Psychologists Disagree

There are few persons who realize how
greatly Psychologists are at variance in
their estimate of the actual work per-
formed by the Liver. While all agree
that it is the largest and one of the very
important glands of the body, when it
comes to the question of the actual work
performed. there seem to be a wide di-
versity of opinion.
Practically all are agreed, however,
that the principal work of the Liver is
the separation of such materials con-
tanned in the body as might exert pois-
onous influence upon the body unless
thrown off

ma Tuesday Afternoon
RAILROAD OFFICIALS PRESENT
Com. Dickinson Gives R. X. Companies 80 Days
to Prepare Plans For Station

As announced in last weeks Record,
members of the State r. R. Commission
visited Alma Tuesday, arriving in the
city OH the Ann Arbor from the south.
They were accompanied by representa-
tives of both the Pere Marquette and
Ann Arbor railroads and were met at
the depot by representatives from the
Board of Trade, the City Council aud
Civic Improvement League.
After inspecting the present building
and surroundings, those present assem-
bled in the ladies' waiting room, where
the meeting was called to order and the
occasion for the gathering viz, better
station facilities, thoroughly discussed.
Assistant cashier of the First State Bank,
John Knoertzer, first addressed the Com
mission, setting forth the needs of the
city and the inadequate facilities for ac-
ommodatiDg the public. Mr.. Bahlke
followed Mr.. Knoertzer, and while the
writer has often heard him in earnest
conversation and address, it is safe to
say that never did he place more force
and earnestness in his remarks than on
this occasion. He depicted in plain lam
guage the we'll known conditions which,
for many month, have proven dis
grace to our city. The unsanitary, un-
clearly conditions were noted, as were
the facts that ladies waiting for trains
have been compelled to sit on the station
floor to secure relief from standing, &C.
casioned by the sparse seating accommo-
dations Mr.. Bahlke stated that for
himself, when taking train, he pre-.
ferred to stay outside the building and
snffer the Inconvenience of Indictment
weather and the station walks than to
be inside the building with the present
unsanitary and filthy condition. He
stated in terse language and gave his
reasons why the station, in j present
condition, is unfit for wife, mother OF
daughter to be compelled to wait in
The size and growth of Alma were con
sidered, as was the fact that the Alma
station was the only means used by the
citizens of ST. Louis in reaching the A
A. r. r. All these and various Other
present existing conditions were dis
cussed, after which Mr.. Dickinson of the
Commission said he would give the rail
road corporations fifteen days in which
to present plans and specifications for al
enlarged or new station, to the City
Council of Alma.
The representatives of the railroad
thought the time allowed too short, anC
later Commissioner Dickinson EXTENDED
the time to March 20. on or before which
date plans will be presented TO the Almi
Council for their approval.
Mr.. Dickinson, on behalf of the K Il
Commission, said that the work woult
be given their attention and that the,
appreciated the needs of the public il
increased station facilities in Alma
Cement platforms surrounding the sta
tion and cement approaches leading
