
Gustav Windesheim, director of the
department of public health, and by
DR.. Carlton J. Morgan, an inspector of
the department, who has carried on
rigid investigation into conditions in
the milk industry in Kenosha county
and who presented to the council a
series of charts showing the need for
immediate action here.
Fault of old Ordinance.
DR.. Morgan explained that the deal
ers were not to blame for the Situation
and that practically all of them were
joining in the movement to make it
possible to secure absolutely clean
milk for all Kenosha. He blamed the
situation on the old ordinance which
did not establish methods of regula-
tion which would reach out into the
county and regulate the dairy farms
as we'll as the milk plants within the
city.
"Chicago has long had such sys-
tenn of inspection" declared DR.. Nor
gan. "This resulted in the practice of
selling milk in Kenosha which was re-
fused by Chicago authorities because
it was not produced under conditions
which met the standards set down
there. With Kenosha joining in the
crusade, the milk producer will have

SMALLPOX SCARES
TOWN OF BRISTOL
Epidemic Started in School
room Frightens Village
lin County.
ONE TEACHER IS ILL

A smallpox scare has completely en-
veloped the village Of Bristol in Ke-
nosha county. The development of five
cases of smallpox there in the last
few days has led to the taking of dras-
tic steps by health authorities of the
town and county to prevent spread
of the disease. Health authorities from
Kenosha and from Bristol stated this
morning that the epidemic was now
completely under control and that
there was no cause for alarm.
There has been, however, rush on
the part of the people of the village
to become vaccinated and this has been
fostered by the health department as
step to prevent further spread Of
the epidemic.
The situation was made known on
Monday afternoon when DR.. Gustave
Windesheim, of Kenosha, was called
to Bristol by DR.. F. J. .Auwers, the
health official there, to confirm the
latter's diagnosis of the disease pre-
valent in the town.
Started in Schoolroom.
The cases at Bristol are no doubt an
echo of the smallpox epidemic which
existed in Kenosha last spring. The
scare started several days ago when
children in one Of the school rooms
were taken with an illness which seem
ed to be smallpox. The children We're
hurried home and every precaution
taken. Later the teacher of the room
also developed the illness and the
room was closed.
The disease is in a mild form, SINH
lar to the form which it took in Ke=,
nosha in the spring. There are now
four children quarantined for it and
the teacher Of the schoolroom. Other
pupils in the room and any who might
have been exposed have been vaccinat-
ed and proper quarantine methods
have been taken.
DR.. Windesheim praised DR.. Auwers
for the methods which he had used to
prevent spread OF the epidemic.

NEW YORK.-Speeding across
the Pacific to devastated Tokyo is
man whose life work was swept
away in half an hour by the earth
quake; but whose cheerful OPP
timism is vitalizing newly formed
plans to begin again on newer
and, grander scale. He is DIR. R..
3, Teusler, Director of St. Luke's
international Hospital, the Epis-
copal Church institution in Tokyo
which was first rent asunder by the
earthquake, and then obliterated
by fire and flood.
st. Luke's was famous through
out the Far East, especially for its
work in surgery. Patients went to
st. Luke's from Singapore, Java
and Hong Kong, Picking, Vladivo-
stok and Eastern Manchurian and
Korean cities. 1t was resorted to
by rich and poor, native and for
eign alike. At its head was DR..
Teusler, a native Of Virginia and
a cousin of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
When in 1900, he assumed charge
Of st. Luke's, it was small cot
tage of native construction with
accommodations for twelve patients.
AS a medical missionary DR.. Teus-
Ter applied himself to the task of
building up st. Luke's into an in
stitution which would meet the
growing needs of the Far East.
The first step he took, typifies
the man. He laid down the rule
that he would accept as compen-
sation for his services only the
stipend allotted to missionaries of
his class--it amounts in his case
to about $4,000 per year. In the
intervening period. while his fame
as a surgeon spread through ia
pan, China and Siberia with con-
stantly increasing demands for his
skill, he strictly adhered to this
self-imposed rule with the result
that to date he has turned over for
the uses of the hospital, fees ag-
gregating $150,000 paid TO him for
surgical work outside his hospital
duties.
Meanwhile, building upon the

SELL BONDS AT
BIG PREMIUM
Kenosha County Court
house and Jail Bonds
Sell for $5O7,O75.
NINE BIDS RECEIVED

Bond buyers showed their faith in
Kenosha county on Monday afternoon
when spirited bidding was the rule
for the 100000 bond issue recently
authorized by the county board for
the purpose of securing funds to build
the new court house and jail building
for the county. The bids were opened
in the county court room by County
Clerk Charles Holderness and the
committee in charge, resulting in the
sale of the issue to the r. M. Grant
and company, of Chicago, the high
est bidder for $507,075, and accrued
interest.
There were ten bids received for
the bonds. One of these, that of the
Seipp, Princell and company, of Chi
cago, came in at the eleventh hour,
not being received until 2:25 p. m;
this fact, however, did not feature in
the sale of the bonds as the latter
bid was far below that of many of
the bond companies.
Offers Supplementary Bid.
The closest race was between the
successful bidder and the Second
Ward Securities of Milwaukee, the
latter concern bidding $505,893. The
R. M, Grant and company bond house
had made straight bid as given
above and in addition had submitted
a supplementary bid providing for the
bonds to be delivered, 100000 worth
upon the date of sale and $4,000
Ia month thereafter until the issue
was consumed.
Because Of this fact there was con-
siderable discussion offs the bids be-
fore the offer of the Grant company
was finally accepted. The committee,
after due consideration, was in favor
of accepting the supplementary bid
inasmuch as big saving would be
affected for the county thereby.
Would Make Three Per Cent.
BY accepting the supplementary bid
offer the county would save large
amount on the bonds remaining un-
delivered for whatever length of time
the Bonds should remain in their
hands. AS the interest rate at the
bank is only two per cent and as the
bonds are five per cent and the COM
pany would pay the accrued interest
when the bonds were delivered, the
county would thereby save three per
cent.
It was shown that the schedule of
delivering $4,000 month would pro-
vide ample funds for the continuance
of work on the Jail and court house
as contemplated.
The county officials were highly
pleased with the premium offered for
the bonds. In view of the bids which
have been received in other cities re-
Gently for securities, it is a most
favorable price for the bonds.

MIR. STERN FINDS
HIS RENT RAISED
Stern Building ''SOLd" and
He Knew Nothing
About 1t.
ONE MORE SUCKER
Police Are Not Notified of the
Latest "COn" Game that
Is Practised in Town.

Jacob Stern, 40 Main street, owner
of the Stern building in which that
address is included, was surprised
Monday morning when man, stran-
ger to. him, walked into his place of
business and informed him that the
rent of his premises was to be raised
from now on. The stranger told Stern
that he ought to pay at least $500 a
month and need not flatter himself
that he could pay a lower rent than
that.
"Are you kidding yourself or me-"
asked the store owner, and he ap-
preached near to the man to see if he
had had glass or two too much. The
stranger, however, appeared perfectly
sober. He told Stern that he had
bought the place, making his first
payment last Saturday night.
"How much did you pay?" asked
Jacob Stern.
"Five thousand dollars, and have
the balance in cash here with me-"
"Ha-ha-ha! That's a good onel" re-
turned the store man and the fellow
who had entered the store stared at
him, perplexed.
The ''new proprietor" who had been
looking about outside, came back and
said that he. wanted to get the name
of stern building" off the wall out
side and put up his own name.
What is your name?" Stern asked,
but the new owner hesitated y sand
do you mean to tell me that you really
bought this place? If you did, all l
can say is there's sucker born every
minute"
The victim then told him that
stranger, big stout man in light
gray suit who wore grey spats, had
sold" him the Stern building last Sat-
urday night at 10 y. m. The other
man, the man in spats, had taken him
over the building, shown him through
the hall upstairs, turned on the lights
and confided to him that $4,000 for
the place was easy money but he need
ed the cash. The prospective buyer
was eager to get into the offices but
he of the gray spats said that every
man had his own key for private Of
fices. 1t was arranged that the buyer
would deposit $3.50 down at once, ant
produce the balance of the $4,000 Mon
day morning when they were to meet
in front of the Stern building.
Waits Around in Vain.
The victim learned through Jaco~
Stern that he really had swallowed
hook, that Stern owned the building
and had no intention of selling, and
that if he ever did want to sell, there
were some enterprising friends of his
in the real estate business located up
stairs who would smile at the idea of
a $4,000 offer.
The new conner, blonde haired, fair
complexioned man, who gave the APP
pearance of one who is in business
for himself in a small way, turned
more colors than one, as he listened
to Stern and realized that the was out
$3.50, the loser of fair purchase and
heir to the estate Of Mr.. Fish.
He refused to give his name or let
Stern look at the receipt which he had
held with some confidence in his hand.
He went away with his head down, and
made no report at the police office, it
was later ascertained.

mea gre foundations Of the original
institution which was located in
the Tsukiji section of Tokyo over
looking the bay, St. Luke's had
grown into a commodious structure
with Accommodations for $50 pa
tients equipped with all the facil-
tiles of an up-to-date Occidental
hospital. 1t was officially design
ated by the japanese Department
Of Communications to care for, an
army of employees at its central
bureau in Tokyo, and Baron Shi-
busawa and other leading Japan
csc citizens were members of its
advisory board.
Not content with this, DR.. Teus-
Ter planned, and was on the eve of
realizing a new st. Luke's, to &C.

ward of Tokyo, with Accommodations
for 500 beds, dispensary for 500
charity patients, school for ia
panese physicians and nurses, a
laboratory for the study of Orien-
tai diseases, and other modern
facilities. With the cooperation of
Viscount Goto, now Minister of
Home Affairs, and the Public
Health officials of Japan, ST.
Luke's was to become public
health centre, in which so post
graduate japanese physicians were
to engage in public health work,
with prenatal clinic and chill
dren's welfare stations in a dozen
sections of the city.
To the fund which was raised by
the Episcopal Missions Depart
ment for this new structure, the
japanese Emperor contributed
$25, 900 from his personal funds,
and $4,000 more was raised by
citizens of Tokyo. The Japanese
Government suspended its tariff
laws to permit the free importa-
ton into Japan Of all material ne
cessary for the construction of the
hospital. Ground was broken for
the building a year ago. Then

rising walls of the new edifice as

Bury Lake Victim
in New Cemetery

Services for the unidentified man,
whose body was found floating in Lake
Michigan at the foot of the Simmons
pier late Sunday, were held today.
The victim was the first to be lowered
into numbered grave in the newly
plotted potter's field, located in % sec
ton of the County Poor Farm on the
Milwaukee road. When attempts to
identify the body failed county au-
thorities met and decided upon imme-
date burial. The section Of Green
Ridge cemetery which had been used
for the interment of the unknown
dead, had been filed, and it was neces-
sary to set aside another plot.

well as old st. Luke's were OBJ
liberated. DR.. Teusler's dream was
shattered. In the wreck and ruin
his entire personal belongings were
carried away-his valuable library,
operating equipment, household
goods, everything except the cloth
ing which he carried with him on
a hurried trip to the States, just
previous to the disaster. He is re-
turning to Tokyo without even the
certainty of a roof to cover him or
a bed on which to lie.
Teusler, however, is not the sort
of man who gives way to despair.
Five minutes after receipt of news
of the destruction of mis- life work,
he was busy on plans for a new
hospital! "a man of tireless energy
and infinite resource, he quickly
mustered what funds were avail
able, consulted with Episcopal
Church officials on details for
raising an emergency fund of
$500,000 for the Japanese Church,
gathered together a train load Of
supplies with which to throw up
a temporary hospital in Tokyo, and
cleared from Seattle, September
%, on the President Jefferson, TO
begin all over.
Recently Thomas E. Lamont, Of
the Morgan Banking firm. spent
a day with Teusler in Tokyo. Upon
his return he spoke in nigh praise
of the plans of the self-effacing
physician for the greater st,
Luke's. To Teusler, himself, he
paid this high tribute:
"He combines the executive abil-,
ity Of captain of industry, the
apostolic zeal of a John the Bap-
fist, and the skill and tenderness Of
q great physician"
