Sprinkle Sulphur IN Your Shoe and
You'll Never Get the Flu.

The Negaunee Iron Herald OF De-
cember 9th contained another old
fashioned remedy for the fiu and to
the collection OF remedies including
the onion poultice we may now add
that OF putting sulphur in the shoes.
The appended article is taken from
the Herald:
Sprinkle sulphur in your shoe and
you'll never get the flu" is the rhymed
remedy which a number OF Anaconda
residents have found effcacious in the
present influenza epidemic. Those
who have daily followed the prescrip-
ton are asserted to have escaped the
ravages of the disease, and all attri-
butte their health to the efficacy of
powdered sulphur sprinkled in their
shoes every morning.
1T is said to be the remedy of an
Atlanta (Ga.) physician who has been
practicing in Dixie for two score OF
more years and who successfully fol-
lowed the plan personally and came
through yellow fever and cholera
epidemics unscathed. Now what has
this to do with the Influenza asks
this doctor, who thus answers his
own question: 1T has the same con-
nection as Il had with yellow fever
lieve that when the system is thor
ougly saturated with sulphur, ii will
prevent any disease from attacking
the body There is no doubt that
sulphur will penetrate the system
readily, for when one takes sulphur
internally, and has a silver dollar in
his pocket, the coin will turn black
caused by the sulphurated hydrogen"

Upper Peninsula Residents Want
More Protection.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 30.-Increase
OF the state bounty on wolves Is
likely 10 be one OF tn failures OF
game legislation early in the coming
session OF The legislature.
According tc the officials OF the
game commissioners department, the
bounty on wolves, in the light OF
high prices being paid for other furs.
is not attractive enough to encourage
the capture OF wolves. by trappers
and homoAteaders in the upper pen
insula. or late years many reports
have been received at Commissioner
Baird's Office that wolves are multi
plying rapidly in the north woods.
Particularly is this reported in the
sections bordering on Wisconsin,
where IL Is said wolves have made
large inroads on herds OF deer.
The state bounty ON wolves lover
six months of age) is s25. or this
amount the state pays one-half and
the other half comes from the coun-
ty. Some Of the counties, particular
ly in the upper peninsula, have add
ed TO this sum so that the full boun-
ty north OF the straits varies from $50
to $95. II is suggested that this be
increased by the state so that the cap
tor OF wolf would get $50.
Fur pelts this winter are higher
than ever in the history OF the state
Ordinary prime rat hides are selling
at $1.25 to $3.50 raw; mink hides, 81

worth anywhere from $40 to $50. 9th
er small animal furs are in proper
ton, and with the wolf bounty as low
as 80 or $35, 1t does not pay the
trapper to fool much trying TO en-
snare the wolf. Small fortunes are

Y. M. c. A. IN WAR ACTIVITIES.

Undoubtedly the Y. NJ. C. A. had
its troubles In the dispensing Of its af-
fairs overseas. There were many
complaints, well founded, OF making
charges for goods that had been do
mated with the idea that they would
be handed out free of charge. There
we're not a few grafters in the organ
zation. With so many men needed
for places there was not the time to
closely examine all the applicants.
Undoubtedly not few were given
place who ought to have been in the
lighting ranks, they taking this plan
for escaping service in the danger
GUS positions.
The "Y" was conducting an enter
prise Of enormous magnitude, far be-
yond its operating force, and II had
TO depend upon help with which il had
only meagre information. IL is not
surprising that in many instances IL
was imposed on, and II takes very lit
tie OF this sort OF thing to unfavor-
ably impress a great number Of men.
News in the army travels fast, and
undoubtedly many OF the boys had
reason TO complain OF the charges
made by these designing representa-
tives OF the association. At the same
time IL is the average that counts,
and we must give credit where II is
due, and for that which has been ac-
complished. We have often heard the
Red Cross criticised, and that's
little short OF treason All the Red
Cross representatives were not with
out guile, but the Red Cross stands
out brilliantly in its accomplishments
for humanity in the great war just
ended We must take with allowances
these rumors. The head of the Y. M.
c. A. states he knows there were
instances where advantage was taxi
EN- of their positions and authority
by representatives of the association,
II was impossible to prevent It, but
the isolated cases, while regretted, do
not constitute the act or the spirit OF
the organization. Just look at the
charges that have been made against
the war department and nearly all
branches OF the service.
1t was big job, and so quickly
made, that It was impossible to scrut-
inize every man engaged. II was
unfortunate that these cases were re
corded, but how could II have been
prevented. Just take into considera-
ton the magnitude and the pressure
under which II was conducted and the
wonder is that there was not more
grating. and more incompetents.

preciate what they have done on the

is reflected in our dress. At this
early instant the change is already
noticed. Women are buying more and
in every way are trying to look their
best FOR the returning soldiers.
Though the purchases are more
plentiful the taste remains for quiet
colors and simple lines. This may
be attributed to the fact that Ameri-
can women are more conservative by
nature than the French woman. For
new gay colors are appearing in

Cured in the state OF Michigan dur

This number corresponds to an an
nual death rate of 21.S per 1000 es-
timated population In addition to
the above there were 500 stillbirths
returned as deaths, but not included
in the total.
by ages, there were GAS deaths OF
infants under one year of age; 525
deaths of children aged one to four
vars, both inclusive; and 1921 deaths
of elderly persons, aged 60 years and
over. There is an appreciable de-
crease in the number OF deaths az
those ages as compared with the pre-
ceding month.
Important causes OF death were as
follows: Pulmonary tuberculosis,
1874; other forms of tuberculosis, Al /;
| typhoid fever, 20; diphtheria and

lence, 207 Included in the deaths
reported from violence were 81 deaths
from railway accidents; II from cleo
trio railway; from accidental drown

"a from suicide; and homicides. AS
compared with the month Immediately
pr eceding there is slight increase
in the number of deaths reported from
other forms of tuberculosis, scarle
fever, measles, and cancer. Pneu-
monia and influenza show decided
| decrease in the number OF deaths
Pulmonary tuberculosis, typhoid few
err, diphtheria and Group, whooping
cough, meningitis, and deaths from
! violence also show slight decrease.
In addition to the important causes
noted above there were four deaths
reported from poliomelitis, two from
tetanus. one from chicken-pox, and
one from smallpox.
Upon referring to the table OF coun-
ties, we find that the highest death

CAD. Wayne county, with rate OF
37s per 1000 estimated population
shows the highest birth rate.
There were 6,0lS birth certificates
