WILL HOLD FREE
7. B. C." CLINIC
FOR IONA COUNTY
MICHIGAN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ASSOCIATION WILL HAVE
WORKERS AT IONA.

The Michigan Anti-Tuberculcsis
association is making arrangements
for special free tuberculosis clinic
to be held in Ionia Feb. 27-28. The
work willsbe in charge of Miss Char
lotte Ludington, field nurse of the
state association and Dir. E. R. Van.
der Slice, medical director of the as
ISOLATION. These will be assisted by
local physicians and cher health
workers.
tuberculosis is one on those dis
eases, the state association physician
points out, which require constant
attention. Neglect it and it viii al
most Immediately get the better Of
the situation. This is true Of the in
dividual case but also of the conlmun-
ity's tuberculosis problem. DR..
Wander Slice declares that tuberculO-
sis viii not consent to adjourn itself.
It keeps on striking down people in
peace as well as in war. in prosper
Gus times as well as in hard times.
Hence the Michigan Anti-tubercu-
losis association has begun q harder
campaign than it ever has waged
against the disease Especially is
the attention Of people who are mere-
lv "run down" physically called BY
the state association t3 the free elm
les. Worry often such people 1.-e
found not to have the disease when
they are examined but If they haven't
the disease they often are candidates
for it, because the tubercla bacilh US
uallv attacks Che man or the woman
or the child who is physically least
able to resist him.
The state physicians want people
TO come early so that it will not be
necessary to turn anyone away by
reason of unnecessary congestion dur
ing NE closing hours of the clinic on
To fnnl day.
This service is similar to the free
clinics held in this county a year or
two ago when the work was done
under the auspices of the state board
of health. At that time several hun
dred people in this county were ex-
amined. The present organization
under the auspices of the Michigan
association is smaller and fewer peo-
pie can be accommodated. Hence the
necessity of coming early.

JACKSON RESI-
DENT OFFERS FORD
GAR VERY CHEAP
TURNED OUT LATER ON THAT
HE WAS INNATE WHO HAD
ESCAPED IN PRISON CAR.

. A young fellow of about % or %
years, good looking and a seemingly
coed mixer, drove Ford touring car
into the Ford garage last Friday and
made arrangements to have some oil
put in the machine. After making
further arrangements toward the pro-
posed and needed repairs on one Of
the front tires he left. He stated
that he had driven through from De-
troit and that the roads while they
might have been better, were not of
the worst, although his car showed
that it had been driven fast and
through a quite a good deal of mud.
The young fellow went up town and
remained in the Frank Hudson gro
Gerry store for some time talking with
the men in there and finally left there
and associated with other Of the
toNnsPeople, telling them various
stories Of himself and he finally Of
fered some one q bargain in a used
Ford car, Offering TO dispose Of the
touring car which he had driven into
the city for 500 cash, stating that he
was tired II owning q car and that
rather than make The needed repairs
on the machine he would offer 1t at
q loss price The letters m. S. p"
worked into e monogram on the sides
Of the car elected q query from some
one who HAD been offered the car and
the young fellow said that they stood
Tor Michigan state Plumbers.
Saturday morning after he had been
in the garage and had again left the
prOpriet0rs called up the secretary CT
states office at Lansing and found
out that the car, bv referring TO the
license belonged to the Michigan
State prison at Jackson, and on call
ing up the prison authorities at Jack
son the garage men were told that
the driver was an escaped inmate of
the institution who had made his get
away in the car after having stolen it.
They claimed that the local authorities
had been notified Immediately after
the man had left, as they had notified
every town and city in this section Of
the state. If it is true that he pris-
on authorities did this, it seems strange
that the fellow could have passed
through as many towns as he did be-
fore reaching here without being pick
ed up. The prison authorities will
send man up after the car and take
it back to Jackson.
The initials stood for Michigan
State Prison and the fellow in telling
that they stood for the plumbers as
ISOLATION, pulled a good one but this
was the little joke which started sus-
nieion to be thrown on him and had
he returned to the garage once more,
he. might have received a different
welcome.
No one seems to know when or how
he left the city, but it is presumed
that he went to Chicago. The chan
ces are that he had some one on the
outside of jackson prison who con-
spring with him, furnished him with
clothing to get away with and also
furnished him with sufficient funds
that he need not worry for the time
at least. He had money enough so
that he could easily afford to sell that
Ford for $50 and never miss the loss
greatly.
The Ford touring car is still stored
in the Ford garage where it will re-
main until the authorities send man
after it.

Service of the Home Stores-No. s

Service of the Home Stores-No. 5
When a home merchant sells his
stuff to his own townspeople, he gets
the most thorough test of the value
of his goods. If anything doesn't
absolutely make good, it comes back
to him at once. His customers re-
turn to the same place week after
week. He quickly finds out whether
his material has proved good, bad or
Indifferent. He finds out how the
goods work in actual use more quick
ly and thoroughly than the large city
department store or the mail order
house.
So the home merchant quickly
learns what lines can be depended
upon and what can't. The latter he
cuts out, and places his reliance on
the producers who have made good.
When you buy of home store, there
fore, you get the benefit of a test of
the articles made in your own home
town, carefully watched by the man
whose interest it is to have his sales
SATISFACTORY. No test of the value
Of goods made in any other way can
be SO dependable.

ASSISTANT AIR
TRAINING CHIEF
VISITS SOUTHER

SOUTHER FIELD, March 28.-Lieut.
Colonel Herbert A. Dargue, military
aviator, assistant chief of training,
Washington, was visitor to Souther
Wednesday and made flight in 2 De-
Haviland-4. Colonel Dargue address
ed the officers class at 100 p. m. on
the organization of the air service.
Colonel Dargue has seen extended
work on the front, and his talk was
of a decidedly interesting character.
Among other things, Col. Dargue told
of some of the unlimited possibilities
OF the air service and covered only
mere emphatically the ideas often re-
ferred to in these columns. The ques-
ton has stirred up the inventors of
the country and some valuable i'm
Irovements ON the present planes may
be looked for, he said It would not be
surprising, he declared, to see in oper-
alton here within the next three
months some of the latest constructed
dirigibles from abroad as we'll as a
large number of the most powerful
airplanes. The organization of a
complete air service in the United
States wherein all classes of transpor-
tation can be speedily and economical
ly handled is far from visionary, he
said. He dwelt upon the usefulness
of the mammoth planes and told of a
Tying boat weighing less than 600
pounds which included a 150-pound
passenger.
The airplane which recently flew
without being man-controlled was evil
IDENTIFY handled by wireless, he said.
This, it is said, can be landed almost
on any designated spot 100 miles away
and for military purposes will fill any
required service.
Col. Dargue expressed himself as
well pleased with Souther Field after
having made complete and careful
inspection.
