JOHN Q. A. COOK.
A Deserving Candidate for Representative
from Shiawassee County.

A Deserving Candidate for Representative
from Shiawassee County
From the Perry Journal.
Among the aspirants for the nomination
as candidate for representative from this
county no more worthy one can be found
then John @. A. Cook, Of Antrim.
Mr.. Cook has been life long republic
can and during almost all of his manhood
years he has been member of the county
committee. He is therefore thoroughly
conversant with the interests and necess-
ties of our county, and would be an excel
lent man to represent 1t.
Not only is Mr.. Cook loyal citizen, but
he has also proved himself a good soldier.
He enlisted in the first company of three
year men who were sent from this county
In the war of the rebellion and was then
but eighteen years of age. He, with his
regiment, participated in every battle and
skirmish up to Gettysburg. He was dis
charged on account of sickness and re-en-
listed as private with the Tenth Michigan
Cavalry. Through the influence of the
captain of his old company In the Fifth
regiment, he was promoted to the Lieuten-
ancy. He served about three years.
Mr. Cooks educational qualifications are
most satisfactory. In addition to two years
in the Corunna High School, he spent three
years at the University at Ann Arbor.
Thinking that farming would be better
suited to his health, he then engaged in
that occupation and today is highly respect
ed by his host of farmer friends because he
has made success of It,
The second year after his return from
Ann Arbor he was elected supervisor and
for eight years discharged the duties of that
Office with answering fidelity to the inter-
ests Of his constituents and of the county.

Big Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since Danville, Ill.,, jury Or
dered the male defendant in a breach of
promise case to pay the competent sum of
$54, 1913 3S to the afflicted fair one. Though
1t is pretty high estimate of blighted affec-
ton, there is another estimate which, il not
in dollars and cents exactly as high, yet in
general consideration of excellence reaches
as lofty an altitude. This is the estimate of
the people as to the efficacy of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as remedy for cOnstipa-
ton. The action OF this gentle but effective
laxative is never accompanied by the grip
ing so marked in the operation of most
cathartics. 1t is an Incompatible remedy
for and preventive of malarial, rheumatic
and kidney complaints, and promoter of
appetite and sleep.

Some of the nagging campaign orators on
the side of the republicans will probably
make some pertinent inquiries during the
fall of Jerry Simpson and his ilk about
their pet theory of two years ago, that the
price of silver regulates the price of wheat.
Silver seems to have had a pretty hard time
ever since to regulate itself, and has fallen
steadily, while wheat has as steadily com.
manded high water prices.

The fact that Colonel Bryan has not been

that he has nothing to say, but rather to

Alunliniun, and Iron.

1t Is found that the addition of from two
to five pounds Of aluminium to Il ton of
iron renders 1t graycr and softer, the Stag
rising rapidly and completely to the sur
face ard leaving The metal in a far purcr
and better condition than before. In this
case, too, the iron is more fluid in tho
lndlc and can be poured into small molds
without any tendency to chill, and the for
nation OF "wastor' castings, duo to blow
holes, Is entirely avoided. Tho aluminium
does not reduce the melting point of cast
iron or steel, but increases its fuidity by
he cmova of impurities. But the effect
OF q small proportion of aluminium upon
steel with medium carbon is to increase
Its tcnacity and impnir Its ductiiity. 1t
Elay also be used In the same proportion

only one shop in all London that could
