Every young chap who hangs around
outside the church during services,
waiting for his girl, instead of going in
and behaving himself, is fairly entitled
to the "mitten,' and his girl should see
that he gets it.

Deputy Sheriff Emmett Thomas has

in his face. He so far recovered as to

telegram from an uncle residing near

The meeting of the Coterie, last
Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Jennie
A. Buskirk, was of unusual interest.
The program was in charge of Mrs
Mary Renwick; the subject, German
literature. Mrs. Gould gave a fine and
comprehensive character sketch of
Martin Luther; Mrs. Stevenson read a
delightful paper on the Passion Play of
Oberammergau, which was followed by
thoroughly interesting and well-writ-
ten sketch of Heinrich Heine by Mrs
Mcneil. The program was varied by a
humorous recitation by Mrs. Fanny
Woodman and singing by Mesdames
Harvey and Chappell. Members of the
Lawrence club had been invited but, to
the regret of the Paw Paw ladies. only
Mrs. DIR. Baldwin was able to respond
TO the invitation. The Coterie meet
ings are of great interest to all who
have the privilege of attending. Their
plan includes from time TO time cor
dial invitation to sister clubs of adjaceat
villages to attend at least one of their
weekly programs.
Paw Paws noted hunters, Cole Raw
son, Clum Engle and Will Thayer re-
turned from their annual hunting trip
in the upper peninsula on Wednesday
last, having secured their five deer
each, all that the law would allow them
to kill. They say that they could have
killed fifty as well as fifteen, but that
they let the little ones go and took only
the big bucks. Had they not done this
they could have killed their fifteen
within the first three days. They have
hunted together every fall for the last
thirty years and never found better
hunting than this season. They agreed
that, as they were getting along in
years, this should be their last hunt and
they are very much elated that it was
so successful. Probably no three hunt
ers in Michigan, at least not in the low
Ell peninsula, have a longer string of
game to their credit than have these
veterans of forest and gun, Messrs.
Rawson, Engle and Thayer. May they
live many years to recount the adven-
lures of their thirty annual hunting
excursions in company with each other.
The ''pure food law" enacted by the
last legislature contains clause
stating that an article shall be
deemed to be adulterated "if any infe-
rior or cheaper substances have been
substituted wholly or in part for it."
This clause would prohibit the sale of a
mixture of wheat flour or middlings
and buckwheat flour, or a combination
of any other food substances, unless the
manufacturer or dealer shall protect
himself by labelling the mixture as that
which it really is. The law says that the
terms food and drink shall include all
articles intended to be eaten or drank
by man, whether simple, mixed or com
pound. Non injurious mixtures are
permitted, il they are properly labeled,
but not otherwise. The pure food COM
missioners are preparing for an active
enforcement of the law throughout the
state, and the people have reason to
expect that, in the near future, they
will receive what they order, instead of
some compound or mixture or substi-
tute, as often deleterious and detrimen-
tai TO health as otherwise. The penalty
