PLENTY OF GLASSES,
 NOTHING TO DRINK
Hundreds Of Plumbers and Gob- lets of No Use at All

Chicago, Feb. 23.--One million feet of floor space covered with simmer ing lassware--tumblers, goblets and among them for anything stronger than one-half of one per cent!
 Among Tho Missing
 This was the Vostead inspired sit : uation revealed at the annual glass, pottery and house furnishings exhibi- tion which has just closed here. Three hundred manufacturers of glassware were represented with ex hibits showing variety of articles in glass for home uses, but the dainty lioueur containers that formed a gilt tering part of previous showings were missing.
 Like Allied Army
 As allied arms drove Germans out of France, so the eighteenth amend ment, aimed solely at intoxicants, sideswiped an important branch of the glass industry. forcing it into oth- CT lines or out Of business.
 No Barroom Fixtures
 Exhibitors of barroom supplies, an industry of considerable dimensions four years ago, were conspicuousy missing. Here and there, however, re- posing on back shelves where they were hardly noticeable, were acco- sional showings of wine glasses, the last guard of the vanishing army of intoxicant containers.
 No Interest
 Manufacturers representatives at the exhibit showed slight interest at the mention of glassware as depends upon lioueurs for it's usefulness. Quite unanimously they declared that the demand is insignificant. A few wine glasses, an occasional set of gob lets are all that are being sold Tankards have disappeared complete ly.
 Glasses Good Business
 Prohibition has not affected the prosperity of the glass industry how ever, despite the deep inroads it cut exhibitors declared Manufacturers who formerly supplied glassware es- sential to liquor consumption have turned their attention to making oth- CT tableware which course is proving fully as remunerative, they said.

MACNIDER IN PLEA
 FOR TOLERANT VIEW
Urges People to Put Aside Dislikcs Because of Religious
 Differences ...

Indianapolis. Feb. 23.--A plea for religious tolerance has been made by Hahford MacNider, national comman- der of the American Legion in a let ter to the editor of The Protestant, published in Washington, D. C., it was announced today.
 This country" the letter says, was formed by men who sought religious tolerance and it is that spirit which has made it free, fine and worth liv- ing in. l happen to be a Protestant and attend a Protestant church, but as member of many Masonic bodies, of which I have taken more or less active part, l have great admiration for that institution, the Roman Catho- lie church. It's stand and teachings for the preservation of the integrity of our lawful government were well exemplified in the heroic deaths of men who served in my own command And l might add that the chaplains of that faith gave a human touch to their splendid service that made them beloved by all, Jew, Protestant and Catholic alike"

EQUALITY IN COURT
 DOES NOT EXIST NOW
Rich Can Hire Good Lawyers. While Poor Are At a Disadvantage,
 Speaker Says.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Eduality be fore the law is impossible so long as the rich and powerful are represented in court by highly educated lawyers. while a large part of the poor and ignorant are represented by Intrained and incompetent men, Judge Clarence N Goodwin of Chicago declared in bis opening address today as chairman of the conference of bar associations here Until such condition is cor rected he said, there will be little justice in the courts,
 The shrewd and powerful men and interests of large means are able to know who are competent and who are not, Judge Goodwin asserted. adding that it was difficult for the poor man, the ignorant man to make any just estimate of who was capable of prop erly advising and representing him.
 Judge Goodwin said that during his years as justice of the Illinois ap pellate court i've found ourselves constantly confronted with records which showed such palpnble and un- mistakeable errors as to make it nec- essary to reverse the case although it obviously had merit"

Boston, Feb. 23.-America' posi-. ton as a creditor nation probably win result in the use of American capital wherever business Is done Eliot Wadsworth. assistant secretary of the treasury said in an address before the Boston Chymber of Commerce today, This expansion depended, however, he added, on the maintaining of pay as we go" policy by the United States treasury.
 We owe today twenty-three and onc-half billion dollars of which six and one- half billion Is due in less than eighteen months" MT. Wadsworth said This Is too large a proportion Of floating debt for any business in stitution.
 Deficit Next Year.
 Our federal budget so far has bal anced but next year we face deficit. We are considering further expendl- lures for bonus for ship subsidies, for new federal activities. To meet the deficit, to pay for these new ex- penditures the money should be provided from income, not by further borrowing.
 We have debts enought for future generations to care for. Pay as we 20 must be the principle Of the tinan- Cial management of this country or soon we will not be talking of lend ing money abroad and will really have cause to worry about the future

Why Women
 Dread
 ashday

Mrs. Charles Bailey is the wife of a we'll
 known paper maker. She has resided ID Farley, Mass, for fourteen years. Mrs. Bailey is one of those vigorous, strong and enthusiastic young mothers who find joy in the labors of the home. But sometimes such labors lead to disaster. Mrs. Balle, says:-
 usually rugged and healthy. One Mon day had a very heavy washing and got awfully warm, but as it wasn't very cold, went out to hang up the clothes without putting on any wrap. The wind was more chilly than I had thought and by tho time I got into the house, l was shivering. l took hot drink and thought would be all right, but the next day had chills and fever, head and backache, inAamed eyes and terrific head cold. My husband suggested that l go to Orange and see Druggist Jackson. 1 did not feel like getting out of bed, but l struggled into town and told MT. Jackson how it hurt me to cough and what an awful night J had. He recommended that ] take Cerisane. He said he would guarantee il and return the money if was unsatis6ed So bought large bottle. After using about half of it, began to get better and by the time had finished that bottle, my cough was loosened and I was nearly cured took little more and was soon entirely we'll. am sure that Cerizane saved me from long spell of sickness = probably even from Pneumonia. l shall always have Cerisane in the house in the future as have found that there is no better cough medicine for children or grown ups than Cerisane."

COLDS

A cold is the most common trans
raissible disease. 1t is by no means
arlin-nt Of the winter season
alone, although conditions at that
Mime favor it.
Colds are caused by certain bac-
terra which find their way to the
mucous membrane and cause an ac-
tive inflammation. Most often the
throat and nasal passages are af-
fected.
The coughing, sneezing and ac-
companying discharges are familiar
symptoms. 1t is particularly inn
portant to observe cleanliness in or
der to avoid transmitting the infec-
ton to others. Sterilized cheese
cloth. which can be burned, is an ex-
,ellent substitute for the handker-
chief.
One is particularly liable to con-
tract a cold when exhausted and IN
the winter time crowded, overheated,
noorly ventilated rooms and cars
make the tired worker susceptible.
Oyereating and the use of stimulants
are often predisposing causes.
Excess of clothing, contrary to
popular belief, is not preventive.
INDEED, chest protectors or similar
articles of clothing may weaken the
natural resistance. General care of
the body, daily baths to keep the
skin healthy, fresh air--both day and
night-and the avoidance of fatigue
- tha hest preVentiyeS
The complications which are apt
10 follow a severe cold, especially
pneumonia, make it. important to
watch for aggravated symptoms. II
these manifest themselves physician
should be called promptly. A linger-
ing cold may result in tuberculosis,
by clogging the respiratory tract with
secretions and thus furnishing food
supply for tuberculosis germs.

FREE CLINIC FOR CHILDREN

The Flint Rotary Club is entitled
to much praise for its generosity and
public spirit in providing for a free
clinic for crippled children which will
be held at Hurley Hospital on We'd
nesday and Thursday, January 25
and 26. The clinic will be for dag
nosis only, that is to say it will be for
the purpose of ascertaining the true
cause or condition of any disability,
and to determine whether medical or
surgical treatment might be helpful.
1t will be conducted by two eminent
surgeons, DR.. + c. Kidner, of De.
troit, and DR.. L. C. Abbott, of the
University Hospital at Ann Arbor,
who will also be assisted by members
Of the Genesee Medical Society. If
the examination of child indicates
that treatment would be beneficial it
will be arranged for later on. Parents
of crippled children are asked to bear
in mind that this clinic will be absol-
utely free of charge and should see
their local physician at once with re-
gard to taking children to the hospital
on the dates above named, as the
doctors in charge are considered ex-
pert in cases of this kind. We want
to compliment the Genesee Medical
Society, as well as the Rotary Club
on its interest in this most worthy
and constructive charity.

WORLD NEWS SERVICE
The Messengers Weekly News Re-
view Prepared by Expert of World
Experience and Training

Those Of The Messengers readers
who follow the weekly news review
of Edward w. Pickard from weel: to
week are well informed regarding The
principal happenings of the World.
With mind trained by world travel
and study and longe years of exper-
fence in the news-writing profession,
Mr.. Pickard is we'll fitted to prepare
the excellent comprehensive review
of world events which The Messen-
ger presents to its readers weekly.
He was born at Madison, Wis; grail
uated from the University Of Illinois
at 81; has covered a considerable e
portion of both hemispheres; was
SPECIAL correspondent IN Venezuc.a
and other South American countries
bicycled through rural England and
France, sojourned in Fiji, Somoa and
other out-of-the-way places; has writ
ten during his travels for leading
publications, contributing new and
interesting facts on the age-old sub
ject of men, countries and govern
ments; also has occupied high execut-
i've positions on metropolitan news
papers, and now is attached to the
editorial staff of a large newspaper
service corporation.
In preparing his news review Mr..
Pickard does not pretend to touch
every happening, but separates those
accomplished facts of permanent inn
portance from the unimportant mass
of news and gossip which is printed
today and forgotten tomorrow. Mr..
Pickard's explanation of the mean
ing of events chronicled is especially
valuable. A careful study of this
news review each week fortifies the
reader with facts and sound opinions
regarding them which he might have
a desire to discuss with his friends
and neighbors.

CLOSE CALL TO DEATH

Jerome Stevens, watchman at the
Vienna Street crossing of the p. M.
Ry., in Clio, had narrow escape from
being crushed to death under the
wheels of freight car Monday noon.
1t is more than probable that but
for the presence of mind of Earl
Brown, a high school student, who
was at the scene of the accident, and
lent timely helping hand, Mr.. Stew
ems would have met horrible death.
The circumstances are said to have
been about as follows: Mr.. Stevens
was attending the crossing while a
freight engine was doing some
switching in the yards. While this
was in progress box car had been
left standing on the crossing and the
engine making flying switch to get
in on the side track near the elevator
had shunted couple of cars down
toward the one that was standing on
the crossing. Just at this time a
number of school children were wait
ing to get across and Mr.. Stevens
stepped across the track to protect
them from the engine which was ap-
preaching on the siding. In doing
this he apparently did not see the
cars which had been shunted down to-
ward the one standing on the cross
ing, or miscalculated his position, be-
cause when the cars came together
and started to move down the track
he was struck on the shoulder and
thrown on the track directly in front
of them. The brake beam of the
first car caught him and rolled him
over and over on the track with his
feet on one rail and his head on the
other, the Mortified onlookers expect
ing every moment to see him drawn
under the wheels and terribly
mangled. Just at this moment young
Brown grabbed the endangered
watchman by one of his feet and at
tempted to pull him off the track,
but his clothing had caught in the
car and this could not be done. He
therefore threw him around into the
center of the track and told him to
lie down, but this also was impossible,
and so he was pushed along on the ties
as far as the station door when a
brakeman succeeded in stopping the
cars. Mr.. Stevens sustained three
fractured ribs and several severe cuts
and bruises about his face and body,
but it is considered that he will make
a complete recovery in due course of
time.
