Angina pectoris, one Of the most impor-
lant causes OF death among the wel-to-do
In later life Ohe so-called death of heart
diseased occurs very rarely in the poorer
classes. In charity hospitals it is almost
unknown. What Is the cause of this?
Only a very careful comparison Of the
manifestations OF this disease among all
concerned will, it is said lead ultimately
, to a solution OF this difficult and practi-
cally so important problem.
In 10 other civilized community, the
committee finds. is there so much aver
sion to post-mortem examinations as in
this country. This is partly due 10 the
fact that no effort was made in the past
century TO perform them.
I'VE have not endeavored in the past
to be in the vanguard OF medical science
and education and did not attempt to inn
press the public with the Importance Of
autopsies 10 medicine and TO mould pub
lie opinion in favor OF them, although we
had autopsies performed in this country
as far back as the first half Of the sew
enteenth century.

OWOSSO next IN Line
For State Armory Appropriation
Money Available This Year-City Should
Provide Additional Sum.

The State military board at a meet
ing held in Pontiac, Wednesday even
ing, decided that Owosso was entitled
to receive $l5,OOO from the state this
year for the erection of an armory in
this city. Under the state law $50, 200
is raised annually for armories and at
the time the law was passed at the
special session OF the legislature in 1912
it was understood Owosso would be
first in line for share of the 1919 tax,
deed for the site having been filed
with the proper state authorities in &C.
cordance with the law ahead of any
other city waiting for an appropriation
to construct an armory. This claim
was contested later on by Grand Rap
ids, which is entitled to 500, 0O0 land
expects to raise $l60, 600 additional) and
if its claim could have been maintained
Owosso would haye been compelled to
wait until 1915 for its armory. The
Improvement Association took the
question in hand some months ago and
named as committee to press its in
terests before the state board, DR.. J. o.
Parker, former captain of Co. III, Sena-
tor w. A. Rosendrans and Major NJ. J
Phillips. These gentlemen established
the fact that the deed from Owosso was
filed few days before that of Grand
Rapids. and at the meeting of the board
Major Stewart of Grand Rapids, with
drew the claim of that city and the
board made the award as stated
Messrs Rosenkrans and Phillips were
present to look after our interests, DIR.
Parker not being able to be present.
The thanks of the city are due these
gentlemen tor their activity and success
1t is conceded by everyone who has
taken any interest in the construction
of an armory in the city that $15, 900
will not erect suitable armory and
that Owosso ,rust assist literally if a
creditable building is to be built. An
excellent site has been secured at the
end of Exchange street running back
to the river, affording plenty of space
for beautifying the grounds about the
armory. Because of the fact that the
building will face Exchange street it
will be seen at a glance that a small
building will look decidedly out of
place and inappropriate. Owosso needs
a commodious hall where large public
gatherings and social functions can b.
held and the opportunity to secure the
same presents itself in the krmory
Steps should be taken at once to secure
whatever additional sum is needed to
erect building which will be a credit
to the city and will accom- odate both
Co. FL and the needs of the city men
toned. In our opinion at least S15, 900
should be provided.

PROCLAMATION
Spring Cleanup Day for Owos-
SO, May 18th, 1913

May 1st, 1918
wish to call the attention of every
citizen in Owosso to clean up and re-
move all indamable and combustible
materials, wherever found on their
premises, in yards, alleys, cellar en-
tries, areaways, under sidewalks, in
Easements, storerooms. closets, attics,
around barns and sheds, and along
hedges and fences.
WHAT FIRE CHIEFS AND HEALTH Of
FICERS CAN DO.
The live fire chief is q preyentation
enthusiast. He takes just pride in the
low fire loss of his city. He is ever
ready to aid in the removal of fire dan
ger. On Fire Fermentation Day he
should inspect the schools and other
public buildings in his city to discover
and cause to be remedied all conditions
liable to cause fires.
A trip of inspection through the city,
in company with the local health Of
ficer, to urge upon citizens the necessity
of removing all rubbish, rags, waste
paper, packing materials, hay, raw,
banking around buildings, debris, filth
and Cffal, in fact all things dangerous
to health or liable to cause fires, would
accomplish much good We know that
we can rely upon the active support Of
the fire chiefs in co operating with the
department
WHAT SCHOOLS CAN DO.
Schools should teach the practical
and real things Of life. The disgrace.
ful fire waste and the sacrifice of pro.
perty, lives and limbs TO the fire fend
constitute one OF these real things Of
life. Through strong program on
this day, occasional lessons and talks by
teachers and citizens, scholars can be
taught the facts of needless loss of life
and property. They will thus learn,
that most of the fire waste is prevent
able, that it is loss TO all and increases
the cost of living for all. They will
thus be aided in forming habits of care
in the handling Of materials liable to
cause fire, and taught the important
principle of responsibility to their
neighbors and fellow men, and 80 be
ever watchful not to endanger them on
their property.
Fire drills and lessons on What to
do in Case of Fire" should never be
neglected.
Send committees of scholars through
the school buildings to discover and re-
port defective conditions and dangerous
practices. Ask them to inspect every
room from cellar to attic and in their
homes for like purpose. Let the child
become the teacher in the home. Let
Let the school teacher be the lead.
er of thought and action in this
important conservation moment, and
let every day become fire prevention
day.
