STATE WON'T LOSE
Ex-Treasurer Glaciers Shortage VIII
Be Paid Back

Calamity howlers and others who
laid so much stress on the fact that
Michigan was ''broke" because ex-State
Treasurer Glazier devoted public funds
to his personal use and could not make
good, will soon be shown up in their
true light. The present prospect is that
the state will receive every dollar OF its
funds which were on deposit in Glaciers
Chelsea bank at the time the bank was
forced to close.
With what will be realized from the
bank and bonds furnished by the de-
posit, approximately $6S5,0OO will be
repaid TO the state, according TO state
officers who are in position TO know
the conditions.
The outlook for the state in this mat.
ter is very bright and as a result those
who were claiming that the state would
lose practically every cent which was
on deposit in the bank will have TO ge,
, up another excuse upon which TO wall

COOL OLD LADY CHEATS DEATH

TO her rare presence of mind Mrs.
l.. j. Laberon of Los Angeles, Cal,
aged 70 years, owes her life to-day.
The old lady was crossing a crowded
street when a car bore down upon
her. In the crush of traffic it was
impossible for her to escape. Hun
dreds of festive shoppers gazed, hor-
ror-stricken, expecting to see the
aged woman ground to death be-
meath the wheels. With rare cool
ness and presence of mind, Mrs.
Laberon calmly sat down an instant
before the fender struck her ankles
She was tossed back against the
screen, still sitting upright, and
thus she remained, gazing benignly
about until frightened motorman
brought the car to a standstill. When
Mrs. Laberon was assisted to her feet
it was seen she. was not even bruised

During few days visit to his for
11er home city, Pittsburg. Andrew Car
negie was much in the public eye IND
was quoted on several live questions,
including the graft exposures, The
Rockefeller Foundation, the hereafter
etc. 1t was on Sunday in the famous
music hall founded by himself that he
spoke to a large gathering of citizens
after the free organ recital. He said
that as his days heightened he was
drawn closer to the people with whom
he had been associated there. There
was no time for the continuance of pet
ty jealousies. These should be for
gotten and they should live together as
brothers. He believed in the free Sun
day concert In an interview Carnegie
said he thought that Rockefeller had
acted wisely and referred to his own
oft-quoted remark to the effect that to
die rich is to die disgraced. He had
found that the only class that benefits
from gifts is the class that helps itself
He did not believe much in the So
called philanthropy. The day was com
ing when the State would take the
submerged TENTH" house, clothe and
feed it, but never allow it to marry.
Carnegie seemed to be very sad over
the graft exposures in Pittsburg and
was inclined to think that the council
men had been debauched by the rich
bribers and were not so much to blame
He sharply criticised those citizens who
had hooted and 1eered Mayor Magee
when the latter tried TO speak at pub
lie meeting. Such conduct. he said,
was a blot on the city and would do
the cause of reform more harm than
good

MISCHIEF MAKER.
A surpri.e in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily digested and good for big
and little folks. A Brooklyn man
says:

months old he began to grow thin and

the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming. but. in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, ais mothers

One day sfter he had cried bitterly
for an hour, Z suggested thai my wife

two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This
baby ate so rayenously that she fixed

We have put before him other
foods, but he viii have none of them,

looks to the Canadian West Ger Her
supply.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, dated March 10, 1910, says that
Germany Is anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent ad
justmert of the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible 10 carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than IN the
past, and considerable development Of
trade between the two countries is
now certain. The great men of the
United States are alive to the wheat
situation i'm this country now, and
there is consequently the deepest in
to increase and conserve the wheat
supply With its present CSC. 100000
bushel productions of wheat and all
efforts to increase it almost u,Gavall-
ing, and the rapidly growing consRmp-
tion of its increasing population, there
is certainly the greatest reason for
the anxiety as to where the wheat is
to come from that will feed the IA
ti@n. The United States will be forced
as Germany is TO look to the wheat
fields OF Canada One province alone
raised last year one-esghth as much
as the entire production of the United
States, and but twelfth of the wheat
area has yet been touched The Amer
leans who have gone to Canada, are to-
day reaping the benefit of the demand
for Canadian wheat and they will con-
tinue to join in the benefits thus
reached for great many years. Splen-
did yields are reported from the farms
of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
acre blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from s12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota, says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
1t; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which | had fax of which ! got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in
oats and got 20 bushels per acre, and
500 bushels potatoes on one and three
quarter acres, and can therefore safely
say that had fine crop and am
we'll satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly greater
The story of the experience of Ameri-
can farmers in the Canadian West is
a long cne. The time to go, would
appear to be now, when splendid selec-
lions may be made, and where land
can be purchased at prices that will
be doubled in couple Of years.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube Is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unfess the Inflammation can be taken out
