Kirk Will Make the Run.
Petitions for the nomination of Gen.
John P. Kirk for circuit court Judge
are being circulated. Gen. Kirk Friday stated that he was going to be a
candidate and that under no circumstances would he decline to make the
race.
He said: "I am in the run to stay,
no matter who is against me."
The only other possible candidate
who is thought to be'a probable one
as well is Attorney George Sample of
Ann Arhor, who, though refusing to
state his position, is understood to he
ready to run. Chelsea and Milan men
whose names -were mentioned: at an
earlier date have stated their intention of keeping out of* the running.
Judge Kinne has finally refused to he-
come a candidate for re-election, so
that the fight will he between Kirk
and Sample, according to present indications.—Ypsilanti Press.
A Message of Mope.
A state hoard of health nurse is at
work in the counties where tuberculosis surveys were held late in 1915
and early in 1916 with a view of determining the present condition of
the persons diagnosed! in the public
clinics as "positive" cases of tubercu^
losis. The report of her work shows
that ahout eighty per cent of the cases
are in improved physical health, and
of this eighty per cent a respectable
proportion of persons are either entirely well again or so far on the way
that perfectly restored health is in
sight for them.
The report of the follow-up nurse
proves, the state board of health
workers declare, that the tuberculosis
survey means a message of*, hope to
the people of the state, not of despair.
