INTERESTING ITEMS OF THE
WEEK IN AND AROUND
JONES CITY
The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than 350 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick-
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats—
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou-
sands of people take Scott'sRmulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott’s Bmulsion is nature’s
strength-builder. Refuse substitutes.

Cbeaanlng, Mich.—Following scath
lag criticism of the police to the col
umns of her newpaper, Miss Blanche
Ingalls was put In charge of the
Ches&ntng police department by the
village council. The posltiou wat
proffered In a spirit of sarcasm, but
Mias Ingalls accepted before tbe of
fer could be withdrawn.
For a long time Miss Ingalls had
not been in sympathy with what she
termed "lax law enforcement,” and she
threw the light Of publicity on every
flaw In the village government she
oould uncover. She bas put Into ef
feet a large number of reforniB.
Some of the reforms are:
Card games In saloons or poolrooms
prohibited.
Playing dominoes for money barred
Throwing dice tabooed.
Eighteen-year age limit for poolroon
frequenters established.
Ten o’clock closing order promul
gated.
Blanketing horses on streets or
dered.
Mias Ingalls Is fearless In the die
charge of her duties, and in enforcing
the last-mentioned order she tacklec
the so-called "bad man” of the sec
tlon and subdued him. He Is Tos
Ederley, who has whipped nearly
every man In the county and whost
open boast was that he respectec
neither sex.
Ederley drove Into town on a dry
when a sleety rain was falling. His
horse, warmed by the brisk drive, was
left standing unblanketed and steam
lng In the cold while the man enterec
a saloon. Miss Ingalls followed Eder
ley Into the barroom.
’Here you,” Bhe called to him, ”g«
out and blanket that horBe.”
Ederley enjoyed a brief moment o’
laughter.
"Oh, I gueBB I’ll not blanket the
horse," he answered, roughly.
“You hear me," Miss Ingalls an
swered. "And I want you to blanket
him right now.”
"Aw, mind your own business,’
Ederley grunted, as he poured out an
other drink of whisky
"Drop that drink and get out oi
here," Miss Ingalls ordered. ‘‘W<
want none of your ilk In Chesanlng.'
There was a sudden movement ant
a sound of breaking glass and llquoi
trickled over the bar Miss Ingalls
had knocked the glass from Kderley’s
hand as he lifted It to his lips. Ther
she locked her fingers firmly In his
*alr and conducted him to the side oi
Ills buggy.
“Now, go!" she said.
Ederley got into hls buggy and tber
'ooked at her
“Well, I'll be d—d!" was his com
ment as he snapped the reins over hls
horse's back.
Tills Is only one of the numerous
experiences the militant editor has
had since she became responsible foi
Chesaning'R behavior.
In about six months Chesnnlng wl!
be the model village of the country
Miss Ingalls believes.
