LOSE DEBATE
Howard City Team Wins From Alma
High Trio.

Friday evenings debate at Howard
City proved disastrous for Alma
high school debaters, the team repre-
senting that school winning a 3 to 0
decision from the local team.
The Alma team took the negative
side of the question, Resolved, that
the adjustment of disputes between
employer and employee should be
made a part of the administration of
justice The locals proved no worse
on the negative side OF the question
than has any other high school de-
batting team of the state that has
taken the negative, as no team has
yet been able to win when taking this
end of the proposition.
Up until the rebuttals which closed
the debate it looked as though the
Alma team would have an easy vic
tory, but the closing arguments
blasted the hopes of the Almaites to
win.

A SAFE TEST

For those e-wh0 nare in j. need. Of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, It is a good plan TO try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are strongly rec
commended by Alma people.
Mrs. Adelina Gamer, 9l8 Pine
Ave, Alma, says: "Some two years
ago my back and kidneys started to
trouble me- Sharp pains often dart
ed up and down my back, making il
hard for me to do my work 1t was
hard for me to stoop over or lift
anything and at night when / went
to bed, / didn't dare to move or turn
over. Mornings l was so blinded
with black specks that | couldn't see
to go on with my work and / often
had TO. grasp hold of something for
support. My kidneys acted irregu-
larly and my life was miserable. j
