Daily Health Hint
FOR TIRED FEET.

The work of Mr. Mann of Anyhow
necessitates his walking quite bit,
and often his feet were so tired that
he felt as if he would have to change
jobs.
He found, however, that if he bathed
his feet in lukewarm water in which
handful of salt had been thrown just
before retiring at night, great re-
lief was afforded.
The water should not be very hot.
If the joints are sore a vaseline mas
sage is good.
After feet are bathed they should
be thoroughly dried between the toes.
If there is a tendency there to sore
ness, or to the formation of white skin,
sprinkle freely with bismuth and place
dry absorbant cotton between the toes.
When feet burn from long stand
ing, soak them in basin of warm
water in which two tablespoonful of
baking soda is dissolved
This burning sensation usually is
the result of too much blood in the
veins of the feet.
The warm alkaline water softens
the skin and opens the pores, allow
ing this undue quantity of blood to
dispense. V

all of us would give full cooperation it is not
improbable that the loss from fire in Kenosha
is this year of Grace 1925 can be even more
sharply reduced.
/ Reducing five hazards in city is some
thing that is reflected in the pocketbooks of
every citizen. Proper fire protection on the
part of the city and proper cooperation for
the prevention of fires on the part Of the public
at large means reduced rates of insurance
Every owner of building must buy insurance
and with little effort on the part of every
one condition could be brought about in Ke-
nosha where the cost of insurance would be re-
duced to the minimum. There is the possible
ty that Kenosha could save in insurance pren1i-
ums the entire cost of the maintenance of it's
fire department.
It's easy to see that this cooperation offers
one of the easiest ways Of reducing taxes in Ke-
nosha for the insurance premium is just as
much tax as the mill tax levied by the city
council.
Cooperation on the part of employees Of
every industrial plant is greatly to be desired.
Such cooperation is certain to be a saver OF
lives and a preservef Of property and insurance
that the factory viii not be crippled and large
sums lost TO employees by the factory being
forced to close down on account of fire losses.
Just as desirable is the cooperation which can
come from every private citizen. Kenosha is
closely built city and fire in one home is
liable to bring fire loss to a neighbor. Being
real neighborly means protecting the property
of the neighbor by protecting your own proper
Ity. PIX u
Chief Schwartz and his men stand ready to
render the best service that is in them and it
should be supplemented with the best caution
that the citizen can give. The proper study
of conditions in your own attic and your own
basement, the assurance that the electric
wiring of your home is safe are contributions
that you can make to this general movement
to save money for the whole city of Kenosha.
The fire department Of the city will appreciate
this kind of cooperation.

THE COST OF A BAD ROAD.

We have said a lot in recent years about the
value of good roads and the ACCESSIBILITY of
building them A jury up in the circuit court
has handed the county little statement show
ing the cost of bad roads and the desirability
for eliminating them 5s@a saa
This jury of twelve men, all Of them having
the interest of this section of the state at
heart, found that Kenosha county had failed
to properly maintain a county highway and
fixed the damages to Kenosha county on ac-
count of this failure at seventeen thousand dol
lars.
It's possible that higher court will say that
Kenosha county was not entirely to blame for
an accident in which a boy was terribly injured
and manned for life. Just the same the fact
remains that if this road had been in good con-
dition this boy would not be going through life
with his arm off. The county of Kenosha
could pay this judgment without any of it's
people being seriously financially embarrassed,
but this boy cannot pay the penalty be paid for
a bad road without being handicapped all
through life + a9aa5a-
Building good concrete road is greatly to
be commended in any county, but along with
the building of this road there should be some
idea of maintaining roads which are not i'm
proved with the same degree of permanency.
When the county takes over road it invites
people to travel on it. and it is responsible for
their safety when they travel that road with
ordinary care. A narrow poorly kept road is
continuing menace to traffic and continuing
menace to human life.
1t may be an expensive lesson for the county
but just the same this lesson should be taken
to heart The expenditure of that seventeen
thousand dollars on road maintenance would
have made this road lot better and lot
safer and it is greatly to be preferred to spend
money for the repair and upkeep of roads
rather than in the payment of damages.
Big railway corporations may think that it
is cheaper to. pay damages than to maintain
proper protection, but this entirely in-humane
idea should never be allowed to grow into
practice in connection with the maintenance
of roads in Kenosha county.

Then the teeming millions of China
viii seem to be facing the choice of
starvation or emigration.
The trouble is that emigration will
not solve the problem. 1t may for
the individual who emigrates, but not
for the nation. So long as The pres
ent birth rate continues, China would
still have just as many people, no
matter how many emigrated
An equal number at home, who
otherwise would have died, would live.
Either these races will overspread the
earth, to the elimination OF the loss
fecund, or they must learn to live at
home. And they can live there only by
reducing the birth rate. That means.
unfortunately, reserving all their ira
ditional ideals.
For Japan, fortunately, there is the
other alternative. Japan can expand
vertically, instead of horizontally, by
industralizing itself, as England and
Belgium have done. But for China
there is only one choice fewer births
or more deaths.

CUTTING THE LOSS.

The annual report of the chief Of the fire
department showing that the fire loss in Ke-
nosha during the last year was under thirty
thousand dollars is worth more than passing
consideration.
The Chief of the department., one of the best
organized and disciplined, in any city in Wis
consin, modestlyz suggests that cooperation on
the part of most of US has been very valuable
in reducing the loss to Kenosha from the fire
fend Undoubtedly there is room for increased
cooperation with the fire department and if

Of course if the city of Chicago and it's sani-
tary district wants to get nasty and show its
ability to "beat the other lake ports out of
their rights" the thing to do is to clamp the
lid down tight and make that decision of the
supreme court binding just as soon as possible
If Chicago is really honest in it's anxiety about
protecting the lives of its two or three million
people, the way to show its honesty of purpose,
is to promptly take steps to protect that health
by modern and adequate sanitary disposal of
it's sewage If Chicago would rather spend
its money fighting in courts and lobby
ing before congress than in doing the decent
thing, there can be but one answer and that
is for the lake cities to see that Chicago has
a run for its money.

CONDEMNED MURDER WANTS
TO DIE BY AXE

HANOVER. Dec. 49, Fritz Haar-
mann, wholesale murderer of Han-
over, and his occomplice, Hans Granz
are both doomed to die under the
headsman's axe.
Hartmann, the human vampire, z
was to-day sentenced twentyrfour
times to death for the twenty-four
murders which were proved against
him. He was acquitted in three
cases. and all further charges against
him were quashed.
CRANE was sentenced to death in
one case and to twelve years impri-
sonment and loss of civil rights in
another for aiding and abetting Haar-
mann.
Prisoner Makes Speech
With these sentences, the most a.
mazing criminal case on record came
to conclusion to-day after trial
lasting fourteen days during which
there were revealed depths of depra-
witty that even the experts in criniin-
pathology did not dream of.
The orge received his sentence with
the same hooking smile he maintain
ed throughout the trial. When the
judge ended the sentence Hartmann
stood up and said:
Il accept the sentence wholly and
completely, even if it is wrong in
some parts. l have wanted it to be
that way ever since the first day of
the trial
Both the judge and Haarmann's
lawyer advised him to consider the
matter before making such speech,
but he exclaimed impertiently:
Il have considered it all, long ago.
Granz took this sentence stoically
and did not utter sound.
Death in the Spring.
Haarmann's expressed wish, how
ever, that his head be chopped off be-
fore Christmas will not be carried
out because the unwinding of legal
formaiities before the sentence can
be executed are expected to take UNI
til Easter.
Before the sentence was passed
detachment of police with rifles
marched into the court and formed
protective chain around the court
and prisoners, as it had been again
whispered that an attempt would be
made to assassinate Hartmann in
the courtroom.
