How to Hang the Flag

Now that the Stars and Stripes float
from hundreds of residences and the
patriotic citizens are making a dis
play every day Of the flag which
formerly was floated to the breeze
only on national holidays and special
events many persons are asking for
information regarding the correct
way to hang the flag, particularly
when it is used as a banner and de-
tached from the staff.
The right way to hang the flag as
a banner, according to Mrs. l.. Victor
Seydel, who has consulted the best
authorities in response to many in
auiries received, is this:
when the flag is used as banner
the union (stars) should fly to the
north in streets running east and
west or to the east in streets rum
ming north and SOUTH"
An inverted flag when hung from
the staff as banner, is a distress
signal and always interpreted such in
the army and navy, therefore unless
the correct position is known one may
unconsciously be flying distress sig
nal. The flag hung as banner sus-
pended between trees on the lawns af-
fords an effective decoration as well
as a patriotic symbol.-Press.

Talks on Thrift

1t is trite saying that thrift nee
essitates self-denial and that the pos
session of a savings account imposes
the obligation to surrender many
things that are desired. But the pos
session of savings account is mere
ly one form in which thrift expresses
itself. Thrift means preparedness. 1t
means adherence to orderly processes
of thought and action. 1t means calm
calculation of the relation of income
to outgo and the discernment of the
necessity and the advantages in every
penny that is spent.
The thrifty man or woman does not
buy what is not needed. He takes ac-
count of the future. He measures the
uncertainties of human existence. He
realizes that sickness and unemploy-
ment are among the inevitable ac-
compartments of existence. He makes
provision against the day of want and
looks forward to the condition in
which those who are dependent on
him will be when he dies.
The thrifty man also takes account
of the larger matter of citizenship
and his relation to society. He is in
a position to insist on the economical

if he conducts his own affairs in an
economical way. He has sense of
responsibility as a contributor to in
dustrial progress that makes him a
better citizen and if, in the end, he
prefers to use the savings bank as a
convenient place in which to accumu-
late funds and then to invest them as
his own judgment directs, he becomes
tot, M ha
trial advance fthe nation and as
sumes directly the control of the cap
ital he produces.
Specifically it may not seem cor
rect conclusion to assert that thrift
finds its first demonstration in the
possession of a savings account, but
it does. Such a possession is the first
step toward the goal of real achieve
ment and it leads to independence and
belief in the ability to conduct ones
own affairs.

Hong Kong. China, were inspected by
the Grand Rapids customs Office Fri
day. The shipment valued at about
$4,000 was destined for the Ypsilan-

The cutting of the rattan is likely in
the near future to give employment to
400 or 500 people at the Ionia factory.
There are now dozen or more Ionia
made machines installed and cutting
the rattan from its natural state into
various sizes and shapes used in the
local manufacture of reed furniture.

HARVEST FESTIVAL.

In accordance with Jewish calendar,
Wednesday, June Z, will be celebrated
all over the country by Jewish congre-
cations, as the Jewish Pentecost or
Feast of the Weeks (Shebouth). The
name Of the celebration is derived from
the fact that seven weeks have passed
since the second day of the Passover.
Biblical history teaches that the day
was originally observed from an agri-
cultural standpoint, in reality the &C.
casion is a season of thanksgiving for
the harvests that had been reapedd, be-
ginning with the barley harvest and
continuing until the wheat harvest of
the summer. The ceremonial offerings
were in keeping with the God-given
gifts of the sail, as had been gathered
Further in post biblical times the feast
was observed as anniversary of the
birth of Judaism and the promulga-
ton OF the divine law at Mount Sinai.
The rabbis called it the day of giving
the law" The reading or the ten com
inandments constituted part of the
exercises in the synagogs. 1t is this
historical aspect of the observance
that is used to emphasize the non-ag-
ricultural life the Jews we're com
PEELED to live for centuries.
The agricultural side of the geast,
however has been lost sight of and the
nearest approach to this now is the
decoration of the home and synagog
with ported plants and flowers in the
season.

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps Us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incomhns-
tible material in the form OF ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a GER
tain amount of indigestible material,
which if not completely eliminated
from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-
like poisons are formed and sucked in
to the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation Of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary canal
clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, billiousness, constipation
others who wake up with bad taste
foul breath, headache, rheumatic stiff
ness, have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be,
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do. Just
as soap and hot water celanses, sweet
ems and freshens the skin, so hot
water and limestone phosphate act on
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

WE AWAIT THE OUTCOME.

The people of Georgia will await
with more than eager interest the out
come of the case to be tried in the Cir
cult Court of Appeals involving the
disposal of more than $3O,OOO.yorth Of
whiskey.
This case is the outcome of the seiz-
ure of this large amount of whiskey by
the sheriff of Coffee county. The sher-
if was enjoined from destroying this
whiskey and the trial of the case, the
attorney for the railroad seeking the
Injunction stated that he would con-
tend that the Georgia prohibition law
was unconstitutional. When the at
tcrney made this statement Judge
Speer before whom the case was being
heard Immediately closed the case and
announced that it would have to be
heard before three judges, as the law
demanded this. The three judges be-
fore whom the case is to be heard are
Judge DON A. Pardee, of Alabama,
Judge Newman also of Alabama and
Judge Speer.
How the outcome could be other THAI
favorable to the prohibition interest is
hard to conceive. Still the people will
sit on the anxious seat until the ques-
ton is finally decided.
We are not lawyers but to our way
of thinking under the law as enacted
goods shipped into the state in open
violation of law Immediately becomes
contraband and property rights cease
to exist. therefore, it seems to US that
8 sheriff would have a perfect right to
seize and destroy as the law directs.
