Cement sidewalks.

The Belding BANNER is engaged in
a fight for a sidewalk law that will
provide for the payment of portion
of the sidewalk expense by the city.
Some of the papers are opposed to the
proposition If the Belding council
is wise it will adopt some such a plan
as that advised by the BANNER.
Sparta has been under such rule for
years and we have the best walks and
wore miles of them than any small
town in Michigan. The Belding
dads" might come over and view our
town This is a good burg to pattern
after.-Sparta Sentinel.
Actual exderience is always better
than any amount of theory The
BANNER has steadily advocated the
plan above mentioned and if there is
city or village in the state of Mich
igan that has found it unsatisfactory
VIII have yet to hear from them, We
know of dozens and scores that have
been entirely satisfied as the above
clipping and others which we have
given from time to time show. We
believe it to be right and proper and
the day is coming when il will be
adopted here.

Human beings are what Tony Wei

They will neglect the most reasona BILE

lv. For several years a number of
misguided persons have been agitat-
ing the suspension Of vaccination.
The fact that errors have been made
and that lives have been sacrificed in
rare instances by the accidental use
of unfit vaccine material has given
them their lever.
The result is that many people have
neglected TO protect themselves
against smallpox and the disease at
the present time is more commonly
prevalent than it has been in many
years The disease is increasing
luIOuR u Adi NlNHSuN9o vi lllC part VI
the people and municipal governments
are waking up to greater degree of
caution.
Under the circumstances ii becomes
every person TO not only avoid ex-
posure as much as possible, but to
seek the protection that vaccination
offers. Vaccination is not infallibe.
Vaccinated people have smallpox, but
the death rate among them is from ,
to per cent. while among the unvac
cinated it ranges from % TO 40 per
cent. That should be sufficient evil
