Citizens of Alma and Gratiot
County in General Met Here
Wednesday.
WAS NOT CONSIDERED
A POLITICAL GATHERING
Many Farmers and Business Men were
Present as Well as the Politicians.

| The reception rendered the Hon.
Homer Warren of Detroit. at the Wright
House on Wednesday afternoon of this
week by Mr. A. w. Wright, was one of
the largest attended functions OF the
kind ever held in Gratiot county. In.
vitations had been issued broadcast to
every citizen IN the county and fully 600
responded. The reception was not given
in the form of political movement, but
the invitations were extended to all
persons, laborers and farmers as well as
the politicians, those of the Democratic
faith being invited as well as the dyed
in the wool Republicans. MIR. Wright
the well-known millionaire, of Alma,
whose business interests extend all over
Michigan, it might be said, and in
| several other states both west and east
has very high regard for Mr.. Warren,
who has in way been associated with
him in business. Upon learning that
Mr.. Warren was to take part in the
commencement exercises of the Train
ing School for Nurses OF the Aim a
| Springs Sanitarium and visit Alma on
Wednesday for that purpose, Mr.. w right
conceived the idea of taking this means
of demonstrating his approval of Mr..
Warren's candidacy for the nomination
for governor on the Republican ticket ty
furnishing an opportunity for the people
TO meet him.
The reception was announced to take
place from 2 TO O. o'clock, but long before
the time to commence, the spacious
parlors of the Wright House were filed
with visitors from st. Louis, Ithaca, and
the surrounding country. From that
time until long after o'clock there
was steady stream Of people from all
classes of life coming and going. Cigars
and punch were served in the parlors to
all who wished while in the large dining
room refreshments, consisting Of coffee,
sandwiches and other edibles were
served While partaking Of the refresh
ments, Mr.. Warren, at the earne st
solicitation Of those present, was obliged
to sing that song which has made him
famous as a tenor singer all over the
state 1.-The Sword OF Bunker Hill 4"
Nearly every county officer was prese MT
from Ithaca as we'll as large numb er
of others. A number from Shepherd :,
Mt Pleasant and other places outside of
the county were also in attendance.
Mr.. Warren made a few pointed
remarks to the assemblage in which he
stated that he was not here for political
reasons, and, as for his candidacy for
governor, he had nothing further to say
than that he was in the hands of his
friends and Gen. Duffield In the even
ing he was given q banquet by the
nurses of the sanitarium, which was
followed by an imprompt dancing party.
A pleasing little incident occurred at
Durand while Mr.. Warren was on his
way from Detroit TO Alma Having to
change cars at that place which neces.
STATED wait of about one hour, a mum.
Der of his friends soon discovered him
and as a result large demonstration
was made in which the people of that
place greeted him as the next governor
of Michigan"

aLUNACY ON THE INCREASE
In England and Wales the Growth of
Numbers Is Appalling to
Contemplate.

The fifty-eighth report of the commits
sioner Of lunacy issued September 7.
1904, shows that in England and Wales
on January l last II ,199 persons were
certified as insane, being 1926 in excess
OF the number on the same day in 1903.
This increase is comparable with that
OF 1921 in 1902, 2,769 in 1901 and ], 1873
in 1900, the average annual increase in
the ten years ended December 81, 1903,
being 2,513. Private lunatics numbered
9,55l on January l last, including 297
who were maintained by the state in
naval and military hospitals, and SOL
who were found insane by inquisition.
Pauper patients numbered 1O6,771,
and criminal patients, ST. On January
l last, the total number of certified in
sane was to the estimated population of
England and Wales in the proportion of
1 to 288, or 34.7 per 10000 of population.
Last year the ratio was 94.14. In 1894 the
proportion of insane to the total popula-
ton was 1927 per 10. 900.
The physical inferiority Of the insane
is shown by the fact that during 1902
the death rate per 1000 was for males
119 and for females 91.3, while that for
the whole population per thousand was
males ia and females 1872. These fig
ures are approximate, but are sufficient
ly accurate to indicate the comparison.
The ratio of male lunatics is 80 SO and fe-
males 1888 per thousand.
Heredity is given as the cause of 1876
per cent. of the male and 24.4 per cent.
of the female cases. Alcoholic intem-
perance takes first place among physical
causes, particularly among male cases,
where 22.S per cent is given, against
9.5 per cent. among females.

FRUIT SUPPLY IN ENCl AND
Contributed To in Large Measure
by the Orchards of Cal
ifornia

The probable export of grapes from
Spain for the new season will be 500.
900 barrels (72,000,000 pounds). against
1 100000 barrels in 1908. The quality is
far above the average. The exports TO
England are so heavy that in no other
country except Spain are Almeria
grapes SO cheap. Shippers will handle
larger quantities than ever before. For
the next ten months it is stated they will
be most abundant, and obtainable at very
cheap prices.
Thus far England has imported more
oranges than any other fruit. The
amount for the first seven months of the
year was 4,24S,774 hundredweight (475,-
974,6SS pounds. Though the banana
receipts were heavy, they were less BY
over 100000 hundredweight Q12. OOO.-
900 pounds) than those of oranges
Large shipments are expected from
Spain, Palestine and Italy. Up to July
2O,OOO,O 900 punches of bananas had been
imported. The demand for this fruit in
England is greatly on the increase so
much so as to affect the confectionery
and candy trade.
So far 4,191, 5S4 bushels of apples have
been imported from the United States
and Canada. The English stock is excep-
tionally heavy, and English fruit will
be plentiful until after Christmas. The
French, Belgian, German and Dutch
crops are also reported as heavy. Dur
Ing the first seven months of this year
the imports of apples from all sources
were valued at $5,454.373, or double the
amount for the same period of last wear
Fears are very plentiful and of first-class
quality. Large shipments are arriving
from the United States and the CONT
nent. Common pears are as cheap as ap-
pies. In the first seven months of the
year the imports of pears totaled APPS
hundredweight (5,2S9, 200 pounds or
i've times as much for the same period
OF last year. Plums are abundant On
the continent the cropis plentiful. Thus
far 152,749 hundredweight Q4,OS3. 1888
pounds) have been imported. From CAL
lfornia come the Japanese Kelsey plums.
in fancy boxes, have been ordered in
large quantities for the Christmas trade.
When these are over fresh plums from
Argentina will follow.
Fresh lemons and the peel of citrus
fruits will be plentiful and cheap. The
imports of lemons so far this year have
been slightly less than usual, but the
fruit has been larger and finer. Italy
has greatly increased her exports of this
1ru1t to England. The citrus fruit trees
OF Italy number 100000. Owing to
the phenomenal lemon crop in Cali
1ornla, which is probably capable for
the first time of satisfying the American
demand without the importation of a
single case from Italy, England will
profit by large supply at small prices.
Italy depends to very great extent up
on the American lemon buyers, and the
abundant California crop will turn the
Italian exports to the British market.

FAT FOR CONSERVATIVES,
In the Form of Butter and Cream It
Is Especially Desirable
as a Food.

There is no doubt but that the eat
ing OF fat is a natural preventive of
consumption, says Medical Talk for
the Household.
1t is noticeable fact that consump-
tives have an aversion to fat. If they
are questioned it will be found that
they have always had a natural an
tirathy to eating fat. Not all people
have consumption who do not like fat.
but it appears to be quite universally
true that people who have consump-
ton are those people who always
wanted their meat lean, and cared
very little for butter, cream and such
things.
1t seems from this that it would be
q good idea for people who have
formed the habit of avoiding fat grad
ually to begin the use of it. Fat that
has been subjected to great heat, as in
the process of frying, is not the best
form to use it, but fat steak or boiled
beef is all right. Butter and cream are
especially desirable. Therefore, any
one who fears consumption, either
from exposure or hereditary influences.
would do well to form the habit of
taking more fat. The aversion to fat
is doubtless very easily overcome, and
such preventive to consumption as
the use Of fat is at once rational and
practicable.

CITY A NEW MEDICAL MECCA
Chicago Ahead Of Paris, Berlin and
Vienna in Treatment of Nerv-
GUS Diseases.

have novel bit of news" said
prominent physician, of Chicago, re-
Gently. Zone of the leading residents
of Mulhausen, Germany, is coming to
Chicago for medical treatment, and
will probably be accompanied by two
or three of his neighbors who have the
same purpose in view The novelty of
this announcement rests in the fact
that until recently there has been an
almost universal opinion to the eff
feet that the medical practitioners in
European cities, notably Berlin,
Vienna and Paris, were more adj
yanced and competent than those In
the United States. This opinion has
applied especially to the treatment, of
nervous disorders of chronic nature,
with the result that hundreds of
Americans have gone abroad yearly in
search OF health and contributed an
immense amount of money in the form
OF large fees to foreign specialists.
The coming to Chicago of the gentle
man referred to marks an important
change in this respect, and brings
forcibly to mind the fact that in the
estimation of thinking people abroad
American physicians stand in the fore
most ranks of the profession.
In this particular instance the pa
t1ent is afflicted with a chronic
nervous ailment which has baffled for
years the efforts of the most noted
specialists in Germany and France
of ho al
tanned by the lymph treatment, he
made thorough investigation, in the
course of which he obtained strong
Endorsement from a large number of
people similarly afflicted who had been
successfully treated. Besides this he
had the matter carefully examined into
by trusted agents in this country, with
the result that he made arrangements
to place himself in care of the Goat
Lymph Sanitarium association, the
Chicago headquarters of which are in
the Auditorium building In COM
menting upon this case brother ply
Stefan remarked to me:
elf the results thus far obtained by
the Goat Lymph Sanitarium associa-
ton during an experience of some
four years continue at the same ratio,
Chicago is sure to become the medi-
cal center Of the world. l under
stand that in the instance you cite
the patient was advised by one of the
most famous specialists in Germany
to take the lymph treatment-a man
who gave the subject careful consider
alton and admitted that the effects of
the treatment were far beyond what
could be obtained abroad have per-
sonally given some attention to it, and
am very deeply impressed with what

The Next Banquet.

Next Thursday evening the Grand
Rapids Advancement Association will
give banquet at the Elks hall. The
banquet will be served by the east
side ladies' aid society Of the Congre-
gatiOnal church. These ladies have a
reputation for serving excellent meals
and as the Business Mems Association
has increased in number in the last
few months it is expected that this
will be the largest banquet they have
given thus far. 1t is earnestly
requested that every member of the
association purchase a ticket and
attend. The latter part Of the
evening will be devoted entirely
to the business of the asso-
citation and looking to such
matters as pertain to the city's
welfare. 1t is hoped that at least
100 tickets will be sold for this
banquet. The committee on enter
tainment are trying to arrange for
