OWN A HOME
True Contentment Comes to the Home
Owner and His Family.
Let your first investment be- a home.
Have your children a house to live
in or a home to love in?
Don't be content tp raise your child-
. ten under another man's roof. *
Is your family just a few people liv-
. ing, together, or, have you a home?
JVJany men hayen't the money to
build only because they have not the
courage' to save. -        .
It's a tough thing to walk a towfl of
homes -and know that none of them is
yours.
, What will.be your children's recol-
" lection of home—a house you owned
or^-i house you rented? \ '
;   No man-is too poor to build.as long
as he is spending money for  some
.luxury he could deny himself.
Mf your living in a.house makes'the
house more valuable, if the' house
were yours you would reap' the profit.
Think over all the investments of
which you'have heard; how many who
haye invested in a ,hi>me have lost
their money?    • ■
The Difference Between "The Summer,
Girl" and "The Summer \yoimui."
While the former is having a good
time, the latter is too often dragging
around nervous, run down, tired out,
with aching back .and weary limbs,
sleepless and wretched. Often it is kidney trouble, not female trouble, and Foley Kidney Pills are a direct and positive
. help for the condition.     O..C. Wheeler.
Societies Do Good Work.
Many interesting items appear in
the June number of the Bulletin of
the Michigan Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis,
which is just out of the press. Reviews of papers dealing with various
phases of tuberculosis work are given;
including "The Reduction in the Tuberculosis Death Rate, 1871-1912,"
"Relation of Industries to Tuberculosis," "The Anti-Tuberculosis Movement and Its Relation to the Campaign Against Other Preventable Diseases," "Tuberculosis and Public
Health,". "The Tuberculosis Problem
of the Country and Small Towns,"
etc. One extremely interesting paper
on "The Relation of Public and Private Agencies to the Anti-Tuberculosis
Campaign," by Dr. A. S. Warthin of
Ann Arbor, is given in full.
The Bulletin, is accompanied by a
52-page supplement amply illustrated.
It gives the report of the work of the
state and local anti-tuberculosis societies for 1912, a report of the 1912 seal
sale and the work of allied organizations of the State.
Both the Bulletin and the supplement will'be sent free to any of our
readers who are interested in the work
of this Association if they will write
to the secretary, Carol F. Walton,
Medical building, Ann Arbor, Mich.

A HERO'S GRAVE, UNKNOWN
Man of Notable History Lies Buried In
Oaktyood Cemetery.        N
A few people in, this community
know that a soldier of the Revolutionary war is buried in Oakwood cemetery,
but the large majority of our citizens
are not aware of that fact.
I haye secured from the Daughters
of the Americanslievolution the "following facts, which show that a man of
notable history lies buried in our cemetery.
Archibald Armstrong entered the
army of the Revolution before he was
twenty years old and fought in many
battles, the most conspicuous of which
was the battle of Brandywine. He was
present and beat the drum in the death
march atthe execution of Major Andre.
He was in the battle of Yorktown, and
aided in firing the salute of victory at
the surrender of Cornwallis, which
marked the close-of the Revolution and
the beginning of Independence.
Mr. Armstrong resided in the state
of New York after the close of the war,
and came from there to Michigan in
1840, to the farm in Saline township
now owned by George Feldkamp.
From there he moved to a farm near
the town hall in Pittsfield township,
where he lived with a niece until he
died in 1850.
At "that time it was the custom for
any one to select the spot chosen for
burial, as no sexton was in charge and
no record was' kept. There appears to
have heen no. marker on this grave,
and the lapse of ^ time has obliterated
all traces of the spot. We know he lies
buried somewhere in our cemetery,
but-no one knows Where and. perhaps
no one ever will know the exact spot.
The JD. A. R. will provide a regulation marker and the board of cemetery
trustees will furnish a spot where it
will.be placed. If the precise place of
his interment can not be found; it is
fitting that the fact of his resting place
being in our cemetery should be made
known, to perpetuate the "memory of
one w*hose life was bound up in heroic
.and illustrious deeds; who Helped to
prepare the -way for the glorious country of which every "American is <so
proud. •     -
If any one who~reads this knows
anything tnore about Archibald Armstrong,   his"  relatives  or his  grave,-
please^e'ommunicate the same to me.
