WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
II any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oif-food In Scott's Emulsion which Is a
medicinal food and a building tonic, free
fromalcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.

The Editor of the Detroit Journal taking pity on the
Silent and Craven Professed probonsts who Afraid to

amendment clause that would stop the Shipping OF Liquor
into Michigan, ventures to say:
ITO importation would be necessary to invoke
Federal aid"
It would not be to do anything Of the kind

hibs the shipment transportation in any by
whatsoever Of sptuous matted vnous fermented
intoxicating liquor Of any kind from foreign
country from place subject to the jurisdiction Of the
United States into any State territory district locality

any shipment of liquor into Michigan could be stopped by
State law that should declare such shipment unlawful On

God Hates A Coward

dare the Protested prohibonists to come out from
under the log and tell the people Of Michigan why clause
was not added to the proposed amendment that would
stop merely the manufacture Of liquor in Michigan but
also the Shipping Of liquor into this state?
The proposed amendment not prohibition amendment
While it would stop manufacture Of liquor in this state;
while it would destroy to 100000 worth OF
property; while it would destroy Of
year. thus bringing about increase In taxes and
huge reduction in real estate value; while It would rob
Labor- Would Not prevent shipping Of liquor into

As lawyer want to to fellow citizens that the
