Health of First Importance.

Exuberant health is better than
riches and power to a man; indeed it
often leads to their attainment. In
fact nothing is of greater Importance,
and there are few things regarding
which we know less practically speak
ing. Quackery, usage and superstition
have made us suspicious of health
talks and health-giving nostrums. Such
vagueness surrounds the whole subject
that you will hardly find two persons
to agree upon the general rules gov
erning physical health.

Germany has offered her terms

recent peace proposal is nothing
hut trap set for separate peace
with some of the nations now
fighting them, and being success
full in this with perhaps Russia,
and Italy, she will give her prompt
attention in subduing France, then
England and finally the rest of
them. However, the Allies smell
he nigger in the wood pile and do
not seem to bite on this new bait.
A nation whose aspiration is world
dominance and which considers
greements as scraps Of paper, is
not honest and cannot be trusted

CHURCH AT ELMDALE

William l.. Halliday of this city
is serving the Congregational church
in Elmdale as it's pastor, and goes
there every Saturday, remaining over
the Sabbath.
The church has been without a.
pastor for some time and Rev. J. w.
Sutherland, of Lansing, who looks
after the pastorless churches in this
district, got into communication with
Mr.. Halliday, and the members at
Elmdale and recommended that he
supply the place. He is meeting
with good success and holds services
both morning and evening and also
assists in the Sunday school.
Although a member of the Free
Methodist church, Mr.. Halliday is
willing to give his time and talents
so far as he is able to the work of
the Master in any field that he may
be called to labor in.

TOWN LINE BRIDGE
Is BEING REPAIRED

The townline bridge between the
township of Eureka in Montcalm
county, and Otisco in Ionia county,
is being repaired, and put in first
class condition. 1t will practically
be new bridge. Steel and iron gir-
ders will be placed on the old piers,
and three-inch white oak plank will
be used for the floor.
The work is in charge of George
Perry, highway commissioner of
Eureka township, and John F. Kohn,
commissioner of Otisco.
The expense of construction will
be borne equally by each township,
and the estimate of expense is about
5000.
Mr.. Kohn and Mr.. Perry were in
the city Tuesday having the oak
plank taken from the car and hauled
to the bridge. The carload was pur-
chased in Forest City, Kansas recent
ly at $35 per thousand.

STARTS DAMAGE CASE
AGAINST TOWNSHIP
WANTS S4O0 DAMAGE

The township of Otisco will be
obliged to defend a suit against it,
brought by Archie Chickering for
damages to his automobile.
Mr.. Chickering claims that while
his brother, George, was driving his
car one day in April it was injured
while crossing the culvert on the road
a short distance north of Cooks
Corners, which it is claimed by him
was badly out Of repair and when his
car struck the tile the damage to it
resulted.
Archie laid the matter before the
township board asking compensation
but after investigating the officials
concluded that if there had been any
injury to the car it was the drivers
fault and the township was not re-
sponsible for any damage.
Last week through his attorney, R.
A. Hawley, he began suit in the cir
cult court claiming damage in the
sum of four hundred dollars and the
preliminary papers were served on
Supervisor Chas. Brink citing the
board to appear and defend the suit.
The case it is expected will be
brought on for trial at the next
term of court.

REV. DO0LITTLE TELLS
OF MISSIONARY WORK

j. o. Doolittle of Bellevue gen.
eral missionary of the American
Sunday school union, has been in the
city few days in the interest of that
society. He gave some interesting
and spiritual talks at the Congrega-
tional, Methodist and Baptist
churches Sunday and outlined his
duty in the line of looking after the
need of missionary people, who are
living in isolated parts of the coun-
try without the advantages of
church or Sunday school training.
His business is to set in motion, if
possible, forces to establish and main
tain Sunday schools in such places.
He gave many instances of localities
in Michigan and Ohio and other
states where the gospel has never
been preached and a Sunday school
never heard of, while the children of
parents in these outlying and neg
lected districts were eager for a
chance to learn and the parents to
hear the gospel preached. He made
it very clear that there was mission
airy work to be done right at our
very door.

MORRIS LIE VAC WAS
PLACED ON PROBATION

Morris LeVac was brought before
Justice A. L. Spencer Monday on a
warrant charging him with the lar
ceny of some money from the home
of Richard B. Cowles. On his plea
of guilty he was given some good
advice by Mr.. Spencer and as Mr..
Cowles desired to be lenient with the
young man he was placed on proba-
ton for two years.
A new furnace was being installed
at Mr.. Cowles' home on Bridge
street and LeVac, who was assisting
Mr.. Smith in the work, was sus-
pected of the theft, but strenuously
denied the charge. Marshal Megin-
ly was called to the house and his
search of the young man revealed
some of the money in his shoes and he
confessed taking it from pocket
book in a dresser drawer, where it
was kept by Mr.. Cowles.
Morris is only nineteen years old
and he says this is a lesson to him,
and will never again be tempted to
90 wrong.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAv0R
MEETING INTERESTING

At the Christian Endeavor meet
ing in the Congregational church
Sunday evening Lee Mason, the newly
elected president, had charge and
gave an outline of the work that
should be accomplished and might
be brought about the coming year,
if every member would work loyalty
and energetically for the success. to-
ward that end. He called on the
other officers and chairman of the
different committees and each re-
sponded with word of encourage
ment.
One member suggested the slogan:
"One Hundred Members on April
First"
The Christian Endeavor topic for
the meeting was "Big Jobs waiting
You" "There are big jobs waiting
you, young man, young woman. You
need not spend any time looking for
them! They will look for you if you
are doing your present work faith
fully and well. The world is con-
stantly- advertising for men who
know how. If you have any vision of
the work which waits in Gods world
you will be using every moment of
these precious days to equip your
self in body, mind and soul for your
position of serving and leadership.
Christ's Kingdom needs Christian
statesmen, men who have vision of
His plan for the world and who will
seek to carry it out in their genera
tion. There are many wrong things
to be righted, many lives to be COM
forted and helped. If you go about
"doing good" as did the Lord Jesus,
you will daily find enough to do"
