FFERS BOON TO
ALL FISHERM MEN
South Sea Explorer Hopes
to Bring Back Some
Real Fish Bait.
HYPNOTISES THE FISH

Here's hint for Kenosha fishermenl
A boatload of fish in twenty minutes,
and no net and no trawling required
And you disciples of Isaac Walton that
bangle your legs over the pier or spend
hours on the banks of the river and
get little more than MOSQUITO bites.
Captain Albert j. Duken, commander
of the William Hale Thompson South
Sea expedition ship, says there IS
bark that grows on certain trees on an
island in the South Seas that has such
remarkable properties that when it IS
cast into water it will Supply or cleo
trify all fish within a certain radius,
and they will immediately come to
the top in a helpless condition so that
they can be scooped up by the bucket
full in few minutes. In minute or
two, after being removed from the
water. they recover their former pep
arid are as good as ever. Their flesh,
too. is in no way rendered unfit for
food as ting bark leaves no after eff
feet.
Captain Duken is to bring his ship
to the Great Lakes naval training sta
tion to take part in the great q. q. H.
Al picnic, to be held there on July q.
He says he will secure some Of this
bark during his trip to the South Seas,
and he will be glad to give any infor-
nation to any Kenosha fishermen con-
corning it, and to ship it to those in
terested so that they can try 1t Tor
themselves. He is to secure moving
pictures Of a strange fish that climbs
trees. These fish are very numerous
on a certain island, and they run up
the trunks of the cocoanut trees with
surprising speed. A small hook on the
end of each finris what does the trick
There are hundreds of vegetables to
be found in the jungles off these IS
lands that make good wholesome and
some of them, very delicious foods,
says Captain Duken. He says that
many of these vegetables can be ac-
climated so that they can be grown IN
America.
There are also plants that contain
very valuable dyes that are at present
unknown to the civilized world.
There is one peculiar tree that II
punctured with sharp Instrument 1t
will squirt juice at you, and woe unto
YOU if this juice strikes your flesh!
1t will burn into the flesh to the bone,
and il you get enough Of it you Will
die. There are certain fbrous plants
that make far better and stronger rope
than Manila hemp. Gold, diamonds
anthony, silver and copper are to be
found on some of these islands, he
says.

Two Children from Lincoln
School Are Placed In
der Quarantine.
VACCINATION Is URGED
G. F. LOOMS, Superintendent
of Schools, and Health
Dept. Cooperating.

Two cases of smallpox were dlseoy-
cred over the weekend by the munl-
cipal health department and placed
under quarantine, it was announced to-
day. One was discovered late Saturday
and the other yesterday.
Both children were seven years old,
and pupils at the Lincoln schol where
they were quartered in one of the
portable buildings.
This discovery today led the health
department. to ask that all of the
children be vaccinated for the disease.
Health officers, it was stated, are
watching, with extreme care, for
any symptoms Of additional cases
among the children.
May Force Exclusion.
NG. F. Loomis, superintendent of
schools, stated this morning, that every
precaution is being taken to guard
the health of the children. Should adj
ditional cases make an appearance as
the result of the exposure of the other
children to the disease, compulsory
vaccination, or the exclusion from
school of children who have not been
vaccinated, will be necessary, he said.
Parents have the right to refuse to
allow. their children to be yaccinated,
it was pointed out, but in such cases
they will not be permitted to attend
school until the epidemic has subsidized.
The health department today issued
warning to all parents to have their
children vaccinated at once, regardless
of whether or not they are attending
the Lincoln school This, it was stat
ed, is the only way in which the dis
ease can be stamped out if it has got
ten start through contagion, which
has not yet developed sufficiently to
bring out the symptoms of the disease.
Offer Free Vaccination.
The health department will be open
ed at 300 p. m. for those who find it
inconverient to be treated by their
family physician. This service is
made by the city without charge to
the patients, II was added.
Mr.. Loomis urged parents who have
children in school, to report the slight
est signs of the disease toAtheir
family physicians at once should these
symptoms first become noticeable wltile
the children are at home. He stated,
however, that asNyet there is no cause
for undue alarm over the situation,
which has not assumed the proportions
of an epidemic. At this time parents
should simply be on the alert in their
cooperation with the school authori-
ties to prevent any spread of the
disease, he said.
