THE PICNIC PLACES

Soon you'll see the picnic places
Blossom with the rosy faces;
Hammocks meath the shaded trees,
Bird-songs on the scented breeze;
Near the sound of rivers flowing
All the merry fiddlers going;
Paradise of pure delight
Swing your partners, left and right. u
In the joyous picnic places
Time to sweetest music races;
Wherefore will he not delay
When the world makes holiday?
With sweet Spring her kisses flinging
And world of wild flowers singing +?
Treasure, then, each life thrilled
minute
Drink the living joy that's in it!
Prank l.. Stanton.

Yet with the great industrial states
of New York and Pennsylvania thus
tagging so far behind equal suffrage
Washington in the protection of wage
earning women, the anti-suffrage
press maintains that votes for wo-
men has no more to do with wages
than it has with snow storms.

Woman suffrage goes to the voters
in New York and New Jersey next
fall. The Legislatures of both states
have passed bills giving the women
the right to watch at the polls.
What is this but plain admission
by these law making bodies that wo-
man can't trust men to protect their
interests at the polls?

One of the legal disadvantages of
women in New York was shown up
in a skit at the Colonial Theater in
New York City, March Is. 1t was
based on the law which permits man
to get himself appointed guardian Of
his children without telling his wife
anything about it. The mother I'M
der similar circumstances is obliged
to serve notice on the father.

1.-THE Birth of A Nation

ID. w. Griffith's master production,
"The Birth Of Nation" will be the
attraction at Powers Theatre, Grand
Rapids, starting Friday evening, Dec
ember oath. Beginning Saturday af-
ternoon, December 25th there will be
in addition to the evening perfor-
nance, daily matinee given. 1t will
be brought here in exact reproduction
of the great attraction which is now
in New York, Chicago, st. Louis, Phil
adelphia and other large cities where
it has broken every record of the
American stage. These achievements
alone have aroused more comment up
on the subject of this great story than
was ever devoted to theatrical enter
prise before.
The merest statement regarding
"The Birth of Nation" leaps to SUI
perlatives because there is no other
form in which it can be written. Sim
pie facts in relationship to its develop
ments sound extravaganza until you
have seen the production and realized

can history ranging through three

with tens Of thousands of soldiers in
the conflict. $4,000 people participat-
ed i'm the telling of the story. Three
thousand horses were used to give the
cavalry and other thrilling effects Of
the wild dashes over miles of territory.
Cities were built up only to be de-
stroyed by fire. The total cost of the
entire production was in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. Five hundred cos
tuners and seamstresses worked for
three months to make the costumes
worn by the people. 10000 yards Of
cloth were worked into the costumes
worn by the women while $4,000 yards
of white muslin were used in the re-
gala Of the Klu Klux Klansmen. And
with all this simple, human story
Of love and romance weaves through
the vast spread of the action and
grips the hearts of the audience. The
narrative is filled with tears and
smiles. A syphonic score accompan-
les the action and lends potent force
to the drama.

STATE HOLDING CLINICS
FOR TUBERCULOSIS

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 2O.-The tu-
berculosis division Of the state board
of health is appealing to the manufac-
turers in the state to take an active
part in the cause of stamping out the
disease in Michigan, and the response
that has so far been received shows
that as class Michigan manufacture
ers are fully alive to the economic
and social value Of healthy working
men. Enlisting the aid Of the manu-
facturers is new feature adopted by
DR.. VIM. DeKleine in the county cam
paigns against tuberculosis.
When the free clinics are held in a
county the manufacturers are asked
to send to these examinations those
of their men who they think need a
physical inventory They are asked
to send these men without cutting
their wages for the time put in at the
clinics. The men sent from the fac
torieh are given prompt attention by
the state diagnosisticians.
In this way it is aimed to help not
only individual sufferes but to
protect the other worKIngmen who
must associate daily with those af-
flicted. AS a rule the manufacturers
see that sending the men who are
run down physically is great benefit
to their institution, and their cooper
alton is, on the whole, very hearty.
In addition to sending their men to
the clinics the manufacturers are re-
ouested to provide for all their en-
ployees paper spitoons. They are re-
quested to put little wet saw dust
in these and to require their men TO
use them if spit they must. These
spittoons are to be burned each eyea-
ing and new ones are to replace them
in the morning. The cost of this is
very slight and if the system were
universally adopted there would lie no
danger IN having tuberculosis lndiv-
iduaIs work with other employees.
The sputum il almost the sole method
OF conveying the disease from one
person to another. A number of manu-
facturers have adopted this method,
and attempts will DE made to prevail
upon many more to do SO as the un-
ty campaigns progress.
The supreme court Of Wisconsin
has ruled that the death of a work
e: from typhoid caused by drinking
water Furnished b. the company is an
accident under the terms of the work
ingmen's compe ration act, said DR.
L. n..,e 1.-THE time will come when
case of tuberculosis in Michigan
traced to causes connected with the
place where a man work, will be class
ed in the same way. By adopting
the latest suggestions of the state
health workers the Michigan manu-
facturers are anticipating such a
measure. The principle that every
man has the right to work in whole
some surroundings is coming to be
generally recognized, and believe the
present health campaigns will help to
put this principle into practice"

Thawing Frozen Water Pipes

When the water freezes in the pipes
of house and the location of the
frozen part is known, fill water bag
with hot water and place it on the
frozen part, open the faucets to give
vent, and before the water in the bag
becomes cool the frozen part will be
thawed and the water running. This
method has been used to advantage
several times, and there is no danger
of starting a fire as when using a
gasoline torch.

Government Crop Report

Washington, ID. c., December Is,
l915.-A summary of estimates of
crop production and prices for the
State of Michigan, compiled by the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates land trans
mitted through the Weather Bureau),
U. S. Department of Agriculture, is
as follows:
Crop production in the state this
year aggregates in quantity about 0
per cent more than last year. Prices
on December l average per cent
higher than a year ago, making total
value of crop production, on this basis,
about per cent more than last year.
The estimates are based upon those
crops whose values in the last COM
plete crop census represented II per
cent of the value of all crops.
For the United States production
this year aggregates in quantity about
8 per cent more than last year. Prices
December l average l per cent lower
than a year ago, making total value
Of crop production on this basis about
per cent more than last year; these
estimates are based upon crops whose
value in the last complete crop CEN
sus represented II per cent of the
