to be a millionaire to be a gentleman.
Let there be found i'll every farm home

REGISTERED NURSES.

A bill for the state registration of
nurses will be presented to the state
legislature this winter
The bill provides for both trained and
unframed nurses and is not designed to
interfere with the nursing of the sick
by any persons. providing that they do
not assume to be registered nurses. nor
does it require any appropriation of
state funds for its oreration.
To quote DR.. Beverly ID, Harrison,

passage by the legislature of proper
act for the registration of nurses would
not only be "A just and equitable recog-

icine, but it would result in most ma

ACCORDING to Detroit paper, Cover

ACCORDING to Detroit paper, Cover
nor Warner believes that the election
of United States senator is of vastly
more importance than the mere eleva-
ton of some individual to that position,
realizing that it will have most i'm
portant bearing upon future problems
that will have to be met. Assuming
that the position of the governor is cor
rectly stated, it may be said that Cover
nor Warner is right in his estimate OF
the important bearing the choice OF SEN
ator will have upon future problems. The
senate Of the United States will have a
number of very important questions to
pass upon during the next few years.
and it is vital 70 the interest of the PEG
pie of Michigan who should possess the
best of qualifications in the matter OF
thorough knowledge of the needs and
affairs of the state broad experience and

THE increase of more than twenty
three million dollars in the savings de-

conditions which the state as a whole is

foundation for plans and hopes for the

perity of Michigan is in little danger of
being disturbed as long rs the thrift and
care of its people is eloquently attested
to through largely increased savings

This is a question upon which the Age

the middle of February.
The $500 which the Age-Herald offers

DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Pound Officer Kent Was Arrested On
Charge of Being Intoxicated.

George j. Kent. employed at the city
pound, was arrested last night by Off
GERS Larue and Gates on charge of
aggravated disorderly conduct. Being an
officer he was allowed to carry weapon.
and no charge on that account was dock
eted against him. His pistol was re-
moved, however and is now in the pos
session of the city warden.
The arresting officers will testify at the
trial this morning in the police court that
Mr. Kent was disorderly on their beat,
and that he was intoxicated. At the
warden's office Mr.. Kent appeared iudig-
nant that he should have been arrested,
and carried to the station in patrol
wagon.
1t has seldom occurred that a person
in the employ of the city has been lodged
in the city Jail on charge of disorderly
conduct.
