CARELEssNRss CAUSE FIRES

The loss during the past year from
forest fires in Michigan was s3,567. 4S3,
lit, 472 acres being burned. The great
er part of this loss Is directly trace
able to carelessness of people who ig-
more their responsibility and duty to-
ward their fellowmen
A little care and common sense on
the part of farmers. railroaders, berry
pickers, picnickers. campers and
sportsmen might have averted this
loss. Forest lands. meadow lands,
plains. slashings and farms have been
the losers. In this locality the main
damage from forest fires is to the
forest lands and slashings. The form
er affects the timber owners. the lat
ter the future farmer. Efforts should
be put forth that such losses do not
occur again. Lumber IS growing high
err priced and timber and wood scarcer
each year. Every acre OF timber burn
ed shortens the nations future lumber
and wood supply. The beauty OF a
county Is In its woodlands and not in
the black and charred stumps remain

With July comes vacation time and
naturally most people will spend q

than in June, 1914, while the price OF
Southern No. 2 at Birmingham has de-
clined 20 cts. a ton within the last
month, and is 80 cts. lower than in

are not particularly consoling at

THE PRINTER's DREAM

Last evening | was talking
with a Printer aged and gray,
when he told me OF vision he had,
think, last Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his office,
This vision came TO view,
As he saw an Angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the Angel: I'm from Heaven;
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
\ And put on your Golden Crown.
you've been friend TO every one
And worked hard, night and day;
You've supported many thousand
And from few received your pay
so we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Fol- your eternal reward"
Then the Angel and the Printer
Started up towards Glory's gate,
But when passing close to Hades,
The Angel murmured: Waltz
rive place wish to show you,
It's the hottest place in He'll
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment forever dwell"
And behold the Printer saw them,
His old debtors by the score.
And grabbing up chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
~,
He desired to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Which ever way they'd turn.
Said the Angel: Come on Printer
There are Pearly Gates to see"
But the Printer only muttered;
@This IL Heaven enough for me-

That he can make the weanest

that he can stop the European war are
the claims made by Jud Vogel-

can extract electricity from the air

The Menominee inventor who is a

long list OF inventions some of which
he has already received invention pa

upon which he has secured his patent
papers was invented by himself and
Frank Morgan, Green Bay policeman
according to Vogelzan's story. and an
offer OF $4,000 for the patent has been

The people of the State OF Michigan
always have been subject to the raw
ages OF tuberculosis, q wholly pre-
ventable disease. This disease Is the
common enemy OF mankind, and is
rightly called the White Plague. The
first manifestations OF tuberculosis

discovers his danger when II is too
late. The Medical Fraternity OF Michi-
gan have It in their power TO render
the State an invaluable service. Their
functions are TO relieve suffering.

the greatest OF these three is to prevent
disase. Michigan physicians are ready

Probably one of the most remarkable
inventions OF the Menominee man is a
device which makes maple syrup from
the maple wood. vogelzan scoffed at
the idea of waiting for the sap to run"
and claimed that his invention will
make maple syrup less OF luxury
than II has been in the past.
One OF the most recent inventions
of the Menominee inventor is an auto
muffier which he claims completely
smothers the cough OF an engine in an
automobile.

One Of the most important. though
hitherto almost neglected phases OF
the fight for health, is the control OF
the degenerative diseases of later life.
Statistics show that at ages over As
the death rate in the United States is
increasing and not decreasing, as is
the case at the earlier age periods.
The increase is shown almost wholly
in the ~degenerative diseases OF the
heart and blood vessels and kidneys,
and in cancer.
Most of the degenerative diseases
cannot be cured in the sense that dis
eases Of earlier life are cured because
old age prevails in time.
But the important fact is that in too
many cases old age comes on prema-
rurely and without the victim suspect
ing its insiduous onset.
The first essential in the control of
these diseases OF adult life is their
prompt detection.
Cancer can be completely cured by
a surgical operation in many cases If
taken in time. but is rarely durable by
other means. or if neglected until in
the advanced stages.
