THE RETURN OF Mr.. DOOLEY.

With the issue of Sunday. July 10,
The Free Press began the publication
of new series of the famous Dooley
sketches. Nearly two years ago owing
to other engagements, Mr.. +. p. Dunno,
the author Of the sketches, discontinued
them. During the years in which they
had been published they won higher
degree of popularity than any other
newspaper or magazine feature; and
ever since their stoppage Mr.. Dunno has
been persistently urged TO revive the
sayings Of the genial humorist philo-
sopher. This he has at last consented
to do, and The Free Press has been
chosen as the medium for their dissent
nation in Michigan. 1t is the intention
OF Mr.. Dunno to keep in pretty close
touch with current events, and his
admirers may expect to be entertained
every Sunday, for an indefinite period,
by his inimitable humor and keen satire,
upon subjects OF living interest.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the
Disease and Makes Aston
iShing Cures,

Oatarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pills, liquid medicines and so called sys-
tenn tonics. Under such treatment the
germs of the disease will still live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages, il enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys the
microbes in the blood and etfectually
drives from the system all traces Of
catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be afforded as TO the powers OF
hyomei 10 cure catarrh is the fact that
Chas. Rhodes will agree TO refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle Of Hyomei The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and II one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for 90 cents.

VALUE or GOOD ROADS.

Massachusetts, has been making marked
strides in good road building But She
can afford to do SO, for large portions of
the state are almost solidly covered with
the magnificent summer residences of the
wealthy. The rest of the country is not
SO fortunate, but the good roads sentiment
has gotten abroad and the people will un-
doubtedly look with favor upon some
practicable plans for reasonable govern
ment assistance in good road construc-
ton. The farmer who lives adjacent to
an improved roadway, which he can
traverse at all times of the year with a
heavy load has such an advantage over
the man who must practically stop haul
Ing after the wet season sets in, that good
roads and good farms are found to invari-
ably go together. The charge is made by
the conservatives that road making is
not III any sense a government function,
that II is long step toward paternalism
and that such improvements should be
handled locally. The fact remains, how
ever, that the government is entering
more and more upon such so-called pater-
nalism and there are few internal improve
ments which would tend TO build up and
promote the prosperity of the nation 5

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
T. A. ELY. OF Alma

There seems to be something radically
ong with our fire alarm system-or
tof system-it is not just clear which.
fire department has to rely upon
.ctions from several excited persons
king contradictory statements as to
location of the fire, which often re-
It's in the department losing much
lluable time by going several blocks
,ut of the way. OF course we cannot
hope for the elaborate system used by
city departments, but a few fire alarm
boxes, judiciously distributed about the
,ity so that the location OF the box may
reached by telephone instead of the
re hall, where it is practically impossi-
lie to understand, might some day save
our village from a great loss by fire.
Surprising the fire occurs in the first or
fourth wards, which are divided by the
river, and the department is not properly
notified as to which side of the river they
are wanted, the consequence is the entire
run has to be made over again from the
starting point, and it is obvious why we
should have two more wards.
