HHE Japanese women do not have
the freedom OF our American
u women before marriage, but in
some respects they have an ad
vantage over our women - for they
usually enjoy perfect health. They fol-
low from infancy the rules of the Jiu
Jitzu, which teaches them to eat prop
erly, breathe properly, and exercise
nationally, then too they live in the
outdoor air-sleep in paper houses,
which, in fact, is almost like living out
doors - take frequent baths and live
like children in the sense that they
throw out of their lives the cares and
worries which make our women old
before their time. Living simple lives
close to nature-on very plain food
without the social trammels-the con
fining dress - corsets and the many
health destroying practices Of-our more
modern civilization, as a consequence
they grow up without those distressing
ailments which are so prevalent among
our woman-kind. It was not meant
that our American women should suf-
fer as they dO-from month to month
with pains and drains which make their
life miserable, but owing to our modern
modes of living such conditions are
more the rule than the exception. The
woman IS on the road to health who
appreciates her bodily needs-and is
willing to follow others who have been
through the mill of experience. Take
a case in pOint-that of Mrs Martin:
g write you to let you know I re-
ceived your kind and ever welcome let
ter and your kind and fatherly advice, -

CONVENTION CALLED
At Which County Officers Will
Be Nominated.
August 1 Z Is Date Fixed-Represen

The Republican County Convention
for nominating a county ticket has
been called by chairman A. p. Loomis
to be held Wednesday, August II.
Delegates to the judicial conven-
tion to be held in Saginaw, Septem-
Der 7th, will also be elected and a
man to represent the county in the
State Legislature will be named.
From present indications there will
be three candidates for representa-.
tive, Clyde Watt of Saranac, Walter
Rice of Ionla township and John G.
Butler of Dandy, with this trio seek
ing the nomination and the further
fact that there will be three candi-
dates for Prosecuting Attorney in
the field, the convention will undoubt-
edly not lack in interesting features,
enough at least to make 1t lively and
to keep people guessing as to the
outcome.
Dwight C.. Sheldon of Belding,
Henry Horrigan of Ionia and F. M.
Burbank of Lake Odessa, are the
three men who are seeking the posi-
tion of prosecuting attorney.
There will be no contest on any
other of the county officials, a re-
denomination being conceded in ac-
cordance with the usual custom where
an officer has conducted the office In
good shape and given satisfaction.

take in choosing competent men to

TO THE FRONT
BallOu Bread Baskets Getting
There I'm Fine Shape.
State Board of Health has Taken Up
the Matter of Pure Bread and
Issued a Bulletin On II.

Sometime ago the Banner published
an article giving short description
of the Canyas Bread Baskets now be.
ing manufactured by the Ballou Bas
ket Works and the article is already
bearing its results. The slat bread
basket must go and with it the at
tendant pollution from dogs and other
sources.
We clip the following from the
State Republican of Lansing: "One
of the results of the difficulty of Sc.
curing domestic help has been an
enormous development during the
past few years of the bread shipping
industry. Bread is ordered from the
grocer and without thought as to
how it has been delivered from time
it leaves the bakery. 1t is assumed
that the bakery is conducted on sani-
tary principles, as in fact all first class
modern concerns are, everything be-
ing kept scrupulously clean. But, ac-
cording to the state board of health,
little attention is paid to the protec-
tion of bread from contamination aft
er it leaves the bakery.
Says Secretary Baker: 'The woven
boxes and baskets commonly used, are
full of cracks and crevices; Stats are
often broken, and such packages abso-
lutely fail to protect the contents
from germ and dust-laden winds.
Furthermore, such packages are fre-
quently left standing on walks, on
store floors, on depot platforms, and
who can tell il the bread has been
subject to contamination or not"
DR.. Baker mentions the fact that a
new package or case has been invent
ed, which, covered with heavy paint
ed canvass, is proof against contain
ination and impervious to moisture.
If shipped in such case he believes
the public would know the bread was
as pure and Wholesome as it was whe n
shipped from the bakery.
