over eddifying to a lot of the people OF Wlscon-
sin WHO believe in the enforcement of law
These people will not agree with the governors
statement that the enforcement program has
been given every possible state aid in Wiscon-
sin. Some may even recall that the governor
appointed the leader of the opposition to en-
forcernent as enforcement officer. Others may
recall the long line of pardons which he has
extended to bootleggers after there has been
decent efforts in Wisconsin counties to stamp
out defiance to law.
AT any rate the governor is dearly in record.
He is against that portion of the constitution
which is known as the eighteenth amendment.
He is entitled to no consideration from the peo-
pie who believe that there should be enforce
ment of that provision of the national law.
The issue has been made little clearer by
his open statement and this fact should be
driven home to the great maj rity of Wisconsin
people who believe in the protection of the
home by the stamping out of the liquor evil.
The governor did not accept the invitation of
the President of the United States to come to
Washington for a heart to heart talk on law
enforcement. Instead he accepted an invitation
to make speech before German club in
Chicago.
Lots of peole of Wisconsin believe that en-
forcement of law is a much more important
thing for Wisconsin than to have the gov
ernor make speech in Chicago. These people
will regret that Wisconsin stood at this GREAT
meeting of executives as state which did not
join heartily in movement to bring to an end
defiance of law and an invitation to anarchy.

Your Health
(BY DR.. CLIFFORD C. RoBINSoN)
BILIOUS ATTACKS

In some parts of our country the
term s'biliousness" or "bilious attack"
has rather a broad and indefinite
meaning More northerly parts of our
country employ the term gastritus in
speaking of this toxic attack in the
intestines. In certain low-lying sec
tions, where malaria is quite preva-
lent, the laymen often confuse the
two terms. Many people still believe
that is is brought about by change
in the weather, especially from sum-
mer to autumn.
In fromer years, when people were
accustomed to use coarse or plain
food, troubles from poor digestion and
constipation were much less common
than at present. Indigestion of some
food material, which causes stagnS-
ton of the intestinal stream, is the
forerunner of bilious attack.
When digestion goes wrong from
over-eating or acute catarrhal. condi-
tions of the mucous membrane of the
intestines, elimination from the body
is delayed, and the toxic poisons are
rapidly absorbed from the intestines.
These toxic poisons find their way first
to the liver and then to the general
circulation.
There is headache, loss of appetite
and nausea. The tongue is coated, the
breath bad, and there is pain in the
stomach and back Vomiting of food
is followed by that of bilious secre-
tions, there is much weakness and the
skin is sallow.
The attack usually passes in few
days, the source of trouble being re-
moved by purgative and weak aka
line fluids to sooth the irritated muc-
Gus membrane of the intestines. Con-
tinue light diet for few days.
To avoid bilious attacks, be careful
Of your food and habits of eating. In
other words, avoid indigestion and
constipation which induce these at
tacks, by knowing your own system,
its condition and requirements.
There is no one diet that will suit all
cases. A proper proportion of fine
and coarse foods, not forgetting the
bulky raw vegetables, will usually pre-
vent the bowels from becoming slug
gish.

LET'S HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING.

Increased earnings of the Northwestern
Railway company should suggest that the time
is near for this company to start the work of
elevation of the tracks through Kenosha.
The city officials should make strong represen-
tations to this company to get this work start
ed Elevation of the tracks is one of the really
big features of the new city plan. Kenosha has
been promised the first expenditure of this
great railway company and Kenosha officials
should see that the company carries out it's
promise. It may be that there are differences
of opinion as to just what treatment should
be given to the problem of the railways
through Koensha and if this is a fact no time
should be lost in agreeing on a definite plan
If the plan is to elevate the tracks the rail-
road commission has already given its sanction
and fixed proportions to be paid by the city
and the company. If the plan is to depress the
tracks, new engineering must be done. It
would appear to us that it would be an excellent
idea to have "a conference between the rail-
way officials and the municipality to find out
just what is to be done and then see to it that
the work is started and completed at the
earliest possible minute.
Grade crossings continue to be a great cost
to KenoshA in life and convenience and Keno
sha should be rid of them

"FANATICysN AND HYPROCRICvo

zTIe recent conference of the governors at
West Baden was interesting to Wisconsin in
that it brought the Governor of Wisconsin
out in the open. Evidently the governor has
decided that it is no longer necessary. to cam
outage and that he is willing to trust his po-
litical future to the voters who think more of
glass of beer or a snit of whskey or moon
shine, than they do of the constitution. The
governor is quoted in messages as declaring
that he was opposed to the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act. This admission
is not news to any resident of Wisconsin, who
has followed the course of the governor; it is
not new to members IL the legislature who as
sisted half-drunken and entirely drunken
state officers and me%%Nsrs Of the legislature
down the capital steps at Madison.
The governors prize reference to the efforts
of other governors to get behind law enforce
ment was, "This fanaticism is base hypocricy".
1t can be added that the governor is in a
position to know both fanaticism and hypocricy
without having it labeled with card. The
position of the governor will probably not be
