Want $4,000 Damages.

Corunna, February 29-Alleging
that a spark from a passing train
started the fire that destroyed their
barn, silo and corn crib with their
contents, December 7, 1915, Mr..
and Mrs. Merle Shepherd of Owosso
township, have filed suit in the cir
cult court against the Grand Trunk
for $3.50. r. d. Matthews is their
attorney.
The Shepherds live about a mile
and half outside the city limits of
Owosso and the Grand Trunk tracks
cut through their farm. Their barn
is only few rods from the tracks.
On the afternoon in question both
barn doors were open.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Mrs. Shop
herd saw train pass and few min
utes later the children discovered
that the barn was on fire. The fire
had started in the side of the hay
NOV and the flames were climbing
upward so rapidly that in few min
utes the entire barn was a mass of
flames.
The plaintiffs say that a spark
from the engine was carried
through the barn doors by the wind,

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Pate nted Process is Responsible For
Its international Popularity.


Smokers 80 much appreciate the favor
and GOODNESS and aroma of Prince AL
bert pipe and Cigarette tobacco that
they often marvel that this one brand
could be so different from all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you will
read: process Patented July 30th,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and psrch,
which makes the tobacco 30 mighty
agreeable and satisfying to men of
every taste of every civilized nation on
the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years con-
tinuous work and study and fortune
in money to perfect. But the result
has proven to be worth all that was ex
pended upon 1t, because it has set free
men who believed they never could
enjoy pipe or makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process. leaving for the
smoker only the joys of the fragrant
tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago. it
has made three men smoke pipes where
one smoked pipe before!

FEDERAL CONTROL URGED FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
National Body Proposes Division OF
tuberculosis In United States
Public Health Service.

National Body Proposes Division OF
tuberculosis In United States
Public Health Service.
Participation of the Federal Govern
ment through the United States Public
Health Service in the study and control
of tuberculosis is urged by a resolution
adopted by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis made public today.
The National Association proposes
that by act of Congress special
division of tuberculosis be established
in the United States Public Health
Service with an adequate appropria.
ton. This division should be MAINE d
by experts and should study the
tuberc ulosis problem from every point
of view and should, so far as possible,
set up standards for the treatment and
prevention Of the disease throughout
the country. One of the problems
which it is proposed to study first
would be that of the INDECENT migra.
tory consumptive, particularly in the
health resorts of various parts of the
U nited States, such as California, New
Mexico, Colorado and Texas. Another
problem which it Is proposed should be
studied is that relating to the causes Of
tuberculosis A bill introduced by
Congressman Kent Of California In the
House and by Senator Norris of Ne.
braska in the Senate provides for some
of the things which the National
Association asks for and also for q
Federal subsidy to hospitals caring for
non resident consumptives.
Commenting on the resolution, DR..
Charles j. Hatfield, Executive Secrt-
tary Of The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of TubeI.
culosis, says: I'm spite of the fact
that tuberculosis is costing the United
States from $500, OtO 600 to 81, OOO 600. O, 0
every year in lives lost. the amount #
money being spent annually by all
private and public agencies is not much
more than $4,000, OOO and while a
nationwide crusade to stamp ont
tuberculosis has been organized, we
are still ignorant of many of the factors
that produce it. A few thousand dol
lars wisely spent in scientific research
under Federal supervision will secure
results OF incalculsble benefit to this
county,"

The most interesting part Of New
port is a small piece Of sand known
as Bailey's beach. We do not know
just why it is called Bailey's beach.
Perhaps because a man named
Bailey once owned it and dug clans
there. Just now, however, all the dig
ging that is done at Bailey's beach is
performed by fond fathers and more
or less fond husbands, who dig" to
foot the bills for the silk stockings
and short skirts worn on the beach.
The f. ifs and m. o. l. f. his hardly
ever go out on the beach. They
spend most Of their time in the high
ball laboratory of the casino.
There is a large slice of rather wet
ocean adjacent to Bailey's beach, but
it is no longer smart to use it extern
sively for swimming purposes. Any
way, what's an ocean between
friends?

FOUR CASES OF BOOZE
 SEIZED BY THE SHERIFF

TUCSON, Dec 29-As a result of a series of raids and near raids, and numerous trips about town, sheriff : deputies today uncovered leads, which it is reported may lead to the capture of several bootleggers. The stock of the bootleggers contained in four suit cases was conhscated in three different parts of the city ny members of the sheriff's force during the day, who in order to be surc that they mad missed none of the goods searched one party outright on the street.
 The man was driving past the court house in a light buggy in which was case marked eggs. The sheriff who, acting on some mysterious tip had located four parcels of contra band during the day, hailed the wagon and asked leave to examine the con tents of the egg case.
 Certainly, sir" said the man, and the sheriff proceeded to lift the lid of the case and go through the contents. They were found to be eggs as label led. and so the fifth consignment or liquor for which the authorities had been watching was not captured. In an effort to locate one more ship ment which the sheriff said he was sure would arrive, deputies watched the station for hours for the owner of a suspicious looking trunk, but no one appeared to claim it.
