resulted in la grippe. Owing to the
severity Of the disease, and my ex-

Peruna, spoonful every night before

Peruna is an ideal tonic for old
people. 1t is a compound Of herbal
remedies that has been known to the
medical profession Gcr many years.
Peruna operates as 3 tonic by cleans

This is no idle matter to Michigan

Senator J. c. Burrows is turned

This interest fought for removing
the tariff on lumber, on sugar and

the people of Michigan are vitality
concerned.
It is this interest which declared
before the house ways and means
committee in the tariff hearing that
Michigan by reason Of climatic con-

duction of sugar, despite the fact
that it is better adapted in this re-

than is Germany, which on an area
no larger than four large Michigan
counties. produced 100000 long
tons of beet sugar last year.
The 10000 and more Michigan
farmers who are growing sugar
beets and making good money are
asked to consider this matter seri-
ously. BY their votes next summer
they will be asked to vote for a sem

is but one reason why the Scripps

Hon. Perry Powers in the Cadillac
News and Express tells Hon. Henry n.
Campbell of Detroit, a few plain truths
in reply to statements recently made by
the latter. Here is what he says:
There would be real reason for re
greet and humiliation in Michigan if the
statement made recently by Henry NJ.
Campbell, prominent Detroit lawyer
who was member of the recent consti-
tutional convention, possessed any
truth. Mr.. Campbell was talking at a
reunion of the members of the constitu
tional convention and in the course of
his talk said this: 1T is with feelings
of humiliation and shame that we are
compelled to admit that in recent years
the plane of political morality in this
state has fallen to lower levels than at
any time since its organization. The
plane of political morality in Michigan
is probably higher at the present time
than at any time since our state has liv
ed. There are conditions connected
with state affairs which should not ex-
ist; there are persons having to do with
state affairs who are not worthy of the
trusts they possess; this same statement
could probably be made as to every
state in the Union and probably of
every subdivision of the states. But
there is far less that is worthy of criti-
cisin and condemnation in the state of
Michigan than in the city of Detroit
alone. 1t may be true that civic right
eousness and political morality have
made slow progress in Michigan during
recent years, but they have made some
progress There was a time when the
political affairs of our state were abso-
lutely controlled from Detroit That
isnot true now. Michigan legislators
have grown more extrayagant in the
expenditure of public funds, but they
have become more responsive to the de-
mands of public opinion. Political NOR
atty in Michigan is not yet what it
should be, by any means. but it is on a
higher level now than ever before and
undoubtedly on plane above the con
ditions with which Mr.. Henry M.
Campbell in his home city is related to
more directly throughout the entire
yea Mr.. Campbell may have good
reason to deplore tn ings as they are but
he is not justified in his comparative
ulogy of things as they were"

WATER FOR MILLING.

A proposition, backed by men of ex-
tensive capital. to bring water into the
county for milling and domestic pur-
poses, has been under consideration
for some time and arrangements have
been perfected to such an extent that
there is now no likelihood of its falling
through. The scheme is to bring wat
er into Nevadavile and Russell Gulch
and perhaps to go further and supply
water to Central and the lower por-
tion of the county. The water will be
brought from Loeb Lomond, Fall River
Mill Creek and Alice reservoirs, about u
miles from Central. The pipe line will
be Is miles in length and will have a
grade of ten feet per 1000. Diameter
of the pipe will be is inches, giving
it carrying capacity of 10 cubic feet
per second. 1t is estimated that the
outlay necessary to complete the sys-
tenn will be s150.OOO or more. Beside its
use for domestic and milling purposes
the water will be used to generate
electricity for power for the mines. I'm
til arrangements are finally completed
the full intentions Of the parties back of
the proposition will not be made public
but enough work has been done in the
arranging of other details to dis
pei any doubt of the project being car
ried out to a successful elimination.
