Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON. Aug. 25.-The Gaekwar OF
Baroda, who has been travelling through
Scotland says that he spoke jokingly
when he told the New York reporters
that American women lacked real
beauty.
''I have really found American ladies
charming women" says his highness.
The Gaekwar says that upon his ar
rival in London he found number OF
letters from American correspondents,
some of whom protested because they
thought he spoke slightingly of the
beauty Of American women. That, he
asserts was not even the case. The
American reporters misunderstood his
pleasantries for a serious mood. More
over. he says he distinctly remembers
stating at the time that they not only
possessed charms peculiarly their own
but that they were the best dressed
women that he had seen.

which has followed blindly the lead
of their bosses. Do the people of Los

Another Consumption Serum

opecIaI CdDIe 10 IIe fieraIu.
GENOA, Aug. 25.-One more anti
tuberculosis serum is advertised, that
discovered by Prof. Morigliano of
Genoa. A culture of bacilli is injected
in repeated and increasing doses into
goats. These animals tolerate it, but
four or five cubic centimeters, of it will
kill horse. After six or seven months
of treatment serum called bacterioly-
sine is obtained from the goats, and
this is claimed to be a cure for tuber-
culosis If administered soon enough.
From 1900 to 1905 over 800 patients have
been treated by bacteriolysine, injected
in doses of one cubic centimeter every
two days for about four months. A
hundred and twenty-one are now
stated to be cured.

After a man or woman has tried many
remedies, has consulted many doctors,
(and still the disease lingers), and then
has turned to Peruna as a last resort
and realized immediate benefit and
finally lasting cure-after such a
thing has happened a lasting faith in
the virtue of the remedy is the result.
1t ought to be so, too The reputation
of Peruna is built upon a solid founda-
tion of public confidence.
People have tried It, been relieved by
it and believe in it. This and this
alone explains the universal popularity
of Peruna as family medicine.

Peruna that sells Peruna.
No advertising can make any medi-
cine as popular as Peruna has become,
unless the medicine has some intrinsic
value.
All over the land men and women arc

They are doing this in spite of the

BADGER 5 GAOUuSH WORK
Brady Cemetery in Seville Town.
ship Visited by Carniverous
Quadrupsd.
RINGS IN DRUTE's STOMACH
TIE Animals Are Sal TO be at Work
In Other Seville Township
Cemeteries

S. b. Abbott, of Seville township, was
a caller at this Office last Saturday. Mr..
Abott brought with him the jaws and
te 9TH Of badger recently caught in a
trap placed in Brady cemetery in. that
township. The badger caught weighed
22 pounds and was fine specimen Of
that carniverous quadxped supposed TO
be extinct in this section of Michigan.
Mr.. Abbott's attention was called to
the existence of the animal in that
township by a visit 90 the cemetery
referred to. During his tour OF inspec-
ton he found the grave of an old
Seville township pioneer i'll most
shocking condition. The work, most
ghoulish in character, being attributed
to the animal referred to. The grave
TO which Mr.. Abbott's attention was
attracted contained all that was mortal
of one of Seville townships citizens,
whose death and burial occurred score
or more Of years ago. Lying around
partially covered with the freshly exca-
waited earth was found human bones,
pieces OF underwear as well as pieces of
the casket in which the remains of the
former citizen was Laid to rest. Mr..
Abbott gathered together the fragments
of the body that were exposed to view
as we'll as the many other evidences of
desecration and placed them in an open
ing in the casket, plainly visible through
the excavation made by the animal.
AS if the above fact was not sufficient
evidence of the carniverous character of
the badger. our informant said that in
dressing the badger recently caught he
discovered two gold rings in the stomach
of the brute. The animals are said TO
be at work in other cemeteries i'll that
portion of the county and traps are be-
ing placed to catch as many as possible.
Mr.. Abbott voiced the correct idea
when he suggested that the state pay a
bounty for their hides.

FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
Organization of Local Merchants Becomes
Part Of State Association.

The Alma Business Mems Association
held special meeting Monday evening
at the city hall to listen to remarks by
j. T. Percival, of Port Huron, secretary
of the Grocers and General Merchants
Association of Michigan. The object of
Mr.. Percival's visit to Alma was to
interest the local organization in the
state association work and so clearly
did he present the subject, that by
unanimous vote of all members present
the local association became a part of
the state organization. Among the
objects of the state association are the
encouragement of harmony and joint
action between retail merchants as well
as TO disseminate trade information,
encourage improvements in business
methods, and generally advance the
interest of the retail merchants. Mr..
Percival impressed upon those present
the necessity of providing themselves
with a state trade paper, and through
that medium, as well as others provided
by the state organization, keep in touch
with the various local associations
throughout the state.

with Miss Annette McLaren promoted
10 the responsible position Of principal
The completion of this building will
relieve the badly crowded condition
which has existed at the high school,
and place an average of thirty y-seven
pupils in each room of both buildings.
The-structure was designed by Clark
and Munger, of Bay City, and while it
is not a strikingly imposing hooking
building from the outside, nothing has
been left undone within for the comfort
and convenience of teachers and pupils.
1t is built of Detroit red brick with sand
stone trimmings, and is 62xS9 feet ON
the ground, and 60 feet from basement
TO belfry. with an Asphalt Mastic roof.
Each one of the eight rooms is 24E32
feet in size and twelve feet high, having
five large windows, making them very
light and airy. East and west entrances
TO the building open into good sine
vestibules with wide stairs leading to
the main floor. The interior finnish is
golden oak with bronze trimmings, and
the sidewalks and ceilings are tinted with
harmonizing oolors which are restful to
the eye.
The arrangement OF both floors is
identical, with room opening off from
each corner of the large hall in the
center of the building. Dividing the
rooms are smaller halls, which are used
as wardrobes and which lead to lava
tories in either end OF the building.
The heating and ventilating system is
especially good, being the fan system
installed by J. J. Howden Co., OF Mus
kegon. The heat in each room can he
regulated TO nicely by setting the
thermometer TO desired temperature,
and a change of one degree will so effect
the sensitive instrument that cold or
warm air will be let in in sufficient
quantities to correct it. The rooms are
all ventilated from the floor, and the
warm air is admitted through registers
seven feet from the floor.

new TRAIN MARCH FIRST.
Good News For People on the Ann Arbcr
Railroad.

A recent issue of st. Johns paper
contained the following item of interest:
"For long time there has been a
demand for more trains on the Ann
Arbor railroad, and especially for a
morning train north. The need has
been felt especially by the people OF
Elsie, Bannister and Ashley, as well as
everybody who does business in those
places. What the public failed to
accomplish, however, has been attained
by the travelling men, and the longed
for train now seems a certainty.
Some weeks ago w. S. Lamb, who
travels for the Toledo Biscuit Company,
secured the signatures OF about 800
travelling statesmen to petition request
ing that such train be put on. General
Passenger Agent Kirby informed him
last week that the petition had been
fayorably considered by the officials, and
that the train asked for had been decided
upon, though the date when the new
service will be inaugnrated is put ahead
to March /. The train we understand
is to run from Owosso to Frankfort and
return daily, going north quite early in
the morning and returning late i'll the
evening. The general passenger agent
also stated that six new passenger engines
and a number of new coaches would be
added to the roads equipment next
spring"
