The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1916-05-05

prisoner to the penitentiary In
1914. There are eighty-seven coun-
ties that did not send an insane pa
tient to the asylum In that year.
More than a dozen counties have not
called jury in ten years to try a
criminal case. Fifty-three counties
were without prisoners In their jails
that year, and twenty-eight counties
were without inmates in their aims
houses. The Kansas death rate is
the lowest in the world-7A for
each 1000 population. There are
more students in the colleges and
universities in proportion to the
population than any other state in
the Union. With a population of
LOO, 900 in round numbers, Kansas
has 500 prisoners in its penitentiary
or one for every 2,125 of our popu-
lation. Missouri, a license state adj
joining US, with a population of A.
5000, in round numbers, has g.
700 prisoners in round numbers, or
one for every 1,481 of her people.
OF the prisoners in the Kansas peni-
tertiary 40 per cent are floaters and
never lived in the state. At the
highest estimate not more than 500
should BE credited to the state, or
one for every 3,400 of our people.
The State bank commissioner
published his official statement un-
der date of March 24,1916, showing
the deposits in the 957 state banks,
four private banks, and eleven trust
companies to have been on that date
$141, 714,072.21. He also state that
the deposits in the 800 national
banks amounted to over 100000
900 a total of $242,000,O0O.
GAS an evidence that the people
are satisfied with prohibition I refer
you to the fact that two years ago
man of means and of good ability
and personal character ran for gov
ernor on re-submission platform
an an independent candidate. OIL
528, 006 votes cast on the governor
ship this man got 47,O21. There will
never be another effort along that
line.
THE state paid it's last debt of
$3.50, 900 last December. A recent
statement from the state treasurer
shows that he has loaned to the
banks $2,500,000 of surplus state
funds. The permanent school fund
has $10,000,000 and has carried all
state bonds for forty years. There
is not liquor bar in the state. We
have an automobile for every four
families. We are sober, prosper
GUS, happy people, and are raising
children without the accursed influ-
ence of the liquor traffic."
DR.. Peel, who has charge of the
Safety and Efficiency department for
the Anti-Saloon league, deals strict
ly with scientific education. She
spoke as follows:
We find the masses of today yet |
in the primary. classes of scientific |
education.
10 Safety firss,' mas become the
slogan of the world, but we ask to |
make it read sobriety first then SAT- |
ETY. always.
These words have set educators |
thinking and scientific experiments |
have followed and truths have been
established beyond doubt.
For example let US take look in
to these bodies of ours, and draw on
our imagination and get picture of
a human body under a constant
course of construction.
We will start with individual cell
life which is the complex basis Of
human life. Now for the putting to-
gether of these cells we must have
structural tissue so we use proto-
plasm, and you ask, what is proto-
plasm? 1t is the cement of the hui
man body, and is composed of four
namely albumen, pro-
teids, salt and water, all of which al
,ohol has a special affinity for. Now
IN order to have healthy cells, we
must have healthy protoplasm. We
have great armies of these cells.
They are professional If you please,
md attend strictly to their own
work.
We have bone cells who put up
Jul tHCh VIC hdNO luuoCiO Ctilo,
at cells, hair cells, nail cells and so
IN. All are busy each to his kind.
Now we must not forget this little
raft needs a power plant and
,ur little cells get busy and put in
,rain composed of white and gray
natter and then wire the entire sys-
EN-, then pumping plant is needed
some more cells get busy and put in
he heart and plum this little body
eady to irrigate it with blood. Again
We call out some more workers and
ell them we need ventilation and in
,oes the lungs, for here we send the
title red blood corpuscles for air
md oxygen. Now we find we need
furnace so we find another lot of
ellis putting in a stomach, and to ]
complete the picture we must have
leverage so we put in the aliment-
.ry canal.
Now our little body is complete
nd God in his great wisdom cuts |
he anchor and we have new being
Ishered into the world. The lungs 7
re automatically inflated, the open 7
ne hetween the two great ventricIes .
