According TO the Celtic belief. every
newborn baby that died became spirit
and to comfort its sorrowing parents
Ii would scatter some kind of flower
from the sky.
A woman named Malvina lost her
little son and grieved so long and so
hard that her friends tried 10 turn her
thoughts some other way.
Her friends made up song. which
was sung TO her by number of young
women. The song told about their see
ing her little son on light cloud which
hung near the earth. He had lot of
new flowers. one of which was o gold
circle with silver leaves. tinted with
red around IT, When it waved I'm the
wind IL looked like little baby play
ing I'm a green meadow. The baby in
the cloud threw this pretty little flower
TO the ground. where 1t took root and
grew. according TO the song. The wo-
men took bunch OF daisies TO Malvina
and said these were the flowers thrown
by her son.
Since then the daisy has been called
the flower of innocence. because il Is
supposed TO have been the flower OF the
newborn.

4 TALK TO MERCHANTS

If the inroads of the mail-order
houses on the business of the country
merchants is to be stopped, publishers
must come TO the front with their
assistance. Some publishers are of the
opinion that it is up TO the dealers to
fight their own battles, but those most
far-sighted realize that a growing
community will be beneficial to their
business. No publisher ever lost
Nuch by giving his help to aid his
neighbor.
But merchants should remember
that publishers are entitled to the sup
port of those they aim to help, especi-
ally in the case of opposing the mail
order houses BY liberal advertising
any dealer who finds that out of town
concerns are hurting his business can
recuperate his losses and turn the
trend i'm his direction.
Local merchants wonder why it is
that the mail-order. business is con-
stantly increasing, when to the mind
of man who knows the first prin-
ciples of advertising it is perfectly
plain.
If the local man would advertise
properly the new articles that he re-
ceives and constantly keep the public
informed as to what he carries in
stock. all the trouble it would be to the
housewife when she wanted an article
would be to call the merchant over the
telephone and tell him to load the
article on the wagon when it came to
town. The way the majority of local
merchants carry on their business the
public will never know what they have
in stock
The time is coming when q man who
won't advertise will be considered out
of the game. or rather will have to get
out and make room for progressive
men who are building up their business
by advertising.
The above facts are true in every
line of the mercantile business and it is
encouraging to the newspaper man to
know that the majority of the mer-
chants are waking up on this question.
However, there are those who are be-
yond redemption and will be buried so
deep that they will never be able to see
the light of prosperity that will come
to those who are taking advantage of
proper advertising methods. If the
merchant would do his share this
would be eliminated.
Any merchant in Alma can meet
the price of mail-order house if the
purchaser gives him a chance. The
advantage to the purchaser in buy
ing at home is, if goods are not as
represented, he can have it made
right.

The exhibit by the state board of
health is one Of the most popular in
the entire state and its popularity is
due 10 the attractive manner i'm which
il is arranged and the graphic means
employed TO illustrate methods of bet
tering sanitation in municipalities
and on the farm. One looks into a
black box dimly lighted and sees a
healthy doll Thirty seconds later the
doll is replaced by a skeleton. And
then one is told that every thirty sec
onds another life has been claimed by
the white Plague" The dangers of
the public drinking cup are illustrated
i'm a similar manner. Flies are shown
moving from barn, to privy, to dwell
ling. Elaborate charts show every
process in the development and the
prevention of tuberculosis. Another
series of charts show the methods Of
caring for the teeth. Models Of cities
are laid out on tables TO show the pro-
per and improper methods of sewage
disposal and another model shows the
sanitary plan of sewage disposal in a
dwelling not connected with munich
pal system.

GOOD HEALTH WEEK

The Gratiot County Good Health
Society will hold a "Good Health
Week" at Alma, Michigan, beginning
Sunday, October 3rd at three O'clock
p. m, and continuing until Thursday,
October It'll. The meeting will be
school of instruction in sanitation,
civics and education.
Good Health Week" is for every
man. woman and child in Gratiot Co.
Every meeting is free to everyone who
will attend it.
Many of Michigan's best speakers
will be present and deliver addresses.
The State Board of Health will have
a health exhibit installed October 2nd.
This exhibit will be explained by an
expert. Full description of the exhibit
will be given later by the Gratiot Co.
press.
The Gratiot County Good Health
Society has taken the first advanced
step in health education by organic
ing for an annual Good Health
Week" The first one will open at
Alma Sunday, October Bird.
An ounce of intelligent public SEN
timent directed against preventable
disease and crime is worth ton of
law
Public sentiment is the result of
education and agitation. When peo-
pie know that crime costs the United
States annually s60O,OO0,0OO and that
it is largely due to disease and sinister
environments, they will destroy the
conditions that levy so heavy a toll.
The motto of the society is that
Education is to know for the sake of
living, not to live for the sake of
knowing"
Mothers of Gratiot County, this
movement is led by the Women's
Civic League. Will you not turn out
and help a little?
MICHIGAN BOARD OF HEALTH

Extract from Marquette Chronicle:
The most attractive exhibit at the

hibit which has attracted the atten-
ton of every person who has visited
the fair. The exhibit is made up of
charts, showing the statistical facts
about the growth or decline of dis
ease in Michigan, and several interest
ing electrical exhibits on the house fly,
tuberculosis, care of infants, pollution
of streams and the public drinking
cups. The care of the teeth is another
feature of the exhibit which is ex-
planned by charts. Frank j. Pienta of
