Barnharts' Sentence Delayed.

The NEWS has already told that
the Barnhart boys were founc
guilty at the March term of court
on the third count in the indict.
ment; that their attorney, John
r. Jackson, asked leave of the
Court to present reasons why the
boys should have new trial, and
that the Court set Thursday,
April Goth to hear the reasons.
Last Thursday was the day set,
and Judge Mcpherson, and AS
sociates Stigers and Mellott were
in court to listen to the argu-
ment.
The third count in the indict-
ment upon which the jury found
the boys guilty, in part reads as
follows:
That the said Walter
Barnhart and Harry Barn
hart, afterwards to wit, on
the day and year aforesaid
October ID, 1915) at the

diction aforesaid, with force

the said Arthur Barnhart, did

wound, with intent himthe
said Arthur Barnhart, feloni-
ously, wilfully and Of their
malice aforethoughts kill and
murder"
The principal points in the ar
gument OF Attorney Jackson,
which lasted an hour and a half,
was:
Did the evidence at the trial
show beyond a reasonable doubt
that Walter Barnhart and Harry
Barnhart did intend to kill Ar
thur Barnhart?
From all the evidence in the
case, was the jury justified in
finding that Walter and Harry
intended to kill Arthur?
That he might have time for
careful and mature deliberation,
the Judge took the papers home
with him and will file his opinion
on the 10th day of May, when
there will be an adjourned ses-
sion of court.

DRUNKENNESS.
Little Talks 90 Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. o., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

NOnilllSSlOnSI vi ntulln.
Mans getting drunk is to be
likened unto the opening of the
draft doors under the fre-box Of
a locomotive and generating a
high steam pressure, opening the
throttle and letting everything
go until the machine is on a mad
race through town and country,
crushing whatever comes in the
way, let it be man or beast, or
maybe it will smash itself to a
helpless mass.
If the tracks are clear the ma
chine may run until its fire box,
the stomach, burns out or a steam
pipe, a blood vessel, bursts or a
valve gives way and the locomo-
tive Or the human body becomes
a useless wreck and a burden in
the way.
In the case of the locomotive
the suffering is confined to the
living beings it runs down, butt
man not only the beings he in
jures or destroys but he himself
suffers after he has irreparably
injured his physical body and
mental powers. He may lose an
arm, cripple his stomach, blood
vessels or mind, and become a
charge on bis family or the COM
munity.
In the case of the locomotive it
is only a piece of uncontrolled in
animate machinery, but in man
it often means setting to run
amuck piece of the most inven-
tive animal life ever recorded in
history. When drunk he may
spend his last cent on foolish
things and leave a hungry fami-
ly at his home. He may kill his
best friend, violate a trust, throw
a bomb, send a great passenger
ship to the bottom of the sea, or
even incite a war of Nations.
A drunken man is the most
dangerous demoralizing factor in
civilized life. The wild beast of
the forest is plaything in COM
parison. He sets all laws at
naught and becomes an instru-
ment of the devil. Man crazed
by any kind of mental over-exer-
tion or drunkenness, like a rabid
beast, is menace to every one
with whom he comes in contact.
The wild dash of the mind and
body during the stage of over
stimulation may be fascinating
to the individual but, when the
inevitable reaction comes, death
may ensue or sometimes that
which is worse, returning con-
sciousness bring realization of
a horrible crime committed nev-
er to be undone. At least body
and mind are weakened and less
able to control the insane desire
to exhilarate again and again un-
til untimely death ends a life
that might have been a boon to
humanity in some useful path
over which its race might have
been run.
Some temperaments become
sloth-llke and are obllVlouS to the
past and reckless as to what is to
come. In such the harm to them
and others comes through neg
lected duties.
Drunkenness is over stimula-
tion that destroys normal condi-
tions, it may even be occasioned.
by the psychology of a crowd.
There are various stimulants
that will make drunk.

LAUDS BEAVER ISLANDS
Noted New York Suffrasist and
Educator Says They Are The
Naples of America

New York, Sept. 2l.-Margaret ID.
Gillette, Of the Bernard school, an
ardent suffragette, has returned from
a trip to Michigan TO sing a song OF
glory to Beaver Islands. Forgetting
politics, she scores the people OF the
eastern part Of the United States for
their ignorance OF spot declared by
her to about equal anything to be found
anywhere else in the world.
'In the northern part of Lake Mich.
gan there is group Of islands known
as Beaver Islands that are positively
wonderful" says Mrs. Gillette.
"The sunsets there are the most
beautiful it has ever been my privilege
to gaze upon. The descending sun in
Italy, particularly at Naples, has been
written of in song and story, but after
seeing the sunsets ofthe Beaver Islands
| must say that nothing saw in Naples
could surpass those"

Fear of tuberculosis
Keeps People from Clinics

Perhaps the one thing that more than
anything else will restrain people from
coming to the free state board Of health
tuberculosis examinations that will be
held in this county in the near future
will be for to face the facts about thei !
physical condition. There is in mai,J'
people an unreasonable fear OF tu-
berculosis which, DR.. William DeKleine,
director Of the survey, declares, is
responsible for great deal OF real
harm. Many man who feels himself
run down is afraid to be examined for
fear that his suspicious that he may
have tuberculosis may prove correct.
Gear should not hold anyone back"
said Dr. DeKline. "a person who is
run down and who is told he has tuber-
culosis should be glad he has learned
the real state Of things in time. II he
takes the examination early enough he
has nine chances out of ten getting
we'll. Personally would rather have
tuberculosis than many another disease
that is lightly regarded, provided l
knew it in time. In fact, more people
get well from tuberculosis than from
almost any other important disease.
"But the point must be borne in mind
that the disease must be attended to
early. hope for that. reason that all
persons who are physically run down
will come IN the clinics when thew re
held here"

THE "0PTI0N' sUBTERFUGE
Tho Fight Must Be To A Finish In
The Good State Of Michigan.

The wet and dry petitions are on

that the biggest liquor fight In the
states history Is on. II will be a fight
to the finish, for the issue Is no lon
ger a question of whether the state
shall be all dry or partly drip, but of
whether it shall be all dry or virtually
all wet. says an editorial In the
