When Harry came home from the
city for his Easter holiday, it was with
q grim determination to go back as an
engaged man or know the reason why.
He knew that he would have to do
something clever In the way of pro-
posing. and, as he had studied the mat

sure that his plan was one that would
surely succeed. But in coming to that

full festival in honor of the deity who
personified the opening of the spring.
The early church, with its habit of
adopting as many of the popular reli-
gious rites as possible into the new
faith, found it an easy matter to trans
form the feast of the earth's awaken
ing from the sleep of winter. to the re-
joicing that Christ should initiate the
resurrection of the souls of men from
the sleep of the grave.
Before the Christian era throughout
Europe blossoms bore the names of the
pagan deities, but with the revolution
of religious ideas the plants had to be
rechristened and the legends attached
to them reconstructed to conform to
the new faith.
Perhaps from feeling of reverence
but few were named for Christ or any

moss But he doesn't paint the picture
of the man whose tongue is parched
with fever, who tumbles and BOSSES in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
baelli of the bucket and the well are
striving for his life. That wouldn't be
a poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with a theme that is not poetic.
As a matter of fact the old we'll and
its familiar bucket have been the means
of diseasing whole neighborhoods. The
microbe is everywhere, and the easiest
vehicle for its introduction into the body
is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out. We can
prevent its harInfulness.
THE DANGER OF DISEASE
does not lie in the strength OF the
microbe but in the weakness OF the
body. When the blood is impure the
microbe has n vantage ground from
which TO operate. When the blood IS
pure disease fails to find a breeding
ground, and the nlicrobe strives in vain
against the man Nobody can be healthy
when the blood is impure. Taint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
bv blood must share the tsint. Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
BODY is made strong to resist the assaults

Ranking next to California comes
Colorado with 80, 449, representing an
increase of 66 per cent over last year,
and Utah with $4,000, this being 40
per cent increase.
Eleven states are planting sugar beets,
and all but one have much larger
amount planted this year than last,
This year there are 259, 513 acres against
1877, 925 in 1901.
The four states named have SO per
cent of the beet sugar acreage of the
country.
The local paintings are large this
year. The Lansing Sugar Company has
5000 acres within a radius of so miles.
Of this, 1900 acres are in Ingham
county. The largest acreage in Michi.
gan, of course, is in Bay and Gratiot
counties, which supply the six factories
in Bay county.
P. FL. Towar of the Lansing factory
said this morning that there is little
doubt that this year Michigan will pro-
duce more beet sugar than any state in
the union. 1t has the most factories III

devoted to oraising the saccharine tubers.
