ing upon you from concealed
trenches. 1t does not strike trait

1t flies no Zeppelins. ii uses no
asphyxiating gases. But i'm ever
increasing numbers it is marching
upon your Notifications, Its re-
cruits come from the city offices,
from factories and stores; they
come from our universities and
colleges, our city schools, our
country schrols: they join our
cOlors from the kitchen as we'll as
the drawing room, from behind
the counter of the ten cent store
and from the parlor of the fash
ionable modiste. Rich and poor,
married and unmarried, still they
advance. They come from march
ing down our city street; they
they come marching over our
beautiful broad farm lands in ever
increasing numbers. They fire no
guns, they make no demands:
they present no charges of DELHI
crate misrule, of discriminating
laws. They simply ask, largely on
account of changed economic
conditions. conditions over which
they had no control, that they be
allowed to take a direct, dignified
part in the affairs of our common
home, the United States of Amer
lea. This army comes with no
beat Of drum or flare of fife, but if
you put your ear to the ground
jyou can hear the muffled foot
steps of this army. An army made
up Of your mothers and your
daughters. On an open field, in
broad daylight this army is
marching straight forward, ask
ing of you unconditional surren-
der Of the monopoly of the privi-
leges and responsibilities of
democracy.
Woman's suffrage is coming
says w. J. Bryan, nothing in the
future is more certain. Every day
discussion among the people in
creases the adherents and weak
ems the opposition. Does any one
doubt that women posses the nee
essary qualifications for sutf-
rage? The voter needs intelligence
and morality. Does women lack
either intelligence or morality?
Go to your penitentaries and you
will find the men there in an over
whelming majority. Go to your
churches and you will find that
the women are i'm majority
there. If women have sense en-
ough to keep out of the peniten-
tiary and morality enough to go
to church, who will say that they
are not fit to go to the polls?
Voters Of North Dakota: If you
believe that the power of the bal
lot has helped to elevate reason
and justice, why not add to your
constituents.
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa
says: AS to national suffrage
have indicated by my vote in the
United States senate for the ma
tional suffrage amendment that
favor it. 1t will come.
William S. Kenyon says:
wish you success in your cam
paign for equal suffrage. l have
never heard good argument
| against woman suffrage. There
is no good reason why women
should not vote if They want to.
Woman suffrage will help to
make politics clean. Why not
give it a trial?

HE is NOT A BIT FER0Ci0US.

This Much Malisned Animal Is Just a
Lazy, Playful Loafer That Avoids
Men and Fights or Works Only When
He Is Compelled to Do So.
The black bear is neither ferocious
nor dangerous. The most fitting name
l have ever heard given him is the
Happy Hooligan Of the Woods. he is
a lazy, playful loafer and has no eyI
Intentions; but, like a shut-in boy or
a boy with a task to perform, he wants
company-does not know just what to
do with himself.
The black bear has more human-iike
traits than any other animal l know
He is a boy in disguise-will not work
long at anything unless at something
to produce mischief. Occasionally he
finds things dull and simply does not
know what to do with himself. He Is
happy go lucky, ard taking thought OF
the morrow is not one of his troubles.
He is afraid Of the grizzly and avoids
man as though he were a pestilence.
He plans no harm. In other words,
the black bear is just the opposite in
character of what he had long been
thought and Is still almost universally
believed to be. A million writers and
spoken stories have It that he is fero
cious-a wantoh, cruel killer. He fights
or works only when compelled to do so
He is the most plausible buffer
have ever seen. With hair bristling OF
the back, upper lip stuck forward and
an onrush, with a rapid Volley Of
champing k-wooff-fs, he appears ter

achy or Have Bladder Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else yon feel dull mis-
cry In the kidney region, sharp pains
In the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue Is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times DUR
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lith-
Ia, and has been used for generations
! to clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys and stop bladder irritation.

and makes delightful effervescent

pose OF running.
A black bear climbs q tree almost as
readily as a cat, and he climbs small
pole or large tree with equal ease.
The grizzly does not climb trees, but
the black bear, With its catlike fore
paws, can simply race up tree trunk.
Much of hlS time, both asleep and
awake, is spend IN treetops. He might
almost be called psrching animal.
Like most animals the black bear has
a local habitation. His territory Is
twenty or less miles In circumference,
and In this he is born, lives and dies.
In springtime he descends to feed On
the earliest wild gardens of the foot
hills.
The black bear eats everything that
is edible. Though omnivorous, his food
is mainly that of a vegetarian. He
digs out rich willow and aspen roots
In the shallow and soft places and
tears up or digs out numerous plants
for their roots or tubers. Often he eats
grass and devours hundreds Of juicy
weeds. During autumn have seen him
on the edges of snow fields and gla-
ciers consuming thousands of unfor-
tunate grasshoppers, flies and other In
sects there accumulated. He is par
ticularly fond of ants-tears ant hills
and decaying logs to pieces and licks
up the ants as they come storming
forth to bite him. He tears hundreds
of rotten logs and stumps to pieces foI
grubs, ants and their eggs.
He freely eats honey, the bees and
their nests. He catches mice and OF
ten amuses himself and makes a most
amusing and manlike spectacle by
chasing and catching grasshoppers
He win deVour carrion. In a fish coun
try be searches for fish and occasion

ty well distributed over Forth Ameri-
ca. His color and activities vary some
what with the locality, this variation
being due perhaps to a difference of
climate and in the food supply.
The black bear has a well developed
brain and may be classed among the
alert animals Of the wild. Its senses
are amazingly developed. They seem
TO be ever on duty.
Young black bears have good tenn
pers and are playful In captivity, but
If teased or annoyed they become trou-
blesome and even dangerous with age.
II thine enemy offend thee present
him with a black bear cub that has
been mistreated. He is an intense,
high strung animal and, IL subjected
to annoyances, teasing or occasional
cruelty, becomes revengeful and vim
dictive. Sometimes he will even look
for trouble and, once in fight, has
the tenacity Of a bulldog.
The black bear has never been pro
tected as q game animal. Through all
the seasons of the year, with gun and
dogs, the hunter is allowed to pursue
him. 1t would be well for a few years
to have a closed season on bears. As
he is verging on extinction and as he
gives to the wilds much Of their spirit
there ought to be a closed season t6
protect this rollicking fellow of the
forest.
If were asked to select the one EN-

suggests the spirit and the spell of the
great outdoors l should select the

TIERS, VICTIMS
Cause of Tragedy Obseured View oi
Crossing, as Was the Case in
Accident Here

A frightful accident that in its cause
and attendant circumstances bore strik-
ing resemblance to the sad tragedy
which occurred in Clio, Friday, took
place at Frazer, near Mt. Clemens,
Sunday noon, when Grand Trunk pas
senger train crashed into an auto truck
in which William Stoldt, Oakland coun-
ty farmer, and his family were driving.
Seven of the eight passengers were
killed and Stoldt, the sole survivor, was
taken to Mt. Clemens hospital fatally
hurt. Those who were killed were Mrs.
Rachael Stoldt. aged A years; Mrs.
Stoldt's sister, Miss Minnie Engel, Of
Romeo, and Mr.. and Mrs. Stoldt's FIVE
daughters. Pearl, II. Esther, Is, Hazel,
IL, Mabel 10, and Martha, aged years.
The bodies were strewn along the
railway tracks for a quarter mile.
There were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy excepting the train crew. The
train stopped and hasty examination
showed that all were dead except
Stoldt. He was taken on the train and
brought to the hospital. A flat railway
truck was employed by the coroner to
gather up the bodies.
Just how the accident occurred is not
known, but it is known that view of
the railroad tracks from the direction
in which the farmer and his family ap-
preached is obscured by a clump of
trees and a dwelling. 1t is thought,
therefore, that he did not see the train,
and that the noise of his own motor
may have prevented his hearing it until
it was upon him.
That the automobile was hit squarely
in the middle is shown by the fact that
the front truck was found close to the
tracks on the right side, hurled through
the fence of a cattle guard, and the
rear truck was carried nearly quarter
of mile and dumped on the left side.
Other parts of the machine were found
in field several hundred feet from the
right of way.
The seven members of the family
were killed instantly. The youngest
was terribly mutilated. One body was
thrown rs feet from the crossing to the
right of the track, another 100 feet to
the left and those occupying the rear
seat were carried with the wreckage OF
the car quarter of mile.
Miss Nora Stoldt, of Detroit. a
daughter, is the only survivor of the
family.

Had Adventurous Career

John M. Schmitzer, an aged and well
known citizen of Birch Run, died at his
home in that village on Oct. 8, and
concerning various adventurous and
stirring incidents in his life, The Ches-
aning Monitor recently published the
following:
There passed away at his home in
Birch Run another old veteran whose
life work and service to the country OF
his adoption, would read like a story
book of fanciful fiction.
John NJ Schmitzer was born in Ger.
many the 2lst of August, 1888. He.
immigrat I'd with his parents to the U.
S. A., in 351. coming to Michigan and
locating on farm in Frankenmuth
township. In September, 1861, when
the first call for troops came, he joined
the 3rd Mich. Cavalry, serving almost
three years, when he was captured by
southern forces while doing scout duty.
He was tried and convicted of being a
spy and sentenced to be shot. The day
before the sentence was to be carried
out, through some mistake of the con-
federate officers he was exchanged
along with other northern prisoners, at
once rejoining his regiment. He thus
escaped death by as strange a twist of
human events as seldom happens in this
life.
After serving the three years, he re-
enlisted and served until January, 1866,
when he was honorably discharged at
San Antonio, Texas.
Coming home, he was married the
following year to Anna B. List, to
which happy union were born 13 chill
dren, IL of whom are living, the most
of them in Saginaw county.
The following is order of birth: Con-
rad, Marshall, Texas: John, Saginaw
William, Birch Run; Christ, Chesaning
George. Birch Run; Louis, Birch Run;
Mrs. Mary Lang, Birch Run; Ernest,
Birch Run; Charles, Tuscola county;

Last Tuesday, there was two ser.
vices held, one at the home in English
and the other at the Lutheran church in
Frankenmuth, of which church he has
been communicate for go years.
Besides the IL sons and daughter
there survives SIS grand children and

County Roads

According to the annual report of the
county road commissioners which has
been submitted to the board of SUPER
visors, 40H miles of road were built
during the season of 1914 and 1915.
Eight and half miles are in course of
construction and 2l1 miles have been
completed since the county road sys-
tenn was adopted, while 50T miles are
to be completed before the system is
finished. During the last year the fol-
lowing amounts were spent in the vari-
GUS townships, Argentine, $11, ,343. as;
Atlas, $3,67O.75; Burton, $7,814.O2;
Clayton, $12, 3O5. a.; Dawson, So. 662 26;
Fenton, $9,215.7l; Flint, $4,445. O6;
Flushing, $1,343.55; Forest, 81, 76O. A.;

Thetford, $l,99O.29; Vienna. $47.la;
bonds and interest, s31, 7S9. 80; road re-
pairs, $19, ,945.34. The commissioners
ask that So on 81, 900 be raised for the
work. The commissioners also ask for
$4,000 to repair the roads already
built. The editor of this paper hasn't
gone into the matter analytically, but
it don't take much research to perceive
that If Vienna gets as much next year
as she has this year, her citizens
will contribute their $500 mainly for
foreign missions. Please get out your
best specks and observe that SAT. lS for

New Deer Law

Effect of the recently enacted deer
law, which permits the taking of only
one deer season by any hunter, is
seen in the new deer licenses, just is
sued to county clerks, and which are
now on sale.
The law provides that every deer
shipped out of the north woods must
bear seal, similar to those used in
sealing cars for shipment. AS only one
seal accompanies each license, none
can be secured in other ways and no
deer will be handled by the railroads
without seal, it will be impossible for
hunters who shoot more than one deer
to get the extra ones home. A stiff
penalty is provided for exceeding the
limit.

Favors the Local Merchant

Grant Slocum did not originate but
he fathomed several fundamental truths
when, in connection with his announce
ment that he would hereafter exclude
the advertisements of mail order houses
from the columns of The Cleaner, he
published his views regarding the rela-
tionship of the farmer to the local mer-
chant, the local merchant to the farm
er, and their obligations to each other.
We hope that every reader of The Mes
senger will read the article and make
use of its truths in practical way.
II have come to realize that the in
terests of the business men on both
sides of the town or village line are
pretty much the same. 1t has finally
been driven home to me that the value
of our farm life is measured largely by
the growth and prosperity of the near
est town.
Farmers and their wives and fam
lilies owe the nearest store their trade.
every penny of it, but only when that
local merchant has shown his desire to
cooperate with the farmer and has
helped make the town worthy of the
farmers trade. Every town that has
two stores or more ought to provide
rest room, with toilet conveniences for
the accommodation of the people from
out of town who come in to trade. In
most small towns, and big ones, too,
find that the only place the mother can
make changes for her baby or care for
her own personal wants is in the wash
room of the local hotel, where the sign
For Guests Only stares her in the
face. The only place the men folks
can rest or warm up is in the saloons
with their too willing welcome!
II want to see welfare committee
composed of an equal number of repre-
sentative business men and farmers in
every town. They will bring the rest
room and other much needed conven-
fences.

ters, good stocks of the best merchan-
