FOR YOUR LIVER.

The man or woman in good bodily
health is usually cheerful Good
health and a cheerful state of mind
that combination permits you to
get out of life all there is in it, f
plan and work and play with win
and spirit and enjoyment.
When you have the "blues"-when
everything looks dark and gloomy
when, in spite of the fact that you
can't see anything much to worry
about, you are glum and Respondent
and spiritless-it is pretty safe bet
that your liver is out of order.
And when your liver is not working
right, you ought to worry. AT least,
you ought to pay attention and inn
mediately seek a remedy For the
liver is the biggest and perhaps the
most important gland in the body. 1t
secretes the bile, which has an inn
portant work to do in connection with
the digestion of food. 1t acts as a
poison and waste product eliminator
If it does not secrete bile fast enough,
or does not properly remove the poi
sonous wastes, other organs are liable
to become quickly affected, and the
first thing you know you have other
trouble = govt, rheumatism, indiges-
ton, heartburn, dizziness, constipa-
ton, kidney trouble, bad complexion,
offensive breath, or some one or
more of dozens of other greater or

THE AFFIRMATIVE ONE
Continued from page one.

Sunday that could not be obtained
without labor He cited the tele-
phone and electric light and claimed
that the people were as guilty of any
wrong in the using of them as were
the people who made the Sunday SER
vice possible.
Philip w. Creaser spoke first for
the negative. He took his stand upon
the law Of God who commanded that
the seventh day be devoted to God.
Mr.. Creaser said that the man who
upheld Sunday labor in defiance to
Gods law was placing himself in a
position supreme over the Creator.
Mr.. Creaser suggested that the peo-
pie could get along without Sunday
labor if they would plan for it.
The next speaker, Mr.. T. H. A.
Holmes, was for the affirmative. The
speaker cited the conditions of in
dustry as compared with those Of
centuries ago. He claimed that the
creameries and blast furnaces and
many other great industries had to
run on Sunday in order to prevent
great waste and to prevent waste was
in keeping with the divine law.
six days shalt thou labor and do
all thy work. was the theme OF Rev.
Carl's speech. He REINFORCED the
previous negative argument stating
that man can never grow wiser than
God" Next he took up the need Of
day of rest and followed along the
line of argument that the loss of Sum
day and its observance would not
only menace the moral fibre of the
country but would finally destroy it
and would cause the downfall of the
United States.
The rebuttal Of Mr.. Smiths was a
clever piece of work. He put the
housewives and trustees in a rather
ticklish position by holding up the
claimed the church trustees were as
guilty of Sunday labor for the burn
ing of electric lights in the churches
on Sunday as those men who shovel
the coal that made possible the lights.
The housewife, who gets the Sunday
meals he held guilty of wrong ac-
cording to the negative stand
The judges, Prof. A. p. Cook, H.
Q. Moore and Carl H. Washburn,
after some deliberation rendered a
decision of 81 in favor of the affirm
ative. The meeting was presided
over by A. o. Davis After the de-
cision of the judges, Mr. Holmes
gave short talk on the purpose of
the debate and explained that future
debates had been planned 1t is the
purpose of these debates to discuss
important and vital questions and in
this way get them before the people
as a subject for thought

BUSINESS VS. ADVERTISING

The following from the Banner Re-
gister of the Benton Harbor contains
much truth Of interest to Alma bust
ness mem
"The seller always has to take the
initiative The time has gone by
when he could sit down in his store
and wait for possible customers to
drift along, read his sign, look in his
store windows, and come in with the
vague hope that they may find what
they want. People no longer buy
goods that way
Any business which is moving
along in a routine sort of way, on the
momentum of past successes can be
enormously increased by going out
after new trade.
People do not stick to one store
18th the loyalty of our fathers They
are under no obligation to buy any
where, they often like to change
around from place to place A store
that ives on its past will soon be in
the past. One may disprove of this
changeability, but it is human nature,
and good business men adapt them
selves to it.
This makes very easy thing to
build up new trade for the man who
has the goods and will let the people
know that he has them. Here comes
in the power of advertising. For one
person who starts out for a certain
place for a thing he has had there
before, there are a dozen who will GO
somewhere else, provided they are
shown convincingly through advertis-
ing that the new place is giving bet
ter values

tie man whom you are about to send
to the State Senate, will really repre-
sent or misrepresent you. in the great
fight for direct legislation and purer
politics, will he be a fearless fighter
or a weak camp follower, and TO
assist you in determining just where
stand in my contest for the State
Senate, | am going to submit TO your
honest and candid consideration, my
public record as a militant progress
sive in the Michigan Legislature, of
which body / am now member.
This record covers the last four
years OF regular and special sessions,
period which, for the passage of
progressive legislation is unequalled
in the history of Michigan. In the
last special session | led the fight
upon the floor of the House for an
Immediate Effectual Presidential Pri-
mary, making the opening and clos
ing speech in favor of its adoption.
In the session of 1909 lasssted with
my voice and vote in securing the
passage Of the present law whereby
the nomination of United States Sen
ators is determined by direct vote of
the people During all my service in
the legislature | have at all times,
worked and voted for every single
Grange measure, including the ton
mage Tax, the Interchange of tele-
phone service, the Initiative, the Re-
ferendum and the Recall ! assisted
the present governor in his fearless
fight against brewery and saloon DOM
nation, casting my vote continuous
ly with the dry forces of the House,
and in the interest of economy |
strove in every way TO curtail the eX-
travagant use of public money, which
abuse once brought scandal to our
party and bankruptcy to our State.
I am at this time chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, also a
member of the Committee on Taxa
ton which committee drafted the law
whereby the valuation of the great
copper and iron mines of the upper
peninsula was greatly increased, and
| was chairman of the special COM
mitt which impeached Warden Rus
sell of Marquette at the bar of the
Senate This is the record which 7
submit. and surely a record upon these
important matters must mean some
thing. Hands that have helped are
more dependable than lips that only
promise.
And so | come to you as candi-
date for Senator in the twenty-fifth
Senatorial district, offering you my
official record as a certificate of re-
commentator. upon which record I
must stand or fall, and pledging my
self to a continuation of the progress
sive fight, which battle having been
begun, believe will never halt, until
every thread of this new doctrine of
the peoples rights has been woven
into the very fabric Of the govern
ment itself. Let us make no mistake
in this great crisis, brother. Rather
let us by a wise selection of young
progressive blood for all offices,
purge Our party and Our country from
the lecherous evils of bossism and re-
action. therefore | say to you. in the
interest of yourself your party and
your country. before you cast your
vote, for any candidate. look ZIP his
record. investigate his affiliations and
then think it over
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
