MICHIGAN STATE
FAIR A SUCCESS
BEST STATE EXHIBITION MIcHi-
GAN EVER HELD is SUCCESS
FULLY CONCLUDED.
FINANCIAL GAIN is GOOD AL
THOUGH NOT ALL THAT
WAS EXPECTED.
Association Is Considering Plan to
Hold Future Exhibition in
Covered Buildings.

Saturday night the greatest state
fair that has ever been held in Michi-
gan came to a close in Detroit. Two
days OF rain caused a great hole to
be made in the expected attendance,
yet there was more money made in
the four good days OF this year than
was cleared in the whole eight days
of 1909.
If the rain had not intruded there
would have been enough made to pay
off the last of the debt of $4,000
which was contracted when the fair
was established in Detroit five years
ago. Yet even though the retiring
officers are forced to leave behind a
small balance of the debt which they
hoped to wipe out, they go with laur-
els bestowed by the multitude OF visi-
tors who have come, looked, enjoyed
and gone away filled with the desire
to return and see what Michigan can
do to better new record.
Exhibitors came from all parts OF
the country and united in saying that
they had never showed at a place
where they were given so good atten-
ton or where conditions were better.
Men prominent in fair circles also
spent a part of the past week on the
ground and when they left admitted
to the officials that their visit had
been an education, and they would
profit by what they saw when they
next took a whirl at the wheel of fair
fortune.

In Praise Of GARDENING.

Charles Dudley Warner: There is
probably nothing that has such a
tranquilizing effect, and leads into
such content, as gardening BY gar
dening, ! do not mean that insane de-
sire to- raise vegetables which some
have; but the philosophical occupation
of contact with the earth, and COM
partnership with gently growing things
and patient processes; that exercise
which soothes the spirit and develops
the deltoid muscles. In half an hour
] can hoe myself right away from the
world, as we commonly call it, into a
large place, where there are no OBJ
stacles. What an occupation II is for
thought! The mind broods like hen
on eggs. The trouble is, that you are
not thinking about anything, but are
really negotiating like the plants
around you. ! begin to know what the
Joy of the grapevine is in running up
the trellis, which is similar to that Of
the squirrel in running up the tree.
We all have something in our nature
that requires contact with the earth.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
hfm any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that I had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
TO take the skin of with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. / began to think that
he would never get wen. but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment / began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

PAID HIGHLY FOR BEAUTY
Humorist Tells How He Became
Handsome, and Declares II Was

To be handsome Is not always to be
good. but there is surely no harm In
being handsome if you can become so
without spelling your face. For years
was considered homely. My best
friends admitted II and my enemies
made unkind references to IL. i knew
that there were dermatologists who
were perfectly willing TO give silver
bridges to bridgeless noses, dazzling
brilliance to lack-luster eyes and raw
ishing outlines to hideous profiles, but
j did not care to go to the expense. l
determined to be my own dermatolo-
gist.
/ have drawn an outline OF my pro-
file as II was before / began to work
on my face. IL will be seen that. while
intellectual, II was not handsome. MY
ear was too long and my nose too like
toe, while my brow needed building
up and my chin pushing forward. My
eye, while not beautiful, had charac-
ter, and | decided not to alter that,
but the other features needed manipu-
lation.
! began with my nose. When I went
to bed lay on my back with fiatiron

by day my nose changed its shape un-

sleeping standing up in specially
prepared bed. with heavy weights
hung to my chin. This had a tendency
to bring my chin forward Luckily |

my sleeping In the daytime. To give
myself high brow | made hat like
those used by hatters to ascertain the
size of the head. This / screwed on
my head on retiring, increasing the
pressure each night. also took double
doses of headache powders, as | need

tells me it took a year.

EMBEzzLER Of
$4,000 GOES FREE
DEFAUlTER THOMPSON'S BONDS
MEN RELEASED BY COURT
AT PORT HURON.
sELF-coNFEssED MAccABEE DE-
FAULTER WILL NOT BE PROS
ECUTED FOR HIS CRIME.
Never Brought to Trial Because, As
Is Explained, Prosecution
Never Was Ready.

The final chapter has been written
at Port Huron in the criminal pro-
ceedings instituted against Charles ID.
Thompson, charged with embezzle-
ment OF $1,000 from the supreme
tent, Knights of the Maccabees of
the World with the release of the
bondsmen, Frank j. HAYNES and
Frank j. Haslett, from their $4,000
bond.
Thompsons defalcation from the
Maccabee order stirred Port Huron in
1902, when the news of his shortage
became known. At the time of the
self-confessed ENLIGHTENMENT he was
cashier of the Port Huron Savings
bank, owned a large interest in a
prosperous tug concern and was one
OF the leading citizens of the city.
Since the matter has been in litiga-
ton Thompson has been out west and
no further attempt to prosecute him
will be made.
The petition Of Haynes and Haslett
agreed that Thompson appeared and
held himself ready for trial several
times after his arraignment, but that
the prosecution has never been ready
for trial, and that from the long de-
lay he and his sureties had reason to
believe that the prosecution has been
abandoned.
Thompson was formerly finance
keeper of the supreme tent, and eight
years ago Maccabee circles were
shocked by the announcement that
Charley" Thompson had gone wrong,
and SO had $4,000 of Maccabee funds.
No effort was made nv the Sunreme
tent to cause Thompson's arrest, and
this led to much criticism, not only
in Michigan, but all over the United
States. Prosecuting Attorney Cady
and Sheriff Names set the ball rolling
which resulted in Thompson's arrest
and arraignment
He pleaded guilty and was set free
on bail. Since then the case has been
adjourned over the term many times
and is now finally dismissed.
