KEEPING TIE gan.lce....s OPEN
.itizen Followed the Doctors Advice
In Winter and the Plumber Paid
Over tho Percentage.

One upon a time a citizen complained
% q physician that he was troubled
with a feeling of lassitude on arising
Ia the morning, and after half an hour
spent in deep reflection the healer of
men replied:
Although it is winter, l think you
suffer from the want of fresh air in
The house. Go home and open your
cellar windows and let the ozone
sweep through the house at its wild
pleasure"
But the thermometer stands below
Eero," protested the citizen.
80 do you. Let her stand. Leave
the windows open all night. That
!assitude will be gone when you get up
IN the morning" 4
The citizen did as directed, and at
six o'clock next morning the cook wal
borne from earth away by the explo-
sion of the kitchen range. -Four bust.
ed water pipes also went into the cas-
cade business with unqualified sue
cess, and two children were over
hauled to find that their toes were
l%rosthitten. Five days later, when the
plumber had presented his bill and re-
ceived the long green, he entered the
ONCE Of the physician and said:
Twenty per cent. Of $50 Is 318, and
here Is the same. If you will only ad-
wise the old chap next door to leave all
his windows open some night to cure
his asthma it will mean at least $40 to
me and So for you"
Moral-In helping other people we
most always help ourselves.

BACKED BY THE SOCIALISTS
Milwaukee to Have River Park Six
Miles in Length.

Milwaukee, Feb. 1.-One of the
most direct projects eve placed be-
fore a municipal council of this city
was introduced before a meeting Of
that body by the Socialist alderman
and congressman elect, Victor l.. Ber-
ger.
The measure provides for the pur-
chase outright or by the condemnation
by the city of a vast quantity of land
on the west and east sides of the Mil
waukee river, to be converted into a
public park paralleling in scope of
territory and scenic beauty the Hud-
son river park of New York city.
Six miles of uninterrupted water
frontage is planned.
The cost of the project at this time
is estimated at $1,05O,OOO
For eight months Alderman Berger
and other city officials have been
quietly securing options on the land.
"The Socialists are as determined
upon the river park proposition as
they are upon a continued growth of
their party. We are going to do this,
no matter what the other parties may
say" asserted Alderman Berger.
II believe it is the biggest, the
most comprehensive and the most
beautiful thing ever done for the city
of Milwaukee and l mean it. to be my
farewell legislation as an alderman"
1t is proposed by the Socialists to
convert portions of the territory into
plots and build homes for working
people. This, they assert, will pro-
vide dwellings for the poorer classes
on parts of the land not available for
park purposes.

from duty by Canada, is also exempted
by the United States. Some new ma
terials, such as mica and gypsum,
which enters into numerous indus
tries, are to be made free by the
United States. Printing paper is to
become free on the removal of all re-
strictions on the expectation of pulp

an increased total to Asia and ocean,
ca in combination, and a slight gain in
the exports to Africa.
