CURRENT PALAYER
OF THE POLITICIANS

Talk OF a mayoral nominee and full
city ticket for the Prohibition party
In Detroit has stirred up the political
wise men. Let IL not be thought that
this suggestion las been taken light
lily. II came up for discussion few
days ago in the city hall when several
aldermen who have been foremost In
the saloon restriction movement were
present
For the sake OF making showing
OF strength and accomplishing moth
ing. the excitable leaders OF the Pro
hibition party locally are willing to
attack the men who have done all that
has been done In opposition to the sa-
looms" said one Republican alderman.
who ever heard OF the local Demo
cracy doing anything for the cause of
Prohibition?
This Republican council has cut
down the portion OF the city in which
saloons may be established materially.
This has been done without any rec
commentator from the city's execu-
tive.
Now a Prohibition ticket would not
take any votes from the Democratic
ticket. 1t would. therefore, have to
draw from the Republican side, and In
close election the Prohibitionists
might have the opportunity to beat
the party which has done something
toward liquor regulation"
1T is a sitaution that calls for
thought" said County Auditor Milton
Oakman, "but one cannot get people
who are fanatical to think / have tried
to show the Prohibition leaders that
they would hurt their own cause by
putting up ticket this year. but they
will not listen to reason
The resignation OF William Haarer
as deputy engineer of the county
building, has caused lot of talk In
political circles. Haarer has been
deputy engineer for long time, and
1t is said, that he was approached
some time ago as to whether he would
like to become chief engineer. he re-
piled that he was satisfied To work I'M
der Charles Merry, but that II the
latter were slated to go. he would ac-
cept the place. Edward Winkler was
chosen as chief engineer, and Haarer
sent In his resignation promptly, say
ing that he could not work with Wink
Ter. AS VIII Haarer Is brother of
Jacob Haarer, ID. p. w. commissioners,
and the latter has always been a sup
porter OF Charles A. Buhrer, the new
county auditor. there Is talk or
double-cross somewhere.
81 believe In civil service, after my
experience here as county auditor,
said Milton Oakman, just after the an
nual shake.up of county building en-
pioyes. 1T may be said that can ar
ford to be for It now that my friends
are placed. but that Is not the case.
at would seem that more secure
tenure of Office would result in better
service here and less political franz
ing-up. No official ever makes any
thing by his appointments. for there
are a dozen sore to one who Is pleased
by an appointment"

MARS HASN'T KIND
OF LIFE EARTH KNOWS

'If there is life on Mars or on any
other of the planets. 1t is certainly not
the kind of life we know on tho
earth
In this sentence Prof, Forrest Ray
Moulton. speaking in the Church or
Our Father. summed up his opinion
OF the problem of. Mars. He discussed
at length the theories of life on that
plant, based upon the photographs of
canals. and stated 1t as his opinion
that there is as much data, scientific
ally, one way as the other In regard
to the question of the canals being
of artificial origin.
1t Is his belief that If Mars is in
habited by any race of beings, how
ever, they must be of much more
advanced state of civilization, owing
to the different conditions OF the plan
ct, particularly with regard to the
smaller atmosphere and scarcity OF
water.

The muscles OF the body can be
developed by exercise until their
strength has increased manifold, and a
proper amount of training each day
will accomplish this result, but II Is
somewhat doubtful whether you can
increase the digestive powers OF the
stomach by eating indigestible food In
order to force IL TO work.
Nature has furnished us all with 4
perfect set of organs. and II they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required OF them. They need
no abnormal strength.
. There is a limit 10 the weight a
man can lift. and there Is also a limit
to what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia. indigestion
and many AFFILIATED diseases Is that
the stomach has been exercised too
much and IL is tired and worn out.
Not exercise but rest is what IL needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve IL from its work for
a short time-something to digest the
food-will give 1t a rest and allow II
time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

The Tablets increase the flow of

be thin--~born that way" some say,
but there is healthy standard by which
q person who kn0ws himself can guage
his good health or poor health. II for
any reason he or she is below his or her
normal weight, then it Is wise to look
out for trouble. In case the germs of
grippe, typhoid, or consumption gain an
entrance to the body they find fertile
field and develop Immediately. We can
only compare this sudden taking on of
disease germs by the thin body, to the
fertile field which lays fallow until an
unfortunate wind carries the seeds of
some wild and worthless plant there and
they quickly root and flourish. Almost
any grave change in health is at once
betrayed by the loss OF flesh, which
shows most often in the face. This con-
dition almost always co-exists with i'm
poverished blood. A gain of flesh up
to certain point means rise in other
essentials of health; the red corpuscles
of the blood are increased, and the color
improved. When persons find them
selves losing weight they should heed
the warning, and use the proper means
in time before disease fastens on them.
A tonic Alternative is needed to digest
and assimilate the food.
