opening of cases of men already in is
interfering with the training.

cause sunlight and proper ventilation
are the enemies of tuberculosis, and
because life in the trenches and dug.
outs of Europe tends to spread the
disease, the war department has order
ed that every man in the Eighty-fifth
division at Camp Custer be tested for
tuberculosis symptoms.
If the slightest tendency to tuber-
culosis is found the man will be in
stantly discharged from the service,
not only for his own good, but for the
protection of his companions.
This work will be done by specially
appointed boards. Four boards will do
the work. Each board is made up of
three men and It is expected that two
months will be needed to complete ex-
aminations.
The boards are composed of officers
from the medical reserve corps and

FOR INCREASING LAMB CROP.
Right Handling of Ewes Important at
This Season of Year.

Measures which Michigan sheep
men can adopt to increase their focks
are pointed out in bulletin released
this week by the department of ami
NAL husbandry of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college.
"With lamb prices as they are, and
the demand for mutton and wool con-
tinuing as it seems to be, it is i'm
portant both from the standpoint of
patriotism and sound business that
every method Of proved value within
reach of the livestock man be en-
ployed to increase the 1918 lamb
CROP" so the bulletin reads.
Zone means of encouraging the
bearing of ewes of larger number
OF lambs is that of flushing them just
before breeding time. Though not
much used in Michigan, the method is
nevertheless recognized by old shep-
herds as good one.
Flushing means granting or lib
orally feeding the ewes for short
time before turning in the ram, so as
to make the females especially thrifty
and rapidly gaining in flesh at the
time of service. 1t has been found
that where this is done that more
ewes give birth to twins than is the
case when they are on poor feed at
the breeding time. 1t increases both
the number of lambs and makes more
Of them come during the first three
weeks of the lambing period.
"Ewes need not be grained all
winter where plenty of good clover
hay or other satisfactory roughage is
fed, but more satisfactory results will
be obtained if they are fed well
enough to keep them from shrinking
in weight between the breeding and
Landing seasons. The careful shep-
herd will be well repaid for the trou-
bic of seeing to it that his ewes re-
ceive sufficient feed at this time of
the year.
"Sheep are often pastured even
into early winter and they will do
well there if they really secure enough
food. Frosted grass, however, some
times bloats the animals, causing
them to look full and we'll when ac-
tually they are hungry and losing
flesh at time when they should be
most thrifty. A few pumpkins scat
tered in the pasture, oats once day,
or some other additional feed, will
often give much greater returns than
will the same food fed at any other
time of the year..

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation
By the Governor.

Thanksgiving Day is peculiarly an
American festival. For generations
the American people have observed
it. The old New England Thanksgiv-
ing Day dates back, we are told, to
1922; and we still delight in it. 1t
is a joyous homecoming for the scat
tered members of the family. They
gather under the old roof-tree to
feast and make merry. We go to
church and give thanks to Almighty
God for all his blessings and mercies.
Today, we as nation have to face
not only the problem Of preserving
our own sacred liberties, but Of max
ing the world safe place to live in
for the small nations as well as the
great. We have gone to war for this
righteous purpose. 1t is purpose
worthy of our history and our best
traditions. And may we not be thank
full for the sturdy manhood and the
splendid womanhood that are ready
to make the supreme sacrifice for the
sake of human rights and human
freedom?
May God strengthen our arm and
increase our courage, and may He
keep us constant and steadfast until
the victory shall be won.
Therefore, / Albert f. Sleeper,
Governor Of the State of Michigan,
do hereby join the President of the
United States in designating "Thurs-
day, the twenty-ninth day Of Novem-
Der next, as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer"
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, this fifteenth day
Of November, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and seven

CHEAPER SUGAR IS PROMISED
Prescott Says Retail Price Should Not
Be over 8La Cents.

Lansing-Sugar should retail In
Michigan at not more than eight and
one-half cents per pound, according to
George A. Prescott, state food admin
lstrator.
The head of one of Michigan's larg
est sugar plants is authority for the
same statement.
1.-The wholesaler pays s7.35 per hun
dred pounds and is allowed 10 per cent
commission under the government or
der, said this official. The retailer
therefore can we'll afford to sell sugar
at eight and one-half cents and reap
\ profit that will be sufficient"
Recently Mr.. Prescott sent an in
vestigator to Lansing grocers to In
luire the price of sugar. The price
varied from eight and one-half to
twelve cents per pound, showing plain
ly that some retailers were looking for
profit far in excess Of reason.
The average production of sugar in
Michigan is given at 100000, 900
pounds, of which 100,000,000 pounds
Is necessary for state consumption
It is understood that the federal de-
partment will issue an order that
Michigan must get its share before
foreign shipments are made. There
shall be no sugar famine in this state,
say sugar manufacturers and state
food authorities.
Retailers will be prevented from
boosting prices through the announce
ment of prices of foodstuffs that con.
sumner should pay. Wholesalers will
be ordered to cease sales to retailers
who do not adhere to such prices
