Smith, of South Carolina. today and 1t was said he also would consult with Senator Tillman regarding South Caro- lima offices. MT.

special message 10 the legislature
recommending the abolition of The
contract labor system in all of Michi-
gan's penal institutions. AS fast as

expire the governor recommended that
the binder twine plant now in opera
ton at Jackson penitentiary be ex-
tended and that the manufacture Of
grain bags be taken up as another
prison industry, together with other
lines of manufacture which will com
pete as little as possible with the
products of free labor.
The governor points out that, under
the contract system. the penal insti.
tutions of the state have proved a big
item of expense TO the state while the
private contractors who buy the prison
labor for an average price of so cents
per day and in addition are furnished
with buildings, heat and light are
making a big profit. He includes fig
ures showing that the cost of main
tanning the three prisons OF the state

Senator Ming of Cheboygan intro
duced in the state legislature a bill re-
pealing all the local fish laws and pro.
yiding radical changes in the regula-
tons governing the business of fish
ing in Michigan waters. The Ming
bill would prohibit net fishing in the
connecting waters between lakes Su-
perior. Huron and Erie and within half
a mile of the mouth of any river or of
the outlet of an inland lake. The find
ing of illegal-sized fish in any con-
signment would entail the confiscation
of the entire consignment, whereas at
present only the understood fish are
confiscable Licenses to catch white
fish and trout in the spawning season
would be granted on condition that
the fishermen deliver the spawn, prop
erly impregnated, TO the state fish
wardens, such spawn is not required
by the United States fish authorities
to be planted under the direction of
the state warden on the spawning
beds from which the fish were taken.
Fishermen would be required to make
monthly reports of the number of
pounds of fish caught.

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough TO recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after 1t has
been on awhile-after itc inherent
tendency,to crack and peel and scale
and blister, ETC.. has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure of the purity and quality
OF materials, would prevent all trou-
BILE, and save the big extra expense of
re-painting; just as proper knowl-
edge of simple health-laws, and OBJ
servance of them, prevents sickness.

ing a book of color schemes, specifl-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
