Two weeks ago while here look
ing over the Masonic Home, some of
the Grand Lodge officers suggested
to a few of the business men that the
day decided upon for dedicating the
Masonic Home be observed by the
people of Alma as a holiday The
idea is a good one, a number of peo-
pie having already shown consider
oble interest in the project The es-
adjustment of the Masonic Home
in Alma means much for the city
and Gratiot county The day will
be fittingly observed at the home and
the least one can do to show his ap-
probation of the home would be to
join hands with the Masons, push the
plans, close business houses during
the hours of dedication, attend the
exercises and make the day a big

WANTS IN 0RPHANAGE
Or. Hume Of OWOSSO is Quoted as
Wanting Ofphanage

A special dispatch to the Grand
Rapids Evening News of September
20 said: Or. A. NJ Hume of Owosso,
past grand master OF Michigan grand
lodge, +. & A. NJ, and a member of
the board in control of the Michigan
Masonic home states that the three
grand lodge representatives on the
board are favorable to the establish
ment, in connectio with the new
home at Alma, an orphanage for the
children of deceased Masons and
members of the order of the Eastern
Star.
There are but 81 to be moved from
Grand Rapids TO the new Masonic
home. The building will easily ac-
commodate 200. There is some oppo-
sition to the orphanage project and
the decision now seems to rest with
the Order of the Eastern Star, two of
whose representatives are members
of the Masonic home board of con-
troll. Therefore, it is expected the
question will be practically decided
at the meeting of the grand chapter
O. E. s., in Jackson, next month
Postmaster Hume expresses the be-
lief that if the orphanage is founded,
the o. E. S. will take so much interest
in this department that it will event
ually desire to maintain and manage
it."

Mayor Shank discovered that the
commission men of indianapolis had
combined to corner food products
initiate prices. He found that Indiana
farmers were not permitted to sell
direct to retail stores and thus bring
the prices to the level of supply and
demand.
Stores that bought direct paid dear
" for their rebellion They couldn't
get other supplies from the usual
sources. There was a practical black
list.

and other supplies are held at extor-

peryness of the ball made passing
difficult. At times both teams
loosened up and tried the open game,
but with disastrous results. The first
quarter was about even as far as
playing went, although the college
managed to slide one touchdown
over. As the game progressed the
last two quarters were fatal for the
Reserves, the locals playing rings
around them. Several long runs
were made, Marks getting away for
a 6O-yard dash for a touchdown
Altogether sixteen men were used
and every man played splendid foot
ball many of the old men showing

Rexall Orderlies have a positive
regular effect upon the bowels and
tend to provide permanent relief from
Constipation and the myriad of as
sociate ailments. Besides, they help
to overcome the necessity of the con-
slant use of laxatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition.
We honestly believe there is no
similar medicine so good as Rexall
Orderlies, especially for children, aged
or delicate people. They are prepared
in convenient tablet form in three
sizes of packages. Prices, 10c., Csc,

Shank will add to that the actual cost

Commission men are fighting mad.
They threaten a reprisal by flooding
the market with potatoes, cutting the
price under Shank's figures and so
putting him in hole. 1t looks like a
merry war, but Shank is willing to
lose money if he can fix it so that
everybody in indianapolis stocks up
