Car Stolen

A car, belonging to Harley
Hunt of Woodbine, was stolen
in that city last evening and
found here early this morning
on the St. Clair hill between
Sunnyside and North Eighth

gallons of gasoline in the car
at the time Of the theft and
the fact that this was all con-
sumed caused the abandonment
at this point.

THE COMING CONVENTION

When the annual convention OF the
Michigan State Good Roads associa-
ton takes place in Grand Rapids March

set the pace In q new era in the pro-
cesses OF good roads building in Michi-

inaugurated a plan of education that
will have a widespread force and serve
To inject a stimulation into good Dads

fiuence. All previous good roads con-
yentions In Michigan have been con-
lined TO programs in which experts,
enthusiasts and practical road build
ers have given their views and the
benefit OF their experience and the re-
suits have been beneficial. They have
created a sentiment of progress
and actuated leaders in communities
to great efforts and an inspiration to
improve the highways of the state for
the states benefit. But Grand Rapids
goes farther The convention will not
be confined alone to addresses that
have a recognized value and the re-
suits OF the experiences OF the men
behind the good roads guns of Michi-
gan, but will offer a public exhibition
of road building machinery and ma
terials, the first of its kind ever in
augurated in this state and which has
been introduced in but one or two
other states in the country along SINH
lar lines. And this exhibition is cal
culated to become a fixed annual in
stitution. for the education Of the tax
payers in the counties and townships
Of the state as well as to officials, who
are now recognizing that good roads
are a big investment, not an expense
to be reckoned with.
The problem OF materials is one OF
such Importance that every commun-
ity Is interested in II. The question
OF the right kind of machinery Is
equally important, because economy OF

BLUE MOLD APPLE ROT

There would be no need for the
discussion of the question THE Blue
Mold Apple Rot if it were possible
to consume every apple as soon as II
is picked from the trees. AS all
know, storage is the only salvation of
the over-supplied apple markets. From
twenty million to forty million
barrels are put in storage each year
and from Is to 20 per cent are lost
by storage rot. Blue mold causes 80
per cent Of all storage rot and hence
its Importance.
Thesame blue mold you all have OBJ
served on apple barrels left standing
in a damp place causes the blue mold
apple rot. This organism may be
working on the apple, causing rot, be-
fore the characteristic blue patches
are formed on the apple.
These blue patches might be compar-
ed to puff balls and are filled with

visible balls called spores These
spores are spread by The wind az is

DON'T NEGLECT

III Its Upset Mi-o-na Puts Ii Righ
And Ends Right

If YOU are one Of those thousand
who cannot eat a simple meal without
its lying in the stomach like lead, fer
menting and causing painful distress,
sourness and gas, do not delay but get
at once some Mi-o-na-a simple pre-
scription to be had at any druggist s.
that quickly and effectively ends in
digestion and corrects bad stomachs.
You must not allow your upsCt
stomach to go from bad TO worse for
there will surely be longer periods of
food fermentation causing greater
agony, more gas, sick headache, unre-
freshing sleep, blue spells and ner-
vousness.
A few Mi-o-na tablets are just the
thing you need. Use freely at the
first sign OF distress. Mi-o-na not
only quickly ends the misery but
helps. to unclog the liver and strength
en- the stomach-then your food is
properly digested.

spores are sure to get to the flesh
wherever the skin is broken. An ex-
pertinent with apples shows this
plainly.
Warm weather increases this kind
OF rot and hence the advisability OF
transferring packed barrels immedi-
ately TO cold storage as soon as pack
ed. The tendency for this rot is great
er too where the fruit is packed in
packing house. This is due to more
dust and a confinement of the air.
Thousands OF dollars could be saw
ed If the growers would exercise more
care in handling their fruit, prevent
ing picking and bench bruises, stem
holes, finger nail cuts, etc. 1t Is true
that the rot can be partially controlled
by cold Storage temperature but this
control is not to be depended upon.

Why You Sink i'm Water

The non-swimmer, fearing the
water, very naturally lenses his mus
cles as he struggles to keep his head
above the water. until he is as hard as
rock, and like a rock he sinks.
Whereas the swimmer, having no fear,
relaxes his muscles, and hence be-
comes buoyant. The explanation is a
simple physical one. Tense, taunt
muscles increase the specific gravity OF
the body and makes it sink in water.
Loose, relaxed muscles (given an or
binary supply Of air in the lungs) will
make the body float.-Outing.

SALOON LICENSES ON THE BAR
GAIN COUNTER

A saloon license in Chicago costs
$1,000, but the holder, in the palmy
days Of the liquor traffic, has often
sold one for $4,000. There has come
q slump, however and licenses have
deprecated in value forty per cent.
The liquor interests in Chicago and OF
all Illinois feel themselves TO be under
the shadow of coming events. The

Which romed the state about.
