TWO FIRES IN LIVINGSTON

COUNTY The entire business section of Howell

was threatned by flames which Monday night destroyed two store buildings in the main business section and seriously damaged to ad­ditional buildings.

One man was serioualy Injured. Fire equipment from Brighton and Lansing supplemented the local fire fighting apparatus and stopped the blaze after it gained a headway which threatened the entire city.

The stores destroyed were the Wheeler and Hall grocery, and the Variety Bazaar.

Early Sunday morning the store and dwelling house at Pingree, owned by Shubel Moore were discovered to be ablaze. The fire had gained too much headway to save the buildings or con­tents, and the result was a total loss, partially insured.

SYMPTOMS WOMEN DREAD

Mrs. Wilson's Let te r Should Be R e a d by All W o m e n

Clearfield, Pa.—"After my last child was born last September I was unable

to do all of my own work. I had severe pains in my left side every month and had fever and sick dizzy speDs and such pains during my periods, which lasted two weeks. I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's V e g e t a b l e Com­pound doing others so much good and thought I would give

it a trial. I have been very glad that I did, for now I feel much stronger and do all of my work. I tell my friends when they ask me what helped me, and they think it must be a grand medicine. And it is. You can use this letter for a tes­timonial if you wish."—Mrs. HARRY A. WILSON, R. F. D. 5, Clearfield, Pa.

The experience and testimony of such women as Mrs. Wilson prove beyond a doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­table Compound will correct such trou­bles by removing the cause and restor­ing the system to a healthy normal con­dition. When such symptoms develop as backaches, bearing-down pains, dis­placements, nervousness and "the blues"a woman cannot act too promptly in trying Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound if she values her future com­fort and happiness.

It takes a 1:0ml deal of jn'ief to kill a woman after >he has acquired <i dia­mond necklace.

zation work for the Soeiery of Friends or Quakers.

"Uncle Parker ," as he is more famil­iarly known, came from line old nitf-«ed Quaker stock, and there is not a bet ter known or more highly respect­ed eiflzcn in that parr of the s tate . In referring to his rettiarlcahle res­toration to health by Tanlac, he sa id :

"About live years ajro 1 suffered R peneral breakdown. My prineijial trouble was netwous indigestion. My appetite was very poor nnd my food seldom agreed with me. and I had to live on a very restricted diet. I suf­fered a preat deal from headaches and dizzy spel ls ; I had severe pains across the small of my back and was badly constipated most of the time. In fact, I was so weak and rundown I was not able to at tend to my duties.

"This condition made me very nerv­ous nnd I could not sleep at nicht. Frequently I would lie awake most all niuht' and was In that condition more or less for five years, My phy­sician said lie could not do anything for me and suggested a change of

of comfort. I was also told I had hear t trouble.

"I had read about Tanlac and, as it had been very highly recommended to me, I decided to try it. I got a bottle and had taken only a few doses until I could notice a marked im­provement In my condition. I noticed especially that I was not troubled any more with sour stomach after eating, which was a great relief.

"I kept on taking Tanlac until I fully regained my health. My appe­tite is splendid ; I enjoy my meals and I do not find it necessary now to take any laxative mecicines of any kind. I can sleep much bet ter and am not nearly so nervous.

"I take great p leasure in recom­mending Tanlac to anyone who needa a good system builder, or who suffers with stomach trouble. I have recom­mended Tanlac to a great many of my friends and am pleased to reach others by giving this s ta tement for publica­tion."

Tanlac la sold by leading druggis ts everywhere.

FOLLOWED EXAMPLE OF HOST POOL KNOWN AS MOSES' WELL

Tac t fu l Vis i tor Had No Desire to Be . Is Believed to Be That Mentioned In 'Cal led," So He Duly "Sarsed"

His Coffee.

The oil magnate, Mike Murphy, wlio passed away not long num. was fortu­nate In the fact that his son- inherited their father 's consummate ability, ^ays the riiihi ' lolphia Ledger. < Xie of them, John, tolls 1 his story of a recent visit to a certain section of the country, where he was careful to do as the peo­ple did, and to conform with social usages as he found them.

At the table tin- venerable host poured coffee into a saucer. lint the host 's son drank it from a cup. That made the host angry. "Why don't you sarse your coffee?" he bellowed at the son.

"I t ' s all right this way. father," an­swered the young man. mildly.

"Son, if your eddiratlon is goin' to make you reflect on your father I want to know it. I tells you, sarse your cof­fee ! "

Whereupon the dutiful son emptied the cup in the saucer, and, says Mr. Murphy, "I sarsed mine, too!"

A Flying Furnace. The average meteor when first seen

is about SO miles above the surface of the earth, and disappears from view nt 30 miles. Thus, it t ravels "() miles before the a tmospher ic friction hums H up. This friction, it is reckoned, ra ises It to a t empera ture of something like M.nOO.000 do-reev

the Bible in Connection With Great Law Giver.

In the Ku'.M'iian deserl , about ten miles east of Suez, is s i tuated a pic­turesque pool known as "Moses' well," This is believed to be the well men­tioned in the I'.ilile, where Moses, at the bidding of the Lord, cast a branch into the bit ter waters, and they were sweetened. Set. in a deep grove of date-palms and pomegranate trees, the well is a dark, calm, mysterious look­ing pool, faithfully relleeting the palms which fringe its edges. The scene at sunrise, when the tirst rays s tr ike the still water, is exquisite be­yond description.

At tempts to identify various nat­ural beatifies and locations with men­tions or descriptions as given In the Pdblo have always been difficult, owing to the fact that the records of the rulers of Egypt at the t ime of the cap­tivity of the Jews were destroyed by rulers that came Into power immedi­ately af terward. The motive was jealousy, nnd a determination to wipe from the minds of the people any re­grets for rulers gone.

With exhibits rapidly nearing final form and speakers defin jtly scheduled for all meetings, the finishing touches of preparation for Farmer,s Week at M. A. C. are being taken care of at East LanBing. Nearly five thousand farmers are expected to gather for the annual congress this year if weather conditions are at all favorable, and plans are being made to accomodate a crowd of this size.

The greatest list of speakers ever as­sembled for a Michigan farm gather ing is the claim being made for the general programs by the college com­mittee in charge of arrangements for the wtefc. A. F. Lever, member Fed-•rai Farm Loan Board; Dean Eugene Davenport of Illinois Uuiversity; S. S. McClure founder of McClures Maga­zine; President M. L. Burton of the U of M; Miss Anna Binzel Vice Presi­dent of the International Kindergarten Union; and many other famous speak­

ers will address the various meetings. Last minute additions bring the list

of special state agricultural association meetings and conferences up to 16, the greatest number ever gotten together at one time in the state. The Farm Bureau, the Michigan Horticultural Society, the Michigan Crop Improve­ment Association, the Agricultural Section of the Michigan Bankers' As­sociation, the Michigan Sugar Beet Growers' Association, s tate associa­tions of poultry, potato, and muck farm men, and county agent work are prominent among the special groups holding their own meetings.

Special meetings for women are to be held at the Womsn's Building all during the week, and hundreds of state housewives will be on hand for their annual Housewives Congress.

Four billions, the e s t ima te made by the secre tary of t r easury as nec­essary to be raised by taxat ion during the year, should be cut down a billion dollars by reducing the cost of gov­e rnment . " said Mr. Fess . "The re­duction of the a rmy to a reasonable size, the discont inuance of a naval program that con templa tes dread­noughts costing $40,000,000 and the el imination of superfluous jobholders in Was.uington will make this pos­sible."

Congressman Fi.-s/s character ized the excess profits tax as the "most fool­ish piece of legislation ever drawn." He advocated its repeal and the el imination of high ranges in the in­come tax suggest ing ins tead an in­crease in the corporat ion tax from 10 to 15 per cent, an increased tax on tobacco and cigarets , increased post­age, a s t amp tax and res tora t ion of import duties similar to those in the Aldrich bill.

A short period of deflation is all that s tands between the country and a period of prosperi ty ahead, he said. Slowly deflating prices, be t te r rela­t ionship between labor and capital . and increased production revealed a

The rrason is plain —the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies mere particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been beneiited, to those who are in need of it.

A prominent drupgist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have s< Id for many veara and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re­sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale."

According to sworn statements and verified totimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al­most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri­nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parrels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binphamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Larpe and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.—Adv.

x'uilo.N :ng a mee'.ing at Lans ing to c o m e r with, s t a t e officials, including member s of the legislature, the gov­ernor , and the a t torney general , on t h e question of county home rule for Michigan, a s t a t e me n t was given out by Secretary C. Roy l l a t t e n of the s t a t e commit tee of citizens regarding the object and plan of the p r o j e c t

"Since this idea was lirst launched about a year ago." says the state­ment , "it has been discussed in many p a r t s of the s ta te . It is unfor tunate t h a t we have had no plan of fixed na­tu re to advocate, but have waited till all possible views and opinions might be expressed before framing the mea­s u r e for the legis lature . We follow­ed this method so tha t everybody 'might have a chance to express an opinion, but as a resul t some false not ions of t he proposal have go t t en} o u t and have been given circulat ion. '

"This is a plan for securing county ! h o m e rule in government by consti- !

tu t ional amendmen t and subsequent j ac t ion of the legislature. It absolutely is not an effort to give control of any : roun ty to the la rges t city in tha t I county. It is no t limited to the com-; mission plan of government u r eouu- ; t ies . It is not a personal ati;u.k on any county officials as such, and in­s tead of being a new and nov^i : d ' ; \

fects of the anc ien t county system, or lack of sys tem, show up strongly where a modern city government s t ands in con t ra s t with tha t of the I county. Hence in Wayne , Qenesee, ' Bay. Kent, and similar counties, the idea of county reform has s t a r t ed with vim. But in none of those cities, i BO far as we know, is there any desire to deal unfairly with the rural sec- ] l ions of the county. Ra ther they are ]

This is not an a t tack of any set of so-called 'politicians, ' but an effort to change the system by which they work, to fur­nish a bet ter piece of machinery if a county wishes it.

"Instead of being new, the idea is as old as the sys tem of home rule in California .counties. We are told that the bet ter sys tem there is so satis- j factory, tha t no county would think of re tu rn ing to the old one. They call ' it home rule for t he county.

"It is not a imed to force t he com­mission plan of government on any county, or the commiss ion-manager i sys tem, though it is surpr is ing to read how eagerly, in some rural count ies , the people want 'a new deal.' It hap­pens tha t in some newspaper a r t ic les the re has been talk par t icular ly of the commission plan of government based on a county char te r . Tha t quest ion is to be left to the county itself to ' decide, after t he leg i s la tu re has laid down the rules of procedure accord­ing to the will of t he people of the : s ta te .
