EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of Fa
miliar Word.

Disease is the opposite of ease. Webste
defines disese as LACK of ease, uneasiness,
trouble, vexatiOn, disquiet." 1t is cOndi-
ton due to some arrangement of the physi-
cal organism. vast majority of the dis
ease" from which people suffer Is due to
impure blood. Disease of this kind is cured
by Hoods Sarsapaiilia which purifes, en-
riches and vitalizes the blood. Hoods Sar-
saparilla cures scrofula, salt rheum, pimp.
les and all eruptions. 1t tones the stomach
and creates good appetite and it gives
vlgor and vitality to the whole body. Ii re-

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed another
band Of counterfeters and secured large
quantity Of bogus bills, which are so cleverly
executed that the average person would
never suspect them of being spurious.
Things Of great value are always selected by
cOunterfeiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitators but no equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness and general debility. The Bitters set
things right In the stomach, and when the
stomach Is In good order IL makes good
blood and plenty of 1t. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength aud vital
ity, and restore vigor to the weak and de-
biliated. Beware of counterfeits when
buying.

The Michigan Farmer says: Senator
Mcmillan, of this state, who is chairman of
the committee on the District of Columbia,
and practically performs the duties usually
delegated to mayors In other cities, is
attempting to introduce the Torrens system
of land transfers In that district. OF course
the abstract companies are fighting the
proposition. A dispatch from Washington
says:
"Senator Mcmillan has introduced bill
to increase the wealth of this community
by many millions of dollars by comforting
upon it the Torrens system of land transfer.
1t is to be hoped, and If our people will CO.
operate with him, it is to be expected, that
Senator Mcmillan will press this bill to
vote, assuming, as he may we'll be justified
in doing. that the law department of our
local government has been unable to find
any objections to it which may be speci-
cally set forth. Objections to it of course,
exist. Under our system of registering
deeds there is much uncertainty, and title
insurance companies pPrcelyng the state of
affairs have appeared upon the scene offer
ing to protect purchasers of titles for a con.
sideration against loss. The Torrens sys.
tenn makes 1t the duty of the government,
for a trifing fee, not only to do this. but to
guarantee to the purchaser the possession
Of the land Naturally, abstract of title
companies have resisted such legislation
with great earnestness. They fought 1t In
Illinois, but public opinion was too strong
to enable them to resist this admirable de-
velopmentof our institutions. 1t Is safe 20
say that the people Of Chicago will never
be willing TO return to the old system"
We were in hopes that the last legislature
would have put the Torrens system In opera
ton in this state, but the opposition had
little trouble In knocking out the feeble
attempts Of It's friends to pass such a law.
We hope for better success In the future.

His Prize.

Commodore Chauncey, during the
war of 1912. commanded for time the
fleet on Lake Ontario, and had the ex-
tremc i'll fortune of never during that
reriOd exchanging a hostile shot with
the enemy. There were a great many
uncharitable enough to blame the
commodore for this, believing that he
was rather anxious that this should
be the case. Some time after the war,
lie was placed in charge of the navy
yard, and one day caught a youngster
with basket, gathering chips. Walk
ing up to him he snatched the basket
and roughly ordered him to leave the
premises while he confscated the
basket for the owners presumption of
entering forbidden ground. The lit
tie fellow backed away until assured
that he was beyond danger, when he
called out: Keep the basket if you
want. It's the only prize you ever
took! k!"--Detroit Free Press.

A look of terror spread over Gielow's
visage. He quickened his steps, and to-
gether they turned into a dark, un-
frequented alley. Here a two-horse car

and a long fur ulster, the wide collar
of which hid the back part of his head
