ed. At the meeting to be held Friday.

Total cash value products. $2S3 81
The hauling charges are exactly what
was paid for that service and are,
therefore. legitimate part of the
gross value of the milk. Besides the
milk sold to the condensary, as shown
above, the two cows furnished all the
milk used by family of three, which
would in all probability raise the total
value of their product for the year to
$500, which is certainly splendid rec
ord. We are informed the cows were
given no special attention during their
milking period. They received no en-
silage and no corn fodder, only suffi-
cient quantity of good, clean hay and
grain.

Important Proposal

The Standard Oil Co. has asked the
council of Clio for franchise allowing
it to establish and maintain a sup
ply station here. If the request is
granted, as seems likely, storage tanks
will be erected on the P. M. property
west of the depot and an agent and one
or two helpers will reside here. Local
merchants and those of several small
towns nearby will be supplied from this
station.

Farewell"

Farewell there is pathos in that word
Which time alone never satisfy;
conscious parting from the things that were
The sunshine and the cloud of days gone by
Farewell when mans true heart hath spoke that word
And turned him to the onward outlook broad;
Naught make up to him what he hath lost
Save Heaven and home, eternity and God.
And inward faith that there is FAREWELL
But just the semblance of thing that's not;
The drawing o'er the past time-made veil
Which the Almighty's hand had kindly wrought.
To keep men looking upward to the heights
Beyond whose cliffs eternal pleasures lie
Bathed in the glory of perfect light!
Kissed by the beauty of the bye and bye.
Farewell tits but the hunger in the soul
For mans salvation, and for Heaven above;
The craving for ransomed universe,
The Mind of Christ - the triumph and the love-

WHAT DEcAYED TEETH COST
Are More Injurious to the Health Of
Humanity Than Strong
Drink.

Decayed teeth are causing more
harm to the human race than alcohol.
DIR. Alfred c. Zones Of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says that approximately 95,000.-
600 Of persons In the United States
have decayed teeth, notes Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Dentistry's next step,
in his opinion, is to wipe out or pre-
vent tooth decay by a systematic cam
paign of education on the care Of the
teeth among schoolchildren.
How shall this be done? Bridge
ports plan has attracted wide atten-
ton already. Every child In that city
submits to a thorough examination Of
the mouth and is given free treatment.
This type Of clinic costs about so
cents per child per year. The city as
sumes one-half the responsibility In
educating and helping the children to
preserve their teeth. The other half.
which is placed on the child and its
parents, consists In providing proper
food and in caring for the mouth.

Beyond Three-Score Year,.

The untimely death of Sir Beer
bohm Tree, after an insignificant
operation following a slight injury to
his knee, might seem to give some
color to the old time tradition that
operations, however trivial, done on
patients over 90 years of age, may
be followed by serious consequences.
There is. however, no good reason
in present-day experience for any
such conclusion.
The tradition comes to US from the
older time when post-operative infec-
tfons were common and all opera tons
were likely to be serious. This was
particularly true for older folk be-
cause resistive vitality against in
fection is lower as a rule as the
years advance. But in our time men
OF 20 and even 80 are often subjected
to operations even of considerable
extent, and stand them very we'll
when no infectious complications
ensue.
There was doubtless in the great
English actors case some other ele-
ment besides the operation as the
immediate cause OF the fatal termi-
nation, probably some special factor
acting directly on an already some-
what affected heart.-New York Her.

Bathing Season Reaches Climax
Many People Enjoy Surf.

Cape May, N. j., July H.-On this
anniversary OF the fall Of the Bastiie,
Cape May was In military spirit and
the French tricolors, the British Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes foated
together against the breeze this morn
ing when there was an exhibition drill
and parade Of the Naval Reserve unit
from the Cape May base. The 700 MEM
bers OF this unit in charge of Comdr.
Frederick A. Savage marched up the
beach front boulevard to the lawn of
the site of the old Stockton Hotel
opposite Convention Hall and ocean
pier and there gave battalion exhibi-
tion drill The American colors was
presented to them with a speech by
Judge James NJ. E. Hildreth, for the
committee of ladies of which Mrs.
George w. Boyd. of Philadelphia, is
chairman. Every week there is to
be an exhibition drill and the colors
presented today will be passed from
battalion to battalion as a mark of
honor for the best drilling done dur
ing the preceding week.
In all evening social events, particu-
larly at the dances. navy blue and
white Is prominent. A large number
of the Naval Reserve Corps unit here
are from the best of families of Balti-
more, Philadelphia and narly 40 per
cent of the members are college grad
yates.
1t has been arranged for Friday
nights during the remainder OF the
season to open the auditorium of the
Pier and Convention Hall for dancing
and in this hall where 5000 people
can be Seated comfortably there is
plenty OF floor space for dancing.
Tine bathing season has reached its
ordinary ratio and from II to o'clock
the ocean Is thick with people enjoy
ing this healthful recreation. Unlike
many OF the resorts, the evenness of
the beach and its gradual decent under
the water makes the use of life lines
unnecessary and the only necessary
protection is the beach life guard who
is there more as a part of the police
force than sn attempt to save from
drowning. 1t has been four years
since Cape May has had a case of
drowning from surf bathing.
