THE woman in business should re-
member that within certain limita-
tions her well being rests largely in
her own hands.
There are four essentials to good
health: Tight hours sleep in the
fresh air, regular exercise, sensible
clothing and wholesome food. With
out these neither men nor women can
maintain their physical we'll being
fer any lengthy period.
No woman should try working on
her nerves. This may be kept UP
for quite while when pleasure or
the demands OF business tempt one
TO rob themselves of the necessary
amount OF rest. Invariably one ma.
foot the bills. so. in the end the re-
action is apt to prove dangerous.
AT this season of the year thous-
ands OF women are working under

pleasures and devote themselves to
getting sufficient rest outside of
working hours to carry them through
the stress OF the holiday business
conditions. Better, too, few per-
sonal preparations for Christmas

Worlds LARGEST Lighthouse.

The most important lighthouse at
the present time, so far as actual op-
erations are concerned, is the light of
Helgoland, from the fact that it is
centered in the very heart of the
naval war zone. Helgoland was ceded
by Great Britain to Germany in 1890,
In return for concessions made to Brit
ain in East Africa.
The Helgoland light is an electric
one, and the most powerful in Ger
many, and is claimed by the Germans
to be the most powerful light in ex-
istence. The light consists of a clus-
ter of three revolving lights, having
lighting power of 100000 candles,
a magnitude of light which from fig
ures alone is hard and difficult to
realize. The lights are on the search
light principle, and the cluster is sur
mounted by a single light of the same
kind and size, that can be revolved
independently and three times as fast
as the three lights. The single light
is put into use in case of accidentsto
the cluster of three. The electric
power is generated by two steam en-.
gines and boilers, running belt-driven
electric generators.

DARNELL GETS THREE YEARS
TT. Leavenworth for Violation
of Mann White Slave Act.

Milwaukee.-The Rev. James Morri-
son Darnell was sentenced by Federal
Judge Geiger to three years in the Lea
venworth, Kansas, prison, for violation
of the Mann white slave act in trans
porting Ruth Soper from Minnesota to
Illinois and from Illinois to Wisconsin
in November, 1914.
r. ]. Cooney, counsel for Darnen,
was denied in his motion for a new
trial He said that Ethel Sturgeon
had never claimed to be Darnen's wife,
and that after their separation in July,
1912, she had never used his name.
Judge Geiger insisted that the taking
out of marriage license would indi-
cate that they intended marrying. Mr..
Cooney also held that when Darnell
went to Hammond, Ind, and there
married Ruth Soper, it was presumed
that Ethel Spurgeon was either dead
or divorced. Judge Geiger met that
statement by saying that the same
presumption might be used in the
Soper and Vaughan marriages.
Mr.. COoney also took exception TO
the district attorneys being very Sc
we're on the defendant, but the judge
in reply to this stated that many state
ments of the witnesses had not been
challenged by the defense, and that the
district attorneys severe remarks
were no more severe than those of the
defendants own attorneys.

DISGRACE TO STATE, SAYS AT

Defends CHARLES PIERCE
Motion to Quash Indictment For Fail

Under Advisement-Pro
Speedy Decision.

Madison. - 1.-THE corrupt practices

dishonor to the manhood of Wiscon-
SIM declared Attorney T. c. Rich
mond in concluding an argument in
the Dane county Municipal court on
the motion to quash the grand jury
indictment of Charles E. Pierce of
GAINESVILLE, president of the Wiscon-
sin Home Rule and Taxpayers
league, for alleged violation of the
corrupt practices law in failing to re-
port to the secretary of state expendi-
lures made by the league in the pri-
mary and general election campaigns
last year. The motion to quash was
asked on the ground that the indict-
ment was insufficient in that it did
not state facts constituting an Of
Tense, that the law was unconstitu-
tional, as it abridged the right of free
speech and use of the press, and that
the defendant did not make any dis
bursements of money for political
purposes as defined in the law, and
that he was immune to indictment,
because he was compelled to testify
before the grand jury.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Fehlandt took the case under
advisement. By agreement the at
torneys of the defense were given ten
days in which to file additional writ
ten briefs and the district attorney a
reasonable time thereafter to file an
swering briefs. The judge announced
that he would decide the case as soon
as possible.

New Shoes Saved British.

,Chiropodists in uniform as a neces-
sary and honored part of the British
arms is proposed by a London paper,
inspired by the marching record of a
Lancashire regiment, which boasts of
a well-known chiropodist among its
ranks. This regiment has made the
hardest practice marches without a
man dropping out. The reason is the
fine shape the regimental feet are in.
Detached from the humdrum routine
Of duty, the soldier-chiropodist spends
his day peeling and pairing. If every
regiment had the same advantage.
such things as retreats from Mons
| might be made without discomfort
| Besides, the thing which saved the
British on that occasion was the bad
state of the German feet, due to new
boots. The National Society of Chi
ropodists, which has a clinic in Lon
don for the free treatment of soldiers
and sailors, is enthusiastic over the
idea of chiropodist corps, wearing
khaki and bearing the corn and razor
or some other appropriate insignia on
their caps.

BADGER, cow MAKES RECORD
Four-Year-OId Heifer Produces 22.51
Pounds of Butter For New

Kenosha.-Badger dairy interests
have been brought into the lime light
again by the development of a
worlds champion heifer, on the farm
of Senator Isaac Stephenson in this
county. She is Johanna Rue Korn-
dyke, No. 141, 42S, a registered Hol-
stein heifer, years of age. She has
produced 1896 pounds of milk, test
ing 4.62 per cent in seven days. This
means 22.51 pounds of butter. This
is a new worlds record for senior.
4-year-old heifer in the eight months
after the calving. The experts, who
made the test, declare that the heifer
is under a years test and that she
will make 1000 pounds of butter in
the year.

Motor Dishwashinu.

A recent invention that Modern Me-
chanics tells of is motor-driven dish
washer. OF course, in large hotels
dishes have long been washed by ma
chinery under hot water jets, but this
invention is for the family kitchen, al
though in larger size it is made for
restaurants and hotels. There is a
container which holds wire trays in
which the dishes are placed. This is
flied with hot suds. At the bottom,
which runs to a point, is a dasher that
is rotated rapidly by small electric
motor This forces the water up and
between the dishes, cleansing them
thoroughly in a few minutes. The
dishes are not merely sprayed, but
swept by waves of hot soapy water.
and as the trays are stationary there
is no risk of breakage. The conical
shape OF the bottom of the container
insures drainage. With the wide use
of electricity in houses here is avail
able another labor tightening device
like the vacuum sweeper and the cleo
trio clothes washer.

Compilations COSTING More.

They say in New York that COM
plexions will cost more this spring be-
cause of war prices for imported pow
ders, bleaches and suchlike used by
persons anxious to improve on natu-
raj conditions. This recalls conditions
in a certain small community more
than thirty years ago. The little
town had, of course, its social circles,
and there were those who employed
face powders and other complexion
aids. But there came a winter when
deep SHOWS for weeks cut off commu-
nication with the outside world. The
people made the best of the situation,
of course, and social functions were,
if anything, merrier than ever. Sud-
denly it was found that face pow
der famine and an important function
were on. What do you suppose hap

postponed. Nor was single woman
absent on the great occasion. But

GIRL FORGER IS SENTENCED
Agnes Baumgard to Spend Eleven
Months at Rock County Jail,
Is Latest Mandate.

Janesville.-Agnes Baumgard, alias
Anna Smith, convicted on May on a
charge of forgery, was sentenced a
third time on that conviction. By the
last mandate of the court, which, it is
believed, will be final, she will spend
the next eleven months in the county
Jail.
When first sentenced, Agnes was to
have gone to the state prison at Wau
pun for one year. Her pleadings with
the court, and that of friends, resulted
in Judge Maxfield's reopening the case
resembling that sentence and substi
tuting one of year at the Wisconsin
Industrial home for women, which was
later found not to exist.
Judge Maxfield again reopened the
case, rescinded the former sentence
and with the consent of her attorney
and the district attorney, sentenced
her to the county Jail, under the com
mitment law. 1t is believed she will
be employed at the county poor farm
where she has been living since heI
