and General News Notes.
AT the quarterly session of the State
Board of Health, held in Lansing a few
days ago, special attention was given to
typhoid and other fevers prevalent at this
season of the year.
The local boards of health are required by
law to make such regulations as they may
deem necessary for the public health and
safety, and to publish such regulations in some
newspaper or by posting In five public places IN
the township. Whoever violates such regula-
tions is liable to forfeit for each offense a sum
not exceeding 500. Although the State Board
OF Health has declared typhoid fever disease
dangerous to public health" under the law re-
4 quiring such diseases TO be reported in some
parts of the State there is failure to secure re-
ports of and prompt action i'm case OF this
disease. The following resolution was there
fore adopted, urging the local boards Of health
throughout the State to second the action of the
State Board OF II salth in the matter

quently called typho o-malaral fever in order to
evade the law requiring such cases to be re-
ported. Frequently more deaths are reported
from typho-malarial fever than from typhoid
fever After considerable discu ssion a resou-
tion was adopted expressing the opinion that
| all such cases should be reported TO the local
nea,sn AZ m m 'er % ana the same precautions taken
OF fever continuing moro than seven DAYS
should be reported TO the health officer and pre-
cautions taken as in other diseases dangerous
to the public health, such as typhoid fever.
Whether or not an extra session of
the Legislature will be called is matter
somewhat discussed in Lansing, says the
Detroit Free Press correspondent at the
State capital:
On account OF the defects in the new liquor
law 1t is assumed that the Legislature will be
called upon to revise It. Governor Luce has not
given the matter consideration nor has there
been received at the Executive office any express
sion of individual or public opinion on the sub
iect The law vas bungled in the engrossme
tended. The trouble is in section B. which re-
lates to druggists. The law ns 10 stands re-
peais all acts or parts Of acts in conflict with it,
and therefore will govern the amount of tax, the
druggists provision and the police arrange
ments In every case where it differs from the
old law. II Is believed by Private Secre-
tary Campbell that the new law cannot be made
the subject of a technical review by the Supreme
Court, for the purpose of establishing exactly
the enactment intended by the Legislature. The
Supreme Court has held in the past that the
official and correct copy Of all acts OF the Legis
lature is the engrossed copy, duly signed by the
presiding officers of the two houses and ap-
proved by the Governor Whatever difference
there may be, IL there any, between this en-
crossed copy of the act and the bill upon which
the Legislature voted must be shown affirma-
lively by the legislative journal. There were
three or four conferences on the liquor tax
bill, and the reports Of these conference COM
mittees are printed in the journal. In each
case these reports refer to particular
words changed in certain named and num-
bered lines OF the bill but the conference
bill. This printed copy has no standing in law
1t is not recognized and cannot be judicially re-
ferred to- The engrossed act has no numbered
lines, and therefore the Court cannot determine
which words in particular lines should stand
/ should be changed, and on this account it cannot
review the change made by the conference COM
a
the case. Therefore II is not probable that the
act Will come before the court 10 cannot come
before IL unless by the action OF some lower tr-
bunal, and then nothing can be done to deter
mine how IL should have read.
II the people are dissatisfied with the new law
the only remedy is to impress their complaints
ON Governor Luce and prevail upon him to order
special session. As no one has yet thought it
wise to have a special session Just to amend the
liquor law, it is not likely that Governor Luce
Will call session for that purpose

continual war on the pine forests can
have but one result, and when the pine is
gone there goes with it all the business

them little attention before the pine is
all gone. 1t will save years Of stagna-
