the matter, having decided before meet
ing the legislative committee that IL
would not be advisable for them TO take
any action whatever. But the commit
tee of representatives was determined
on such action, the majority OF the COM
mittee having seen trying times in their
counties because of that office. SO far
as Shiawassee county and his own feel
ings were concerned, however, Mr.. Ma
son preferred to have it as it used to be,
for in many cases they could help out
the county commissioner. The change
of law in regard to the day OF review
was noted as perhaps necessary in some
counties, but one which would involve
some extra and probably useless ex-
pense and waste of time in this county
"a man may know the whole text of
the drain law word for word, and may
be able to quote any section he wants to
and vet he can't lay single drain that
will hold unless he knows the Supreme
Court decisions too" was the remark
made by Mr.. Mason when referring to
the action of that body. Not only that,
but a commissioner while following the
very letter of the law might become liable
for heavy damages. Some apparent in
consistencies in assessments would also
be explained away by a knowledge of
such decisions A person has no reason
to kick if he does not attend the reviews
of the drains, and fully ninety per cent
of those who do attend the reviews are
perfectly satisfied with the assessments.
There is already over a years work
ahead of the incoming drain commits
sioner if he should not have a single adj
ditional application.

NOVEL IDEA IN SKIRTS.

Ever since spring skirts have been be-
coming tighter over the hip. Now
comes a skirt which has caps of velvet
over the hips, mixing it peculiarly
novel.
Green cloth is used in the construc-
ton of the gown. The skirt has front
panel, ten inches in width, of green
cloth, embroidered at the foot with
mohair braid in fancy design-one Of
the new braids that are 80 irresistible.
At each side Of the panel is a narrow
strip of black cloth. which in the upper
portion of the skirt extends into broad
caps for the hips, ending at each side
Of the back breadth. The latter is laid
in tiny plaits at the belt. ~
The side forms of the skirt are pleat-
ed beneath the hip caps, and are very
full. In decided contrast to the front
width they are entirely unadorned. o.
The jacket worn with this skirt il
tight-ftting, and opens in the front
over silk shirt waist. 1t is trimmed
with pointed revers of black cloth, and
edged with small, braided design.

THE SOCIETY GIRL.

Taste, grace, kindliness, the art of
putting people at their ease, the ready
jest, the quick repartee belong to the
outfit of the society girl. A certain
daily finish distinguishes her. She has
SAVIOR faire. She is not readily thrown
from her poise; her background is Sc
cure and she has the immense advan-
tage of knowing that her world is at
her feet. Her mother, always at her
side, judicious, considerate, affection
ate, probably contentedly allows her
self to be thrown into the shade by this
second self, who seems to her the ,very
crown and flower of her life. The faith
or, the brothers, the consins of the
slender, sweet maiden are all intensely
proud of her and the first simply lives
to serve her, to crafty her caprices, to
furnish her with money, to wear her on
his heart as one wears white rosebud
in his buttonhole. But, being an Ameri-
can father, he would resent with scorn
the allegation that his fair daughter is
merely an ornament He knows her
underlying strength, her reserves OF
force, her possibilities. If the need
comes this father will tell you that his
girl could and would do just what his
boys have done; she would go into
business and make a fortune, or, at
least, hold her own among fortune ma
kers. --Hsrper's Bazaar. w GIL ~ f'

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
Of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
Of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
ceSsful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

Adams, we'll known druggist, Of
Geneva, Ala, in letter inquiring the
price of dozen bottles, that he might
not only have it for use In his own fami-
ly but supply it to his neighbors. The
reason some people get along without
it, is because they do not know its val
ne, and what a vast amount of suffer
ing it will save. Wherever it becomes
known and used, it is recognized as a
necessity. for it is the only remedy that
can always be depended upon for bow,

Chronic Malaria.

The symptoms are: cold, sticky
sweats, tired out feelings, chilly feel
ings alternating with hot flashes, coat
ed tongue, bad breath, dizzy head and
and dull headache, loss of appetite,
heavy. unrefreshing sleep, ringing in

fore the eyes. OF course no one has all
these symptoms at once, but they will
come, one after the other, making the
victim hideously miserable.
