The lectures on physiology delivered

They have been very fully attenueu
and have given great satisfaction. For
a long period, probably, there has
tainment awakening any such general
and popular interest The high expec-
tations excited by the doctors opening
lecture on temperance on Sunday even
ing have been fully realized The
amount OF information on wide range
of subjects more or less related to the
laws OF health, conveyed by these lee
lures is great and invaluable. Rarely
indeed is community favored with
such an opportunity as this, and at so
reasonable a rate of being made wise
unto just and intelligent appreciation
of the conditions of 'sound mind in
sound body" 1t is we'll known that
the popularization OF science is now all
the rage. The man who can deal with
scientific themes in pleasing and pop
ular manner is sure of the ear OF the
public. While evidently thoroughly
numbered by any unnecessary display
of technical terms, manages, while en-
PERTAINING them, to convey to his hear
ers very considerable amount of
important information concerning the
"house we live in" No one should
fail to hear him. His subject this
Thursday night will be the human ear
and hearing.

Henry Humphrey, state accountant,
came up from Lansing to vote Monday.
He moved his family to Lansing last
fall after election. At the polls in the
Third ward where he offered his vote
1t was challenged and attorneys |. l.,
Hubbell and Alfred Locke, democrats,
endeavored TO find law to disfranchise
him but he knocked them out on every
point and finally took the oath that he
was unable to get here and have his
name registered on Saturday, then
voted good straight Republican
ticket, salary amendments and all. He
claimed his rights under the law rela-
tive to state officers. Mr. Humphrey
says he never misses an opportunity to
cast Republican vote, neither will he
exercise his iii ht OF franchise illegally.
The time has come when we may
urge upon the city householders the
necessity of cleaning up their back
yards, and putting the grounds sur
rounding their homes in the best pos
sibe sanitary condition. The winters
accumulation OF garbage, If allowed to
remain, will prove a menace TO the
public health. II is with pleasure we
note many of the good housewives of
Bedding at work, cleaning up their
yards, and we want all to go and do
likewise. An ounce OF prevention is
worth a pound of cure, and the cleaner
your yards are, the less liable will you
be to sickness; and, besides, you will
enhance the beauty of your surround
ings. Clean up your yards.

not only ruin the shape OF the mouth,
but will cause wrinkles to appear in a
short time.
