SALVATION ARMY
Home Service Fund Campaign Is
Having Good Results Here.

The Hole Service Fund Campaign
IN Alma, under the direction of
Frank F. Smith, city chairman.
which started in earnests yesterday is
meeting with good results, in spite Of
the fact that Nh Smith has had on
ly few days in which to secure his
committees.
Few reports had been made to the
chairman last night, as to the re-
suits of the first days work. Re-
ports that were in. however showed
over $4,000 pledged on the first day
of the campaign, and it is believed
that if all solicitors had reported the
results of their work yesterday that
close to 81 900 would have been re-
ported as pledged
Chairman Smith feels confident
that Alma will achieve the $4,000
goal which has been set in the local
Salvation Army drive, before the
work comes TO an end with the close
of the present month. and both he
and his committees are working hard
to go over the top.

Saturday and Sunday, taking the

camp in a two game series by scores
of to and TO 0.
In the two battles the Detroit team
secured just seven hits, six in the
first game and one in the second.
Thirty Detroiters struck out. fifteen

The Saturday game was somewhat

the Truckers opposing Tanner and
Evers. Each team took six hits from
the opposing pitchers, but the Re-
publics managed to bunch their hits
when they counted heavily. The
game Sunday was a hurler's battle

and hard. Hagerman allowed the
Cowpers just one safe blow.

FUEL SITUATION
IS VERY SERIOUS
Hope Entertained For Relief
Within The Next
Few Weeks.
HOlCOMB TELLS OF MEETING
Utilities of Michigan Have Only
Very Few Days Fuel Supply
Now.

That the present highly serious
fuel shortage can be eliminated by
just two factors, increased produc.
tion and better shipping facilities, is
evidently the view of Manager Hol-
comb of the Central Michigan Light
d Power company of this city, who
was member of the Michigan dele
cation which went to Washington. d.
C., last week to bring the fuel short
age 10 the direct attention of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
ask that some stern measures be TAX
en- for speedy relief in Michigan.
The delegation, headed by William
Smith of st. Johns, chairman of the
Michigan Public Utilities Commits
sion, met in Congressman Fordney's
office in Washington early last
Wednesday morning, and soon after
was in session with the commission.
The very serious condition in Mich
igan, and the need of prompt action
in furnishing relief to the state, was
pointed out by Chairman Smith. 1t
was shown that many utilities COM
panles in the state had been forced
to close for a few days at a time dur
ing the recent months because of in
ability to secure fuel, and that many
others had only few days, or a
very few weeks supply of fuel on
hand and that unless prompt meas
ures were taken many utilities com
panies of Michigan would be forced
to close down.
Remedies for the situation were
talked over, the suspension of traffic
regulations. and routing rules. two
matters which the commission had
been thinking over, We're those which
we're given the most thought and de-
Iteration at the meeting.
The following day the Interstate
commerce Commission made an or
Ter suspending these rules and also
'rdered the return of cars in the west
o the east for fuel.
Manager Holcomb of the local com
'any said this week that he hoped
hese measures would furnish the re-
ief which the Michigan public util-
ties companies were seeking, but
hat 1t would be necessary for a pro-
uction of about 100000 tons of
oal every month, if the needs were
o be met and enough coal left with
'hich to build up a surplus for the
oming winter.
The coal strike of last fall, and the
trike of the switchmen on the rail
Dads this spring are believed to be
ne prime reasons for the highly ser
'us condition of the fuel market.

WONDERFUL RESULTS
nti-Tuberculosis Work Yielding
Fine Results.

That anti-tuberculosis and genera.
health work really brings dividends
IN dollars and cents has just beer
demonstrated by one of America
greatest life insurance companies
This company, whose name is almost
household word and which insures
about one in every five people in the
United States, has recently made a
statement of its health work the past
decade and what has resulted from
it.
The statement received by the
Michigan Anti-tuberculosis associa-
ton declares that from 1911 TO 1919
the company saved 2.18 deaths for
each one thousand policy holders ex-
posed. This is reduction of l7.9 per
cent in eight years. In terms of lives.
the reduction is equivalent to an an
nual saving of 27,50O policy holders
exposed.
In dollars and cents this amounts
practically to $5,0O0,O0O each year in
death claims. One of the officials of
the company, commenting on these
figures, said: $50 large saving can
not be accidental, especially in view
of the fact that during the period of
1911 TO 1919 there was no saving
whatever in the death rate of the
general population
But the general population can
make the same saving, the Michigan
Anti-tuberculosis association de-
clares, as soon as it will adopt the
same preventive measures employed
by this far-sighted life-insurance

CARNEY SUIT WILL
START NEXT WEEK
Former Health Officer and 9th
ers Being Sued For $4,000
BY A Girl.

The case of Nina Mccall Rock. by
her next friend, against Dr.. Thomas
j. Carney, Miss Ida Peck, and others
for $4,000 will be tried in circuit
court next week, it is now expected
and promises to be watched with in
terest over the entire state. being in
the nature Of test case.
The case is the outgrowth of the
anti-vice crusade, which was waped
here during the war, when a special
activity was waged here because of
the soldiers which were constantly
coming to Alma for trucks TO be
taken to the coast, overland. and
then to France.
Because of this fact, Alma was
considered as a military zone. in
order that the anti-vice crusade
which the government was wagine
for the protection of the soldiers.
might be better handled, and DR..
Thomas j. Carney, at that time
health officer of the City of Alma.
was given federal appointment. to
take charge Of this work. the an
pointment coming to him from the
government, through DR.. Olin of the
state board of health.
During the time that this crusade
was on, about two dozen girls and
women here, were sent away for
treatment for venereal disease
among these being Nina Mccall
Rock.
The case against Dr. Carney is an
outgrowth Of this campaign, and it is
set forth that the girl was not dis
eased, and that she was missused.
and that the powers of the health
workers were exceeded.
The case promises to cover state
laws. state board of health1ruHngs
and to BRING u the government act,
which had as It's end the protection
Of the American soldiers from dis
4ased women.
The case is an unusual one in Mich
