While in pursuance of his duties as
county agent, week or so ago, w. r.
Hopkins came across a strange and
pitiable case near Brent Creek A well
to do farmer had become involved ir
some difficulty with his wife which re-
suited in the latter retiring to a room
upstairs where, in company with a
young daughter, she had remained for
six months at the time of Mr.. Hopkins
visit, the condition of the room being
something almost inconceivable. The
mother would not let the child go down
stairs to eat and as consequence she
had suffered greatly from lack of
proper food. Mr.. Hopkins interviewed
the father, who said that he was per-
fectly able and willing to provide for
his family if the mother would permit,
and the neighbors and physician who
gave it as their opinion that the mother
was insane. This led to hearing of
the matter in court which later resulted
in the unfortunate woman being sent to
an asylum for treatment.

Considerable attention has been giver

Considerable attention has been given
In this country to the case of doctor
who recently died as result of "sleep-
sng sickness. a strange malady brought
on by being bitten by tsetse fly while
ne was in Africa. We do not have the
tsetse fly in Clio. nor in Michigan, but
we have people who seem to sleep for
interminable periods, unfortunately
without fatal result. Some of those
most deeply afflicted are young men
who spend their time soaking up free
heat around different lounging places
instead of getting out and using their
muscles at some kind of labor, as BELTS
a real man. 1t fly could be found to
bite some of these idlers and wake
them up it would be blessed good
thing. otherwise it would be fortunate
If they could connect with the business
end of tsetse. The world belongs to
the living and not to the dead, and the
man or young man, who is unwilling to
live by means of the exercise of his
own industry is unworthy to live at all.
He is mere social parasite whose
scheme of existence is not whit more
exalted than that of the louise. Indus
try, the desire to labor, lies behind
every comfort, mental or material, that
renders life worth living. 1t is an obi
cation incumbent upon all, rich or poor,
high or low, and the man or woman,
in possession of health and strength,
who does not by constructive labor add
TO the sum total of human achievement
is a mere social clod unworthy of re-
spect and difficult of federation. In
euloglzing labor DR.. Henry VanDyke
gave voice to this sentiment, as beauti-
ful as it is true:
80 The Lord of love came down from above
To dwell with the men that work.
This is the rose that he planted
Here in this sin cursed soil:
Heaven is blest with perfect rest
But the blessing of earth is toll.

Lepers Allowed to Mate.

The Russian Medical council has
given permission for lepers to marry
with each other, but not with healthy
mates. The Lancet remarks that as
the birth-rate among lepers is very
low, the percentage Of infant leprosy
is only about FIVE per cent. But, II
adds, 1T is imperative that arrange
ments be made in advance, and the
reasons carefully explained before
hand to the leprous parents, to re-
move at once any newly born infant
from the custody Of its mother to a
distant home provided by the authori-
ties where the child may grow up
without danger OF acquiring the infec'
tion from it's maternal parent"
For leprosy is not believed to be
hereditary, but the intimate contact
between a mother and a nursing baby
is the surest means OF conveying the
infection.

President Wilson has nominated Louis
Brandeis, Boston lawyer, to the place
on the Supreme bench made vacant by
the death of Justice Lamar. Mr..
Brandeis is of Jewish parentage, a
graduate of Harvard University, and
admittedly one of the brainiest and
most erudite men of his profession in
the country He has directed or assist
ed in the prosecution of several great
corporations which were using their
immense resources to circumvent the
laws of their country. and has been
prominent in securing the remainder of
our national resources, timber, coal
and mining lands, and water rights
from exploitation by private sharks.
He has been a virile advocate of the
square deal for the more humble con-
stituents of our citizenship. All of
which has caused him to be branded as
a Socialist by those who do not wish
entrenched or covetous privilege to be
in any wise thwarted. These interests
it has been feared will be able to mus
ter enough strength in the senate to
prevent Mr.. Brandeis' confirmation.
For the honor of our common country
we hope this apprehension is unfound-
ed. MIR Brandeis is in every way
f.ted for the position and nothing but
sinister motives can stand in the way
of his confirmation. The Supreme
Court. like every other branch of our
government, should represent the CO.'S
mopoIitan life of our people: If Mr..
Brandeis is man of brilliant intellect,
bat plebian sympathies, he ought to be
exceptionally valuable in a body that
siuce it's inception has almost invariably
been composed of men who by birth,
training or association. have been iden-
t.isd with aristocratic interests. Even
the courts should have hearts as well
ss brains, and Brandeis, like Lincoln,
may be none the less valuable to the
commonwealth, because of his demo-
cratic personality.

continued, by making a canvass of
it's neighborhood each summer to flnd
the children who have reached school
age and to urge their parents to start
them to school. The law of the Dis
trict does not require that a child at
tend school until he is eight years old,
and parents do not always appreciate
the value of starting their children as
early as possible.
The settlement has had much sue

II is urged upon them to let the chill
dren continue their schooling after
they reach fourteen years, whenever
