Society and Club Life
CAPTAIN ANDRE
GUEST OE HONOR
Old Kent sha Whist Club has
Member who was in France
as Honor Guest at Dinner
Monday Evening.
FRENCH FAVOR GERMANS
Captain Andre Gives Club Members In
teresting Talk On Conditions in France
as He Found Them—Reached France
As Armistice Was Proclaimed.
Members of the Kenosha Whist Club
honored their one man in the service
of the nation, who had been to France
on Monday evening when sixteen mem
bers of the club gathered at a dinner at
the Elk’s Club with Captain Frank
E. Andre as the guest of honor. Cap
tain Andre is home on a short furlough
and lie will leave later in the week
for Camp Dix to continue his service
with the army.
Dinner was served at half past six
o’clock and after dinner was over Cap
tain Andre in a happy manner gave the
members of his “old club” some of his
experiences in the service.
“I was struck by the really inter
esting developments after the Armis
tice” said Captain Andre. “I came
to learn that France and Germany were
not nearly as bitter in their enmity as
are Germany and England. You can
see the new conditions in all the rela
tions between the French and the Ger
mans, the treatment of the German
prisoners in France and the stories that
are told about how the French and
the Germans really hob-nobbed in the
“quiet zones.” The Germans did not
have the hatred for the French that
they had for the English. French sol
diers have told me of how “No-man’s
Land” on the Prance-German front be
came a place for good fellowship, for
the exchange of cigars and chocolate
and how French soldiers were permit
ted by the Germans to pass the Ger
man lines and go back to their homes
in conquered French territory to visit
their families with the assurance that
they would have safe conduct back to
their own lines.”
Captain Andre declared that the in
vestigation he had made indicated that
the warm feeling did not exist between
the Germans and the English. He de
clared that things he had seen led him
to believe that the French were now as
suspicious of the English and that there
had been a strange reversal of the feel
ing of the French people toward the
Americans. He declared that the Amer
icans in France w r ero not seeking any
more of the glamour of war and that
every American he had talked to was
anxious to get out of France and get
back to America. He asserted that in
his opinion that the French people were
just as anxious to get the Americans
and others out of France and that many
of them now considered the presence
of the Americans and others as a sort
of an unwarrented intrusion.
Captain Andre did not see any of the
actual warfare. Ho arrived in France
the day the armistice was signed and
a few hours after he and his compan
ions had been installed in an English
rest camp the bells began to ring and
the whistles to blow to tell of the joy
of France over the ending of the war.
He told of the wonderful celebration
that France staged when the armistice
had been rigned, of days and nights of
celebrating, with the liquors on tap for
c v cry one t and every one taking advant
age of them.
Captain Andro told of the wonderful
convalescent hospitals of the United
States army where he gave his service
while in France. Of great gardens of
blooming roses in December and Janu
ary in the heart of the Riviera. It was
in this wonderful district that the Unit
ed States set up seven great hospitals
in which wounded American soldiers
were nursed back to health.
After the address by Captain Andre
the members of the club slipped away
to one of the rooms on the second floor
of the club and a twenty-eight board
game of club whist wik> served.
The guest of the evening made good
on his return to the whist game and
paired with H. S. Brown; he won the
high honors of the evening and divided
them with M. M. Smith and Fred Rein
old who played the East and West
hands. The score of the whist match

“The Goldarned Flu”
Kenosha Soldier Pays His Respects to
the “Flu” in Pertinent Poem
Sent Home Today.
John McNamara has never had the
“flu” but he has watched his comrades
go off to the Base Hospital over there
in France and he has heard the soldier
“yarns” of how it feels when the
fever comes. He found a poem, writ
ten by one of the boys who has been
through it all, and it is so descriptive
of the disease that he has sent it to
his home in Kenosha.
Here it is it nearly gives you the
creeps as you read it —:
“When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And year shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you are doggone sure that you
are going to die,
And you are skeered you won’t and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you
through,
For you’ve got the ‘Flu’ boy, you
have got the ‘Flu.’
When your toes curl up and your
belt goes flat,
And you are twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like a hard
boiled hearse;
When your lattice aches and your
head’s abuzz,
Here are my sad regrets to you,
You’ve got. the ‘Flu’, boy, you’ve
got the ‘Flu.’
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, for I’ve been
through.
It is my “misery out of Despair;”
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
It thins your blood and breaks your
bones,
And fills your craw with moans and
groans,
And sometimes, maybe, you get
well.
Some call it ‘Flu’ —I call it ‘H—l.’ ”
Live Wires Winners
Goorge Yonts and His Adding Machines
Show More Speed Than Hampden
Catterton’s Self-Starters.
Out at the Frank Junior High
school they have been having some
real speed-tests.
The “live wires” led by George
Yonts have been “ciphering” with the
“Self-Starters” under the explosive
Hampden Catterton. The result has
been a de luxe and electrifying game
of wits that has done much to enliven
life at the Frank school.
The “Self Starters” are good, but
the “Live Wires” are better. This
has been proved in a long series of
matches.
Accordingly the “Self Starters” paid
the penalty of the vanquished on Mon
day afternoon when they became the
hosts for the “Live Wires” in a party
given under the direction of their
teacher, Miss Effie Kinney.
The “Self Starters” started enough
games and things to make the after
noon a lively one for their guests and
victors, the “Live Wires.”
Today was the birthday of Mrs. Mil
ton Dowse of Howland Avenue, who
for several weeks has been sick at her
home, and in honor of the occasion
the ladies of the Methodist Church and
members of the Order of Eastern Star
surprised her with a postal card show
er. She also received many gifts of
flowers as remembrances of the day.
There will be a meeting of the
First District Association of Graduate
Nurses at three o’clock Wednesday af
ternoon at the Nurses Residence on Ex
change street. Important business is
to be transacted and every graduate
nurse of Kenosha is invited to at
tend.
The Carnation Club of the Degree of
Honor will meet Tuesday evening at the
home of Mrs. Unzen, 710 Grand avenue.
VETERANS SHOW
UP YOUNGSTERS
Grand Army Men Acting As
Hosts Surpass Their Youth
ful Guests in Art
and Cleverness.
AN ALL-PATRIOTS BILL
Commander Boyington Shows the Way—
A
Many Follow Suit—Mrs. Lane Sug
gests a First-Floor Rest Room
for Veterans.
If any “young feller” in Kenosha
thinks he’s a budding Daniel Web
ster let him look up Comrade Theodore
Boyington in the Public Service Build
ing and learn the fine points of the
speaking game from him. Or if he
knows he can tell a story cleverly let
him talk to Comrade Fred Stemm for
fifteen minutes and be persuaded that
he’s a piker who doesn’t know even
the first principles of turning a joke
wittily and well. And if, after that,
he consoles himself with the thought
that he “can play the piano anyway”,
let him listen to Raymond Flasch
through one selection and spend the
rest of the day begging him to reveal
the secret of left-hand variations.
And then, when he’s persuaded that
someone ought to “hire a hall” where
these artistes can gather to amuse them
selves and their friends, let him con
sult Mrs. Frank Lane at the RobinsJn
Book-Store an I have her explain her
plan for a rest-room arranged on “a
first floor” for the peerless men of
’6l, who are tired someway of
“climbing stairs” and “swapping
stories on the corner”.
This is neither an editorial nor a
directory of Kenosha’s war-time cele
brities. It’s a news story. Comrades
Stemm and Boyington, Raymond Flasch,
and Mrs. Frank Lane were only a few
of the “whizz-bangers” appearing at
the G. A. R. party given in Castle Hall
on Monday evening. The others in
cluded Mrs. Frank Truax, Dr. Helen
Harbert, Miss Dorothy Larsen, Miss
Helen Smith of Racine, Mrs. Ohmsted,
president of the Woman’s Relief Corps,
Professor O. L. Trenary, the Rev. I. W.
Corey, and J. B. Roders. If there were
any more they were lost in the shuffle
preceding the luncheon of “army
means”, sandwiches, salad, and coffee
by the bowl, if one wanted it that
way.
“Friends”, said Commander Boying
ton in his modest “Word of Welcome”,
“the Fred 8. Lovell Post greets you
most cordially. The Comrades are your
hosts tonight. With all the enthusiasm
of youth they bid you enjoy yourself with
reminiscences of the days that were
when the grand wild 'music of war sent
men to do or to die for the Eternal
Right.
“We are young tonight”, he went
on, ‘ ‘ but other nights, when you are not
here, when we meet alone in the seclus
ion of the Army Hall, we admit to
each other in whispers, that we have
gone over the top, that we are sliding,
sliding down at the raje of thirty
thousand a year, and that out of the
two million seven hundred comrades
who marched away to save the Union
only two hundred and eighty three
thousand nine hundred and eighty four
still remain to see another triumph
of the same Cause. And yet, few as
we are, we are glad that we lived to
see our sons and successors plant the
old flag on foreign soil in the greatest
war the world has ever known.”
Not so bad for so young a man
yes? And that wasn’t all. Thereafter
Commander Boyington introduced the
various artistes on the All-Patriots Bill
with a cleverness and wit that suggest
ed anyway “Bob” Ingersoll or maybe
“the plumed knight”, James G. Blaine.
This is an omnibus paragraph. It
has to be to leave any space in the pa
per for news about the German Assem
bly and the League of Nations. Pro
fessor Trenary gave a brilliant address
in eulogy of Washington, Lincoln,
Roosevelt, and Wilson. Miss Helen
Smith of Racine showed rare elocu
tionary power in her readings “On Wo
man’s Rights” and “The Mourning
Veil.” Miss Dorothy Larsen took
“the kid to the colors” with unusual
artistry and power. Mrs. Frank Truax
—her voice is neither soprano nor con
tralto; it’s marvellous made herself
the ultra-artist of the evening with
her spirited renditions of “Our God,
Our Country, and Our Flag” and “The
Americans Come”. The Rev. I. W.
Corey and Dr. Helen Harbert made
the kind of talks they always make
sincere, forceful, and electrifying. J.
B. Roders gave a charming interpreta
tion of “The Songs My Mother Used
to §ing” and Mrs. Ohmsted acquitted
herself cleverly in behalf of the Wo
man ’s Relief Corps. In conclusion
Comrade Stemm brought the tribute of
the men of ’6l to the men of ’l7 and
Earl Marlatt, lately of the new army,
responded with a message in olive
drab for the boys in navy blue.
At the conclusion of the program
“mess” was served with Parson
Uorey acting as master of ceremonies.
The menu was somewhat better than
army ‘ ‘ chow ’ ’ but the spirit was essen
tially that of “comrades” or “bud
dies” gathered for an evening of
pleasure and reminiscence. Possibly
that is the reason it was considerably
later than “taps” when the last of
the veterans picked his way wearily
down the steps of Castle Hall and
started for his home ‘ ‘ somewhere in
Kenosha ’ ’.
Succeeds a Congressman
Lt. G. A. Will be Associ
ated With Judge C. E. Randall,
Representative-Elect.
When Judge Clifford E. Randall goes
up to Congres in the near future he
will leave his law office and the care
of his practice to G. A. Mittelstead,
now just an attorney, but lately a
lieutenant of infantry, U. S. A.
Mr. Mittlestead, a partner of Lewis
W. Powell until the unusual opportunity
of association with Judge Randall pre
sented itself, is already installed in his
new quarters at 221 Main street and is
now familiarizing himself with, the du
ties that will devolve upon him when
the congressman-elect leaves Kenosha
for official life at the national capital.
Mr. Mittelstead is a graduate of the
Marquette College of Law where he
distinguished himself as an orator and
pleader. In the early days of the war
he was one of the most popular of Ke
nosha’s Four-Minute-Men.
In the service Mr. Mittelstead’s legal
talents w r on him early recognition.
Shortly after his enlistment he was
chosen for officers’ training and won a
commission in the infantry. At Camp
Gordon he was frequently appointed
counsel for soldiers tried by court
martial and on several occasions secured
acquittal for his clients in olive-drab.
Although discharged from the nation
al service, Mr. Mittlestead has been
assured a commission with the reserves
in case he desires to continue his con
nection with the armies of America and
her allies.

A Soldier’s Plea
Corporal John A. Mahoney Writes
Plea from Somewhere in Germany.
When the call was sounded for men
to defend “Old Glory” Company M.
was one of the ‘ first units to be or
ganized in Wisconsin. Its soldiers
have been in the thick of the fighting
in France for the last six months of
the war and today they are still held
as members of the Army of Occupa
tion.
Kenosha members of the Company
are not selfish they do not want to
' do it all, according to John Mahoney,
who has written here protesting againfet
the fact that the same soldiers are be
ing kept in France as members of the
Army of Occupation as were in the
hardest hit units in the last days of
.hard fighting. These Kenosha boys
want to come home now that the real
fighting is over and this sentiment is
well expressed in the letter from the
Kenosha corporal which follows:
“Every day that passes brings us
nearer home we hope, although it is
only a hope, a thing in the distance,
to us the fighting men of the United
States Army in the army of Occupa
tion who today are w’atching on the
Rhine. The war was hard on these
men but this waiting is by far the
worse.
When the war was on, why we never
thought of going home we knew we
had a job to finish and we stuck.
One would have thought we would
have worried about getting knocked off
or getting hurt, but no we never
thought of any thing like that. We
were contented and put up with any
thing and never made a murmur.
When we hiked long distances from
one front to another we were always
under fire of artillery, air bombs, ma
chine guns, rifle, gas, and many other
devilish things that the Boch invented
to win the war.
And then came the march to the
Rhine. They say it was an honor.
But “Oh ”. “Oh’ ’, the sore feet. Poor
boys marching without stockings and
the soles off their shoes, worn out
marching. At that you never heard a
complaint because we thought we were
to be sent home when we finished the
march. No such good luck for the
fighting division who has been through
hell and worse.
There are soldiers over here that
have never even heard a gun fired —
have been in the S. O. S. (The service
of the rear) all the while. We know
we had to have some men back there
to help send us food, but not all of
them. Now they are being sent home
ahead of us. The Fighting Men.
Why not let them take our place and
send us home? We have earned the
right to be sent home. We have slept
in mud and water, and filth and frozen
many and many a night when we did
not dare to build a fire. But the boys
in the S. 0. S. wore in warm tents or
in houses. We have gone days with
out food and were up day and night,
while the boys of the S. O. S. were as
safe as if they were home.
We read about the fighting division
being in nice warm room and in beds.
The beds are three blanket and a bare
floor or dirt some times. The stoves
we only read about. We read also
about the glorious Xmas which was
prepared for the fighting men. But
we only read about that too. Now our
work is done and we are waiting and
waiting to be sent home.
After all we don’t seem to amount
td much. We all say if soldiers are
needed here why keep the fighting men?
Why keep the men that did the hardest
work and went through all the hard
ships over here? If Uncle Sam needed
us tomorrow we would be on the job to
help him. And he would not need to
money to draft us either.

THINK OF FOODS IN GROUPS
DAIRY PRODUCTS.
(By Ethelyn Middleton and Anna
Coyle).
This group includes butter, cheese,
poultry, milk and eggs ;these are all
meat savers. War times taught most
housewives how to make an intelligent
use of cheese and proved its value as a
highly nutritious food, inexpensive even
at war prices. Dietitians pronounce
milk to be the cheapest of foods —be-
cause it is all nourishment—even when
it reaches its highest price. The young
and the mature both need fats, and this
food element is found in its most pop
ular form in butter.
Eggs are very plentiful for only a few
months of the year; cold storage makes
them possible at a moderate price at all
seasons. Investigations made by the
club women of Chicago last winter
showed that standarized cartons of cold
storage eggs were better than the so
called fresh eggs, and a third lees in
price. Those familiar with the egg
situation know the reason for this; at
the season when eggs are produced in
large quantities they are immediately
put into cold storage before any de
composition has commenced. This is
made possible by a system of refrigera
tor cars and small pre-coolers in country
districts. They are taken out of cold
storage in practically the same condi
tion in which they went in, fresh eggs.
In times of egg scarcity, eggs are col
lected a few at a time; they may be
some daye getting to market and during
that time exposed to different condi
tions of heat and cold. They are fresh
eggs, because they are not storage eggs,
but they may not all be of equal excel
lence. Unless your winter eggs are
guaranteed as fresh from the nest, and
not fresh as differentiated from storage
eggs, they are not worth the extra
price. Eggs are so important an item
of food, so valuable as meat savers, that
it is very necessary to know how to
buy them at all seasons of the year.
Many people prefer the best evapor
ated milk for tea and coffee and as
cream on the cereal. Whether you use
it on the table or not, always use it for
sauces and for cooking. Diluted record
ing to the directions it has exactly the
food value of fresh milk, and is consid
erably cheaper. It can also be conven
iently kept on the emergency shelf.
FOR FOOD AND FLAVOR
Young green peas are not the luxury
they were before scientific canning
made them an all the year around
staple. However, there are novel ways
of cooking the fresh peas that add
variety to the menu.
The very small sifted French peas
have little food value beyond the six
teen per cent sugar they contain. The
larger peas have a higher percentage
of starch and some protein. The high
est quality canned peas of this larger
variety are full flavored, nutritive and
economical. For the average family
they are much to be preferred to the
extra fine sift.' Many prefer the peas
served with a butter sauce.
The French peas are valuable largely
for taste, and mineral matter and should
therefore be served with meat and
a starchy vegetable, such as pota
toes and rice.
The flavor will be more decided if the
peas are cooked with the pods. Cream
sauce is sometimes used in place of but
ter. Alway save the liquor on either
fresh or canned peas to use in soup.
Visitors to France always exclaim
over the excellence of French peas; the
ipeas are not better than those .aised
here, but they are more elaborately
cooked and seasoned. The French fash
ion is to put the peas in a sauce-pan
with the heart cf an onion and four or
five leaves of lettuce torn into shreds.
Add a teaspoonful of granulated sugar
to a quart of shelled peas, cover the
sauce-pan and shake it over the fire un
til the juices run from the lettuce,
then cover with boiling water and
cook until tender.
There is considerable food value in
pea pods and when young they are very
sweet and tender. The French cooks
boil them in very little water, season
the juice with a little or milk,
butter, and thickening, and the result
is an excellent soup. Or, when they are
picked so young that the peas are hard
ly formed they cook them pods and all,
season with salt, pepper and butter and
send them to the table in this fashion.
When peas get old and large they
are often cooked with little discs of
bacon.
