court had not made it's famous ruling
in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases
which were to outline for the first time
since the law was passed by congress

three great issues it has been necessary
for President Taft to consider and
frame a definite policy, and it is his
decision as TO these great questions
that has convinced the business men,
the laboring men and the farmers Of
the country that another term in the
White House for William Fl. Taft is
all that is necessary to restore the
country on that basis of unparalleled
prosperity which characterized the adj
ministration of William Mckinley. 1t

So many bewildering side issues
have become involved in the present
campaign for delegates to the Chicago
convention that the facts above stated
have been overlooked in certain COM
munities. Even the progressive
achievements of the Taft administra-

of new political doctrines, practically
none of which, except the proposal to
recall federal judges, can be dealt
with by the national government, but
must be decided each state for itself.

there is and can be no national law

the rules Of the party. it would cost
the taxpayers of this country not less
than 100000 Immediately
The hysteria occasioned by these
conditions is now passing away. and
the foremost facts staring the voters in
the face are the progressive and def

certainty of an immediate improve

LIVE Up TO
THESE RULES

The citizens of Grand Rapids might
do well to adopt the following Ten
Commandments of Spotless Town,
New Britain, Conn., 1t would not
hurt some people very much if they
would especially observe numbers 1,
2, 3, and 10 and keep them.
1. Don't throw anything on the
sidewalk or street. Find a rubbish
can.
2. Don't tear up paper and scatter
it anywhere.
g. Don't let any piles of ashes or
rubbish stay in your back yard.
4. Don't mix ashes and garbage
in the same can. Pigs don't like to
eat old coal or clinkers.
5. Don't fill the ash-bin or gar
bage-can too full
g. Dom chalk the sidewalk, fences,
buildings or pavements
Z. Don't deface park benches,
school furniture or any public pro-
perty.
8. Don't forget that horses love
banana skins. A banana skin isn't
dangerous if it is inside a horses
stomach.
8. Don't do anything that will
bring disgrace to the city where you
live
10. Don't expect your city to be-
come clean and perfect all at once.
1t will become an an ideal city only
when everybody does something every
day to help make things better.

been plunged into conflict with its

The First Congregational church
building was filled to it's capacity
with an appreciative audience to
listen to a program that was choice
in every respect. The Waterman Co
consists of Miss Emily Waterman,
reader; Miss Lillian Whitman, pi-
anist; and Mr.. William T. Shafer,
soloist. They were all splendid in
their respective parts and especially
strong were the reader and the pi-
anist. Their every appearance was
heartily encored and showed that the
large audinece appreciated to the
utmost every number rendered. The
members of this company made de-
cided hit and left a very favorable
impression.

SORE THROAT: There are many
kinds of sore throat, but in gen
eral way all yield to the same treat
ment when the cause is common
cold, or from the conditions that
bring catarrh, as the latter is pop
ularly known.
In the short lecture that is intend
ed to be no attempt will be made to
describe the symptoms and character
Of even such sore Threats as we shall
here consider. That would be a vol
luminous undertaking.
For the most part, ordinary sore
throat is contracted by careless ex-
posture, getting the feet wet through
the shoes in damp, slushy or rainy
weather. Added to this, frequently,
