in ultraviolet rays, were termed the 'treated chicks"
 This ultraviolet light has proved not only powerful stimulant to the growth and development Of chicks. but these experiments have shown that they could not grow and de- velop normally without It's influence, whether obtained from the outdoor sunlight or from the mercury arc lamp" Dr. Bowie said. In explaining the results of the tests,
 "The results of these experiments are of very great economic value be- cause 1t Is the common experience of chicken growers that the death rate of chicks at the age of four or five weeks is very high. These ex- periments show that the death rate can be reduced by supplying the chicks with ultraviolet light. The chickens receiving this ultraviolet light are not only larger than those which did not receive it but they are livelier and more vigorous in every way. The secondary sex characters did not develop in the chickens which were deprived of the ultra violet light. These characters were very fully, if not excessively, de- veloped in the chickens which did receive the ultraviolet radiation.
 Another interesting phase of the experiments is that all of the chicks receiving the ultraviolet light lived with the exception of a few the rats killed. About 75 per cent of the chickens in the pens deprived Of ul- tra-violet light died from a disease known to chicken-growers as weak legs" but which we term rickets.
 "The importance of these experi- ments would be very great If they were only applicable to the raising of chickens. They are quite as ap- plicable to the production of eggs and, more important still, they are applicable to the raising of our own children; for the disease known as rlckets Is disease of calcium metab- olism and, can be cured by a proper exposure to the ultraviolet light.
 Disease Records
 "The disease records of every city show that from 97 to 100 per cent of all the babies raised in the north ern countries where 1t is necessary to keep the children indoors and to
 use window glass to shut out the cold have rickets when examined in the spring. Undoubtedly many other physiological processes are involved. We may expect to find the same fac tors influencing the growth rate of children as have been found in these experiments with chickens"
 The artificial sunlight lamp used at the University of Maine is some- what similar to the bluish mercury
 lamp used by photographers exceps that Instead of beng a glass tube
 which is opaque to the ultraviolet I rays, it'is made of clear fused quartz produced in the Thomson research laboratory of the General Electric company at West Lynn, Mass.

BRACKs' GYMNASTs AT CAPITOL

One of the greatest gymnastic acts ever to show in this city is now playing the Capitol this first half of the week as the feature attraction on the Keith vaudeville program. There are five in the company of the Bracks and each is a finished tumbler and athlete. They offer series of risley and trampoline stunts that almost seem impossible to accomplish with ease and grace, in fact there appears no effort on their part at all. The risley stunts are particularly good and in fact greater than the best of the Japan ese acts who mostly feature risey work.

LITTLE BOY SHOT
New York Cop Accidentally Wounds Two Year old Boy Ae He Fires At Fleeing Gamblers. e

New York, Oct. '14.-.A policeman firing at two fleeing gamblers, wounded, probably fatally a two year old boy playing on a sand pile beside his home In Brooklyn yes- terday. The patrolman, Charles Schifferdecker, was exonerated by the district attorneys office which termed the tragedy "a most unfor- tunate accident"
 Schifferdecker, according to As- slstant District Attorney Walter R. Hart of Brooklyn, said that while patrolling his beat in an auto, he came upon group of men who scattered and ran at his approach. Hearing cries of there they go! Get 'em!" he explained, he believed serious crime had been committed and chased two of the fleeing men down an alley. AS they disappeared over fence, he fired a shot at the ground, he told the prosecutor, and did not know that the boy, Luigi Musacchio, IT,. had been wounded until the child's father informed him of that fact.
 The boy was taken to hospital with the bullet lodged in his head and physicians said there is no hope of his recovery.

ARTIFICIAL SUN
 IS DEMONSTRATED
Scientists Witness Healthiul
 Effects Of New Light

Orono, Me, Oct. 1.-The health giving effect O; articial sunlight, powerful in ultraviolet rays rather than in light or heat intensity, ob- tained by use of fused quartz mer- cury vapor arc lamp, was demon- strated today at the University of Maine by President c. c. Little of the university and Dr. w. T. Bowie, professor of biophysics at the Har- yard medical school, who have been conducting a series of experiments with chicks. The findings of these scientists, 1t was claimed, revealed important medical properties of such light. not only in raising of chicks, but in the prevention Of diseases Of children, especially for rckets.
 Results in Chicks
 Experiments conducted on brood of pedigreed chicks indicated, &C., cording to Drs. Little and Bowie, that not only can larger and stronger chicks be raised under the artificial sunlight but that chicks which were raised under natural 'sunlight filter ed through ordinary window glass developed weak legs or rickets, weighed but one-fifth as much as the others, and died unless 8 change in living conitions was made. Ordi- nary window glass, 1t was explained, is opaque to ultraviolet and it was the actinic or health giving rays which resulted in the marked under development of the chicks. The same principle, Dr. Bowie said, would ap- ply to children.
 Babies, particularly those of poor families brought up in dark alleys and crowded tenement houses. and rich children brought up in homes where windows aresclosed and all sunlight is filtered through glass, de- velop ricketsS' he said. This is one 1 of the chief causes of bow legs, which most mothers believe are caused by allowing the child to stand on its feet or walk too early in life.
 Autopsies on Babies
 "Autopsies on babies in Dresden showed that of those which were born In the fall and died in the spring and who died in the fall only a very small percentage had rickets. The babies born in the spring were outdoors in the sunlight during the summer and therefore were now de- pr!ved of the ultraviolet rays of the sum-"
 In the experiments at the univer- sity of Maine 233 chicks of three common varieties, two heavier breeds and one lighter, were used. One group, containing 125 chicks, re. ceived no artificial light and were termed "control chicks" The other hos, which were periodically bathed

SIGNING THE PETITIONS.

People in Kenosha county should be notified
that the signing of petition for a candidate
fof political Office means something. On the
face of it the petition declares that the person
who signs the petition is going to support the
candidate at the primaries and at the election
and if you do not mean to carry out the spirit
and the letter of the law the thing to do is to
decline to sign.
A candidate for office is entitled to have his
proposition fairly considered You are not UNI
der any obligations to sign his petition, but if
you elect to side with him he is entitled to ex-
pect honest treatment from you He is going
to spend his time and money seeking a public
office and it is the decent thing to give him
fair treatment.
Signing a petition is pledging support and
before you put your name on it you should in
all fairness to youself be advised as to just
what the candidate is going to stand for and
how strongly he is going to stick to his prin-
cples. When the candidate comes about your
place and sticks the petition out for your
signature just take a little time to question
him.
Find out for yourself if he has the moral
stamina necessary to handle your affairs and
if he stands right on the important problems
of government in which you as citizen are
interested.
Every candidate should be asked to make a
statement of his platform before he asks any
one to sign petition for his nomination If he
is worthy of your support he is willing to make
such statement and make it with a show of
fairness which will impress you. If he wants
to hide behind glittering generalities or base

his candidacy on how long he has been living
in the community its good thing to decline
to sign up.
Z Justsbecause man happens to want to hold
public office is no reason to support him for
an office What Kenosha county wants is en-
ployeas who will have some idea Of what they
owe to the county and men who have ability
to carry out these ideas. Such men will not
hesitate to make a statement showing just
where they stand.
Political promises are not like pie crusts-
made5tosbe broken-but they should be solemn
pledges made to the people with the idea that
they will be carried out after the oath of office
has been signed.
Theman who signs petition for candidate
just to get rid of him or just to do favor for
a friend is man who hasn't great deal OF
personal interest in the government of his own
county or state. The man who is really inter-
ested in these things, is the fellow who insists
that he be convinced that candidate is
good man for office and after>he signs the petit
ton goes out and does his best to elect the
man.

Fables On Health
FOOD VALUE OF FISH.

Friday! Fish day!
How many families have. learned to
observe it for other than religious
purposess
And not necessarily on Friday. The
Mann family frequently served fish on
Tuesdays or Saturdays.
What is the food value of fish?
The skin which is all too
frequently discarded-is rich in iton
and calcium, and should be eaten.
Fish is good substitute for meat,
though not so stimulating. In the
cases of many people it is well that
Is is not so stimulating. 1t is high
in protein content, though meat con-
tains more iron.
AS a general thing it is easily d.
gested, though bluefsh, S a m n,
.mackerel and the oily fish varieties
are more difficult to digest.
Served with a green vegetable, some
starch dish, such as rice or macaroni,
an ideal combination can be had, for
here will be combined the vegetable
irons and minerals, the protein of the
fish and the necessary starches.

MEAT.

Vegetarians have a novel new ar
gument in this: The crops of seven
tenths of the titled land of American
farmers are fed to animals. Meat
eating is an expensive habit. The
argument on the other side is that
meat is concentrated vegetables.
Every one, however, should eat less
meat in summer. It's a cold weather
food. In warm weather nature intends
US to eat vegetables, particularly
leafy ones. That's why she grows them
in summer instead of winter.

Warm weather stimulates army en-
listments, recruiting officers say. It's
an outcropping of the spirit of wan
derlust which comes in spring ano
summer, when the call of the outdoors
is loudest.
In winter, it's fine to be sheltered
indoors from the cold. Our ancestors
battled thousands of years before
winter lost it's terrors. But when the
suns drowsy-bright and the whisper
ing breeze brings the sweet scent Of
growing things, it's then we realize
that civilization has its price, a terrific
one.
Civilization is penitentiary.

RUBBER.

In the Philippine Islands, under the

tracts" suitable for rubber planta-

The plantations will be planted, and
they should be encouraged in every

of. rubber produced in the whole world,
sc pounds are used by Americans.
We are flirting with fate when we
leave rubber growing to other ma
tions almost entirely. If our sup
ply of rubber were shut off by mill
tary or trade wars, autos wouldn't
be the only things that'd have to be
