ton lying west Of Lake Michigan
which included the area now
known as Wisconsin, Iowa, Mime
sofa, and parts of North and South
Dakota. When the original Terri
tory of Michigan applied in 1887
for admission as a state, there
existed a bitter dispute between
that territory and the State of
Ohio as to the boundary line be-
tween them, Michigan claiming
an area which would have given
her the port of Toledo at. the
southern tip of Lake Michigan,
and to settle that dispute amic-
ably, Congress gave to Michigan
the area now known as the North
ern Peninsula" which subsequent.
ly became extremely valuable
through the development of it's
great copper and iron and timber
interests. The section at the west
which had been temporarily at
tached to Michigan was then es-
tablished as the TERRITORY of Wis

1892, and Tennessee in 1896. In
1900 the western part of the terri
tory northwest of the Ohio and ex-
tending to the Mississippi and the
Canadian line was cut off and es-
tablished under the title of Indiana
Territory and in 1903 the State of
Ohio established. In 1905 the ter

as the Territory of Michigan"

gave to the new United States Of
America the entire area extending
to the Mississippi at the west and

Although rain threatened in the eve

Of the buildings on the east side of Main

The display opened shortly before $50

SUNLIGHT AND HEALTH.
Worlds Greatest Antiseptic Is Proven
tive OF Diseases.


A committee Of wise men IS at present
sitting in London to ascertain and ad-
wise the government on the effects o.
sunlight on the human body in health
and disease There has never been
clearer indication of the direction III
which all our thoughts are turning.
For the ''return of the sun In
medical sense-has been growing in vol
ume during the last few years. The
great sun baths Of the high Alps are ont
expression of it. Another is the wonder

ever experienced was the lowest on re
cord OIL to 1000 pOpulationl.
The sun, in fact, is the world anti

shadow rises-that Is, as the sunshine

other words, it seems as though tlmt
was required for the germs OF disease
to profit by the withdrawal OF then
great enemy Like the eyildoer they
seem to love the darkness and grow
and flourish in it.
Meanwhile, of course, the temperature
of the air is falling. This lowers human
resistance Thus, perhaps at the mo,
ments when the germ his increased and
multiplied its strength its victims have
lost some of their powers of defense,
Is this be, indeed, the correct reading
of the genesis of our annual winter cpl

the sur more than we do. We must moi
shut out its antiseptic rays from our

1t may sound an extreme statement
but there is reason to think that
smokeless atmosphere would do more t.
rid us of our diseases than any Other
conceivable means OF prevention. w

The uncertainty in the production OF

The fruit is very mnch like the lime in
