A resolution was also passed to resur-
face the road leading east from the viii
lage for distance of half mile.
| The most important action on the
part of the electors followed speech
by M. C. Doyle, when resolution was
almost unanimously passed whereby
the township agreed to rent the audi
torium for period of five years at an
annual rental of $500. This action, un-
doubtedly, was partially in the nature
of contribution to worthy public
enterprise and certainly does credit to
the generosity of the voters of the
township. 1t was agreed that the room
should be at the disposal of the town
ship for farmers Institutes and other
occasions of similar character.

TOWNSHIP ELECTION
HOTLY CONTESTED
VOTE NEARLY AS LARGE AS THE
LARGEST EVER CAST
Republicans Elect Supervisor, Clerk,
Justices, Constable; Democrats
Get Balance
VIENNA

Five hundred and sixty-seven votes
polled ont of total enrolment of 675
in the township shows the election last
Monday to have been one of the most
numerously attended ever held in Wen
ma township. The races between the
candidates for the Offices of super
visor and highway commissioner were
hot and the recent controversy in which
the school board figured entered into
the situation and lent additional interest
to several other contests. There were
127 straight republican ballots and llS
straight democratic ballots and, as US
ual, there were many unmarked and
partially marked ballots.
LOCAL OPTION
Three hundred and thirty-six electors
of the township declared themselves in
favor of local option, while POI voted
against it, giving the drys a majority
of 135, vote very complimentary to
the people of the township, we believe.
The ballot on this question seemed tn
us to be rather misleading, and we be-
lieve that many citizens voted mo
in the belief that they were thus veto
ing the liquor business in Genesee
County, whereas, as matter of fact,
they were voting for it. If the ballot
had simply read: "For the manufacture
and sale of liquor in Genesee County"
or against the manufacture and sale
of liquor in Genesee County," we be-
lieve much more accurate expression
could have been secured. Flint city
went wet by 665, while the county went
dry by 500.
Following is statement in detail of
the vote on the various candidates for
township Offices:

How to Prevent
Acid StomaChS and
Food Fermentation
By a Stomach Specialist

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles, l have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy and
normal. The real trouble, that which
causes all the pain and difficulty, is ex-
cessive acid in the stomach, aggravated
by food fermentation. Hyper-acidity
irritates the delicate lining of the stom-
ach and food fermentation causes wind
which distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full, ,bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process of digestion.
The stomach is usually healthy and nor
NAL. but irritated almost past endur-
ance by these foreign elements-acid and
wind. In all such cases-and they COM
prise over so per cent. of all stomach
difhculties-the first and only step nee
eSsary Is to neutralize the acid and stop
the fermentation by taking in a little
warm or cold water Immediately after
eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of
bisurated magnesia, which is doubtless
the best and only really effective antacid
and food corrective known. The acid
will be neutralized and the fermentation
stopped almost instantly, and your stom-
ech will at once proceed to digest the
food In a healthy, normal manner. Be
sure to ask John Coughlin or your drug
gist for the bisurated magnesia, as 1
have found other forms utterly lacking
In its peculiarly valuable properties.-F.

If your hair is not beautiful, lacking
that enviable softness, lustre and
fluffiness, or is falling out, full Of
dandruff, too dry, or the scalp itches
and burns, by all means use Partisan
Sage, an inexpensive and delicately-
perfumed liquid easily obtained at any
drug counter or from Bowditch &
Webster Co.
Simply rub Partisan Sage well into
the scalp. 1t will go right to the hair
roots, nourish them, and stimulate the
hair to grow long. strong and luxari-
ant. It removes every trace Of dan
druff, thoroughly cleanses the hair OF
dust and excess oil. and makes it soft

Partisan Sage is always safe, always
reliable and can be used constantly
without the slightest injury and should
give the hair just what it needs to
