trio company. bought a street rail-
way line. bag and baggage during
I the past week

no little amount OF comment around

prosperous in appearance these days.
Here he is with two suits OF cloth
ing. All can remember when he
didn't have nothing to wear but a
pair Of overalls.
But despite all these outward
signs OF prosperity. Mr.. Bryan has
gotten himself into a fearful mess

chased runs through Benton Harbor

These bewhiskered gents have
some OF the best jobs in the town,
including the posts of motormen and

Bryan has just purchased. AS Mr..
Heckaman's life's work is cutting
hair and shipping whiskers, ii was

the action I have already outlin-
ed with rEerence 10 the employees
OF your railroad.
There are many reasons why
YOU should take this action. be-
sides that OF accommodating an old
friend. by throwing me this bust
ness. The last time 1 rode on one
of these Benton Harbor cars. I
was unable TO see out OF the win
dow on either side Of the car, be-
cause OF the waving whiskers on
the motorman. The whiskers
streamed back TO nearly the end
of the car. causing no end Of dis
comfort for the passengers. once
the motorman's whiskers got fast
ened in a tree. and the car had TO
be stopped and the whiskers un-
tangled. Traffic was tied up for
upwards Of an hour.
I handed my ticket TO the con-
ductor TO be punched. which he
did. but he punched his whiskers
too at the same time, and my
pockets were filled with hair for
two months afterwards. 1 got
in awful bad with my wife on this
occasion. She found the hair in
my vest pocket. where 1 carried
my ticket. and she thought 1 had
been out with another woman.

why you should shut down your
old railroad for a day ard bring
your employees to South Bend TO

YOUR HEALTH By cd DR.: r, S
Copeland

can hardly bear TO think OF the suf-
ferings of a friend and patient Of
mine who died of tetanus. Though
years have passed, I shudder when
memory recalls the scene.
am glad that science has found
a way since then of dealing with
lockjaw. An antitoxin has been dis
covered which counteracts the issues
Of the disease. In the war it was
used systematically in all dirt-in-
fected wounds.
Should an accident occur on the
Fourth Of July or at any other time,
sc that street dust or stable dirt is
ground into the tissues. go at once
to your doctor and take his advice
about treatment. For some reason
the palms of the hands appear to be
particularly susceptible 10 this form
Of infection. Wounds of this region
require special care.
Every board of health and most
drug store carry the antitoxin in
stock. Bear this in mind
Everybody should know some
thing about first aid, and every
home, shop and factory should be
equipped with the simple remedies
and dressings. Never take a chance
about injuries Attend TO them ear
~ and avoid evil consequences.
Fortunately, our powers OF resist
ance are usually pretty high. and we
throw off the effects OF ordinary in
lection. Good health is a great pro-
tector. 1t pays US TO keep we'll and
strong. because this condition is life,
and -health-insuranc of the very
best sort.

Pretty soon the Fourth of July
will here That is the boys day. II
is still q day of noise in many places
the day of fire-crackers and can
non.
Unfortunately, the Fourth OF
July is not only day of natural re-
jOicing and Qualification, but il is a
day Of explosions. powder burns and
endless accident.
The day after the Fourth used TO
be the one day Of the year when the
newspapers were filled with reports
OF death and injury from accidental
causes. Since the advent OF the
automobile. every Monday is record
day for such reports. We have too
many IS. & s." drivers-persons
who buy cars on Saturday and
drive them for the first time on Sun
day. The highways are crowded,
recklessness prevails. and accidents
are the natural result.
A clean wound is never particu-
larly serious. A wound into which
dirt has been carried is always\ser-
ious 1t is especially serious II the
dirt is the filth of the street or the
filth of the stable or barnyard.
This Is because such dirt may
carry the germs of tetanus Of lock-
jaw. The germ is found in the in
! testines Of horses and cattle, so any
Isoil contaminated by the excretions
of animals may be infected with this
agent.
Lockjaw Is a very serious and fire.
quently fatal disease. The agony of
the sufferer is terrible TO behold. l

MIXED POLITICS WITH DRINKS.

These are rather rerilous days for the manor
the newspaper organ-that attempts TO bindly fol-
low the administration and uphold the party
no matter what it does
Increasingly difficult is It becoming for those who
are appealing for the reelection Of congressman on
the basis Of their having voted for the Volstead
sct. attempting to gloss over derelictons or omis-
slons by the CRY that 10 defeat a return
cf booze.
For now it appears that the cabinet is becoming
somewhat moist and that the close advisors OF the
president are behind a suggestion TO the bonus
with tax on wines and beers.
or course the suggestion comes from the practical
politicians in the cabinet who would serve the
double purpose Of attempting to get in right with
the soldiers and at the same time hold out nope 70
the liquor interests
That such plea will ever gain any great head
way is unthinkable, but is does to disclose
the fact that the party power is horeless tangle
OF reaction and conservatism OF vice and virtue, OF
the maynard and the wise.
II may serve as a warning 10 the independent
voter that he should for specific specifications
when the spelbnders appeal for his vote on the
ground Of "upholding the hands of the president"
lie might inquire just what is in the presidents
hands at the time, whether it is permit for
saloon or a new dry law. a bonus another delay,
a privileged tariff or a concession to the formers
tIoc.
The damp part of the party. before It launches
any open campaign for its new idea should study
the results OF prohibition and save their time and
