NO GUN NO ROBBERY

That happening in Bay City, Tues
day afternoon, illustrates what effect
would be had on the bandit and rob-
berry industry if prohibition in re-
volvers obtained.' A rascal, armed
with revolver, successfully held up
a dealer and his bookkeper in the
formers place Of business, made them
lie down on the floor, roll over and do
other stunts at command of the load
ed revolver he held in his hand Not
content with the loot he obtained the
robber sought to beat information out
of the proprietor with the butt end of
the gun and the weapon was knocked
out Of his hand
Thereupon, and notwithstanding a
Ilacerated scalp, the dealer jumped to
his feet and proceeded to give his as
sailant, who is much the bigger man
Of the two, a sound beating, while the
bookkeeper secured the revolver, call
ed in the police and the bandit was
taken where he belongs.
1t Is quite evident that this robbery
would not have been attempted had
not the murderous coward who tried
it had possession of a loaded revolv.
er; and the same applies to the vast
majority of holdups and robberies
committed from day to day. There
is every good reason why it should be
made impossible for revolvers to have
general circulation. There does not
seem to be one really good reason
why the present laxity obtains. A
Detroit prohibition agent testified
that he takes several big drinks every
day on business. Which no doubt ac-
counts for the extreme difficulty ex-
perienced in recruiting whisky detec-
tives.-Saginaw News-Courier.

HEAD WENT ROUND
LIKE A BUZZ SAW
So dizzy had to sit down where
he was. Very bilious and
nervous.
Claims three bottles of Dreco
have purged his liver and re-
lieved him.

81 think I had the worst liver in
the town and nothing seemed to clean
it off," stated Mr.. William Carter, re-
siding on North Rose Street, Kalama-
zoo, Mich.
'Td get so dizzy that my head felt
like it was going around like buzz
saw and I'd have TO stop and sit
down right where I was when these
attacks came on. / was bilious, had
a vile taste in my mouth, mad the
pains in my back often kept me
awake at night, some nights l didn't
sleep over three hours.
81 have taken three bottles Of Dreco
and it is remarkable the way it has
cleaned out my entire system and
built me up. My liver has been
purged of the excess bile, | never get
dizzy these days, my breath is pure
and sweet, pains in my back are gone
and my nerves are steady. | sleep
sound all night long and get up feel
ing refreshed and full of energy.
Dreco is a great remedy and | strong
ly recommend it,"
Dreco acts on the liver day by day
cleansing it in a pleasant smooth
manner. 1t is not harsh but the ac-
ton is positive and prompt. Dreco
tones the liver so it performs its du-
ties naturally, that is why relief is
lasting.
Dreco is being specially introduced
by Chas. R. Murphy in Alma and sold
by all druggists. advertisement

But for the coming year.
There's where the solution lies, 1T

years. Other things are going

However, the situation IS serious

BELL CASTING IN OLD Japan
People Gather in Thousands to Wit
ness Ceremony Which Has Deep
Religious Significance.

The making of the bell in old Japan
was accomplished by great and solemn
rites, Marjorie Latta Barstow writes
in Asia. For months, sometimes for
years. the community had been con-
tributing of its bronze and copper or
naments and precious possessions.
For many days before the casting
there were prayers to determine the
suspicious moment at which TO begin,
and 10 put all spiritual beings and
ministers of grace in a propitious
mood. Pilgrims came from all the
surrounding country, for the Japanese
of long ago loved a pilgrimage as
much as do their descendants today /:
and made of their act of piety an op-
portunity TO enjoy a little festivity
and see something of the great world
On the appointed day, men gathered
in their finest attire. Then the priests
appeared in rich ecclesiastical bro
cades and the wOrkmen in robes beau
tiful and sanctified. With prayer and
ceremony the work reached its climax.
The great mOldS were prepared and
the flaming, molten mass, into which
had gone so many precious things,
was 10 them what the dedication of a
cathedral was TO the believers of the
middle ages. Before their eyes and
with their own cooperation, some
thing intangible and divine assumed
shape and tangibility. Many went
away to become heroes in their VIII
lagos because they had participated
in the making of the great bell. which
became more precious and mysterious
as time went on. and they passed on
to their children's children, even down
TO this day. the souvenirs of the Occa-
sion, inscribed with prayers by the
presiding priests.

Brain L. Frequently at Best During the
Still, Quiet Hours Of the Dark
ness.

Many writer's sleep with pencil and
notebook under their pillows and a
lamp at hand, so that they may dash
OFF the thoughts that come to them
in the watches OF the night. There
is about these thoughts a clarity that
does not come with daytime thinking
"a sureness of vision that approaches
the clairvOyant. MisfOrtunes never
loom so full or realistic as after mid
night; but Joy and pleasure lose some
thing of their glamor, their evidence (;
doubt creeps in with them.
A problem which we have wrestled
in the daylight, weighing it with all
our intelligence, is settled in a certain
way, calmly and judiciOusly and after
mature reflection. Our decision seems
the wight one. And then, suddenly, in
the dead of the night, that self-same
issue hobs up before our mental vi
sion, wakes us from a sound sleep and
settles itself in quite another way, IN
one great flash. A strong white light
has been turned upon the brain and
has revealed there a conclusion of
which we had no inkling before. The
processes of arriving at it are a closed
chapter. The clairvOyant brain has
registered Il result only. And again and
again ii will he found to be the right,
the eXpedient solution.
Memory, too, is peculiarly keen in
the silences between midnight and four
in the morning. All the cObweis have
been swept from the brain by the first
lOurS of SlapD- the bO1V and nerve
centers are singularly rested; there
are no noises To disturb and some sub
conscious power is at work within US.

THAT LUCKY RABBITS FOOT
Must Be Procured Only Under Certain
Circumstances if the Charm
is to Have Power.

You have undoubtedly heard about
wearing a rabbits foot for luck. Do
you know what is the significance of
1t, where it is to be carried, and why
it is lucky? Well, here it is:
The rabbits foot is esteemed a
powerful talisman to bring good for
tune 10 the wearer and protect him
from all dangers" says an authority.
'As this belief is more or less common
throughout the South it may be well
TO state how the charm is prepared,

be put ON The royal road to health,
wealth and prosperity.
at must he the left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit, and that is one
caught in graveyard. although one
captured under the gallOws would
probably answer as we'll. 1t must be
taken mt the midnight hour and the
foot amputated. The foot must then
be carried secretly in the pocket until
by chance the owner happens upon a
hollow stump in which water has COL
lected from recent rains. The foot is
then dipped three times into this wa
ter and the charm is complete.
Among the negroes and unedu-
Gated whites of the South the reputed
possessor of this potent talisman is at
once feared and respected

Silk Cultivation in China

That the secret of the silkworm was

a tradition is told Of a Chinese prin-
cess who tried to import the insects
into the country whittier she was 90
Ing. Certainly it seems probable that
silk making was known as long ago
as $500 b. c., when Emperor Chin
Nong, TO whom is ascribed the inven-
ton of the pillow, is said to have be-
gun the planting of mulberry trees.
and his successor, Hoan-ti, intrusted
to his wife the investigation into the
rearing of the silkworms, in the year
26O2 b. c. Certainly her work was sue
cessful, and her name to this day is
held in high honor, an encouragement

with the head toward the point from
which il afterward breaks. Another
sign of uneaSineSs induced by heavy
weather is the stiff-legged leaping and
running about in circles which often
mark the herd just before a storm
breaks on their range. They live prac-
tically in all respects the wild life Of
the SO-called wild herd of the park,
with the exception that they are
watched by hOrsemen and are fed hay
during the most inclement weather of
the winter. The ranges of the tame and
wild herds overlap to some extent, and
without doubt they occasionally inter-
breed. The original hope, which has
not been realized, was that some of the
tame herd would drift OFF and become
members of the wild herd.

Ant engineers.

1t has been found that the pOpula-
ton of an ant hill has solved many
complicated mining problems. Thou
sands of ants working instinctively
perform miraculous engineering feats
with amazing efficiency and without
prOfiteering. Each ant finds its own
work and the team work when the big
problems must be solved is surprising
ly efficient. When one shift of workers
tires or must stop for food or rest its
place is taken by other workers equally
skillful SO that not a moment is lost.
When an ant becomes covered with
dirt others Immediately clean it by
washing and brushing. During their
mining operations in digging holes and
removing stones an ant is often in
jured, whereupOn others rush to its
assistance and carry it to a quieter
gallery where first aid may be admins
tered. The resOurcefulness of these
little engineers has been found to an

worries Folk songs.

The subjeci of folk song is indeed
inexhaustible. The Scotch, Irish and

several ways, and there are also songs
