Why GOOD BLOOD IS RED

Why are we continually being told
that good blood must be bright red
What has color to do with the quail
ityf
Just this. The oxygen In the air Is
the great supporter OF animal life.
One business Of the blood is to take
oxygen from the air (which Il meets
| IN the 1ungs) and deliver It to the It's.
sues Of the body. When the blood,
n1led with DEMONSTRATING oxygen. Is
sent out by the heart II is bright red.
When II returns, filed with impuri.
ties, and deprived Of its oxygen, 1t is
dark.
From this It is clear that there ara
two prime requisites of health, pure
air and bright red blood--the pure
air to furnish the oxygen, the rich
blood to carry II where II IL needed.
DR.. Williams' Pink Pills make the
blood rich and red because they In

Hastings will review his own travels

Miss Smith is making her Senior lit

One of the most important things init
lated by her in this years course is prac-
tice in public speaking. Each member
of the class is expected to give a five
minutes talk before the class on some
subject chosen by himself. These talks
are very practical, inasmuch as the sub
jects are of vital interest to our coun-
try. A few examples of these speeches:
The Income Tax" "The Recent Tar
iff Legislation" Athletics and Morals" :"
and many others equally as good. Miss
Smith is one of our most progressive
teachers in school and is always on the
lookout for new and practical ideas in
the teaching of English.

GREAT RUG AND FURNI-

AT CRANDELL &

Alma has here one of the finest en-
porums of central Michigan. The two
large stores, the floors above and the
basement beneath are stocked, yes, al
most stacked with goods The display
is doubtless larger than can be found
elsewhere between Saginaw and Grand
Rapids and affords the people of Gratiot
Montcalm and Isabella counties a splen-
did opportunity to view complete line
of all grades and sizes and select by
actual sight and contact the best.
To those not accustomed to seeing
several thousand dollars in pile the rug
exhibit will prove most interesting. The
finest Administers, Body Brussels and
Wilton Velvets will be gladly shown with
the Tapestry Brussels, Wiltons and Will
tana's i'll all sizes from 6x9 to the larg-
est size made l2x15.
When Crandell & Scott advertise rugs
it is good time to buy them. Turn to
their ad on page and read it through.
Confidence in the integrity of a merchant
solves the problem of rug selection. Per-
haps this is evidenced most clearly by
the fact that this firm have doubled their
annual sales in the last six years.
This firm aim to make their service
courteous and will gladly welcome every
one whether they desire to purchase or
not, and Alma has reason to be proud
of her many well equipped mercantile
houses (1826t1)
