IT has been claimed many
times, and the claim has never
been successfully. refuted, that
prohibition has never hurt the
legitimate business enterprises
OF any community, but that on
the other hand prohibition pro-
notes the general prosperity
wherever it has been given a fair
trial. Those who have investi
gated matters carefully Seem to
agree that where saloons are
voted out all conditions show
Improvement. Liquor being
more difficult to get, less OF it is
consumed, Those who do not
care much for it do without,
while the constant temptation
that the saloon holds out to
boys and young meni, removed.
As a consequence the spending
money OF a great many people
j. directed into other channels,
for he buying Of the necessarits
of life, more luxurias for tie
home, and for increasing bank
deposits. Furthermore the
subtle, baneful influence on poll
tics welded by the liquor inter-
ests through the saloon, by
which many crafty politician
has furthered the fortunes OF
men and interests that were
detrimental to the people, ia
taken away, and reason and
common sense given a better
opportunity to prevail against
dictates OF passion, prejudice
and ignorance in dealing with
the great political and economic
problems constantly pressing
for settlement. The corrupt
government OF. many Of the
largest cities is maintained by
the patronage controlled
through the saloons and the
same conditions are found to
some extent in the smaller COM
munities where saloons are
allowed II the governments of
our cities, or even OF our sta ties
md the nation, are Yer to be

thing that, in itself and it's in

The postmasters of Michigan who
met in convention at CharlevoiX last
week resolved unanimously that there
was no demand for one cent postage
but what was wanted was free delivery
for the smaller places, the same as
rural free delivery, and better mail
services.
At Cheboygan, company has been
organized for the purpose of producing
chemicals from Pine stumps. 1t is es
pine stump land in Michigan which
would average ID cords of stumps to
the acre, or 45,O00,O00 cords. 1t is
claimed that by the use of a newly dis.
covered chemical process, each cord
would Yield turpentine and other liq'
uids to the value of $3.50.
County school commissioner and

|, month after they went into Office
and the constitution bars any increase
or decrease of the salary of an officer
When you pull down the town in

you are building up yourself and your

it can legitimately bear. 1t certainly
will do you no harm and will cost you
nothing; and above all patroniZe youl

AN ELUSIVE BONE.
Luz Is Said to BE Indestruetible, but II
Is Hard to Locate.

Luz Is Said to BE Indestruetible, but Il
Is Hard to Locate.
Much scholarship and anatomical
knowledge have been employed from
time TO time in efforts to identify the
bone luz. said by ancient Hebrew
writer's TO be the nucleus from which
the body is reconstructed at the resur-
rection. There are many marvellous
stories of the indestructibility of luz,
and the bone has been located by rival
claimants TO the honor of discovering
it in various parts of the human skele-
ton.
The most careful searching OF the last
published and amplest treatise OH oste-
ology will not result in the discovery
of the bone called luz Ii will be nee
essary TO go 10 the Frankfort edition
OF the "Theatrum AnatOmicum" OF
Caspar Bauhinus QG2D for a descrip.
ton: cit is stated by Hebrew writer's
to be bone which cannot be destroy
ed by fire, water or any other element.
nor be broken or bruised by any force
Its site is in the spine from the eight
eenth vertebra TO the femur
I'VE read that the Emperor Hadrian
once asked Rabbi Joshua. the son
Of Chanm. how God would resurrect
man in the world TO come. He made
answer. From the bone luz in the
spinal column. When Hadrian asked
him how he came by this knowledge
and how he could prove it the Rabbi
Joshua produced the bone SO that the
emperor could see ii. When placed in
water 1t could not be softened; it was
not destroyed by fire, nor could it be
ground by any weight; when placed on
an anvil and struck with a hammer
the anvil was broken in sunder. but
the bone remained intact" Hieronymus
Magius represents that. according to
the Talmudists, the real bone is near
the base of the skull, whether it be in
the base itself or in the spine. Vesalius
writes that this ossicle is described by
the Arabs as resembling a chick pea in
size and shape. and Cornelius Agrippa
describes 1t as 'magnitudine ciceris
mundati" the size Of a shelled peal.
Different anatomists have held 1t
variously to be the sacrum. the coccyX,
the twelfth dorsal vertebra. one of the
WORKMAN bones in the skull and one
