DickinsOn's Assault on Liquor
Evil PrOvokes Much Favor
able Comment
POLL OF SENATE GIVES
PROHIBITION MAJORITY
Enough In Lower House to Make
Things Interesting
For Vets
From a staf Correspondent.

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 7-Lieuten-
ant-Governor .Dickinson's message to
the senate occasioned considerable
comment in legislative circles yester-
day afternoon and this morning.
The general opinion, even among
those opposed to the two big pieces of
legisl9 tion suggested by the titular
head OF the Republican party in Mich
igan, was that he had handled a diff
cult situation in an extremely tactful
manner
His treatment of the liquor question,
especially, was provocative of much
favorable comment as dry" adherents
are far more numerous in the present
legislature than In any other In the
history Of the state.
A careful canvass of the senate re-
veals majority of four out-and-out
"drys," 1t is said, and many others,
1t is predicted will be found in case
OF. an actual show down" on liquor
legislati ton.
Exact figures cannot be obtained in
the house, but it is known that there
is a fairly even division OF opinion on
the liquor question-at least enough
drys being present to show a hot fight
In case II becomes necessary.
Should 1t be understood, from your
address, that you favor statewide pro
hibition?" was the question put to the
lieltenant-governor.
No, no, don't get the idea that
said that, because I didn't" was the
reply. Il did not recommend legis.

Mr.. Dickinsons expressed view on
the pre-primary convention was prac.
tically the same as outlined by him
in an interview published in The
Times several weeks ago. although
corehed In more forceful language.
Although the pre-primary conven.
tion idea Is nominally fostered by tho
Republican state central committee
and despite the fact that Republicans
are Overwhelmingly In the ascendant
In both houses, II is generally be.
lieved that the measure. as drafted

Would Establish String of Hos
telries for Impoverished Tray
elers Across u. S.-Scheme
Proved Workable
MONEY FOR FIRST HOUSE
ALREADY SUBSCRIBED
Profit of Four Per Cent Possible
To Stockholders Is
Claim

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Plans were set
on foot today to establish chain of
lucent hotels throughout the United
States, by the Rufus F. Dawes Hotel
association. Money for the first OF
these hotels already has been sub
scribed. Construction of the building
is to be begun before next year. Min
neapolis, Seattle, or New York has
been suggested as the probable loca-
ton.
Decision to start a string of the
Rufus +. Dawes hotels TO stretch
across the country was reached fol-
lowing publication today OF the finan-
cial statement of Chicago's Dawes ho-
tel, built by Charles G. Dawes as a
memorial to his son. The statement
showed that $4,000 guests were
housed during the year ending Dec.
81, 1914. There was hardly night
when all the 5l1 beds were not taken.
Fifty-nine thousand meals were served
in that period. The rates were FIVE
cents for ward beds and 10 cents for
private rooms. Some OF the bill OF
fare prices are:
Coffee .................T Two cents
.sOiA '.'s -. - =, 'oHS Se.t
Meat hash and beans. Three cents
Mutton stew and bread. Three cents
Soup, with bread .., Two cents
All pies. ........-.s.... sThree cents
On the year the hotel lost only
$439.S1 on beds and the restaurant.
With depreciation in property. the to-
tai loss was about one cent per guest.
The hotels which Dawes will es-
tablish in many big cities Of the coun-
try will be run so as to pay the own
ers a profit of four per cent on the
investment. Dawes explained today
that while the plan primarily is
philanthropic ones, he wants 1t plain
ly understood that he intends making
profit SO that prospective guests
will know they are not charity
guests"

POWELL WOULD TEACH
FARMING IN SCHOOLS
Fron, o stan Corresnondent

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 7.-Senator
Powell. or Ionia, will introduce some
time next week bill to provide state
aid for the teaching OF agriculture in
the public schools.
The state grange, farmers clubs
and other organizations have at va.
rious times voiced demands for this
piece OF legislation, but as vet no
workable measure OF this sort has
been introduced.
Senator Powell believes that a great
public need will be met by the pas
sage OF such a law and that many
youths who are unable TO attend the
NJ. A. G. may receive material benefit
from state aided courses In rural
SCHOOLS.
An appropriation large enough TO
provide for the proper prosecution OF
the work will be asked In the bill.

AIDS TO DIGESTION

Whatever improves bodily condi-
tons in general aids digestion.
Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air,
baths and good habits make your di-
gestion better able to take care of any
burdens you impose upon it. But
the greatest aid to good digestion is
good blood. Anemia, or thin blood, is
a common cause of Indigestion. Nor
NAL action of the stomach is impossi-
Bile without healthy. well-oxidized
blood.
Dyspepsia which does not yield to
ordinary treatment may be quickly
corrected when the blood is enriched.
Many people have secured relief from
chronic forms of indigestion by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills which
make the blood rich and red, capable
OF carrying an increased amount of
oxygen, the great supporter of human
life.
Have you ever seriously considered
giving DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial
to tone up your digestion. increase
your vitality and make life better
worth living? If your blood is thin
and your digestion weak you certainly
need them. Send for diet book. 1t
is free and will help you decide.
