Mr. Yost also took occasion to deny
the report that Michigan. for years
famous for its mass formations i'm

have forced the open style Of play in
football
Il think the new rules and the
open formation are the best things
that ever happened in football" said
Yost Why. I wouldn't go back to the
old mass play if I could The game is
far prettier cleaner. and better with
the new rules. The ten-yard rule the
forward pass. and the on-side kick
rules have revolutiOnized the game.
and all for the better Michigan viii

Il wasn't a real team-merely make

ing hard to get the players ready. so
that no failures in exams will cripple

Clean Up.

At this time of year the question OF
cleanliness is uppermost. With the
coming OF the heat OF summer, when
doors and windows are open and peo-
pie are in the open air much of the
time, attention should be given to put
ting the premises in neat, healthy
condition, not only so that a pleasant
er prospect may be placed before the
eye but in order that health may be
spared. The condition of the prem
ises is pretty clear indication of the
character of the people who live upon
them. When you see yards neat and
clean, with flower beds here and there,
you come to the conclusion that there's
some refinement in the family. On the
contrary, when the yards reek with filth
and the surroundings of the house are
in an untidy condition, you are apt to
form an untavorable opinion of the
tenants. Who can estimate the good
effect which the pleasant environment
would have upon the growing children,
whose natures unconsciously absorb
the things which they come in contact
with day after day2

Great Injustice To Merchants.

If one can conceive of more an.
noying and provoking outrage perpe-
trated upon our merchants than the
losses they sustain through the petty
thievlng of their goods while in trans
portation by the railroads, the mer
chants would perhaps like to hear OF it,
and they would then turn their minds
in that direction. But Just now in the
unpacking of their goods, nearly every
thing that is opened shows the hand o
stealth, even il there is no breakage
Tubs of butter, boxed canned fruit:
and vegetables, pickles, cheese, cake.
and other goods do not escape. Who
the perpetrators are that commit The
robbery is not known, and although
railroads are said to make amends io
the losses, merchants are 10th to pro
coed to collect damages because OF tht
red-tape methods required. The los
that the merchants sustain through
this thieving, runs up considerable II
the course OF year, and if it is within
the power of the railroads to seek GU
and punish these robbers, they shout,
do so in Justice to their patrons.
