Ought, II would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents OF thickly populated. cities.
But there Is no exemption from disease,
and in the country, as In the city, one
may see the cheeks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use OF DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. IL cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding Of the lungs
and other symptoms which, II neglected
or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action Of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing Of vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Emaciation, and consequent loss Of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms OF what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body Is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause OF this
lack OF nourishmeut is not lack Of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs Of digestion and nutfi-
ton 10 prepare the food for the assimila-
ton and nutrition Of the body. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
OF digestion and nutrition, and 5 en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength in the only way by which
strength can come that is, by food per-
fectly digested and assimilated.

Primary Election Law.

Some people seem to have an idea that
a primary election law. concerning which
there has been SO much discussion for
in the columns of the press and among
the people, would be panacea for all
political ills.
1t is said that the present caucus and
convention system leads to the nomina-
ton and election of public officers who
are not the choice of the people, and in
some instances this statement no doubt
is true.
Granting such to be the case, would
the system Of direct nomination of can
didates by vote of the people be any
more apt to reflect the will of the people?
Suppose all candidates were to be
nominated by the proposed primary cleo
ton system, what would be the result?
Take the case of a congressional dis
trict, for illustration. Would not every
county have its candidate, and could not
and would not the county having the
largest voting population control the
Nomination. OF course this might pos
oiDiy DO PlCNChbCd Dl Vi
other counties, provided such combina-
ton could be effected, but the nominee
could scarcely be expected in any event,
To obtain more than bare plurality of
votes. To be the first choice of major
ity of his party constituents, a candidate
would have to possess more than an ordi-
nary degree of popularity.
And when it comes to nominations for
county officers. the chances of a candi-
date being the choice of more than a
small plurality of the voters of his party
are still less. Take Van Buren, county.
for instance, and for the principal offices
aspirants might be found in every town.
ship, but what hope of success could a
candidate residing say in Hamilton or
Almena have when opposed by candi-
date from South Haven or Paw Paw?
1t would be much easier for two or
three OF the most populous towns in the
county TO control and secure for them
selves all the desirable positions on the
county ticket than it is under the caucus
and convention system, and the proba-
bility of a candidate nominated under the
primary system being the choice of only
a small plurality of his party would be
much greater than under the present
system.
The proposed system is such radical
change that it would appear the better
policy to go slow in the matter. If there
are localities like Wayne and Kent that
want to try the new way, let them have
the opportunity, but it is to be hoped no
general primary election law will be en-
acted until the new plan has been
thoroughly tried and the people desire
and demand the change.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
In pruning or cutting back young
peach orchard does it make any differ
ence which way the last bud points?
Ans. The last or terminal bud of
peach, or any other fruit, should be well
selected and point toward the prevailing
wind, so as to form the top in that direc-
ton and avoid the general leaning of the
orchard in the opposite direction.
What causes pear blight and why is it
that uncultivated orchards are consid-
cred less liable to attack than those that
are well cared for?
Ans. The common twig blight is of
bacterial origin, being very active germ
which, when in contact with the bark of
the pear, soon finds its way to the sap
and causes fermentation and as soon as
the sap begins to sour you can easily see
where the trouble is; usually cutting off
Just below the injury will rid the trees of
the disease. The only reason an uncared
for orchard does not show blight is that
it hasn't sap enough to sour. Any pear
orchard that has got sap enough to grow
will blight, and the stronger the growth
the more liable to blight.
