STILL ROCK SPA
EFFECTS CURES
WILLIAM FELDSCHNElDEH RETURNS FROM
WAUKESHA HOSPITAL ENTIRELY
CURED OF DIABETES.

William Feldschneider has return
ed from. Waukesha where he spent
three weeks at the famous Still
Rock Spa, being treated for an at
tack of diabetes at this hospital. AL
though the disease had advanced con
siderably before Mr.. FeldschneideT
went there he has returned home en-
tirely cured and feeling twenty years
younger
The .Waukesha doctors state that
there is not a particle Of sugar or
the acid in his system, and that the
cure is permanent.
Mr. Feldschneider has for the past
few years been unable to walk more
than a quarter of a mile day. Now
he takes a walk of several miles
every day and is gaining rapidly il
strength.
Before taking the treatment the
disease was sapping out the strength
and ambition as is generally the case
with this malady, and Mr. Feldsch-
neider is glad to tell anyone concern
ing this Godsend in the shape of a
hospital.
The Still Rock Spa is an especially
large institution and patients are ar
irving daily from every state in the
union, the hospital having gained
worldwide fame. The price for treat
ment is moderate.

ATTEMPTS DEATH
BY ACID ROUTE
MISS BERTHA LUECK, A DOMESTIC IN
EDWARD V0I6HT'S HOME TAKES CAR
B0LIC ACID.

Miss Bertha Lueck, domestic in the
employ of Edward Voigt is in a serious
condition at ST. Mary's hospital from
the effects of a dose OF carbolic acid
taken Thursday morning in an attempt
at suicide. She is 20 years old, and has
a father. Julius Lueck, residing in route
3. The girl became afflicted with SER
ious illness and had become despond-
ent. 1t is the sad story of girl left
motherless when child and forced to
make her way through life. With no
one to guide her and as Clarence Dar-
row stated here Thursday evening
poverty is the cause of crime, it can
easily be seen how she gradually went
downward. Her final action should not
be too harShIy condemned as we be-
lieve it is the outcome of conditions
and that if the girl would have had the
chance in life that the rest of us had
her life would have been different. Al
though her recovery is doubtful it is
hoped that if she does get better that
an effort will be made by some of our
local citizens to give her new start i'll
life. She is young and it would not be
too late.

The CITY DEBT,

The actual total bonded indebted
ness of the city of Watertown on
July 81. 1913, is $167,400. The
amount unpaid up to that time is
$4,000 greater, but provision has been
made and the funds are available to
redeem $4,000 worth of bonds of
$1,000 each: Sewers, 4th series;
street Improvement, 1910; park.
Under the new rule of full assess
ment by the state tax commission,
the assessed valuation of the city
will be raised about 39 1-3 per cent.
This does not indicate higher taxes
on the basis of last year. If an indi-
vidual piece of property is assessed
at more than 33 1-3 per cent increase,
then the taxes will be higher in pro-
portion, and less if assessed below
that average, as the rate will decrease
with a full value assessment.
The limit of bonds that can in the
future be issued is per cent of the
bond limit will be 100000.

ROAD MONEY
TO BE HAD
TOWNS SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
OFFER BY THE STATE FOR ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS.

Tables sent out by the state high
way commission show that state aid
for highway and bridge construction
to the amount Of $4,000 can be Sc
cured by Jefferson county, while
Dodge county may secure $4,000. A
communication from the highway
commission calls the attention of citi-
zens to the provisions of the law as fol
lows:
The state appropriation together
with funds available from the towns
and counties will amount to about
$3,800,0O0 to be expended in 1914. 1t
is not too late even yet to obtain i'm
provements in 1914 under the pro-
visions of the state aid law (Section
13I7m-1 to 1317m-15 of the statues as
amended 1919. Counties, towns or
groups of freeholders may secure any
desired improvement by following one
or the other of the following courses:
a.. Towns may hold special meet
ings at any date prior to September
1 and vote tax for state aid purposes
for 1914. Such special meetings may
be called upon petition of not less
than twelve freeholders On three
weeks notice, and taxes so voted
draw aid in the same way that taxes
voted at the spring election do.
(2). Groups Of citizens residing in
the county may collect subscriptions
in cash for any certain improvement
and prior to August Is pay them into
the town treasury of the town in
which the road lies, in which case
the town (within certain tax limits)
is forced to levy a tax for an equal
amount and apply for state and
county aid. Such a method produces
an improvement costing six times the
amount raised by subscription.
(3). If the subscribers do not wish
to force the towns to levy taxes in ac-
cordance with (2), they may collect a
sum not less than $40O, pay it over to
the town board, and the town board
may petition for state aid just as if
the money was voted by the town.
This money produces an improvement
costing three times the amount of
the subscription.
(4). The fourth method is for the
county board to hold meeting on
any date prior to October 1 and vote
to do certain pieces of construction
without having the towns take the
initiative, the county voting to pay
two-thirds of the cost of the work, and
one-third to be paid by the state.
In every case the improvement
must be made on the county system
of prospective state highways laid
out by the county board.
