THE GUARDED" CROSSING.

The CHASTITY killing Of q young man at the
Elizabeth street crossing of the Northwestern
road the other day, shows pretty clearly that
a railroad crossing protected by gates and by a
Waterman is not always a safe crossing. The
conditions which surrounded this accident,
should show pretty clearly that the only way
to make these crossing in Kenosha safe, is to
elevate the tracks If the facts are properly re-
ported, there were flock of watchmen about
this crossing, but the gates stayed up and a
young man, unwarned of his danger rode to
his death.
OF course the company can pay for negli-
gence of it's employees, but paying will not
bring back the life of that young man so USE
lessly thrown away. Money does not compen-
safe for the red blood of young man. The
blood stains remain on the hands of the officials
of a road, which permit such conditions to con-
tinue, when the expenditure of some money
could remedy them
A study of railway crossings in Kenosha, will
give any fair minded person the assurance
that tracks near the crossings are used entire
.ly too much for storage. Crossings should be
protected by the elimination of long lines of
cars backed right up to- them. The least that
a railway company canegive, is an unobstructed
view of these crossings. If the man must gam
BILE with death as to whether or not the gate
man will lower the gates, he should have the
fair run for the priceless stake he plays for
He has right to see crossing and he does
not get this right when box cars and passen-
ger cars are placed so as to obstruct the view
of the crossing.
Redoubled efforts should be made to bring
about the elevation of the tracks of the North
western railway company through Kenosha,
and in absence of immediate action to this end,
the railway company should be told in no I'M
certain language that crossings must be kept
open, SO that the people may see their danger.
Kenoshans waited long and patiently for the
Northwestern to carry out it's agreement to
elevate the tracks. Year after year, it paid
in the blood of it's people for the delay of the
company.
Isn't it time to call halt on the killings and
properly protect railway traffic by elevation ?

Your Health
DEFECTIVE HEARING.

By far the largest number of cases
in defective hearing result from the
conditions brought about by inffam-
nation of the mucous membrane OF
the nose and pharynx. Adenoid in
the nasopharynx Is another chief
cause. Especially is this true in the
time of childhood and youth.
Parents are advised not to overlook
that little ailment in their children.
1t may result from acute rhinitis, in
which the ears are often affected and
just as often wholly neglected. Other
contributing causes are influenza,
measles and typhoid fever, and such
constitutional diseases as rheumatism,
govt and syphilis.
Prevention of our only hope. The
real tragedy comes when the local
aural structures have yielded to these
different influences, and have under
gone distinct pathological changes.
Then little or no help can avail. Ear
drops, nasal douches, electric vibra-
tions or even Yellow Mountain rattle
snake oil will not avail.
Here is where a health examina-
ton, twice a year or even once, could
save a child from lifelong trouble.

FRENCH EAT BIG BREAKFAST.

The French people for years have
taken a light breakfast, usually of
rolls and coffee, which is quite a diff
ferent thing from the English or
American breakfast of ham and eggs,
fruit, toast, coffee, cereal, etc. The
old custom is being relinquished, how
ever, in favor of the American habit,
largely as an economic measure. By
having a substantial breakfast at ris-
ing and other meals in accordance
with the English or American work
day, the French are able to adopt the
American or English work day.

Thomas Thompson, father of one of
the men trapped. used the company's
telephone which connected with a
mine chamber below. Strangely

the son stayed to give instructions to
others who had chance at safety and

Tell people you're alive and we'll;

DUT do not overdo it, DO;

They'll think that all you do is blow
And that it's using all your vigor.
A LITTLE footing makes you known,

But toot too much and folks will groan,
Gosh, but that birds loud gazabo!"
qPEAK up and say your little piece,
~ But don't forevermore repeat it.
Be brief and to the point-then cease,
Or you will hear the order-'Beat IT."

Then quit-at least for long enough
To let some other fellow blow it!
