COMPANY DOES MVCH TO MAKE
WORK OP ITS EMPLOYES
DELIGHTFUL.
Welfare work in the Upjohn company
Is taking great strides.
The latest addition to the comprehensive
system which that company
is installing is a shower bath room
and dressing rooms for the young
women employed in the various departments
of tho Upjohn company.
Build Elaborate Balha.
Three marble showers and four
large airy dressing rooms are now under
construction on the second floor
west side of the building. The men
already have their showers. There is
a plan under way now, not fully completed,
by which the girls will be allowed
time each week for bathing on
. on the company's time, if they prefer
S
to take hot and cold showers at the
factory rather than bathe at home.
The showers will be at the service
of the girls after hours anyway, but
this special arrangement would accommodate
many.
The emergency hospital or "first
aid" room at the Upjohn company is
a model of up-to-date apparatus and
sanitary precautions. It is perhaps
impossible to estimate tho real welfare
work done In this department
and blood poisoning and suffering
prevented by tho proper care of small
cuts and wounds.
First Aid Equipment.
The first aid room contains a
sterilizer, couch, a wheel chair in
which patients can be brought to the
first aid room and all the necessary
instruments to take care of injuries.
The dining room for the employes,
which is also a part of the welfare
work for Upjohn men and women is
a beautiful largo room, in which
about 100 people eat each noon. This
dining room has grown from a tiny
room in one end of the building to a
huge department with scorces of
tables. When a dining room was first
Installed, it was an experiment. But
It proved such a success and was so
popular with employes that more
iartitions have been knocked out
? rom time to time until now the entire
end of the building is used for the
dining room. Spacious rooms are also
used for the kitchen and rooms
where the food is prepared.
Luncheons Are Economical.
The most important items on the
bill of fare are gratis to all employes.
Bread, fruit, cake and many other
things, which are changed each day
r are a cent each. It is understood
" that no men could possibly consume
more than ten cents worth of dinner
when he adds the gratis dishes. A
feast can be gotten for seven cents,
and enough for several people for 16
cents.
Other plans for the welfare of the
Upjohn employes will be worked out
from time to time as these caring for
the deem that experiment.
WILL I K
ON SEGH
OF CIST
"Bob" Johnson Will Deliver Powerful
Address at Tabernacle
Tonight.
"The Second Coming of Jesus
Christ" will be the subject of "Bob"
Johnson tonight at the tabernacle.
He says that this important question
is seldom talked about, although
it Is mentioned 389 times in the old
testament and 318 times in the new
testament.
He promises to give a talk tonight
with a message for thousands and
hope sthere will be a large attendance.
SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
COLLECT OLD PAPERS
More than a ton of old papers has
already been collecced at the Woodward
avenue school since school opened,
according to announcement made
today by the principal of the school
James Starkweather.
The children of the school are
asked to bring all the old magazines
and newspapers they can collect to
the school. These are then sold to
the paper mills, and the money is
used to buy apparatus and equipment
which the school childern and their
teachers want, which the board of
education has no appropriation for in
the budget.
APPEAL MADE FOR
FRESH-AIR KIDDIES
When canning this year, the housewives
of the city are urged by the
Kalamazoo Anti-Tuberculosis Society
to put up a few extra cans of fruit
and vegetables for the little kiddles
at the open air school. ,
The point Is brought out that Ithe
children need the fruits and vegetables
and they are so reasonable at
this time of the year that housewives
are putting them up by the bushel.
If each one would put up a few cans
with the open air school in mind, It
would mean much
to the children
during the coming winter.
The address of the open air school
Is 421 Pine street, directly back of the
Lovell street school. It Is open until
4 o'clock each afternoon.

Much Interest Being Shown in
Event to Be Held on
Octobcr 11.
Unusual interest is being shown in
the recital which will be given Monday
evening, October 11, at the First,
Baptist church under the direction of
the Sherwood School of Music when
the artists will bo Miss Georgia Kober
of Chicago, pianist and Parmelia
Newby Gale contralto, both of the
faculty of the Sherwood Conservatory.
Tickets were placed on sale today
at the Colman Drug store, and it is
probable that the high grade of the
program to be given will assure an
Immense audience for the concert.
The Kalamazoo representatives of
the Sherwood school includ Miss Victoria
McLaughlin, Miss Frances Leavens.
Mrs. E. A. Read, Miss Pearl
Chllson and Mrs. Leonora Meyers.

A. B. Connable Alleges Tliat Payment
On Xotes Ha« Not
Been Made.
Former Mayor A. B. Connable has
brought a $40,000 damage suit against
Dallas county. Mo., to recover money
on a note, issued at the time of the
construction of a railroad In that part
of the state. Louis Krughoff was
awarded a judgement against the
county for $24,647.31 of which sum
It was specified that $3,850.65 was
to bear interest at ten percent and
the balance at six percent. Nothing
It Is alleged has been paid on the
note which the Kalamazoo man later
bought from Krughoff. The suit Is
brought In the federal court for the
southern division of the western district
of Missouri. The notes were
issued in October, 1905.
PYTHIAN SISTERS
GIVE AID TO SOCIETY
The Kalamazoo Anti-Tuberculosis
society has again been favored with
a fine service rendered by the Pythian
Sisters. Twelve woolen blankets that
have been used during the year, were
nicely bound and put In good order,
ready for cold weather. The Kalamazoo
Laundry Company was also helpful
In cleaning, without cost, the blankets
and suits used by the children at
the Open Air school. These favors
are greatly appreciated by the officers
who bear the responsibility of
carrying on the j work.
M'CORraCK SALES CO,
TO GIVE AWAY $10,000
lialamazoo Prosperity Week visitors
are to receive $10,000. And the Mc-
Cormick Sales company is going to
make the gift. This is the way they
will do it. You see the McCormick
Sales company is the local representative
of the Hupmobile. And so during
Prosperity Week, just to share their
prosperity with the visitors, they arc
planning to give to every person who
purchases a five passenger Hupmobile
during Prosperity week, a check for
S110, and to every person who purchases
a seven passenger Hupmobile
during Prosperity week, a check for
$125 will be given.
This insures that all Kalamazoo
visitors who are interested in automobiles
will visit the headquarters of
this concern at West North and
Douglas avenue and avail themselves
of this splendid offer which holds
good only during this one big eventful
week.
A woman's heart never really flutters
with joy until her pastor tells her
he has missed seeing her at church.
Fall Planting for Spring
Bulbe Already Begun by Many
Garden lovers who wish tl^eir gardens
or the ground around their
houses to be rich with narcissus and
jonquils, should begin their work
without delay, for fall is the time to
plant the bulbs of these flowers. The
work should be undertaken as soon
as, or even before, an early frost has
weakened the annual flowers in the
bed.
In the case of narcissus, many
households will find it advantageous
to naturalize the plant so that it
grows ahd blossoms on the lawn much
as the wild flowers do. In many of
the parks of the larger estates of
England, in portions of North Carolina,
on estates along the James river.
In Virginia, and In old New England
gardens, narcissuses that were planted
over half a century ago are still
vigorous and produce every spring a
beautiful display of blossoms..
To naturalize the narcissus it should
be planted in the sod or partial shade.
Make a small hole In the soil five or
six inches deep. Insert the bulb,
pointed end up, and press the soil
over the top. Planting In rows of
geometrical figures should be avoided.
An easy method of accomplishing
. this Is to scatter the bulbs as if one
were sowing seed, and then plant
them where they happen to fall.
When the tulip and narcluss bulbs
are planted in the beds, the surface
of the soil should be loosened after
each rain and the bed kept free from
weeds. In the late fall an early winter
It is well to cover the beds with
a light mulch of straw or leaves, to
prevent injury from alternate freezing
and thawing. This much should
be gradually removed In spring when
the growth appears above the ground.
If the soli Is well drained, the bulbs
will not be Injured by severe cold.
Under suitable conditions, tulip and
narcissus plants will Increase from
year to year. The bulbs, therefore,
may be left in the ground for two or
three seasons until the clumps begin
to crowd. It Is then desirable to transplant
them. This should be done from
BIX to eight weeks after the spring
blossom In order to allow the foliage
to die down partially. The bulbs
should be lifted with a spade or fork
aud after the soil has been shaken
from the roots, stored in a cool, shady
place. When the old leaves and roots
are thoroughly dry, they may be
rubbed off and the clusters of bulbs
divided. These bulbs may be planted
as the original bulbs were. In this
way within a few years a stock of
bulbs Is very considerably increased.

Ig Still In Counv
ty Jail.
A warrant charging larceny of more
than 126 was Issued against James
Zohkarekiek, In municipal court this
morning. It is believed that he will
be arraigned during the early afternoon.
Zohkarekiek, WM placed tinder arrest
by Turnkey Tom Dorgan Tuesday
morning after he had been shadowed
lor more than two weeks by Kerel
Kosha, whom he is accused of robbing.
The prisoner still retains the reticence
he has displayed since the
time of his arrest and declines absolutely
to discuss the case with those
about the jail.
SCHOOL CHILDREN
BUY LIGHT SLIDES
The children and teachers of the
Frank street school have decided to
take a step never taken by any local
public school before.
Principal A. N. DeLong announced
this morning that they have definitely
decided to purchase a $300 set of educatlpnal
lantern elides, fwhlch will
deal With historical, Industrial, agricultural
and many other subjects
which the youngsters are studying.
To take such a task on themselves
means many hours after school hours
will have to be spent by the teachers
and children, who will pay for the
slides by giving entertainments and
programs. The spirit of oo-operatlon
and optimism, which the children
and teachers show about the task Is
ample witness of what success they
will have In soon owning the slides.
TROPICAL STORM DID
NOT HIT GALVESTON
GALVKSTON, Texas, Sept. as—This
city today felt no effects of the tropical
storm which has gone Inland over
Louisiana. All wires out of the city
are working. The Western Unltm reported
that its wires near New Or-
Means were down, but no wire trouble

IN DAiuiiUE DECISION
LANSING, Mich., Sept. 30.—In an
opinion renderea yesterday, the supreme
court affirmed the judgment of
the Kent circuit in the case of Harry
Hoover vs. the Detroit, Grand Haven
and Milwaukee. Hoover's two-yearold
son was killed In the D. G. & H.
tracks two years ago and he sued tho
cofnpany.
The supreme court reversed the
conviction of Charles Dixon, a Holding
theater owner who was found guilty

OFFICERS WILL GET
PART PAY IN INGHAM
(By Anoelated PreM.)
MASON. Mich.. Sept. 80.—Ingham
county officers will have to go without
full pay this month, because there
Is only about $500 In the contingent
found and the monthly salaries aggregate
from $1,700 to $2,000. Tho order
for salaries will be drawn Thursday
as payment Is made the last day
of each month. On October 11, the
board of supervisors will meet and
will mako some provision for additional
money for the contingent fund,
so that the salaries for September and
those in the future may be taken care
of. The present condition obtains because
the appropriations for the. fiscal
year were not sufficiently large.
The girls should take care: A lot
of the young boys who pose as candy
kids develop later in life Into lemon
drops.
