Structure cannot be changed,

in form and are either too thin
or too fat for beauty. Exercise,
therefore, is of the utmost value

To Slenderize thick calves, leg
stretching exercises are per.

are taken on tiptoe.
The following exercises were

AMENDMENTS 3 AND a

The voters of Michigan will be asked to vote on a
number of proposed amendments to the State Consttu
tion in the November election. Some of these amend
ments if enacted into law will unquesonaby bene-
fca but there others which do not deserve the
dorsement of the voters
For example, Amendments and A, which propose
eliminate sales tax certain foods and taxes on real
personal property do not constitute constructive leg
islation and should not be enacted into law.
To eliminate sales tax foods would greatly harm
our public school system which of the best in the
ported largely through derived from sales tax To
remove this source support would be to the risk
shortening the present school term reducing the num-
Der of teachers and closing many of our schools
Furthermore the removal of sales taxes would create
the necessity for providing other forms of nuisance taxa
tion and in the final ana the cost of food would not
be reduced to any appreciate degree.
The funds for old-age pensions would also be affect
ed taxes eliminated and would work great
injustice to the INDECENT aged.
We also urge the voters to defeat Amendment 4,
which proposes eliminate all real and personal taxes
except for principal and interest present debts 1t
would remove from vacant lots and vacant property
thereby promoting speculation these types of real
tate This of course would benefit the RICH but not the
poor.
remove this source income would be to undermine the
very foundation of state county, and munclpal 60
vernment in Michigan.
The enactment of such a law would severity curtall
financial means of maintaining police protection fire
fighting agencies public libraries public health depart
mens local relief public schools and other essentials OF
modern government.

held toward her the palms of both
hands and said mo more of that
now, no more of that"
Mrs. Mayfield, in telling of Di-
vines early life, said he was born
to her out of wedlock. "You know
people were not as particular then
as they are now" she said, 4" that
was fifty years or more ago. l later
married the man, Bullock, who was
the farther of my other children.
He died and l married a man by
the name of Mayfield who died
some years ago." 81 tell people that
he is not my son most of the time,
but / tell some that he is my son
but that l am not to own him. l
do that because he told me that
he was now a great leader; he says
he is going to be the father of the
world; he is going to be the mayor
of New York and that l must not
own him as a son, and he will not
own me as mother.
Asked what she thought of her
son, Mrs Mayfield said she thought
he had devised a good plan to keep
from work. Asked specifically if
she thought him God, she said "No,s
1 know he is my son and | just let
him go on with his work, as the
Lord has him and all the rest of us
in his hands. He'll make it all
right, she said. If he thinks it is all
right to help all those other peo-
pie, ride around in his big cars
with white chauffeurs and things
and not help his mother who is in
in need of help, l am not going TO
worry him, but | am in need"
Asked when she had last seen or
heard from her son, she said she
had neither seen nor heard from
him but once since he conducted
meeting in the City Auditorium
here. Once since that time, she
said, he had sent one of his work
ers here to see her and that he also
counseled her not to let anyone
know that she was the mother OF
Divine. He did not give her any
money when here nor did he send
any by the man who came to see
her about a year or more ago, she
said.
Rev. G. A. Cobbs, the man credit
ed with the discovery of the mother
of Divine, lives in the Fulton Sec
ton of Richmond and told the
PLANET he was interested in the
case simply because of his interest
in the woman's Indulgence. "She
needs help" said the Rev. Cobbs,
and I feel that her son should
help her. My only interest is from
humanitarian standpoint" he de-
clared.

Editor,

Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Sir:
Please allow space In your paper
for an announcement from me,
made necessary by certain infor-
nation which has come into my
possession Within the last few
days.
l have been approached by GER
tain of my very dear friends and
urged to run for a certain office
on stickers, assuring me of their
support. l am taking this oppor-
tunity to remind my many clients,
friends, and well-wishers in the
different parts of the city that l do
not contemplate running for any
office now nor in the near future.
Hundreds of my clients and friends
have approached me, and inquired
as to how to vote. l have taken the
pleasure to advise as best / could
and shall continue to advise with
that uninterrupted consistency
which l have endeavored to main
tain. Those with whom l have talk
ed and advised know my position;
if not, | have never been charged
with not making my position
known when necessary, and will
clarity it should the necessity de-
velop.
Those steady and aggressive
friends of mine on the West Side
who sent me to the State Conven-
ton on three occasions, and who
gave me a substantial vote for Con-
gress in 1882, may rest assured
that as long as time lasts ] shall
never forget their confidence as
demonstrated in their conduct.
The only office for which l am
running now, and for which ex-
pect to run in the future is the
continued Presidency of the
Patrick Family, and l am running
hard for that office.
Very Truly Yours,
