Welsh SONGS Promised.

A Cardiff correspondent of an Eng
lish newspaper says:
"Cymric ardor on the battlefield is
going to be inspired and sustained by
Cymric music. Not the least impress
sive sight today, and during the past
week, among the Welsh units training
at Porthcawl has been the gathering
cf the soldiers for choral singing.
When the new Welsh army Of 10000
men take the field It will go to battle
to the sound Of Cymric war chorus,
which experts have described as the
finest martial music in the world.
The organization just formed Is
known as the Welsh Army Male Voice
chorus, and as the recruits include
some Of the finest singers in the
Welsh valleys, men who have COM
peted in scores of Eisteddfods, the SOL
dfers' practice sings at Porthcawl par
take of the character Of first-class
concerts, which attract to the vicinity
Of the hall large numbers Of residents
of the town and visitors.
Miss Gee of Denbigh, an ardent
patriot, is distributing fine selection
Of Welsh war songs, with request
for the rendering Of these and less
singing Of 'Tipperary.'

Who Go to Church?

The facts about church member.
ship are contained In United States
census bulletin No. 103, and the per-
centage of church membership in the
total population is given for the year
1906, 26 years after Kansas has be-
come a prohibition state. According
to this tabulation, which Is the latest
obtainable, the lowest percentage OF
church membership was in Oklahoma,
including Indian Territory, the rate
being 1872. The rate in New York was
1877; in Pennsylvania, 43; in Illinois,
3s.3; in Nebraska, 1874; in Maine, 29.s;
and in Kansas, 2S.4. Forty-three
states had a larger percentage OF
membership than had Kansas.
Since this tabulation was made up,
two of the four states that had . low
er rate of church membership than
had Kansas, namely Oklahoma and
West Virginia. have joined the ranks
CT the prohibition states. OF the six
states. therefore. having the lowest
rate OF church membership in the
United States, four are prohibition
states.-Royal e. Cabell in Leslie's.

Benefit IN WAGGING EARS
Exercise is Declared by Physicians to
Have an Excellent Effect OF
the Hearing.

You will rarely find that q man who
can wag his ears suffers from deaf
ness. The reason for this il very SIM
pie. Wagging ones ears exercises
them just as much as walking exer-
cises the muscles of the legs. A great
deal of deafness is caused by the mus
cles of the ears becoming stiff and
refusing to respond quickly to the
sound waves.
Quite large proportion of children
can move their ears, just az they can
move the skin on their forehead up
and down, but as they grow up they
lose their power through want Of prac-
tice. It Is q mistake to let q child lose
this power, for it may mean the DIFF
ference between good and bad hearing
In after years.
Dr. NJ Fernet, the famous Paris doc.
tor, has even gone so far as to suggest
that people should be trained to wag
their ears just as they are trained to
exercise any other muscles of the
body.

lived them all. This fall Mr.. Walters
organized company OF able talent,
who have been rehearsing their parts
for weeks. In the near future they
will swing to other parts of the United
States, but before doing so Mr.. Walters
decided to play East Jordan and some
nearby cities.
Therefore the play to be given at the
Temple Theatre next Monday night
will be of more than passing interest to
our Citizens, as the greater part of the
cast is made up of well known theatric-
al people who have made East Jordan
their home for several years.
The play itself is one of the funniest
musical comedy dramas ever produced.
During the action of the play several
up-to-date specialties will be introduced.
Don't forget the date-next Monday
night-Oct 18th. Admission 25-35 so

STATE FIGHT AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS NOW ON

Lansing, Mich, Oct. 4.-To-day marks
the official beginning of Michigan's
500, 900 war on tuberculosis. To rid
the state of this disease-that and moth
ing less than that is the object of the
State Board of Health. They do not
expect that this will be done in two
years, or five years, but during the
next two years they hope to build up
an organization in each county in the
state that will be able to carry on the
work indefinitely.
The first county to be visited is Wex-
ford. Next in order will be Barry and
Ottawa. In each case DR.. DeKleine
and his helpers will spend one, two or
three weeks in county trying to
interest the people in their immediate
health problem.
Every campaign will include an at
tempt to locate each case of tuberculosis
within the county and having nurses
visit these patients in their homes to
instruct them on how to live and how
to get WELL 1t will include moreover a
complete sanitary survey of the county
which will be invaluable as an index to
what the real health conditions are.
Moreover, the physicians of each coun-
ty will be asked to cooperate with the
agents of the State Board of Health. 1t
is with the aid of the physicians that
DR.. DeKleine and his helpers hope to
locate the cases of tuberculosis in a
given county not only, but it is they
who can carry on the work after the
state board workers have passed on to
another place. During the campaign
in a county a specialist in tuberculosis
will hold daily conferences with the
physicians in regard to the latest and
best methods of treating and prevent
ing the disease.
Health First" has been chosen as
the official slogan OF this statewide
movement. II will be printed on all
the stationery of the Division of Tuber-
culosis, and it itappears likely that it will
become as we'll known as the industrial
slogan Safety First"
