To Discard Freckles,
 Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles

The use of creams containing animal substance sometimes causes hair to grow. You run no risk of acquiring superfluous hair when you use ordi- nary mercolized wax. There is nothing better for discolored skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offensive cuticle. The latter is naturally replaced by a clear, smooth, healthy complexion, full of life and expression. It's the sensi- ble way to discard freckled skin. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any druggists and apply nightly like cold cream, erasing in the morning with soap and water. It takes week or so to complete the transformation.
 The ideal wrinkle remover is made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution brings almost instantaneous results.-Adv.

MIR. Bodine is one of the oldest mer-
chants in Clio in point of continuous
service, having conducted store for
himself for more than twenty years
twenty years last New Years day. to be
exact. He was born in Clio, Jan. %,
1872, attended the public schools for
time, and when fourteen years of age
entered the employ of John Nixon, a
druggist, in the store now occupied by
Ed L. Beeman. Later he was with b. +.
Huyck for eight years, and then en-
tered the employ of the veteran mer-
chant, J. X. Frost, with whom he re-
mained a year before embarking in
business for himself. Mr.. Bodine's
first store was in the building now
occupied by w. K. Frost, then for five
years he was in the building now occu-
pied by Harry Price, following which
he moved to his present location where
he has built up fine business, owning
the store in which it is located and the
one adjoining on the west. In all, Mr..
Bodine has been engaged for nearly
thirty years, as clerk and proprietor,
in the drug trade in Clio, and has
always enjoyed first-class reputation
for sound enterprise and unfailing in
tegrity. He has, moreover, always
been a public-spirited citizen, and will
carry with him, upon retirement, the
best wishes of very large circle of
friends and patrons. We are glad to
announce that Mr. and Mrs. Bodine will
continue to make their home in Clio.
Mr.. Robertson, who succeeds Mr..
Bodine in business, would seem to have
every qualification for success. He is
an experienced pharmacist, thoroughly
familiar with the retail drug trade, and
for the last few years haS~Nppied a
very responsible position yelling
salesman with the UniteNDN Com
pany, one Of the largest concerns of its
kind in the country, from which he re-
signed only through desire to be en-
abled to spend more of his time at
home. Mr.. Robertson and wife will,
in the near future, occupy the John Car
ter home on the west side of town.

Famous Law Suit Settled

The majority of readers of The Mes
senger are more or less familiar with
the fact that for the last four years, or
thereabout, series of law suits have
been pending between Chas. H. May. of
Detroit, formerly a banker of this
place, on the one hand, and j. Bacon
and his sons, Samuel, William and
Mark, on the other. These suits in
volved numerous mortgages and loans
covering nearly a thousand acres of
land and large quantity of personal
property, owned by the Bacons, and
were so complicated that almost end
less litigation has at times seemed a
possibility. Happily, all these matters
were brought to settlement, last Fri
day, in Flint, when The Union Trust
Company, of Detroit, acting for Mr..
May, and attorneys representing the
Messrs. Bacon, got together and ar
ranged terms that were accepted by
the principals on both sides. Just what
the terms of settlement are we do not
know, but they incluce, we are in
formed, the funding of all the obliga-
tions by = certain ba.A in Flint and the
retenti1t of the titles to the various
properties by the Messrs. Bacon.

Depot Catches Fire

A very unusual train of circumstances
resulted in fire at the P. M. depot on
Wednesday evening. Some one, it ap-
pears, had set an ancient umbrella in a
corner of the waiting room, and then
someone else carelessly dropped a
match or burning cigar into the open
folds of the umbrella with the result
that it caught fire, which was in turn
communicated to the building. AS the
fire took place in portion of the room
of which the operator in charge could
not get view, it gained considerable
headway before being discovered and
burned through one entire corner of the
building before it was extinguished.
The fire company was promptly on the
scene, however, and conquered the
blaze in few moments after the water
was turned on. The utility of the
water main laid in the street last year
was also strikingly demonstrated.
There were those among the observers
of the fire who were heard to say that
aside from heeeverence they felt for
the depot as a precious relic of the dim
and misty past. they would have been
just as well suited if the old umbrella.
after starting something, had stuck to
it's time honored function of keeping off
the water.

Make me child again just for tonight
Mother come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart, as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep,
Rock me to Sleep mother, rock me to sleep.
Backward flow backward tide of the years
am so weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recompense tears all in vain
Take them and give me my childhood again!

Weary of finging my soul-weath away;
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep.
Tired of the hollow. the base the untrue
Mother, mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer the grass has grown green
Blossomed and faded, our faces between;
Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and so Deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Over my heart in the days that are flown
No love like mother-love ever has shone;
No other worship abides and endures-
Faithful unselfsh and patient like yours.
None like mother charm away pain,
From the sick soul and the word-weary brain.
Slumber's soft calm DER my heavy lids Creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again. of old;
Let it drop over my forehead tonight
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with it's sunny edged shadows once more
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yore;
Lovingly softly, it's bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, MOTHER rock me to Sleep
Mother dear mother, the years have been long
Since l last listened your lullaby song.
Sing then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhoods years have been only dream.
Clasped to your breast in a loving embrace
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, MOTHER rock me to Sleep

Improved Telephone Service

1t should be matter of much graft
fication among the patrons of the VAL
ley Home Telephone Co., that within
the past few weeks arrangements have
been perfected for an extension of toll
service between Clio and the exchanges
of Montrose, Dawson, Swartz Creek
and Grand Blanc and Rankin. By this
means local patrons of the Valley Com
pany can now talk with fifteen hundred
more people than formerly, and we are
told that the new service is prompt and
satisfactory in every way. The local
exchange of the Valley Company has
always given good service and with
the additions noted above it is going to
be better than ever before.

OUR EXCHANGES
Brevities Relating to People, Matters
and Things in This Section
of Michigan

The Flint police did an act last week
that caused gloom and sadness thicker
than the mud on Saginaw St., to settle
down upon the votaries of Bacchus.
In the first place they emptied so cases
of beer and twenty gallons of whisky
into the sewer and then they destroyed
gambling paraphernalia that had been
seized, valued about $4,000.
An unusually interesting point was
brought out by Deputy Superintendent
of Public Instruction Munson at the
meeting of county school directors held
in Flint, Monday. in which he pointed
out that native born American woman
loses her citizenship when she marries
an unnaturalized foreigner. B. S. Jen-
nings attended the meeting as a repre-
sentative of the school board of Clio.
Minor Blackmore, the Dawson man
who not long ago figured in an automo-
bile accident which resulted in the
death of Josephine Garbratt, a Sagi-
nav girl, is on trial in the circuit court
this week charged with manslaughter.
AS is usually the case, booze cut con-
siderable figure in the tragedy. and
has involved the breaking up of Black
more 8 home.
A summary of the work of the police
department of Flint for 1915, published
in the Flint Journal. indicates that
there were l, ,449 arrests for drunken
ness in that city within the year. There
were 1873 arrests for violation of the
local option law. Of these latter fifty
two were settled at the December term
of the circuit, court in fifty of which
Prosecuting Attorney Bishop secured
convictions or the accused entered pleas
of guilty.
Owen Schultz, fourteen year old
Laingsburg boy, was accidentally shot
and instantly killed last week by his
brother while the two were on a hunt
ing expedition. The younger boy was
engaged in poking rabbit from hole
and Strengthened up just in time to re-
ceive in his head the full charge of shot
which his brother at that moment fired
at the fleeing rabbit. The boy lived
about two hours and his brother is
nearly crazed with grief.
! Following an initiative taken by
Judge of Probate Swayze, who is also
judge of the juvenile court, it is likely
that the Board of Supervisors will sub
NIT to the voters of the county plan
to provide $40, 900. 90 detention home
for dependent or delinquent children.
The judge points out that there is at
present no institution where such chill
dren can be properly cared for, as the
state public school at Coldwater is in
tended mainly for the mentally defic-
lent. This enterprise is most worthy
one and will doubtless be approved by
the electors when it comes up for ac-
ton. BY providing proper educational
advantages for such children, including
manual training, the county will be
fitting them for careers of respectable
ity and usefulness rather than allowing
them to grow up to become the culture
Lcenters of broods of mendicants and
criminals.

The best previous record for the $685.
consecutive-days' butter test was held
by Finderne Pride Johanna Rue 12l083.
She produded 642 pounds more milk.
but it contained 28.62 pounds less but
ter than the amount accredited to the
new champion.
Duchess Skylark Ormsby 1245l4, who
now holds the worlds record regardless
of age, class or breed, was bred by R.
B. Young. of Buffalo Center, N. Y,
and is owned by John r. Irwin, of
Minneapolis, MINI. Her sire is Sir
Ormsby Skyark 47OlO, and her dam is
Oakhurst Duchess Clothilde 106988, by
John of Barneveldt 1886, a bull that
was imported in dam in 1908.
The new champion butterfat pro-
ducer was born Oct. 81, 1909, and
freshened at the age of five years and
three days. Throughout the test she
was cared for by Axel Hansen, and
never missed a feed, never required the
services of a veterinary, and was never
fed anything but ordinary commercial
COW feeds.
Certainly this wonderful "Black-and-
White" COW shows an attractive profit
on the years ledger account, for to her
production of $500 worth of commercial
butter must be added the enormous
amount of skim milk and the value of
her calf. 1t is an achievement which
will greatly please all lovers of Hol-
stein -Friesian cattle.
