BRAN USEFUL AS CLEANSER
For One Reason II Has Absolutely No
Injurious Effect on the Most
Delicate Colors.

Bran is good for cleaning and stiff
fleming. To make bran water tie a
cupful OF bran in muslin. put this into
two pints OF water in a clean sauce
pan and simmer until the water feels
glutinous. Leave the muslin loose. to
allow the bran TO part with its gluten.
A second and even third water may
be taken OF the bran in the same way.
Bran has no destructive effect on col
ors and seems to act mechanically as
an absorbent and to stiffen the article
slightly.
II is most useful for colored en-

The last night the House chamber
was iilled to the doors with people

was there no standing room in the gal
leries. but the floor of the House was
filled solid back of the seats OF the
members. and people were standing
two deep along the aisles.
II was a most demonstratiye crowd.
but feeling seemed TO be evenly di-
vided. Applause came for every
speaker. but by far the greatest excite
ment came when Senator McCue rose
from his seat after his name had
been suggested by one OF the Adams
senators. and declared that he had but
one choice. and that while Mr.. Speer
was in the race he was not candidate.
When the assembly was called to
order Senator McCue moved that
seven ballots be taken, and that If no
choice was made the assembly ad-
journ. This motion was seconded by
Senator Adams. The seven ballots
was decided upon at a conference Of
representatives OF the two factions.
The balloting began at about $50
and was followed with closest interest
by the crowd.
The first ballot Speer received 81
votes. The Republicans cast all OF
their votes for Roof. giving him a total
of "a. The anu-caucus Democrats

The Republicans cast their "a votes

cast 80 votes for Adams.
The fifth ballot showed no change

AN OLD VETERAN
Mr.. David Ingham of Fenwick Went
Through The War-In-
terestinp History

David Ingham, who resides near
Fenwick, was in the City Saturday.
He owns farm few miles west of
that place and has been resident of
this county since the war of the rebel
lion. Mr.. Ingham is coIored man
and was born in slavery. To reporter
for the Banner he gave bit of interest
ing history concerning himself and the
reason he located here afrer the war.
He said when the war broke out the
first he remembered of ii was when a
regiment of the "rebsn came along by
the plantation where he was at work
cultivating corn, being a small boy of a
dozen years, this was a few miles out of
Jackson and he remembers of hearing
some OF them say "they would take the
skins of the yankees and make slippers
tor the southern ladies out of them"
Shortly after this he escaped from his
master and ran away joining the north
ern army and was cook for some time
in an Illinois regiment which came
under command of General John A.
Logan and in battle with the rebs at
one time lot of them were captured by
our men and Ingham says he well re-
members how it kept him on hustle
cooking enough for the hungry "John-
nies" to eat, some of them he says were
so near starved that they ate SO much
it killed them. After he got through
cooking he came TO Michigan and not
having had enough of war enlisted in
the Second Michigan Cavalry and went
south again until the war closed return
ing here with Captain Jones, since then
he has followed farming as an occupa-
ton and made a success of it.
Mr.. Ingham was great admirer of
General John A. Logan and while in
Illonois at one time he heard him make
IL speach at Urbana. Later when son
was born To him and his wife he named
him Logan in honor of the great Gen
eral and Statesman. Logan, the son, is
residing with his father on the farm
while a daughter resides in Chicago.
A number of years ago Mr. Ingham
used TO preach and eXhort in the church
at Shiloh and district school houses
with great zeal and fervor and can still
greatly interest an audience with his
sermons. He is an old veteran and
draws a pension from Uncle Sam.
Although approaching the allotted age
of man three score and ten he is a pretty
husky old gentleman but his eyesight
is somewhat impaired as result of
smoke and fire in his army experience.

AGreat Milk Test

M. G.. Green brought in bottle of
milk, Tuesday, morning that was per-
fectly sweet after having been milked
one week before. The milk had been
kept at an even temperature of about
40 degrees and would doubtless remain
sweet longer under similar conditions
Mr.. Green made this test NEARLY TO
prove the advantages TO be gained by
giving the proper care TO milk when it
is brought TO your door, many people
leave their milk standing for an hour
or two on the porch in the hot sun, af-
ter 1t is delivered and than wonder
why il sours so easily.
Mr.. Green is engaged in the milk
business and this test was made from
bottle of milk from last week Tues
day nights milking. The care of milk
is certainly sure thing To be looked af-
ter, where children are interested.

He IS IN
TROUBLE AGAIN
Eugene Smith Former Belding
Boy Arrested In Grand
Rapids
HE EMBEZZLED MONEY
Was Working For The Kelly Ice
Cream Company-TookS Small
Amounts Daily
HE EMBEZZLED MONEY

Embezzling small amounts of money
from day TO day from the Kelly Ice
Cream company proved disastrous for
Eugene Smith, a paroled prisoner from
Ionia. Smith pleaded guilty TO the
offence and went TO Jail for 60 days in
default of fine OF $50 and costs. After
sentence was passed ii was found that
he was on parole from Ionia where he
had been sent for from one to fifteen
years for swearing falsely to his wife's
age when the marriage license was
granted. After Smith is released from
Jail he will be returned 10 Ionia. He
is only Is years old and now has 60
days plus possible fifteen years inn
prisonment staring him in the face.
The young man ran a bakery in
Greenville about year ago and was
closed out because OF crooked work and
about the same time fell in love with
a girl i'm Belding whom he was getting
ready TO run away with and get mar
ried; unfortunately for him however, he
had bought n suit of clothes of A.
Friedman on credit and another in
on the same terms. He was
arrested on the day he was about TO
skip and wound up in the State House
of Correction in Ionia.
1t is thought that he is mentally un-
balanced. However, there seems to be
method in his madness and he is what
might be termed very slick one for
youth of his years.
