CONSUMPT PT|VES
NEED OPEN AIR
portant Information for Benefit of
Victims of Dread Disease.

"Directions for living and sleeping in
the open air, ;" is the title of a pamphlet
being sent out today by the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis to its local repre-
sentatives in all parts of the United
States.
The pamphlet is meant to be a hand
book of Information for any body who de-
sires to sleep out of doors in his own
home. 1t emphasizes the fact that out
door sleeping is as desirable for the we'll
as for the sick. The booklet will be sent
free of charge to anyone applying for it
at the headq quarters of the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis in New York, or to
the secretary of any local or state anti
tuberculosis association.
Some of the subjects of which the
pamphlet treats are, how to take the
open air treatment in a tenement house;
how TO build a small shack or cabin on
fat roof in the city; how to make one
comfortable while sleeping out doors
either in hot or cold weather; how to ar
range porch on country house; how
to build cheap porch; the construction
OF tents and tent houses; the kind Of
beds and bedding to use 10 outdoor Sleep
ing, and various other topics. The book
is well illustrated and attractively pre-
pared
The object of the book is to suggest
particularly to consumptives who cam
rot secure admission to sanitarium how
they can be treated at home under the
direction of a physician. 10 view of the
fact that there are less than $4,000 hos
pital beds in the United States for. coG-
sumptives and fully 100000 who should
be in hospitals, the National Association
urges that more attention be paid to
sleeping in properly provided places at
home and that in every case the best be
made OF the patients environments.

Than Nash's oldest son had a narrow
escape from drowning last Tuesday Mr..
Nash and his two soDs had been drawing
hay. After the days work was couclud-
ed, the boys went down to the river for
swim. The elder son was taken with
cramps and went down. The cries OF
the brother brought the father on the
scene, and he plunged into the water to
save his son. The boy had gone down
for the last time, and when Mr.. Nash
finally reached him, he laid fiat upon
the bottom of the river, each hand
cutching the weeds. He was brought
TO the surface and resuscitated after
several hours of hard work The
rescue was just in time, and it was in
deed a close call for the boy.

all that could be hoped for under the
circumstances.

ARTHUR MILLER
MUCH IMPROVED
Passed Through Early STAGES of "Auto
Fever" Machine Baked When Art
Tried to Climb Tree.

Arthur Miller, who was announced
last week in the columns of The True
Northerner as being in critical con-
ditiou, from bad attack of automobile
fever, is considerably better. The machine
has made Its initial appearance, and the
strain Oh the nerves attending the per-
formance is over.
1t is hard at this time to give a proper
name to the machine, but from the first
appearance it might properly be said to
be compromise between a flying ma
chine and squirrel. The thing worked
alright on the hills, but when Art tried
to climb tree with it, it only went part
way up On coming back to earth, the
thing didn't act just right, and Art lost
control. He yelled "whoa" as loud as
possible but it wouldn't stop and Art fell
out. The machine then started in to
excavate cistern, and Van shut off the
power. All are convalescent.

A M U s f M E N L S

The Kalamazoo Gazette says of elena
Rivers which comes TO the opera house
Oct. 7th. Ono of the most popular
priced attractions of the season held the
boards at the Fuller theatre for two
performances yesterday, when Beulah
Poynters' splendid dramatization of
Mary j. Holmes novel "Lena Rivers
was presented. For genuine heart in
terest it is hard TO surpass this beauti-
full story of old Kentucky, "Pure as the
Lillies." "Sweet as the Honeysuckle. u
The play is beautifully mounted with
special scenery and the costuming is
far above the average, the ladies espe-
cially wearing some beautiful gowns.
The fact that the production packed
the Fuller theatre for two performances
gives ample tribute to the play and
needs no further commentator.

1t Will Be Held in DetrOit---In-
dications Point to a Har-
moniOus Gathering
ONLY ONE CONTEST
That for Attorney Generalization
Coming Soon-Primary Candi-
dates All United on Osborn

On October 6 the republican stat,
convention will be held i'm Detroit anc
every indication points toward a har
monious convention. 1t is anticipated
that but one fight will develop and thai
will be on attorney general and will bt
mainly between Franz Kuhn and Grant
Fellows, with the former safely in the
lead at the present time, who already
has the Wayne and Kent delegations
of over 300, TO say nothing of many
smaller delegations.
All the other state officers, including
Auditor General o. b. Fuller, Secretary
of State Frederick &. Martindale, Com.
missioner of the State Land Office
Huntley Russell and State Treasurer
Albert +. Sleeper will be nominated
without opposition.
There has been considerable talk that
fight would be made on o. b. Fuller
us auditor general but this rumor has
no verification and in the face of what
Mr.. Fuller has done for the state in the
two years that he has been in office
does not look consistent in face of the
fact that he is also the logical candidate
for another term.
VIM. Alden Smith will be temporary
chairman of the convention and will
make the "keynote speech"
With the November election less
than six weeks distant, the republi-
cans of Michigan are preparing To pre-
sent strong front on election day and
indications are that the entire ticket
will be elected with large majorities
from the head of the ticket down.
After the primaries the various lead
ers of the several gubernatorial candi.
dates have united which will give the
nominee, Chase Osborn, a solid vote
throughout the length and breadth OF
the state. It's up to all republicans to
turn out on election day and see that
their choice is given big majority, fol
this year the vote will not be swelled
by presidential election.
The big majority with which Mr.
Osborn was chosen as gubernatoria
nominee should be given TO him or
election day by four or five times al
great and its up TO the republicans o
this state TO unite in the cause of repub
licanism and republican principles.
