MINNICK CASE AGAIN.
City Council ACts-New Complaint Drawn up
by City Attorney KresS

City Attorney j. G. Kress went before
the city council at the regular meeting
last week and asked for instructions re-
garding further action in the Minnick
milk license case. He informed the
council that i'll view OF the disagreements
over the case by two different juries he
did not feel like going ahead without
first submitting the case as it now stands
to the couAcil. lie then presented a
statement showing the cost to date and
asked for an opinion from the council.
The latter at once had drawn up and
then passed by a unanimous vote, reso-
luton instructing the city attorney and
city officers to see that the milk ordin-
ance is strictly enforced and to carry any
case to the court of last resort if neces-
sary
While it is believed that the ordinance
is valid as it now stands, yet if any de-
feet is found by court of last resort, the
ordinance will be amended as il is the
intention of the council that in the sale
of milk in the city of Alma the health of
its citizens shall be protected as far as it
ispossible to do so.
Acting on these instructions City At
torney kress dropped the case of the city
VS. Ida Minnick that was up for trial last
Friday. and Immediately following the
dismissal, new complaint was filed al
leging that the respondent was, on the
10th day of September and upon divers
other days, engaged in the business OF
selling milk without first having obtain
ed license to do so. This complaint
covers the question raised by the defense
in the other trials that the former COM
plant did not allege she was engaged in
the "business" Of selling milk without
first having obtained license. The new
trial, il held, will take place Friday, Oc-

GlOyd White, an Alma Baker, Gives
Valuable Recommendation
ON BAKERS SPECIAL FLOUR
Alma Grain d Lumber COmpany'S New Flour
a Sure winner.

In conversation about bread and the
different kinds Of -four that are used in
making it the other day, the discus sion
grew quite interesting, several holding
that this or that flour was the best bread
flour. A canvass of opinions however,
revealed the fact that all any Of us knew
about -four was what we had read
At tins time Gloyd White, the baker,
happened to pass and it was suggested
we call him in and get his opinion. In
answer TO our questions he replied, ''Well
l bake, or my baker bakes, over 1000
loaves of bread each week and we are
going TO practically double our output in
a few weeks For a long time l expert
mented with one -four and another with
out meeting the success l wished for.
Then one day tried the Bakers Special
Wheat -four, a new -four that the Alma
Grain and Lumber company is putting
on the market. Since then have used
nothing else"
"As a bread flour for making bread it
is the most satisfactory flour there is on
the market and have tried nearly every
flour that is sold. 1t makes an excellent
loaf of bread.
Asked as to the number of loaves of
bread barrel of Bakers Special would
produce, Mr.. Whites baker said 200
loaves OF one pound and two ounces each.
Whites bread more than bears out his
statement. Any one i'll doubt can salts
fy themselves by going there and getting
a loaf of bread. The Alma Grain and
Lumber company has conducted a num-
Der of experiments with this new -four
but none have been more satisfactory
than Whites own experience. Get
loaf OF his bread and see for yourself.

The hearing on the telephone case be-

A TUBERCULOSIS TALK
Given by DR.. |. N. Brainerd at the N.
[. Church.
THE FIRST OF A SERIES .
Ant.TuberCuIar Society Leads Off In Fight
Against the White Plague.

Last Friday night a small but very
appreciative audience gathered at the
NJ Il. church to hear DR.. l. n. Brainerd
deliver a lecture on "The History and
Etiology of tuberculosis. This lecture
is the first of series to be delivered by
Drs. l. n. Brainerd and j. n Day before
the Anti-tubercular society If Alma.
The lectures are given under the aus
pices Of the Ladies Civic Improvement
league
DR.. Brainerd first took up the early
history of tuberculosis, or consumption
as it is frequently called, starting from
the first evidences Of it which appear in
the ancient records of Babylonian times
down to the present date. These records
show beyond a shadow of doubt that
this disease existed at that time. The
records, however, down to as recent
date as 1865 are very incomplete. Com
ing down to 1881 he brought up DR..
Kock's discovery Of the tubercular
bacilli which discovery has established
beyond doubt the fact that tuberculosis
is caused by germ. Then taking up
the etiology or cause of tuberculosis, he
showed that it can only be caused by
this germ, which, like a stray bullet
may strike down a person when least
expected. The majority of tuberculosis
cases originate at time when the vic
tim is in weakened condition and with.
out the usual resources of the body to
throw off the tubercular germ, once it
attacks person.
DR.. Day and DR.. McClinton both took
part in the discussion of the lecture,
each naming instances in which the
cause of tuberculosis was known. AL
together it was a most interesting meet
ing and the movement is one deserving
of much better public support.

LOSE FIRST GAME.
Alma High Goes Down Before Heavy
OWOSSO Team.
.PLuCKY FIGHT AGAINST ODDS
Visitors Play a Strong Game and Roll Up a
Big Score.

The high school foot ball seoson opened
here Saturday with a game between
Owosso and Alma high. Owosso won
% to o. The game was in many ways
closer than the score would indicate.
Owosso had a big advantage in weight
and team work and deserves credit for
getting away with several we'll selected,
excellently executed plays. Alma, on
the other hand, played very poor game
as team but the players individually
did well, several of them starring in
their individual work. Their fumbling
was their most costly error. In the open
ing minutes Alma, after a spectacular
run of 80 yards by Wood, had the ball
on Owosso's two yard line. A most de-
plorable tumble cost them not 6nly the
touch down but the game. For II is
certain that enthused by touch down,
the boys would have played much bet
ter game and probably would have won.
1t is just as well to face the situation
frankly. The boys have the material
for an excellent team. Owosso would
have had nothing on Alma if Alma had
possessed the team work. And it will
take lots of practice-hard, determined
practice to mold good team for Alma,
but it can be done and we know it will
be done because the fellows have it in
them.
Owosso scored three times i'll the first
half and kicked one goal. About the
only weak point in the Owosso line was
the left tackle and guard. Alma got
away with several we'll executed forward
passes but had the hard luck to often
lose all these gains in fumbling the ball.
In the second half Alma played better,
hitting Owosso's line for big gains.
Owosso. however, whenever threatened,
punted and kept the ball out of danger.
On the other hand, they were able to
score twice, kicking both goals.
Both teams were penalized for holding
but otherwise the game was a very clean
one. Kress, Wood, Bshlke and Nelson
starred for Alma though every one of
the boys played hard game.

Met Bad Injury.

Clark Brown, of Shepherd, base ball
pitcher who is well known here, having
pitched several games for and against
Alma teams, had the misfortune to meet
with an unpleasant accident Saturday
at Forest Hill. He was engaged by the
Forest Hill Cubs to pitch against North
Star in game to be played there. Just
before the game opened Brown, who
was practicing with the other PLAYERS,
ran after a high fly. Just as he
reached it, he tripped and fell against a
barb wire fence. His upper lip was al
most torn from his face by the barbs.
The injury, besides being very painful
is doubly regretable, as it will probably
leave an ugly scar on his face.
