Or. Williams Pink Pills a Specific
For Anaemia and Safe Family
Medicine.

When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry
or a severe illness, an examination OF
the blood would show it to be weak
and watery. This condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for "bloodless." The common symp-
toms are paleness of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
of appetite.

Lansing.-State armories and pay
for the enlisted men are the two big
features of the military bill which
has been drafted by a commission OF
Michigan National Guard officers and
passed upon by the military board. II
is comprehensive measure, which
conforms the guard as nearly as pos.
sible TO the regular army. and places
1t upon a solid foundation. The
armory provision gives the military
board authority to erect state arm
cries in such cities as they deem nec-
essary or to purchase armories now
in use. For single company armories
the limit or cost is fixed at $4,000;
armories for from two TO four COM
panies, s27,50O per company; regi-
ment armories, $4,000 per company.
This would give Detroit a regimental
armory and Grand Rapids a battalion
armory. The state now pays $500 a
year per company for rental and in
cidental expenses.
To pay for these armories the bill
provides for bond issue running not

cent. interest. The principal and in
terest are to be met and retired by a
tax of one-twentieth of a mill during
the term of the bond issue. 1t is
further provided that maintenance OF
these armories Is to devolve upon the
various counties to which will revert
all revenues in the shape OF rentals.
etc. Pay for enlisted men at drills
is feature that has had marked
effect in other states and members
Of the military board are convinced
that Michigan must do something II
the efficiency of the guard is to be
maintained The section relating to
this provides that for every drill up
to 40 drills year there shall be paid
the following schedule: Privates, 20
cents; corporals. 25 cents; sergeants,
80 cents; first sergeants, 40 cents In
addition there is a system of fines for
uneXclsed absences and all applicants
for admission TO the guard must first
pass a medical examination. There is
also a new schedule of pay for attend
ing camp. At present all enlisted
men receive $1.25 per day ard 70
cents day for rations for camp duty.
This has been changed by reducing
the ration money to 20 cents per day
and adopting the following pay sched-
ule: Privates, s1.25; corporals. $1.35;
sergeants, $1.45; cooks. s1.45; first
sergeants, S1.55; sergeant-majors,
$1.65. No change is made in the pay
OF officers. Another decided change
does away with the election Of officers
entirely. Above the grade of second
lieutenant promotions are to be made
according to seniority. The present
law gives the governor authority u
select the brigadier from officers
above the rank of captain, and this
! is changed so as to provide that he
shall select him from among the col
onels of the brigade. Terms of Off
GERS are to be for life. or during good
behavior. and If the bill Is passed by
the legislature there is provision re-
curing all officers to take new ex-
animation at the expiration of their
present terms.

MAY Submit Question to Voters

May Submit Question to Voters.
Atty. Gen. Bird has advised Gov.
Warner, IL is reported, that his plan
TO establish a binding Irvine plant at
the Jackson prison is not good policy,
in view of the prohibition in the con-
stitution against the teaching of me-
chanlcal trades in the prison. The
supreme court ruled rigidly on that
provision and IL is anticipated that
a judge would declare the making of
binding Irvine just as much of a me
chanical trade as brocm-making,
which was ruled against. There is an
exception that Gov. Warner evidently
relies upon, however, which allows the
teaching of trades in the "manufac-
ture of those. articles of which the
chief supply for home consumption is
imported from othe' states or coun-
tries" While this makes 1t clear that
there is no legal objection at present,
it is declared that at any moment such
a condition might appear that the
prohibition would become operative
and render the plant valueless. This
would result from the establishment
by a private corporation of a factory
In Michigan that would bring the chief
supply for home consumption within
the state. 1t is limited that the binder
Irvine and harvester trust would be
just the one to do such a thing. 1t
hasn't done so in other states, for
Michigan is the only one in the union
having such constitutional provision.
A course of action to meet this OBJ
lection has been suggested, it is
claimed. and this would be for the
Legislature to submit the question of
teaching trades in prison to the voters
at the spring election. The officials
of the attorney generals department
are not willing to be interviewed or

State Reformatory institutions.
The stale of Michigan pays out the
comfortable sum of $229,19S annually
for the salaries of officials and EN-.
ployes of the prisons and reforma.
tories of the state. These include the
three prisons, Detroit house of cor
rection. Industrial School for Boys
and Industrial Home for Girls. The
salary list at Jackson prison is $49,-
SEQ; at the Ionia reformatory, $780,
060; at the branch prison at Mar
quette, S25,690; at the state asylum
in Ionia, $24,147: at the Detroit htAse
of correction, $39,750; at the Indus.
trial School for Boys, $29,570; Indus
trial Home for Girls, s24,131. The ag-
gregate increase in salaries over the
preceding year in all the institutions
was $10,912, and the increase In the
number of salaried officials, four. On
December 81, 1906, there were con-
fined in the five prisons of the state,
including the Detroit house of correc-
ton, 1883 convicts, while in the two
industrial schools there were 1,069 In
mates, making a total of 3,449 per-
sons committed to state institutions
by the courts. This is a slight in
crease over the number reported for
the previous year. The average
monthly cost of clothing and feeding
a convict in the four prisons of the
state is 1897.
