Slump Shown in All
Contagious Diseases
Health Director, However, Urges Vac
cination for Protection from
Small pox.

While the chart in the health de-
partnent shows a decided slump in all
contagious diseases, the public were
today warned of the danger of small
pox, and urged to take advantage of
the protection to be found in vaccina-
ton. This downward trend of the COM
micab1e diseases has been particularly
marked since the close Of school, it
was stated It is attributed to the fact
that the children are spending most of
their time out of doors in the fresh
air and sunshine.
The director Of health stated that
smallpox is general all over the coun-
try. Reports from Iowa to New York
reveals the fact that the epidemic is
not regional" this year, but is very
general. Vaccination is an absolute
prevention for the disease. 1t was adj
appearing in mild form, it is impos-
sible to say when it will become very
virulent. An epidemic which struck
Baltimore two years ago proved fatal
in over 40 per cent of the cases, it was
stated.
The time is rapidly coming when
there will be no quarantine for small
pox Such law has already passed
in Minnesota, and it is now being agi-
tated in Wisconsin. At present people
living in a home where there is small
pox are allowed to go out providing
they have been vaccinated. The at
titude of the state authorities is that
because Of the fact that there is a
known preventative, it is a persons
own fault if they contract the disease.

COOPER PEONIES
CHEER WOUNDED
III. S. Cooper Continues His
Birthday Custom by Ma
tionwide Gift.
FROM COOPER GARDEN

Using his birthday as the day OF
which he launched the sending OF
remembrance to each of Alb wounded
war veterans, Henry S. Cooper, retired
manufacturer of Kenosha, is now car
rying out unique custom.
1t will take a fortune in flowers
more than 100000 peony blossoms
picked from the Cooper Peony Gardens
at Dummovin, the Cooper estate, one
mile west of Kenosha, on the Cooper
road. The flowers at the market price
now being paid in all large cities
would bring $4,000 In addition, il
will take hundreds of dollars in ex-
press bills and in labor needed to pick
and crate the flowers to be shipped to
government hospitals throughout the
nation.
Meeting all this, Mr.. Cooper is send
ing to every government hospital
enough peonies that bouquet of not
less than ten could be placed at the
bedside of each and every wounded
soldier, sailor or marine there. This
unique present was endorsed and prais-
ed by President Coolidge, who, at the
request of Mr.. Cooper, sent list OF
the government hospitals to the Ke-
nosha man.
Sending Out Shipments.
Mr.. Cooper had planned to have all
the peonies shipped during the pres
ent week, but the backward weather
made this impossible. He has, how
ever, sent shipments to several of the
hospitals and will continue through
out next week until the entire list OF
hospitals has been supplied. Many OF
the flowers have all ready been sent
from Kenosha.
The Cooper peonies have just begun
to bloom and will be in blossom fol
probably two weeks now. 1t is expect

PAY UP OR
GO TO JAIL"
Judge Tells PellegrinO Lib
erty is Contingent to Ali
mony Payment.
CHILD WIFE is FREED
Charles Sprague, $40 Exchange
ST., Deserted by Wife, Is
Also Given Divorce.

Louis Pellegrino, stationary engineer
ut the Allen A plant, was ordered to
paw up his alimony in full by July l
or 20 to Jail, when he was arraigned
in circuit court yesterday before Judge
Il. B. Belden.
His former wife, Anna, had him
hailed into court on contempt pro-
ceeding. Three weeks ago she was
granted a divorce on grounds of cruel
and inhuman treatment. She testified
that shortly after their marriage she
had been taken i'll and sent to the
hospital. Louis, it appeared, became
disguised with her for becoming i'll,
and after one visit, refrained from
calling again, although she was con-
fined for weeks.
Judge r. " Baker, who appeared
again for the wife informed the court
that after one payment of $40 the
first week, Louis had stopped con-
tributing, and was now two weeks be-
hind. Attorney John f. Kuehnl, who
appeared for Louis, stated that his
client had lost his job and had just
gone to work last Monday
Child Bride Divorced.
A decree was given to Mary Skrom-
mix, the child bride. The girl, who
is now eighteen years old, was given
SIS a week for the support of her four
year-old daughter.
According to her testimony she was
married at the age of fourteen, on an
order from the court. She said that
her husband, John, treated her with
consideration for few weeks and
then began to call her names.
She described an Illuminating bit
of old world psychology. 1t seems
that having had her fill of being called
names, she retaliated with threats Of
divorce. Her husband promptly set
about intimidating her with his fist
and in addition threatened to "slice
her up" should she take their domes-
tic relations to court to be UNI
snarled. Lewis w. Powell, appeared
for her as her guardian.
Charles Sprague, AZ years old, OF
S19 Exchange street, was granted a
divorce from his wife, who two years
ago deserted him. Mr.. Sprague could
assign no particular reason for her
disappearance. He said that they had
lived happily for two years here in
Kenosha after their marriage in Port
Huron, Michigan, and that suddenly
without the slightest warming Mrs
5prague disappeared.
A year later, he testified. she had
written to aim, stating that she re-
GREETED having left him in that fashion.
Under questioning by A. B. Ames, di-
vorce counsel, he admitted that he had
never asked her to return. He said
she made no direct request to come
back.
Corroborative testimony was given
by Joseph Jonto, of Grand avenue,
He stated that he knew that Sprague' S
wife had run away, and that the hus-
band had been living in Wisconsin for
more than two years.
