Tho Farmers Wife

is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and
gives it sun bath to sweeten it. She
knows that if her churn is sour it will
taint the butter that is made in it. The
stomach is churn. In the stomach
and digestive and nutritive tracts are
performed processes which are exactly
akin to the churning of butter. Is it
not apparent then that if this stomach
churn is ''sour" it sours all which is put
into it? The evil of a foul stomach is
not the bad taste in the mouth and the
foul breath caused by it, but the cor
ruption of the pure current of the blood
and the dissemination of disease
throughout the body. DIR. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery makes the
sour. stomach sweet. 1t does for the
stomach what the washing and sun
bath do for the churn-absolutel re-
moves every tainting or corrupting
element. Golden Medical Discovery"
contains no alcohol, whisky or other
intoxicant and no narcotic.

hopelessiy Divided.

In the Chicago Record Herald of Sun
day, the Lansing correspondent of that
paper sizes up the position Of Michigan
democracy as follows;
''The efforts of the democrats Of
Michigan to get together furnish an
abundance of amusement to disinte.-
ested onl0okers. There was rantank-
erous lot of free silver men in Michigan
during the memorable campaign of 1896,
who can never forgive that very re-
spectacle minority who refused to stand
for Organism and followed the banner
of Palmer and Buckner. They hate a
gold democrat with deep and abiding
hatred, and they are suspicious of nearly
every prominent democrat who, in 1896,
was not on the stump swinging his
arms and crying about the crime of
1873.
Now that there is conceded to be
possibility that, with proper organiza-
ton and good nominations, the demo
Gratis may carry Michigan this year,
the hatred of the gold democrats is
accentuated, and a large portion of the
free silver element in the party would
sooner see the republican party tri-
umphant than to have gold democrat
honored with the nomination for
governor.
"The republicans, of course, are do
ing nothing to allay this feeling on the
part of their political adversaries, and
the indications are at present that in
stead of harmonizing the two elements
of the party, the democracy of Michigan
will be more hopelessly divided than
before"
With the exception of "conceding
that there is possibility that the demo
Gratis may carry Michigan" the review
OF the Michigan democracy is decided
ly truthful and accurate size.up.

Local Option.

The local option plan Of dealing with
the liquor traffic proves to be the most
effective working method of handling
the matter, and creates the least fric-
ton. AS rule, its operations are so
quiet that but little is said in the public
press. Here in Ohio, the Beal law is
clearing the saloons out Of many Of the
villages and small towns wherein it
could not be accomplished under the
previous township local option system.
In New York, there are 034 towns to
which local option is applicable under
the state law. The traffic is prohibited
in 2S5 Of these, leaving it in the GAO re-
manning. In Connecticut, with 1G8
towns, "a have declared for no license
and "A for license. Massachusetts has
175 incorporated cities and towns, in
125 of which the sale Of liquor is pro-
hibited.
The local option method is popular,
because it applies the principle of home
rule to the traffic. If the majority Of
the voters of municipality are opposed
to the saloon, they can vote it out, and
vice versa. AS a rule, the larger places
vote in favor of the traffic, while the
rural sections very generally oppose it.
Toledo Blade.
In strange contrast to the above is
the following statement made in letter
to The TIMES by former resident Of
the city who recently spent some time
in Eaton county. 1t is as follows:
Think if you please Of a town like
Charlotte having 13 drug stores and
more building. / saw II men and boys
in Vermontville-a place of $50 in
MISUNDERSTANDING beer in box stall
in feed barn. saw more men and
boys half drunk there under the local
option law than / have ever seen in
Ionia with her 5000 inhabitants and
II places where whiskey is sold. If old
Shiawassee ever attempts to carry local
option will do all in my power to kill
it," The gentleman who writes this is
strictly temperance man and has no
use for the saloon and its attendant evils

Reclamation Of Carson River Valley

One of the most important agricultur-
al problems in western Nevada is the
reclamation of the Carson River Valley.
This portion of the State joins the desert
country of the Basin Ranges, but the
waters of the Carson River and its
tributaries permit of irrigation and save
it from being wholly unproductive.
During the spring and early summer
the river is swollen by melting SHOWS
on the Sierra Nevadas, but later in the
season its volume becomes insignificant
and no extensive reclamation through
irrigation is possible at its lowwater
stages. Within the last few months,
however, it has become apparent,
through Investigations made by the
division of photography of the United
States Geological Survey, under the
charge of l.. H. Taylor, that with the
proper conservation of the wasted
winter and spring flow by the construc-
ton of storage reservoirs it would be
possible TO obtain enough water to
irrigate not less than 1870, 200 acres of
land now lying arid, besides materially
increasing the reliability of the supply
for lands already under cultivation.
With this amount of land reclaimed for
farming purposes, it is estimated that
an increase in property values in the
section reclaimed would amount to sever
al million dollars The estimated cost
of this storage is less than seven dollars
for each acre which can be irrigated, or
about 100000 for the total acreage re-
claimed.

OWOSSO, FRIDAY, JULY 1S, 1902.
Mr.. chaddook and Governor Bliss.

II don't believe in boiling, and / do
believe that all such talk will soon
down. Governor Bliss has been re-
nominated and it is the duty of the
republican party of Michigan to stand
by him. John B. Chaddock
No one who knows Mr.. Chaddock ever
suspected that he would take any other
position. In the above interview, which
appeared first in the Detroit Journal,
he spoke his honest sentiments He is
a republican.
Mr.. Chaddock's expression is signiti-
cant because it comes from one who
was an earnest friend of Mr.. Stearns
both this year and two years ago. He
stood Loyalty by his candidate as he was
in honor bound to do. But when the
convention declared for Bliss, he was
for Bliss. The majority rules. Mr..
Chaddock's attitude towards Bliss is
just what he would have expected that
Of the Bliss men to be towards Stearns,
had the result in the state convention
been reversed.
1t is the essence of political chivalry
to shake hands and be friends after the
scrap is over.
All efforts to get the Stearns follow
ing in this vicinity to take hostile
position toward Governor Bliss since
his nomination have failed utterly.
They are true as steel, and will remain
so.-Ionia Sentinel.
The above from the pen of Gen. Kidd
of the Ionia Sentinel, is directly to the
point and is the very best kind of
political sense.
