There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other di- seases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable.

Eusy Chinese Hens.

It would appear that the hens of China find life more real and earnest than enjoyable, for it is said, when not matching out broods of their own kind, the additional and novel task of matching fish eggs is thrust upon them. Chinese owners of hens col lect fish spawn, introduce It into empty eggshells, dramatically seal them and place them under the de- ceiyed and conscientious hen. In due time the shells are removed and the spawn, now warmed into life, ia emptied into shallow pool. Here the ] fish which appear are narsed ano guarded until strong enough to Dc turned into lake or stream, and sub sequently add to the edible resources of the people:

1 Asked a Travelling Salesman

"Is it true that most travelling men lead a very unsatisfactory married life, gradually drifting away from their families, owing to their interrupted home life?'' T guess a good many of the boys have that experience he replied. 'In fact, after 1 had been married a few years found myself growing entirely too fond of the cafes and bright lights.
 However, you can beat any game if you want to-, he con- tinued. "The best way that l know of is to cultivate some- thing worth while. Personally, am strong for music, and the surest way to secure the great. est possible value is to purchase a Kimball Acmelo;lic Player Pi- an0-one of those wonderful in- struments anyone can play. Now, when 1 hear a spark ling musical comedy, CT opera, on the road. l write my wife to buy the roll for the player, and 1 actually count the days until l can get home and play the piece myself.
 T have induced several of the boys to purchase these instru- ments and if you ask them the same question, its a safe bet you will receive the same an- sWer.'

WOMAN RIGS SELF UP
ON COMPANIONS MONEY

Leslie Currie's $34 has been located,
end the police are making a valiant
effort to get it all together In one
pile, by a rather peculiar process. Les
lie Is the Algonac butcher who came
to Detroit to drown the sorrow of his
wife's departure, met a young woman,
and drifted into police headquarters
the next morning with the hat that
the young woman left, while in haste
to get away with Leslie's $34. De
tectives Dowd and Stenton located
her, Friday. She Is Mary Galino, a
waitress, Is years old. She had pur-
chased a complete outfit of clothing
with Currie's money.
Part of it was a red hat, with pop
pies on It, which, Mary told Justice
Stein. when she was arraigned on a
charge of larceny, she purchased for
$2.98. She also had an overcoat, a
pair Of shoes and rubbers, waist and
skirt. some furs, and some underwear.
Judge Stein was sympathetic when
Mary cried, and offered to let her go
free, II she did her best to repay the
money.
With Detective Stenton. Mary made
the rounds OF the stores, in the e.
fort to trade back her new finery foi
Leslie's cash.
At a late hour, Friday afternoon,
they we're still dickering with the
merchants. Mary is wearing her old
clothes.

FRANCHISE BOOSTER
DOES THE tWCT|Nl
George Booth Has Nothing To
Do With Scripps Real Estate
Laugh On the Mayor.

The joke seems to be on the mayor.
There are great many funny
things cropping out in the serious
campaign that is being waged to foist
a ID. L. r. franchise on the city, One
OF the funniest is the long open letter
which the mayor addressed TO George
q. Booth, and had printed In four
columns of solid nonpareil in the fran
chise organs.
The letter relates with pathetic de-
tail how GO suffering families have
been evicted from their homes by the
Scripps estate and charges Mr.. Booth
with being the cause OF this alleged
inhuman treatment.
The joke lies in the fact that all
the real estate dealings OF the Scripps
estate are entirely In the hands of
Edgar b. Whitcomb, who was recently
dropped as vice-president of the Eve
ming News Association because he fav-
ored the street car franchise, a fact
which brought him much favorable
mention in the franchise organs
is this the Scripps Estate?" the
Times asked over the telephone, Fri
day morning.
Yes" was the answer, what can
do for you"
will you please tell me who has
charge OF the management of the real
estate of the Scripps Estate"
Mr. Il. b. Whitcomb," was the re-
ply He is, handling the. real estate.
IL il is anything in connection with
the newspaper, however, you should
see Mr.. Booth or Mr.. Scripps."
Thank you, said the Times, ring
ing off.

WOMEN WANT ANOTHER
CHANCE At FRANCHISE
Many Who Attended Thursday
Meeting Declare Sentiment of
All Was Against Measure.

There Is a strong feeling among the
women who attended the meeting to
discuss the street car franchise, In
Cass-ave. Methodist church, Thursday
morning, that a second meeting should
be held at an early date In central
downtown auditorium, where the mat
ter can be gone into more fully.
II made II a point to mingle with
the women at the close If the meeting,
In order to learn the aftermath senti-
ment II | could, and | can honestly
say to The Times that Mayor Thomp-
son brought more harm to himself and
the cause he is advocating by his
speech, than II he had deliberately set
out to knock his own cause" said a
prominent clubwoman to The Times.
Friday morning. There Is no ques-
ton that the meeting was overwhelm-
ing anti-franchise. The women went
there, hoping for enlightenment, but
failed to get anything from Mr..
Thompson, but abuse Of his personal
enemies, and from Mr.. McRae, moth
ing beyond the fact that he thought
we'll OF the proposed ordinance, be-
cause It held municipal ownership
clause. Mr.. Moore and Mr.. McVicar,
who spoke against the ordinance, GER
tainly proved the best speakers, and
thoroughly In touch with the subject
up Cor discussion. Several well-known
clubwomen, wives or members OF the
Board of Commerce. expressed them
selves In favor OF Mr.. Moore's and
Mr.. McVicar's arguments, while talk
ing over the matter at the close OF
the meeting. The women of Detroit
interested in suffrage or In public
questions OF any kind, as well as those
women who will have a vote on the
street car question, are undoubtedly
aroused and want TO know more about
the provisions OF the ordinance. Equal
suffragists believe that the woman
vote I'm the street car matter VIII be
the largest ever polled in Detroit ana
will show that women are thinking
more and more of their right to have
a voice in public affairs which int
mately touch their homes ana their
pocketbooks."
The Board Of Commerce rooms nave
been offered the women as place OF
meeting, but many are opposed to &C
cepting the offer, on the ground tnat
the public may receive the idea that
the women stand with the Board OF
Commerce in its view OF the Ihomp-
-Hutchins' franchise.
