WARNER FAv0RS
OBSERVANCE or
MEMORIAL DAY
BILL IN LEGISLA-
TURE TO COMPEL PROPER OBJ
SERVANCE OF GREAT DAY.

Representative Fred L. Warner of
this city who is now at Lansing at
tending the sessions Of the state leg
islature of which lower body he is a
member, is the sponsor of a bill,
which he introduced in the house on
Thursday which would forever elm
mate baseball games. horse racing,
circuses, carnivals, balloon ascensions
and other attractions on the anniver-
sary of Memorial day in order that
the day might properly be spent in
the observance of the one day in the
year which has been set aside to hon
or the nations hero dead. The bill
provided penalties of a fine of not
more than $3.50 nor Imprisonment for
not more than one year for violations
thereof should it become a law.
For a number of years back there
has been growing discomfort and
murmurings on the part of certain
people who thought that nothing in
the nature Of a sporting event should
take place on Memorial day and the
present bill, as proposed by Mr.. War
ner is perhaps an outgrowth CT this
agitation, which is known to have ex-
listed locally for some years. While
it will undoubtedly receive a lot OF
supporters in the legislature, it is
most certain to meet with opposition
and nothing definite is known as tc
what will become of the bill.
Mr.. Warner says that he may also
later on in the session introduce a bill
which will do away with the present
form of primary elections and which
may throw the nomination of candi
dates to office back to the old conven
tion system.
Mr.. Warner like many others is Of
the opinion that the primary system
is a failure and that where it wa'
intended to purify politics from party
bossism, it has only tended to throw
the control of the nomination of can
didates more sclfdly to the bosses
than ever and that while. the conven
tion system is bad enough, it is fai
better than the present primary sys
tenn which has been given a thorough
tryout and which is as thorough.
condemned as a rule, as a complete
failure.

BEFORE FEB. 4
IF THEY WISH TO HAVE VOICE
IN ELECTING CITY AND
COUNTY OFFICERS.

The ladies of the city and townships
hereabout must not fail to register
at their registration place either on
or before the 18th day of February,

the city election, which both fall on
the same date and will be held at she
same time-in April. This election
will follow the primary election which
will be held in March.
All that is necessary for the ladies
of the county to do is to go to their
township clerk, in case they reside
in one of the townships and to the
city clerk, in case they reside in the
city and request that they be regis
tered. This can be done at any time
before or on February III and should
be attended to before that date so
as to relieve whatever ckn,kestion

swered by the registrant are easy,
even the most delicate one-that re-
lating to the age Of the would-be vot-
er being so that it can be answered by
stating that you are over 21 years

are over Fl years old to be eligible
to register and vote.

zen ycu are entitled to register. The
city clerk or his deputy or the town.

courteously answer any questions
which you may ask.

DRINKING A GLASS
Of HOT Water IS
A SPLENDID HABIT
Cleanse and Sweeten the Sys-
TEN Each Morning and
Wash Away Poison
Gus, Stagnant
Matter.

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasy breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast
a glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it
to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract before eating more
food.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one fine appetite for breakfast. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
costs very little at the drug store,
but is enough to make anyone who is
bothered with biliousness, constipa-
ton, stomach trouble or rheumatism
an enthusiast on internal sanitation.
