CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts OF mind and body are GER
tair to follow continued use OF i'm
proper food.
Those who ARE still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that. as dropping water will wear n
stone away at last. so will the use of
heavy. greasy. rich food. finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion
Fortunately many are, thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food. A n. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus;
Sometime ago had a lot of trou-

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Has Been Active In Movement for
Health Preservation.

Tuberculosis Is one of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in
Japan, the Philippines. India and Aus
tralia. A movement Is on foot Tor d
national organization in China and IN
a number of cities local work has
been started. While no accurate fig
ures are available. those who are III
position to know claim that consump'
ton takes annually from 100000 TO
1000, 900 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate is fully as high
and on account of caste distinctions
and native superstitions. the problem
of prevention and treatment Is pecu-
liarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially Id
the control of tuberculosis. and Is
cooperating with two wcll'organlzed
private associations. The death rate
while very high, is lower than IN
China and India Under the direction
of the United States public health
service movement for the preven-
ton of tuberculosis in the Philippines
has also been organized.

Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-

big tent colony at San Rafael heights,

Ludlow colony went. Saturday surren-
dered 72 arms of all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks. burst
barrels, broken hammers. and many
small-caliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap
pointed by the manner in which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation OF dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers. mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur
render their arms voluntarily.
All told. there were 1876 arms re,
ceived by the federal commander Sat
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers in arms and
ammunition contributed largely, and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and smallcaliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

SENATOR PRICE
TOURS GENEsEE
DISTINGUISHED ALBANIAN SPOKE
IN CLIO SATURDAY
Was Member of Party of Democrats
Including Hon. F. L. Dodge and
County Candidates

Those of our citizens who braved the
disagreeable weather that prevailed
last Friday and came out to hear the
Democratic speakers who were touring
the county. had the unexpected pleasure
of listening to speech by no less per-
sonage than K. B. Price, United States
Senator from Alabama. Mr.. Price is
typical southerner in build and counten-
ance, and his oratory had all the fire
and polish traditionally inherent in
statesmen of his section. The Senator
paid high tribute to the administration
of President Wilson, which he said had
done more for the common people of
this country than all the previous ad-
ministrations in quarter of century.
He attacked the Republicans for their
opposition to the special tax of $780,
100000, which Congress proposes to
levy, claiming that it had been made
necessary by democratic extravaganza,
by saying that such extravaganza con-
sisted in adding $50, 900, OC0 to the pen
sions, and appropriating $40, 900, 900 for
the completion of the Panama Canal.
Senator Price also extolled the work of
Governor Ferris, who, he said, because
of his success in handling the strike
situation in the copper country, avoid
ing excessive loss of life and property,
has become not only a state but a
national figure, and was progressive of
the safest, sanest type. He said the
governors accomplishments in view of
the fact that he had been compelled to
work with legislative body of opposite
politics had been wonderful. The SEN
ator made splendid speech, the weak
est point in it being his advice to elect
a Democrat to Congress from this dis
trict because we would get more out of
it, the presumption being reasonable,
perhaps, that we should get all we
ought to have no matter what the polit-
ical complexion of the man who asked
| for it.
Hon. Frank l.. Dodge, of Lansing,
Democratic candidate for Congress,
made good speech, considered from a
partisan standpoint, and was followed
by John M. Baker, Democratic candi-
date for Prosecuting Attorney, who
promised in event of election to devote
his best efforts to the interests of all OF
the people of the county.
