Advertising Pays.

The News wishes to thank at
least a half dozen of it's subscribers
this week for sending in to us
copies of the June 10th issue of the
Villas County News, asked for be-
cause that issue had been exhaust
ed and we needed three copies
very badly. Copies came from
Marengo, Illinois, Chicago and
other places nearby. Seems to
point to the fact that the News is
not generally thrown into the dis
card but is hung onto" for some
reason. Anyhow this call was not
sent out until week ago and this
office appreciates the friendliness
Of our subscribers, who are all 100
per cent in boosting for the News
and in being readers of a news
paper that tries to make it a fam
lily newspaper in every sense by
giving real news as truthfully as
is possible and as much as can be
secured. Thank you.

The Toll of ReckIessness.

Figures compiled by the Federal
department of commerce show
that in the four weeks ending
June 20, automobile accidents killed
AT people in this country, says the
Duluth Herald.
That is fifty-five more than were
killed'in the four weeks just before
that. The killing in eight weeks
took 779 lives, which would be a
respectable showing for a pretty
stiff battle.
For the year up to June 20, when
the calculation was closed, automo-
biles had killed 1908 people against
2,016 in the same period in 1924.
And practically all of these
tragic and untimely deaths were
due to some form of recklessness
or carelessness to some little neg
lect, to chance taken when it
should not have been taken.
For instance, last Sunday eleven
people were killed at railroad grade
crossings. All of them would be
alive today if they had waited to
be sure before going ahead.
With death toll mounting an
nually to figures that compare only
with war statistics, surely this is a
situation that calls for earnest
effort.
Safety work is growing every
where, and it is doing good and
gaining results.
Yet all it can do is to teach
people to be careful, for if every
body were careful all the time
there would be no accidents and no
death lists.

Garry a Potato.

A new scheme to relieve sunburn
is that of rubbing the burned part
of : your anatomy with a lowly
spud, and here is how it is done by
on Ontario guide:
Fred Jackson, isherman's guide
who knows every black bass in
Turkey Point Bay by his first
name, has discovered what he says
is sure cure for the agony of sun
burn. It's not copyrighted and
costs practically othing. It's
merely sliced raw potato.
Fred has tried it on hundreds
of visiting fishermen and says it
has never failed yet. Those who
have tried his treatments report
that the pain vanishes from the
burned skin and a cooling, sooth-
ing sensation follows. Further
more, if used in time, the burned
skin does not even blister.
Fred slices the potato just as
though it were to be fried. Then
with a slice in each hand the pa
tient rubs his face and neck Wig
orously until the pieces dry and
new ones are used. One potato will
do the trick. No more burning and
no more pain.
