From the Cadillac News and Express.
Unless it shall happen that the canvass
now about to be entered upon by the
several aspirants for the republican
nomination for governor proves an ex-
ception to the recent rule it will be in
teresting and valuable to those who are
particularly interested in the subject OF
primary elections. 1t seems to be the
thought of those who desire that county
and district and state conventions shall
be done away with, that the evils they
have in mind in connection with party
nominations are principally chargeable
10 the conventions. On the contrary
we believe it to be true that nine-tenths
of all the money that is spent to control
nominations, and the greater part of all
the improper use Of Influence" in it's
many forms, are made use of to control
the primaries and caucuses and that
such expenditures of money and such
use of other legitimate and illegitmate
means of controlling the primaries
would not only be continued but they
would prove greater EVIL when the
primary had the first and last voice in
the selection of candidates than they are
under present conditions.
We are told that candidates are al
ready planning for their contests. They
are opening headquarters in some of the
larger cities and are selecting city and
county managers. These managers are
we'll paid for their services, it is assumed,
and their duties will be to see to it that
the primaries are carried for their candi-
dates. More money will be expended to
influence the selection Of delegates in
cities and counties having primary cleo
tion privileges than in cities and counties
where the usual caucuses and conven-
tions are held.
1t is hardly necessary to do more at
this time than TO ask those who sincere
ly deplore the expenditure of money in
connection with nominations, and who
desire to prevent it, to note for what
purposes money is now being expended
and will be expended during the next
three or four months. In the light of
the information thus gained we hardly
think the candid observer will further
look upon primary elections as a means
through which the corruption hereto
fore charged in connections with nomi-
nations will be avoided.

A letter from Menominee, Mich,
says that the Bay City Chemical Co.
has closed contract with the Menomi-
nee River Sugar Co. by which it will
secure the juice of the sugar beets
ground at the Menominee plant after
the sugar has been extracted, The juice
is being stored in large tanks, and will
be shipped to Bay City to enter into the
manufacture of alcohol. Four years
ago this juice went to waste at the sugar
plants. Then some one discovered its
value, big chemical plant was erected
at Bay City, and contracts for juice
were secured from 16 Of the II sugar
factories in Michigan The plant has
a capacity of 100, 600 gallons of alcohol
a day, and last year paid in revenue to

Mother Love Prevailed.

A valuable mare and colt, owned by
Abidah Hayes near the Ohio and In
diana boundary on the Big Four rail
road, recently escaped from the barn
yard just as fast freight approached,
says the Horseman. The colt, whose
four weeks of life had been insufficient
to acquaint it with the vociferous harm
lessness of q railroad train seen at a dis
lance, became frightened and ran on
the track ahead of the engine. Almost
instantly the cowcatcher of the engine
thrust its nose beneath the colt and a
sudden shake of the engine jerked the
animal upon its iron frame, where it
hung helpless and terrified, but out Of
danger. The intelligent mother gallop-
ell frantically after the colt, jumping
fences and uttering neighs distinctly
audible above the roar of the cars
The mare appeared so frantic with grief
that the trainmen slowed down and
finally stopping, nearly two miles from
the point of collision with the colt, re-
moved the youngster uninjured from
its perilous position. Witnesses of the
meeting between the two animals say it
was enough to move one to tears. The
mother caressed the little one, who
jumped up and down and acted in the
most exuberant manner. The last seen
Of the pair the mare was holding her
nose against the colts head, as if whis-
pering her joy.

Consumption is a human

SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Plant a Tree This We ar.

1t is almost the season for shade tree
and shrubbery planting and there i:
nothing which adds so much to the
beauty of property as rows of handsome
shade trees. 1t costs money to build
good roads, but the planting OF trees
and shrubbery along the roadside costs
only the effort on the part of the land
owner. A row of naples or elms, or
any of a half a dozen other reliable
forest trees can be transplanted from the
wood lot in the fall or spring and give
only small bit of attention to become
valuable and attractive. Tree planting
along the country roads is the easiest
method of rural adornment, and also the
cheapest. 1t is something to be encour-
aged. The farmer who plants the trees
will leave landmarks which wilr serve
to recall his memory long after the stone
erected to his memory in the cemetery
will have grown over with moss.-Ex.

It Worked The Other Way
The Dinsley Tariff Has Proveda Pro
moter of Foreign Trade.

When the Dingley Protective Tariff
was under discussion thirteen of the
leading industrial countries of the
world protested against its adoption,
on the ground that it would decrease
American imports from their respective
countries, but it has worked the other
way. The record of such imports from
ten of the thirteen countries shows an
increase each year from 1898 to 1908,
bat it is only necessary TIC quote the fig
ures, as below, for the years 1898 and
1908 to prove the point:

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell-like
pink beneath the finger nails, the deli
cate rose Of the cheek, the cherry ripe
ness of the lips, the irridesent brilliance
of the eyes are all produced by the blood
Just as the permanence Of beautiful
painting will depend upon the purity Of
the colors with which it is painted, so
the permanence of beauty depends on the
purity of the blood. Paint, powder and
cosmetics won't avail to preserve beauty.
Beauty begins in the blood. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a true
beautifier, because it provides for nature
that pure blood with which alone she
can paint. The use of this medicine
will cleanse the skin, heighten The COM
plexion, brighten the eyes, and give to
face and form that radiance of health
which is the greatest charm of beauty

fective in Kidding the system of clogging

stipated habit.

DR.. j. H. Kellogg, of the Battle Creek
sanitarium, has been making unique
investigation for the last two years, one
never before undertaken. The doctor
has made an examination of 16, 600 stom-
achs for the purpose of determining the
relations of food to indigestion. He
took the different kinds of stomach
germs, placed them in different kinds
of foods, put them in tubes and watched
the results. The two important facts
discovered were: That the germs that
infest the stomach could not be made to
grow in fruit juice; that fruit juice
could not support germ life. No germs
could be found alive in the juices after q
few hours. They would grow in the
extract of grains, though not very Wig.
orously, but in beef tea the most deadly
and virulent germs fiourished luxuriant-
ly. The fact that IN eat furnishes good
nourishment for bacteria which cannot
live in fruit juice, makes a strong argu-
ment for the more liberal use of fruits
as a diet in order to insure perfect health.
