sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality OF weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on it's repu-

be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really Is Benson's, and not O worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for il.
A plaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster: 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. "You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back. lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip.
pneumonia, and all other diseases open TO
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cure by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are "just as
good as' Benson's. They are vastly in
hf2or.-No other plaster is as good as
Benson's.
In competition with the best-knoyn
plasters of Europe and America, Benson's

THE RIPPER BILLS
State Lawmakers Seemed To
Have a Healthy Appetite
for Them.

Lansing, Mich, May Tt is gen.
orally understood that "all signs fan
in dry weather. This being the case.
1t is probable that l will be spared
the embarrassment of going into
more elaborate explanation OF my
failure TO call the turn in my last let
ter on the subject of sO-called rip.
per- legislation. Really now, one was
quite warranted, in view of the EN-
phatlc remarks INDUCED in by numer-
Gus legislators concerning their own
actions in voting for the first OF this
class Of bills to put in an appearance,
that it would be very cold day be-
fore they would vote for another.
This, however, appears to have been
only way they had for concealing
their appetite for legislation of this
kind, and when more was presented,
and this time in job lot, too, they
swallowed it with a promptness and
apparent avidity that augurs well for
similar disposition OF whatever
more may come up in this line.
How Detroit Is Affected.
In consequence of the legislators
fondness for bills of this sort, Detroit
now has one man police commits
sion, one man park commission and
one man public works commission.
Further than this there are reasons
that the good work has only fair
ly been entered upon, and before the
close of the present week, the fire and
water commissions will be similarly
Transformed and the legal department
Of the city turned inside out. 1t is

resentative Colby raised the point of
order that the constitution provided
that only Il majority vote is necessary
for the passage of n bill. and the peO-
pie cannot amend the constitution by
adopting a contrary provision in n pro-
posed law. The speaker ruled that the
point of order was well taken, and de-
clared the bill passed.

Druggists Must BE Coed.
Druggists throughout the state will
have to be good hereafter if they wish
TO continue selling malt, brewed and
spirituous liquors. for in all probability
the Humphrey bill which seeks to re-
strict the sale of liquors will become
n law Notwithstanding the fact that it
fell two woes short Of passing the
house when it came up on third read
ing the other day. The bill vests the
state beard of pharmacy with author
ity to revoke tho license of Il druggist

of drug stores in the state which do
not do business enough to warrant the

would he absolutely necessary if this
bill became Il law, for it is well known
that drug stores are kept open about
sixteen hours Il day.

to appropriate money for building and

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's nor

possible that some of the new plans
lined, but my recent experience in
predicting possible opposition to this
class of legislation has put me out of
the list of doubling ThOmases. l
would not now predict anything on
the off side of these propositions for
a consideration. The odds are n long
ways greater on the other side, and the
solons now appear to have caught
their second wind, as it were, and be
in shape for new triumphs in this di-
rection.
The only other bill savoring at all
of the ripper passed by either house
last week, was the Grand Rapids char
ter bill which went through the SEN
ate. The bill passed by the senate,
however is vastly different from the
one sent to the governor for his sig
nature a fortnight ago and with
drawn because of the opposition of
that official. The clause in the pres
ent bill rendering defaulters ineligible
to Occupy certain offices in the city gov
eminent is not retroactive, so that per-
sons who have defaulted in previous
years and whose bondsmen have set
tied with the city are on easy street,
there being nothing to prevent them
from holding office as long as n major
ity of their constituents continue to adj
mire their style of doing business.
This saving clause is q great relief to
some ambitious gentlemen who have
mapped out great fields of future use

Changes I'm School Law.
One of the new laws enacted and
Just signed by Governor Bliss is Of un-
usually Importance in the rural dis
trict, inasmuch as It makes important
changes in the school law. The bill
had the endorsement of the depart
ment of public instruction. In the
first place it raises the minimum age
Of teachers from II to 1S years, the
educators of the state being agreed
that the former aga is too young. 1t
also provides for q wider range of
territory for teachers who hold Il sec
ond grade certificate by providing that
any county school commissioner may,

granted to the board of school exam

examiners may, in their discretion, ac-
cept such papers andtreat them In the
same manner as If swfitten at pub
lie examination in their own county.
In the renewal of a certified first
grade certificate the holder shall not
be restricted to teaching in any one
county. In counties containing more
than 100 districts the commissioner Of
schools is authorized to appoint such
assistants as may be necessary, and In
counties containing less than 100 dis

may be made only with the consent
