New Liquor Bill Is Brought In.

Representative ID. G. Warner OF
Frankfort introduced a new liquor bill
Incorporating the good features of the
late Ormsbee bill, but amending the
existing liquor law rather than enact
ing a new measure for the statute
books.
The Warner bill provides for a
limit Of the number of saloons to
one for each 500 population. and pro-
vides also that no greater number of
licenses shall be issued than were in
effect April of this year. The mani
fest purpose of this limitation is to
check the great number OF persons
who would otherwise flock to get new
licenses before the new law takes eff
feet. III the present number is in ex-
cess OF the limit of one to 500, Repre-
sentative Warmers bill provides for
the reducing of the number of licenses
issued each year by not to exceed ten
per cent. of the excess per annum
This is an arbitrary provision, but
there is no provision for local boards
and councils to make the limit one to
1000 population If they deem ii wise.

Whatever opinionated critics may
have to say as to the decadence of the
drama and degeneracy of the pop
ular taste, the theater-goer in this
country appreciates and will patronize
plays which have some message for
the reason and the intellect as well as
for the senses. He will support with
his attendance sane and wholesome
productions destitute of exotic and
erotic features. The appeal of play
like THE Old Homestead" is elemen-
tai; it touches lost chords and forgot
ten springs of memory, not merely in
the unsophisticated country dweller
but in the worldly wise man."

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through food experience which he
makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and | also know, from having pre-
scribed il to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is q won
derful builder and restorer OF nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
IL was in such low state that |
had to give up my work entirely, and
went TO the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact | was not quite as well as
when | left home.
MY food did not sustain me and
It became plain that l must change.
Then | began TO use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks l could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time | have felt as well and strong as
ever did in my life.
las physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, / consider It duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.

book, THE Road to Wellville."

Action on Wheat Corner.

Letters from all other Mich
igan cities have been received in
this city within the past few days,
asking whether there is any probable
ity of the legislature taking action of
some sort against the possible evil
effects which may materialize as a re.
suit of the corner in wheat, alleged to
be maintained by Patten, so-called Chi
cago Wheat King.
Perhaps the only action possible by
the solons is the passing of resolu-
ton asking congress to investigate
wheat deals and other grain specula-
tons with a view to making II inn
possible for a clique of men to gain
control of the situation to the detri-
ment of the country at large.
In some of the letters attention was
called to the recent action of the
Wisconsin legislature when the solons
of that state at Madison unanimously
concurred in a resolution presented
by Assemblyman George L. Scout IN
which national legislation was re-
quested for an investigation not only
i'm wheat, but in stocks upon the great
exchanges of the country.

Home Rule Bill Up.

With the exception of one trouble
some feature of the home rule ques-
ton the senate committee on city
corporations prepared and reported
out completed bill which was taken
up for consideration in the senate.
Many plans have been considered
in an effort to provide for giving
cities such representation on the
county boards as would be satisfactory
to the urban and suburban parts of
counties, but no one of them has
proven satisfactory, because the town
ship representatives have not been
willing to concede the cities any law
which would increase the representa-
ton of the municipalities to a point
where they would be on an equal
basis with the country districts.
The bill provides for a charter com
mission of nine members, elected at
large. Provision is made in the bill
requiring the election of a mayor and
clerk and legislative body consisting
either of a commission or council,
whichever the people desire.

Unanimous on Military Bill.


The Stewart military bill passed
the house by an unanimous vote, with
an amendment added to give to the
Detroit companies $1,000 a year for
armory rental. So far as is known
there is no objection to the bill in
the senate, and it is expected that Ii
will pass there promptly.
In general the bill is a revision of
the present military law, making no
extensive changes in the present or
ganization of the state troops. An
other important change is one
that makes the summary court
established to try members Of the
guard for minor offenses, an efficient
organization with power to compel the
attendance of the accused and wit
nesses.
The appropriation per company FOR
aiding in erecting armories has been
increased from $4,000 to $4,000, but
two companies year, instead of four,
may be provided with the funds.

OWLS IN GRAND MIxUP
Fraternal Order of Owls and Order OF
Owls Get Badly Mixed

There is a decidedly unusual mix
up in connection with the Owls in Ke-
nosha and G. E. Campbell, who has
been the organizer in charge of the
Kenosha lodge of the order, objects
strenuously to any statement that the
order is connected with the Wisconsin
order which recently changed its name
from 'HFhe F'raternal Order of Owls"
to the Fraternal Order of Rangers. -
1t is stated that the Kenosha Lodge
is affiliated with the 'FOrder Of Owls
which has its headquarters at South
Bend and that it has no connection
with the Racine, Oshkosh and Milwau-
kee chapters which recently held a
grand lodge meeting in Racine. The
members in Kenosha are not exactly
sure just what they belong to. The
first bunch Of candidates was initiated
into the Fraternal Order of Owls with
the men who recently formed the Fra
ternal Order of Rangers acting as the
institutiEg officials. Since that time
the slate has been changed and the
second bunch of charte. members taken
into the Kenosha organization were
taken in by the ritual of the South
Bend organization.
Mr.. Campbell states that all of them
belong to the South Bend organization
but at least few Of the members have
never been initiated but once and at
that rime they gave their allegiance to
the Wisconsin organization. Time will
probably unravel the tangle, but in the
meantime the members are in a state
of uncertainty.

You needn't be afraid.

and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled
If you took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches a single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
This wonderful food is sold in three
kinds of packages. The regular package
at 10c. The large size family package
at Csc, and the large size family package
containing a fine piece of table china
at SOC.

STRIKE MOST CERTAIN
Great Lakes seamen Resent Carriers
Tactics on Open Shop Principle

Preparations for fight to a
finish z with the Lake Carriers Asso-
citation are being made quietly by the
officers Of the Lake Seamen IS Union in
Chicago and by the agents in all ports
on the great lakes. Seamen are GER
tain that the greatest strike of sailors.
cooks, and marine fremen in the his
tory of great lakes navigation will be-
come fact within a few days unless
the Lake Carriers Association changes
it's attitude toward union seamen.
Thomas A. Hanson, treasurer of the
Lake Seamen S Union, declared that
the situation virtually amounted to a
lockout by the association. He said
$4,000 seamen were only awaiting the
outcome of the negotiations in pro-
gress at Buffalo between the Lake Dis
trict grievance committee and the as
ISOLATION before deciding upon the next
move.
A general meeting of seamen repre-
senting all lake ports will be held in
one of the larger ports, either Buffalo,
Cleveland, or Chicago, before a strike
is ordered.
President William Livingstone of
the association has announced in re-
ply to the .ultimatum of Victor A.
.Olander, secretary Of the Union de-
.manding a conference for the adjust
ment Of the dispute, that the asso-
citation will neither grant the demand
nor recognize the union.
We are only waiting for an overt
act before we strike back, " said
Treasurer Hanson Of Chicago.
1t win be fight to finish. The
seamen are determined to maintain
their rights as American citizens of
belonging to any organization they
please. The so-called welfare sys-
tenn which the association is attempt
ing to introduce on the association
boats is one Of the greatest forms of
the blacklist ever devised. y
The attitude of the lake carriers
seems to be that now is the best time
to force the open shop principle. The
employees, on the other hand, are
clever enough to see that a strike, de-
clared before it would embarrass the
carriers, would fail, there being no
disposition to start boats at this time
President Livingstone said in Cleve-
land that it would not surprise him
if the unions joined in general
strike at any time within few days
About 400 men already have been
called out.
