There are upon the skin of every human
being, child and adult alike, $780, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of invisible
perspiratioh is expelled more than one
quarter of the nOurishment taken into the
system. The Importance of keeping open
these perspiration valves upon child's body
is second only to that of properly digestiHg
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores OF
the skin and to assimilate the food that DR..
Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels,
constipation, fevers and eruptons which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t Is from the won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castoria in regulating the stomach and bow
els and keeping open the poresofthe skin that
Castoria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body, pure air
for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the
food, there need be no unnacounted for sick.
ness among children. Castoria is q vege-
table prescription without morphine or other
narcotic property. Thirty years extensive
use has given 1t a history never attained by
another medicine.

Hastings Banner: At the state press
association we met Henry b. Dewey, of the
Owosso Times, who had noticed that Hast
ings was waking up to the necessity OF Sc
curing manufacturing industries, and had
power to appropriate $4,000 in their aid.
He said "That's business, and your citizens
cannot help but be satisfied with the results.
Ten years ago Owosso had 2, 400 people, and
was one of the slowest, deadest towns in the
state. Our people walked up and began Civ
ing money to get factories. In ten years the
city has given over $50, 900, has quadrupled
i'm size, and is still booming. We will give
another $50, 900 for the same purpose if we
get the chance. AS an illustration Less
than three years ago OwOsso bonded itself
for $25, 600 to get the Il. A. A. d n. M, r..
II. shops. AS result, by men connected
with those shops, over 100000 worth of
new residences have been built the taxes on
which will more than pay the interest on
those bonds. More new houses will be put
ND by the railroad men. These shops be-
sides have added more than 500, 600 yearly
20 the business of Owosso." Our citizens
can thus see how Owosso, which ten years
ago was in the same situation as our own
city, with its trade cut off largely by new
railroads has more than made up for the loss
of trade Indeed its trade has so largely in
creased that II new stores are now being err
ected there, and instead of dull town of
9, 400 people with numerous houses to rent,
il is husting city of 10, 900 with not houses
enough for its rapidly growing population.
