Importance of Learning to Relax
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

Relaxation is essential to good
health. Ask any physician and he Will
tell you this is the truth. 1t is one of
the gravest mistakes housewife can
make, therefore, not to rest for a little
while some time during the day. 1t
matters not how pressing duties are,
constant work will make her pay the
price of enforced idleneSS and prob
ably of suffering if this law of inter
mittent labor and rest is broken.
The old adage that a man works
from sun to sun out a woman's work
is never done is, indeed, true, for there
Is always something that a housewife
can do and which seems important
She is always in the midst of her en-
vironment of duties, and she 1t is who
Is the head of the work. Probably she
does it herself, especially in these days
of ServantleSS houses. No doubt if
man were i'll his environment of work
6.i the time, he, too, would come under
the same class of those having no set
hours for laboring, and so never be
Tree from the pressure of tasks.
Nature expects work to be done as
efficiently and with as little waste en-
ergy as possible. But she is not a
hard taskmaster. If she were she
would not let us return to work after
q needed period of relaxation with a
store of health and vigor, so that we
can do more work in less time than
without, thus enabling persons who
OBEY her laws actually to accomplish
more in given time than those who
think they cannot stop, and who insist
they must keep going" all the time.
Methods of Relaxing.
1t is often necessary to acquire a
hablt of relaxation. Reading some
book sufficiently interesting to hold
the attention. but not exciting is one
method. Doing fancy work leisurely
Is another. Playing solitaire is still
another. Lying under the trees and
listening to the birds carol or sitting
on the beach is another way to gain
the ability
There is an art in knowing how to
relax. 1t is one that can be learned.
Sit quietly and receptively. Drive
from the mind all unpleasant thoughts.
DO this by insistently thinking of
happy experiences and memories.
Think of every nerve as resting, of
every part of the body as being sup
ported comfortably. These are the ru-
dlments of getting into d relaxed con-
d1tion. 1t takes from four to ten min
utes for those accustomed TO relax
TO get into its power. So do not be
discouraged if at first you don't sue
ceed. Try again, and then againl
Remember, it will pay well.
Strong Power.
Time spent in genuine relaxation,
we'll deserved is never time wasted
When under its magic influence you
are in the grip of a marvellous power
that is being inStilled into you in so
soothing and refreshing a way that it
is difficult TO realize you are being
benefited. After such "a period you

STRUCK BY A TEAM
So. Lancaster School Girl Had Narrow
Eecape From Serious Injury.

Miss Catherine Liebfried, daughter
of Geo. Leibfried, So. Lancaster far
mer, had a narrow escape from serious
injury or death when run over by a
team as she was walking home from
school last Friday evening.
The accident happened about o'clock
near the Geo. Marks place on the Bee
town road. Miss Liebfried and older,
sister, Florence, were walking along
the road to their home three miles
west.
A team driven west by VIM. Boyle
took fright at motorcycle ridden by
Clifford Bass and bolted ahead toward
the girls who were walking on the
right side of the road, according to
Geo. Marks who witnessed the acct
dent.
Miss Florence managed to escape
unhurt. Miss Catherine was knocked
down and rolled over and over under
the wheels. She was picked up and
taken to the Marks house. An exam
nation showed a mass of bruises and
a severe cut on the back of her head,
but no serious injury.
Pedestrians on a road should make
it a rule to walk on the left side, fac
ing the traffic, so they can avoid being
injured from behind.

RYLAND PARK CUTOFF
Relocation of Madison Street to do
Away With Dangerous Corner.

At the request of the Lancaster city
fathers the district highway office has
prepared plans for relocation of No.
Madison street at the southeast corner
of Ryland Park, which will make a
safe crossing out of a dangerous traf-
fic trap as existing at present as well
as a handsome thoroughfare at that
point.
The plan calls for chopping off of
the corner just east of the Ryland
monument and extending 1876 feet
north and south until it resumes the
regular line of Madison street. The
proposed streets line will be 80 feet
west of the present corner where the
electric ighe post now stands. At
the widest point the proposed street
will be 70 feet wide.
The improvement is carrying out the
policy of the highway commission to
eliminate traffic traps wherever pos
sible. No. Madison street is part of S.
T. L. No. IL. The street will be sur
faced with macadam.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Modern Building About Ready.-Will
be in Use by Next Fall.

The handsome new high school
building erected by the people of it.
Dist. No. 8, aLncaster and parts of
North and South Lancaster, is prac-
tically completed although certain de-
tails are still in hand. BY September
the school plant, inside and out,
building and grounds, will be COM
plete1y ready for occupancy when
school opens.
The building is of handsome rough
brick and of graceful and handsome
design. The first floor contains the
heating plant, ventilator room, man.
moth gymnasium and domestic sci
ence and manual training rooms. The
second floor houses the offices, large
corridors with terraza floors and Ten
nessee marble wainscoting, large study
rooms and mezzanine floor which will
serves as a track for the gym. On the
third floor are additional large and
airy study rooms and an auditorium
with stage, moving picture room and
seating capacity of 500.
All the trim through the building is
the best. Maple and pine are used on
the floors with light oak trim on
the walls and windows.
The clock system, toilet arrange
ments, shower baths, heating and ven
tilating, ETC., are all of the best and
latest and in keeping with the char
acter of the building. All in all, the
Herald would venture to say that our
district has the finest high school in
southwestern Wisconsin.
The first cost is soon forgotten but
the satisfaction growing out of quality
lasts always. Lancaster is bound to
experience boom from such fine
school building. Those considering To-
eating here would do well to look
around now instead of waiting until
later when completed houses and
building lots will be much higher.

BURN FIERY CROSS
Rain and Cold Dampen Big Khan
Meeting Here Saturday.

Rain and cold weather put a damper
on the big khan meeting here Saturday
night although an immense crowd of
klansmen, klanswomen and curious
spectators were present. The crowd at
the field on w. Maple St., where the
assemblage took place, numbered
$500. Hundreds of out-of-town motor
cars were in Lancaster from all near
by points. But the extreme chill of the
evening tit showed next morning) and
the biting rain apparently dampened
the ardor of those present as they be-
gan pulling out before the ceremonies
took place. Speechmaking was cut
short but a fiery cross, prepared for
the occasion was put up and burned
about 1920.
A parade was held about $3.50
o'clock Watchers on the side lines
counted 81 cars containing riders in
khan costume with a following of cars
containing people without hoods. At
least 25 of cars bore Iowa numbers
and the balance Wisconsin. Specta-
tors who looked for lines of marchers
and big brass band were mildly dis
appointed.
Chief of Police Kerr was on the job
with number of deputies to maintain
order and direct traffic which was ex-
t1emely heavy. However, aside from
some traffic confusion, all was order
ly and as peaceful as could be.

PLATTEVILLE
MAN VICTIM OF.
SPEED MANIA
Ira Phillips, 80, Garage
Proprietor, Killed at
Belvidere, Sunday.

Ira Phillips, SO, Platteville garage
proprietor and senior member of the
firm of Phillips Bros, is a victom to
the great American god of Speed.
Lifeless he lies at his home in Platte
vile. An aged mother, bereft wife
and two fatherless little sons sit for
lorn and in tears. Burial will be made
at his old home in Mineral Point to-
day.
Mr.. Phillips and his younger broth
er, Arthur, were driving two new Star
cars from Chicago to Platteville Sun
day. Just west of Belvidere, ILL.,, at
about IL a. m, Ira Phillips, in front,
thought he heard his brother sound
the horn. He stopped and pulled out
on the side away from the concrete.
His brother stopped in a similar man
ner Finding nothing wrong Ira Phil
lips went back to his machine. AS he
went to step in he was run down and
killed.
A Ford car came up behind and sped
on at the hurricane speed used on the
Lincoln highway. Behind the Ford
was big Studebaker. The driver of
the latter essayed to pass the Ford
at the point where the two Stars
were parked and in so doing struck
macadam side road. His machine
hurdled clear around and turned over,
pinning the unfortunate Platteville
man beneath it. A door hinge pene-
trated Mr. Phillips skull and crushed
his brains out.
Thoroughly frightened, the driver of
the Studebaker sat and howled for
help. Alone and unaided Arthur Phil
lips lifted the Studebaker from his
dead brother and removed the body.
How he did it no one knows. His hands
are a wreck.
The body of the dead man was
brought home to Platteville the same
day. The driver of the Studebaker is
under bonds. A man living on the
Lincoln highway at the point where
the accident happened, witnessed the
tragedy.

SATURDAY,
MAY BOTH,
POPPY DAY
Public to Have Opportunity
to Help War Disabled
Give What You Can.

The Herald has been requested to
write something about Poppy day,
next Saturday, which is also Memorial
day. Looking around we can find moth
ing better to offer than an offering
from the pen of Ernest Osburn of
Knoxville, Iowa, an old friend of the
Herald mans. Ernest is a druggist in
Knoxville and runs an up-to-date
store. He is also a clever and engag-
ing poet and writer and his ads al
ways carry some snappy jingle or
verse. In regard to Poppy day he says:
POppieS
My crimson petals represent
Youths sacrificial blood,
That drenched the battlefields of
With wars revengeful flood.
There youth met youth, and fate
claimed both,
And there they're lying low,
Martyrs to battles savagery
On fields where peoples grow.
Lest we forget the price they paid
A poppy red we'll wear
In memory of the heroes dead,
To show that we still care.
1 was requested by an officer of the
Legion auxiliary to help inform the
public as to the purpose of the poppy
sale.
May 80 is Poppy day in our town.
The peoples offered for sale have been
made by disabled American soldiers
of the world war. The proceeds of the
sale go back to the soldiers in the hos
pitfalls and there is no profit to any or
ganization except those in which the
world war veterans are interested.
One million five hundred thousand
peoples are ready for sale in the
United States. The price is ten cents
each or what more you can give.
The word hate does not express my
feelings toward war. l even hate the
thoughts of war. The human wreck
age left in its wake is appalling. 1
look upon was as a pastime for saw
ages, not for human beings. The god
of war asks no questions; he takes
our boys for cannon fodder, and those
who escape fill our hospitals. 1t is
these boys you are asked to help.
Do I believe in preparedness? 1
sure do, to the ninth degree, for home
protection.
Buy poppy. They have already
earned more than we can ever pay
them.

LITTLE GIRL HURT
Evelyn Walker, 4. Knocked Down by
Driver Of Ford Car. ~

While her mother, Mrs. Henry j.
Walker, was absent attending sale
of the Walker estate Saturday after
noon, Evelyn Walker, aged 4, was
knocked down and injured by the I'M
known driver of Ford car near the
Walker store, south of the depot.
Evelyn darted across the street and
was struck by the fender of the south
bound machine. Had she been foot
closer she would have gone under the
wheels. AS it was she suffered deep
cash in her chin, bruised shoulder
and hip.
Witnesses of the accident were so
excited that they failed to take the
drivers name and number. He stopped
but when he saw the child get up,
proceeded onward.
