AMERICAN LEGION
ASSISTS IN FIGHT
ON WHITE PLAGUE
LIVES OF MANY EX-SERVICE
MEN ARE EXTINGUISHED
BY DREAD DISEASE

The lives of large number of ex-
service men in the eighth district,
consisting of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Illinois, are in danger from uberculo-
sis as a result of the privations Of
war, according to the Carl A. john
son Post, No. 2, of Grand Rapids. This
post has initiated a movement look
ing to the establishment of a military
sanatorium where the former fighters
can be treated for tuberculosis. The
Post arranged meeting of represen-
taties of Legion Posts from the 9TH
er states at Grand Rapids a few days
ago at which the question was discus
sed.
1t was found that the United States
Public Health Service has not a bed
available in the eighth district for the
ex-service men who have been attack
ed by tuberculosis. This situation
called for an emergency measure and
hence the meeting was arranged.
tuberculosis is one of the after
maths of war, as it was expected to
be. Many soldiers who came through
the privations of the trenches of who
were incapacitated by German gas
are now the victim Of the white
plague. During the war and after,
the Michigan Anti-tuberculosis As
sociation gave a great deal of atten-
ton to the examination of soldiers
and exsoldiers and large number
were helped in this way. Some also
were placed in a special military
building at the State Sanitorium at
Howell, but the capacity of that build
ing was only forty beds. The number
Of ex-soldiers who need attention is
much greater than the capacity of all
the sanitoria in the states and new
method will have to be found to take
care Of them.

And Everyone Had a Fine Time

About thirty OF the friends OF
Claude Eggleston braved the elements
and gathered at his home on Saturday
night, January "a to prevent him
from forgetting his eighteenth birth
day anniversary.
Although some were late in arriv-
ing, everyone put in several hours OF
solid fun. All the good old games
that could be thought of were played,
number of the musical folks made
the house ring with songs that were
thoroughly enjoyed, (by those singing
at least) and very welcome supper
was served little after midnight.
Save for few broken bones, few
broken chairs and number of sad ac-
cidents of various natures, there was
not flaw in the evenings fun. Ev-
eryone departed at a shockingly late
hour, wishing that many more such
evenings might be spent around the
Ashley neighborhood.

EDWARD RENO IS
LAST NUMBER ON
LECTURE COURSE
HIGH CLASS MAGICIAN AND EN-
TERTAINER is TO CLOSE
REDPATH SERIES

Edward Reno has been a magician
for more than thirty-fve years. He
has travelled in every quarter of the
globe and is constantly inventing new
things in magic and illusions with
which to mystify and enteratin the
public.
During the hour and a half that
Reno has the platform he executes
sixty or more tricks, two or three
times as many as are shown by the
ordinary magician.
The running-fire comments as Reno
puts over his tricks are about as "a
musing as the tricks themselves. He
uses plenty of puns and big words and
keeps his audience in a fever of ex-
citement and interest. He goes out
into the allies and comes into close
touch with those attending the per-
formance. In fact the audience takes
part in many of his tricks.
Reno uses a number of pets in his
entertainments, and he allows the
children to play with these pets be-
tween times. There is always rush
of boys and girls to the stage when
Reno makes his appeal for ssistants.

Girl Mill Worker Dies

Madeline Hatch, aged 10 years, for
the past year or so, an employee of
Belding Bros. & Co., in their Red
mill here, died at the city hospital on
Sunday evening, January 25, shortly
after midnight following an illness
of less than week and which was
caused by rheumatism of the heart,
Miss Hatch being stricken with the
disease on the Monday afternoon pre-
vious and removed from the Ashfeld
boarding house to the hospital on Fri
day. The remains were prepared for
burial and taken to the Miller & Har-
ris Furniture Co. undertaking rooms
and were shipped on Monday morning
to Alpena, where her parents reside
and where the. funeral will be held
and burial will take place. The re-
mains were accompanied home by a
sister of the deceased, Miss Marie
Hatch and Miss Georgenia Aselin, a
friend. Miss Hatch was an employee
of the spooling room department Of
the Red mill and the esteem and re-
spect in which her coworkers and as
sociates held her in was splendidly
demonstrated when practically all the
employees of the department went to
the depot to pay their last respects
to the dead girl Word was sent to
the girls parents that her condition
was serious and for them to come at
once and they replied that they could
not come here as there was another
daughter i'll with the same disease at
home and that her condition, too was
serious Miss Hatch wanted to see
her mother very much before she died
and shortly before death, when she
became unconscious, she took the
nurse for her mother and felt glad
that the latter had arrived in time
to see her before she passed away.

DADDY LONG LEGS"
COMING TO EMPRESS
THEATRE NEXT WEEK
SCREEN VERSION OF POPULAR
NOVEL is TO BE SHOWN
HERE SOON

An engagement of more than usual
interest to Belding theatre goers has
just been announced by Frank Joslin,
manager of the Empress theatre, with
the booking of Mary Pickford's great
est motion picture, Daddy Long
Legs" for two days engagement here
February A and 5. The picture has
never before been shown in Belding,
in fact, few cities of this size have
yet had the opportunity of seeing
Miss Pickford's greatest work of art.
With the booking of this pisture, Mr.
Joslin is experimenting on the tastes
of the people Of Belding for motion
pictures and is also showing his con-
fidence in the ability Of the city to
support a big production Of this sort
for more than days stand.
The story and the stage play, ."Dad-
dy Long Legs" is probably one of the
best known combinations with the
American public and Miss Pickford
was obliged to pay $4,000 for the
screen rights alone. This is an en-
ormous sum insofar as picture rights
to any one novel is concerned. In
addition, Miss Pickford surroun led
herself with cast of exceptional ac-
tors, most of them children and OBJ
tanned the services of Marshall Neilan
one of the greatest directors, to pro-
duce the picture.
The part of Pudy Abbott, the or
phan girl, is one exactly suited to
Mary Pickford. For long time Miss
Pickford has been anticipating the
part, for it was inevitable that she
should play it once the theatrical pro-
ducers were willing to turn over film
rights.
Now on the screen, Daddy Long
Legs" will. be seen by more people
than ever. The millions who read
the book or saw the play see it or the
screen, too, for none OF them has even
forgotten this appealing story which
comes like a ray of sunshine into the
troubles of everyday life.

other part of this paper.

Accused Wrong Boy OF Theft

Some time along about Christmas
a sled was stolen from in front OF
Bricker's store and some one brought
up the name of Raymond Irish, a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Irish, of
Lansing, as the boy who was guilty
Of the theft. Mrs. Frank Welsh, a
we'll known resident Of James street,
aunt to the Irish boy wishes us to
state that it was not Raymond Irish
as he had no been in Belding since
the early part of November and for
that reason it could not have been
him. The real little theft has as yet
not been discovered.

whether the poor suffering public is
being intentionally punished for un-

moving the trains, but perhaps we'r1
all wrong, maybe it is a necessary
measure. We can remember the tim,
when a mere storm didn't stop the

along through and the trains made
their trips as usual.
We're not kicking, though, we're
laughing up our sieve, at ourselves

the truth of the matter is this. The

Had Tnh Toes Smashed

While at work in Belding-Hall Co.
factory A, Friday morning, Carl
Ritterstorf had the misfortune to
have two toes on his right foot quite
badly smashed, the great toe and the
next one to it and the rest of the
toes bruised quite badly. When a
big fellow like Carl has an injury
happen to his feet it can be taken for
granted that it is some injury and
then besides they say that it has kept
Carl from putting in his spare time
at some of the many lakes in the near
by vicinity in search of the fnny
tribe and this fact would be further
and conclusive proof that it was some
smash.
