treat es"h case on its merits, as best
they can. A few simple rules will be
found helpful:
l. Keep up your general health
Don't overdo mind, body or spirit. Eat
more sparingly what agrees with you
and masticate your food thoroughly
freely of cool water half an hour be-
fore meals, and between meals Move
bowels freely. Keep the skin healthy
by bathing and rubbing. Thus the
body may not only resist the poisonous
germs, but may throw them off.
2. Wash nose regularly twice day
Holding cool sailed water in one hand
suck it up through one nostril, hold
a while, blow it out, then do likewis.
with the other nostril. Warm waite
may weaken the tissues. This simpI
method may dislodge millions of germ
3. Gargle the throat night and morn
ing with common salt dissolved in coo
water. Use it for washing the teetl
Sea salt is an even better disinfectan
4. Avoid crowds Keep away fror
people with 'Ecolds," watch the sneez
ers-each sneeze may spread million
of germs. Smother the sneeze in
handkerchief, then boil or bake tn
cloth. The influenza germ seems t.
spread more easily than any othe
microbe. The person with a "cold
may infect all who come within ter
feet or forty feet.
5. If you "catch cold" or feel grippy
keep warm and quiet, eat lightly, clea]
the bowels gently, do as above sug
gested, above all, rest. Send for the
doctor promptly or telephone him your
symptoms. Upon convalescence, guarC
against overwork, exposure or any
thing that might tax your then en-
feebled system.
6. Wise attention to these essentials
will go far to insure against the dis
ease or to mitigate its effects. Other
wise, ones system may be weakened
for life or even death may result.
Health is Largely a matter of "know
how" and common sense. Most folks
have to lose it once to know how to
keep it if ever they get it back again.

natural. Finally the best thing is al
ways selected from all suggestions
made and good results always follow.
It was decided that Sales Day would
occur every three months. The Com
mittee on Fair Day are to make all
the favorable changes possible to make
Fair Day more attractive in the fu-
ture. An effort is going to be made
to attract more people on Market Day
and see that all products are purchas-
ed on these days.
The sentiment expressed was large
" opposed to the present issuing of
Calendars. There is too great dupli-
cation of calendars and only the finest
ones are preserved and made use of.
At least that was the opinion express
ed.
The Ornamental Street Lighting
was left open for future discussion.
A motion was made and carried that
the Secretary get busy and see if he
could make up a list by the help of all
merchants who now have lists and then
the perfected list would be at the. dis
posal Of members.
Considerable profit and pleasure
could be derived from a getting to-
gether" of all the members at each
meeting and local matters discussed
freely without reservation, greater
good to the membership and the CITY
Good" would result
AS it is now, the members don't turn
out regularly enough. There are a GER
tain few who are faithful and on hand
at every meeting, others are hardly
ever there. Of course there are some
occasions when members are prevent
ed from coming necessarily. Our
should be made to COM
ly with the date of our business and
no pleasure date should interfere with
the Business Mems Meeting. Per-
naps it would be an excellent idea to
start good natured row on some
subject. Perhaps the ''Wet and Dry"
subject would interest some to come,
the 'wet" side.

INNOCENT AS 4
BABE, PRICE
TELLS JURY
Defendant Takes Stand and Swears
That He Did Not Kill His Wife.
Etchison Addicted to the Use Of Drugs
Imagined Whole Story.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 15.-Fred-
erick [. Price, on trial in district court
on a charge Of numbering his wife,
more than year ago, resumed the
witness chair in his own defense when
the trial was continued today, and
submitted to further cross-examina-
ton.
Price made sweeping denial of
the story told by Charles D. Etchison,
chief state witness.
Why He Gave Money.
The witness repeated the story Of
his wife's death told by him at the
trial of his suit against the city, in
which he sought damages because the
cliff had been left unprotected. He
claimed that he was making a slight
repair on his automobile when his
wife fell to her death. Price testified
that the money paid to Etchison, his
former associate, since the death of
Mrs. Price, was to aid Etchison in
business enterprises and was not paid
for silence regarding the alleged crime
as contended by the state.
In outlining the case Of the de-
Tense, NJ. G. Brady, chief counsel for
Price, attacked the story told by Etchi-
son, declared that it would be shown
that Etchison had lived on money OBJ
tanned from Price and asserted
that ''if Mrs. Price was murdered, it
was by Etchison who believed that his
generous friend, Price, would be still
more liberal when he inherited his
wife's money"
Early in the testimony Price said
that he had suspected Etchison of
being addicted to the use of drugs but
admitted that he had never seen him
administer any.
Heard Wife Scream.
con the night of Mrs. Prices
DEATH" the witness said, 81 had step
t,ed from the automobile and was
looking into the hood of the machine
when l heard my wife scream oh.
Fred
"Etchison who was standing near
me said something has happened to
your wife
81 hurried to the edge of the cliff
and saw her huddled up on the rocks
below She WAS nnOaninU Ffcbicon
and I rushed down a steep path to
her side, and as | knelt down I found
she was still breathing"
when you knelt down did you
hold a rock in your hand ?" be was
asked
Il did not"
Price said that he sent Etchison
for help and later rode in the ambu-
lance with his wife to a hospital
where she was found to be dead.

FIRST ANNUAL
ROAD SCHOOL
Big Yearly Event to be Held at Madi-
son, January 81 to February 5.

The Fifth Annual Road School of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission
which has become a fixture of interest
to hundreds interested in road and
bridge construction and maintenance,
will be held in the Assembly Chamber
at Madison, on January 81 to Febru-
airy 5, inclusive. At these meetings
there is discussed practically every
vital question concerning the various
types of roads and bridges; methods,
machinery and tools used in construct
ion and maintenance as well as the
state highway law and it's require
ments and provisions.
Owing to the creation of the new
county road and bridge committees,
and to the increased state wide inter
est in the subject of road construction
and maintenance, it is expected that
the attendance at the coming road
school will surpass that of any pre-
vious year, although the Wisconsin
Road Schools have always been more
largely attended than have similar
meetings in other states.
For convenience, closely allied prob
lens have been placed on the program
for discussion the same day. Monday
will be Reception Day; Tuesday, Ad-
minictration Day; Wednesday, Con-
struction Day; Thursday, Maintenance
Day; Friday, Miscellaneous Problems,
(being also County Highway Comis-
sioners' Day.; Saturday, Contracts
and Accounting.
Any citizen of Wisconsin, whether
officially connected with state aid road
work or not, is invited and welcomed
at all sessions. While the program is
designed especially to meet the needs
of county highway commissioners,
county committees, and road foremen,
at the same time contractors, engi-
neers, and city officials have found
much to interest them in the program
and exhibits. The exhibit of road
machinery and tools, always feature
Of the road schools, will probably be
even more complete than usual.

RAPIDS WINS
FROM VILLAGERS
(From Saturdays Daily.

The Grand Rapids high school bas-
ket ball team won a decisive victory
over the Nekoosa high school team
last evening at the Lincoln high gym
The final score was Rapids %, Nekoo-
sa II.
The game was well attended and
great deal of enthusiasm was shown
by the spectators.
The high school basket ball team of
1916 is the best that has been turned
out by that institution for number
of years.
The Rapids men started right from
the toss up, to show the people from
Nekoosa that they were their masters
at the big indoor winter game The
score at the end of the first half was
Rapids p, Nekoosa 5.
Following is the line up of the Rap
ids team:
McSwain-Forward
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Smith-Center
Levin-Guard
Patterson-Guard.
McSwain was playing in the place
of Molly Stark at forward because of
an injury to Molly's finger that was
received in the Stevens Point Normal
game. Stanley Stark was put in at
forward during the last ten minutes of
play.
Collins of Stevens Point refereed the
game and gave excellent satisfaction.
