Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene-
trate the skin with the point Of
a needle You will touch a nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in.
jury to a nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic

branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or

THE new primary election law pro-
vides that at future primary election,
held by any political party only enrolled
members OF particuldr party can vote.
This is good provision, as it will be the
means of preventing members of one
political party interfering in the affairs
of any other party. On the first Mon
day in April every voter should see that
his name is enrolled with the party with
which he intends to of1iciate and there
after he may vote in the direct nomina

THE defeat of the Philippine tariff re-
duction bill was quite satisfactory to the
people OF Michigan, and the representa-
tives from this state who opposed that
measure throughout are entitled to the
gratitude of their constituents. 1t was
bill that would have worked great
injury to an important Michigan in
dustry, and the profits in sugar lost to
the beet growers and sugar producers of
this state would have added to the profits
of the importing sugar trust. No harm
has been done to any legitimate American
industry through the defeat of the
Philippine bill.

WHAT ONE BOOK DID
1.-THE JUNGLE" BY UPTON SINCLAIR,
AND THE BEVERlDGE BILL.

The Novel Caused President ROose-
welt to Investigate Packin Etown
and Led To the Introduction In Com
gress of Meat Inspection Measure.
Packingtown is the latest place to
get squarely under the searchlight of
public opinion. PackingtOwn is the
headquarters of the meat trust, the dis
trict of Chicago where the vast opera
tons of the big meat manufactures of
that city are carried on. To Packing
town come every day thousands Of
head of cattle, sheep and hogs. The
proportions of the packing industry are
such that the Importance Of its being
conducted on lines consistent with pub
lie health is obvious. Suspicion that
this was not the case was caused by
the publicat ton of the now famous nov
ell 1.-The Jungle" In this book the au-
thor, Upton Sinclair, sought to show
that the struggle for existence among
the workers of PackingtOwn is akin to
the struggle for life among the wild
beasts of the jungle. According to the
novel, the grossest abuses prevailed in
PackingtOwn under reign of graft
and greed. The story closes with the
conversion of the hero to socialism, as
a remedy for the conditions described.

produced a literary output remarkable
in point Of quantity at least, for he had
then written several stories. one ro-
