THE MYSTERY
IS EXPLODED
THAT HEAD FOUND IN CADMUS
WAS PLACED BY MEDICAL
STUDENT.
MEETS TERRIBLE DEATH
Maj or and Minor Happenings In Var
ious Parts Of the State, Worth Not.
ing, Are Briefly Told.

A statement by DR.. S. A. Bryant, OF
Dowagiac, clears up the mystery sur
rounding the finding of a human head
In the well house on the farm of his
father. the late Samuel Bryant, in
Lenawee county.
DR.. Bryant says that while he was
living with his parents several years
ago and studying medicine. he had
several human heads at the farm
house. He says that the heads came
from medical institute and were
properly treated. The head found in
the we'll house is without doubt one
of those left on the farm by the doc
tor.
The CHASTITY discovery created great
excitement in the vicinity of the Bry-
ant farm. Neighbors who viewed II
were unanimous in declaring that Ii
was the head of Sam" Bryant, the
late owner of the farm, who died
about nine months ago. However. this
theory was exploded by DR.. A. w.
Chase. who made an examination of
the head and found that the veins had
been filled with lead, indicating that
1t had come from some medical insti-
tute. DR.. Bryant explanation COM
pletely clears UP the apparent mys-
terry.

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland institution Plans to Try
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided TO try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances OF the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues OF
members, subscriptions, etc, and pay
all expenses. He will serve as sec
rotary of the standing committees OF
the church and keep n record of their
business for transmission to the Off
cial board. This. it is expected, viii
leave the pastor free to give atten-
ton TO the larger plans OF the work
and TO his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex
tensive charity work and handles o9es
$35, 900 in contributions every year.
Dr. G. X. Morris, district superb
tendent, strongly commends the In
novation. ITO my mind" he says, II
Is the ideal of church government.

Flat DweIIcr's Paradise.

The World of New York calls that
metropolis a fat-dwellers paradise.
This is based on the statement that
handsome six-room apartments can
now be had there for what is called
the modest yearly rental of $1,40O,
while five-room apartments, with
kitchenette, may be had for $1,000 up
ward. An ideal four-room apartment
for bachelor or married couple rents
for $500, or If home is sought further
away from the social center a commo-
dious seven-room apartment can be
found for $1,000. Basing its judgment
on these figures the World reckons
that New York offers superior advan-
tages as a residential city for the clerk
or salaried man with moderate in
come. Viewed from a Boston stand
point, remarks the Boston Herald,
these rentals for modest apartments
look high, comparatively speaking,
though they do not bear out the state
ment that New York is far and away
the most expensive city to live in to
be found anywhere in the world.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing osR
siderable discussion among the medi-
cal fraternity. 1t is an almost infal-
lille cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.
The following formula is effective:
"To one-half pint of good whiskey add
one ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound Is product or the
laboratories Of the Globe PharmaceG-

other ingredients can be had from any

One great difficulty in trade-schools
and industrial training is to maintain
practical relations between class work
and actual industry. In the University
Of Cincinnati students spend alternate
weeks In the schoolroom and the
shops OF neighboring manufactures.
The students are paid a moderate
wage for their shop work. Similar CO.
operation is to be tried in Fitchburg,
Mass, between the high school and
the local metal workers. The advan-
tage Of the plan is twofold. Since the
boys can earn a little while they are
In school, they are less likely TO feel
that their years in the high school are
delaying their entrance into bread

Investiuate Forestrv conditions.

Wesley Bradfeld, first assistant,
United States forestry service, and
A. A. Winnie, an expert in timber
and lumber, both from Washington,
have been in Lansing and procured
data that will enable them TO in
vestigate forestry conditions in Michi-
gan, including the value of state lands
and forest fires. One of the documents
from which they took copious notes
was the report of the special forestry
commission appointed by Gov. War
ner, which report stirred up a sen
sation in connection with the state
land Office when it was published. The
investigators from Washington left
for the upper peninsula. planning to
go over that field before snow flies
