MANY CR|PPLES
Of THE COUNTY
CAN Be AIDED
CLINIC FOUND THAT AID COULD
BE GIVEN IN - OF IL CASES
EXAMINED.
Good AdUice GiUen
Parents 5y Doctors

A big interest was shown by the
people Of Gratiot County in the Grip
pied childrens clinic, which was held
at Ithaca on Friday, November II, at
the Offices of the Red Cross nurse, at
which time AZ crippled children in the
county were examined by DR.. William
Blodgett Of the Detroit Crippled
Children's Hospital and his aides,
who found that it would be possible
to aid 45 out Of the II cases. This
finding establishes beyond all ques-
tion Of doubt, the extreme value Of
such clinics.
In the 45 cases, in which it is be-
lieved aid can be given. there were in
dications that the children by proper
treatment can be brought TO normal
condition Of health, and every effort
was made at the clinic to give the
best possible advice to the parents Of
the children, in order that they may
be able to take full advantage Of the
findings at the clinic.
At noon Friday the parents and the
children were served with lunch, and
in the evening fourteen doctors and
nurses, who co-operated in the clinic,
had dinner together.

Christy WdthelUsOn
Appears OR Screen

Christy Mathcwson, Americas
baseball hero, will lend his aid 30 the
cause Of tuberculosis work during the
coming tuberculosis Christmas seal
sale.
The favorite Of ball fans con-
tracted tuberculosis after his return
from service overseas, and spent
several months undergoing treatment
at the famous sanatorium at Saranac
Lake. Recently, he was discharged
from Saranac as cured and has been
in splendid condition, with no recur-
renee Of the disease, since then.
SO grateful is Mathewson for his
recovery that he has appeared in a
short film dealing with his fight
against, and victory over, tubercu-
losis. The picture Is entitled "Matty
Wins His Greatest Game" and closes
with an appeal by the baseball star
for the support of the public in the
coming Christmas sale.
The Michigan tuberculosis Asscci-
alton has already leased the film to
the following cities: Detroit, Jackson,
Adrian, Lakev.ew, Menominee, How
ell, Alma, Mt. Pleasant, Ithaca and

Gaze Splendid
Address in Alma

Mrs. Helen b. Poulsen gave a
splendid address Thursday evening at
the high school on child life, which
held a deep interest for the many who
attended the lecture.
Mrs. Poulsen is a mother herself, a
well known teacher and a lecturer of
real note, who has travelled through
out the United States studying par
ents and their children, and is prob
ably one of the very best authorities
procurable on such a subject as the
one that she lectured on in this city.
Her message to Alma parents was
a vital one that held the close atten-
ton of her audience from start to
finish, her splendid and vivid presen-
alton of the cares and worries and
the misunderstanding that come to
the children, and the sympathetic
treatment of their perplexing prob
lens, being skillfully done in such a
way that no parents who attended the
lecture could fail to grasp the import
of her suggestions.
Mrs. Poulsen was brought to Alma
through the cooperation of a number
Of local clubs and the Alma public
schools, and it is certain that the
message that she brought to Alma
people will be well worth the effort
that was made to bring her TO this
city.

FORCE LAD To
OPEN Up SAFE
AT POINT or REVOLVERS LAD
OPENS SAFE AND GIVES Up
IFS CONTENTS.

Thursday the Newark store was
robbed by two men with revolvers

To have amounted to from $500 to
500.

WILLIAMS GAVE
A GOOD ADDRESS
HAD STRONG MESSAGE FOR
ALMA PEOPLE IN ADDRESS
GIVEN HERE.

DIR. Elmer Lynn Williams, who
came to Alma last Friday under the
auspices Of the Intercollegiate Pro-
hbition League proved an inspiring
and effective speaker. He addressed
the students of Alma College at the
regular time of College chapel in the
morning. Between one and one-thirty
he addressed the students in the high
school and at 1880 he spoke before a
mass meeting in the Presbyterian
church.
The League for which DR.. Williams
is working is an organization closely
allied to the Anti-Saloon League. It's
purpose is to present the cause OF
Prohibition to the students of the
land and thus insure the country from
misguided leadership in days to come.
All of DR.. Williams addresses were
enjoyed. In them in addition to touch
ing upon the need for wide spread
action against the use of cigarets and
in favor of respect for the law, he
described the situation as it now is in
the fight for temperance. He showed
that very many of the articles which
are constantly appearing in metro
politan papers and magazines pur-
porting to prove that beer and wine
or any modification of the Volstead
act are demanded by the people, are
nothing but propaganda put out by
the vets and entirely untrustworthy.
He asserted that in addition to rails
ing large sums in this country to fl
nance their efforts the vets were sup
ported by foreign capital, the wine
makers of France having raised three
million francs for the purpose.
In including his proof that the vets
were constantly making sweeping
statements for which there was very
little ground, DIR. Williams said "The
vets remind me of the Swede's defini-
ton of frog.
"'The frog said he, is queer
bird. When he walks he jumps.
When he jumps he fly almost. When
he stand he sit almost. When he sit
he sit on his tail which isn't there
almost So," said DR.. Williams,
"the vets make their assertions on
facts that aren't there almost"
All that DR.. Williams said was Civ
en- color and point by flashes of wit
and interesting anecdotes which de-
lighted his hearers.
DR.. Williams stated that the recent
elections as a whole were favorable
to the drys, although the vets act
ing true to form were making them
out as a great wet victory.

the amount that they would have
brought over the scales.

HOLD CLINIC FRIDAY

The Gratiot Co. Good Health So

children who are in the grades of the

the Gratiot County Good Health So
ciety has operated upon in the past
year, and thus put them in a condi-
ton whereby they can do good school
work and become good citizens Of our
own u. S. A.
The teachers say there is wonder
full Improvement in the work of these
pupils. This organization believes in
an equal chance for all children. The
money for this work is one of the
many good uses derived from the sale

ALMA IS MOST
REPRESENTATIVE
STATE COLLEGE:
SERVES ENTIRE STATE BETTER
THAN DO OTHER SMALL
COLLEGES Is CLAIM.
Students Are Nearly
All From This State

If the question was asked, what is
the most representative Michigan
college of the smaller colleges of
Michigan, they probably would find
1t hard task to give an answer. The
probabilities are, however, that Alma
College is the most representative
Michigan college of the smaller lib
eral arts institutions of the state.
This clarn is based on the stu
cents in the four regular college
classes at Alma, and does not include
music students and specials" A
total of 260 students is used as the
number in the four regular college
classes in making this claim.
OF this number 81 or 81 per cent
Of the total number come from with
in radius of fifty miles of Alma.
T. will be remembered in this con-
nection that Alma is situated almost
in the heart of the lower peninsula
Of the state, and a fifty mile radius
would not be possible entirely within
Michigan territory from some Of the
other small colleges of liberal arts,
and certainly none Of the others
could include as great an amount Of
Michigan territory within a 100 mile
radius within which 173 or 66, lib
per cent of the Alma students come.
From without the radius Of 100 miles
from Alma, yet from within the
state, 81 students or 33, 6-l3 live.
In this connection it is noteworthy
that only four students in the four
regular classes or less than per
cent come from outside of the state,
which is worthy Of consideration in
finding the most representative of
the Michigan colleges.
This shows that Alma is well To-
Gated to serve Michigan as an in
stitution of higher education and its
growth during the past few years,
dispite the fact that a number Of
g Idents were lost by reason of the
kindergarten department being abol-
ished few years ago, has been bas-
ed on its ability to serve the state
generally rather than any one par
ticular section of Michigan.
1t has a big Importance locally
also as is shown by the fact that 48
Alma young people are scuring their
higher education at Alma. The saw
ings that Alma College makes pos
sble to Alma over a period of years
in making it possible for her young
people to remain home while secur-
ing greater education is very evident
from this fact.
In this connection it is interesting
also 10 note that the college is be-
ginning to make itself strongly felt
in the larger cities of the state, as is
shown by the number of students
from some of the larger cities, as fol-
lows: Detroit II, Flint II, Saginaw
IL, Royal Oak 7, Bay City Z, New
berry 9 and Crosswell Z.
