Use Your Vote. Ladies.

Use your vote. 1t was hard to
get. Three statewide campaigns
within six years make a wonderful
record of devotion, generosity and un-
selfish labor, which many Michigan
men and women contributed for the
principles of true democracy. Those
who did their bit toward this high
patriotism esteem it to have been a
glorious privilege.
Now comes the time when all wo-
men can have a part in using the
symbol of our republic. Your first
step is to register. This is a very
easy proceeding. 1t means that you
go to the clerk of your city, village
or township and have him record
your name and address. There is
no charge for this, but you must go in
person. You cannot register your
name by mail.
Unless you are registered you can
not vote. Thee andidates for coun-
tv and certain local Offices are nomin-
ated at the primaries, March 5. Do
you want able creditable candidates,
then go to the primaries and help to
name good men for your ticket. In
Some of them may not know how
citizenship. Be a booster. That
means civic patriotism. You will
want to vote on Election day, April
z, when all earnest patriots strive to
go to the polls.
There are important questions to be
decided, such as the light wine and
beer amendment; the good roads pro-
position and possibly one or two
others.
Do not forget to register. The
time is short. Find out from your
township or village clerk what days
he will be ready to take your regis
tration. In cities you must go to
the city hall. Register on or before

portunity Feb. Is. Then the books
close for the primaries.
The primaries will be held March
5.
The elections will be held April 7.

Musical Topics
Edited by Mrs. X. l.. Skahen

The lives of the great ones in mu-
sic bear out the general axiom that
genius has hard fight to make until
II obtains the recognition due 1T, and
most of the great composers have had
to fight bitterly the adversities OF
fortune and the world for that appre-
citation which was their right Ii
YOU read with what little support,
from a material point CT view, the
wonderfully gifted young Schubert
had to contend, when you recall the
want and suffering to which Berlioz
was subjected, and when you remem-
Der the actual misery of Wagner's
early life it makes you believe that
real genius is born and bred to pass
through a period of suffering so that
it may reach it's full fruition.
And yet, there are notable excep-
tions. Among them the most con-
spicuous is Mendelssohn. This unique
personality in the world of music was
favored of the gods as none other.
His life was brief, for he was only SO
when he died. But, it may be said,
that in that space of time he never
knew one moment of want or disap-
pointment. For him life was one
beautiful song. AS a youth he had
the love and affection of his parents,
the splendid guidance of his talented
sister, Fanny, the comforts and adj
vantages which wealth could supply,
the devotion of father who granted
him every wish, and the exuberance of
talent which found its outlet in a man.
ner to win immediate appreciation.
He married happily, he was permitted
to conduct great festivals like those
of the Lower Rhine and the English
gatherings, he was assisted in estab-
fishing a great conservatory at Leip-
sic where he was also given charge
of the famous Gewandhaus orchestra.
In short, there is scarcely one thing
which ne wanted and did not obtain.
Royalty was at his feet, society bow
ed to him in alteration and the music
al world acknowledged his manifold
gifts.
Nor was there another among mod
ern composers who was given during
his lifetime, the same enthusiastic
recognition on the part of the English
lpeope as Mendelssohn. His two
great oratorios, "St. Paul" and eli
jah" are standard works of every Eng
lish oratorio society. Their first

SAYS COLD WEATHER
BRINGS RETURN Of
InFLUEnzA
Public Must Be Careful to Avoid a
Second Epidemic--Easier to Pre-
vent Than Cure-What To Do.

Encouraging report of the fewer
cases of influenza in this vicinity
should not allow us to relax our Wig
lance or to become careless in the
belief that the danger is all over"
says a well known authority. With
the coming of cold weather there is
ape to be a return of this frightful
epidemic and its seriousness will de-
pend on the extent of the precautions
taken by the public to prevent in
lection.
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection if you destroy
the germ before it actually begins
work in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic
which hit Bedding 30 hard, most sue
cessful results were obtained by many
through the simple breathing into
the nose, throat and lungs of the med
icated air of oil of Hyomei. Probab-
ly no better, safer or more sensible
precaution against influenza, grippe,
coughs, colds, bronchitis or catarrh
of the nose and throat could be en-
ployed than TO go now TO the nearest
drug store and get a complete Hy-
omei outfit consisting of a bottle Of
the pure oil Of Hyomei and little
vest pocket hard rubber inhaling de-
vice into which few drops of the
oil are poured.
Carry this inhaler with you during
the day and each half hour or so put
it in your mouth and draw deep
breaths Of its pure healing germicid-
al air into the passages Of your nose,
throat and lungs to destroy any
germs that may havef ound lodgment
there. This simple precaution may
save ysu q serious illness and the
loss Of several weeks work. 1t is
pleasant to use and not at all expen-
i've as the inhaler will last q life
time and further supplies of the oil |
of Hyomei can be had at any drug
store for few cents.
Hundreds Of people in this vicinity |
