Of Michigan We're Some Important
Legislative Measures Enacted
THE! DAIRY AND FOOD BILL
What il WasIntended TO Do, and Some
Good Results of It's Early 0pera
tiOn.

Lansing July 2i, l905.-Under the
operation of the act of the recent session
the duties of the dairy and food depart
ment have been largely extended in their
scope, and especially in the importance
TO the business and commercial interests
of the state 1t will be remembered that
the bill was understood at the time TO
have been inspired and perhaps shaped
by Governor Warner, and that his
interest in it was influential in securing
its enactment into law. The features
of the proposed act which occasioned
most discussion, and which were espcci-
ally insisted upon by the governor, as
the vitalipart of the measure, were the
provisions clothing the dairy and food
commissioner with the duty of inspcc-
tion and licensing of dairics. creamericS,
cheese factories. milk depots, and the
like, and empowering him TO appoint
regular and special inspectors, and 20
enter upon premises. in the performance
of those duties 1t is probable that the
state Will yet realize its good fortune in
having at the head Of its affair at that
junction a man of practical knowledge
OF the subject, and of such appreciation
of what the best interests OF the dairy
business demanded. as was "the cheese
maker of Pennington whom they
selected one year ago for the office of
governor.
The governor appointed and the senate
confirmed as dairy and food commits

Rushing from the house with her

father, who caught her and tore the
burning clothing from her body.

summoned who found that she was ter

SOURCE OF TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
Statement Issued by Health Onicer DIR. y
4. Lamb Regarding II.

After such investigation as we can
give it locally, be believe that the source
of the epidemic of typhoid fever, which
developed in Alma soon after the com
mencement dinner was the ice cream,
which was furnished from Saginaw.
The time elapsing from infection until
outbreak of disease prevented a labora-
tory examination of the suspected
source, but a thorough investigation
proves almost conclusively that it was
the ice cream.
The sanitary conditions surrounding
the College are all that could be desired.
The situation is still being investigated
under the supervision of State Board of
Health and we shall be glad to give the
public, in due time, the results.

PROTECT YOURSELF NOW.
Don't Let Insurance Lapse at this Farti-
cular season.

The following from an exchange is
good advice and timely warning well
worth needing:
Here is something that farmers and
everybody else who carries insurance on
their property should do at all times.
But it seems doubly important at this
particular season of the year The
farmers are about completing the hOus-
ing of their summer crops of hay, wheat
aud oats. consequently most of the large
barns throughout the country are full.
II is the season of the year when most
barns are burned Many of these fires
are supposed tooriginatc from Spontane-
ous combustion. caused from the hOus-
ing of damp or iuSuficiently cured crops.
IL is also the season Of thunder storms,
when many are destroyed 10y lightning.
How frequently it is the case, that the
policy had only expired "a short time
previous The farmer was busy and
either neglected or did not take time to
have it renewed Many policies expire
about this time of the year, for the
reason that it Is the season at which
time the insurance was taken out for
the protection of crops See TO it that
your policies are in force at all times.
If one expires quit work and have it
renewed at once; it may be the means
of saving YOU many dollars. The man
who keeps insured and every man
should, ought TO be sure he has it every
hour in the year
