COMFORTING WORDS
Many an Owosso Household Will
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great
change can be brought about will prove
comforting words to hundreds of Owes.

A False Premise.

Advocates Of municipal ownership
point to the high character of the gov
erning bodies of British cities as q
proof that municipal ownership draws
men Of standing into public life and
purifies city government. The fact
is just the reverse. The best men In
British cities were In their councils be-
fore municipal ownership was under
taken to any considerable extent, while
the later tendency has been to clint
nate such men partly because they
cannot afford the time necessary to the
proper management Of such undertak-
ings and partly because they are OPP
posed for reelection by their subor-
sinates.

City Eorbids Gas Stoxea

President Foote If the Morristown
IN. j. Gas company Is again trying to
persuade the common council Of Madi-
son to grant his company the right to
distribute gas there. Madison adjoins
Morristown directly to the east. 1t
has been long struggle to get this
permission, for such has been asked
for, to the writer's knowledge, for
twenty years. The scheme was always
nonsulted, the objection being that
Madison owns municipality operated
electric lighting plant. The last at
tempt, however, seems to have a fair
chance of success, since Mr.. Foote and
associates are willing to agree that gas
shall only be used for heating, cooking
and power urposes.-American Gas
Light Journal.
The gas company would have got its
franchise long ago if the electric plant
had been owned by company instead
Of by the city. Think of place where
a city monopoly deprives all the wo-
men of modern appliances for cooking!

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Have
Changed History.

Changed History.
On June IL. 1915. Charles l. slept at
the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts
had brought news of the approach Of
the parliamentary army. and the king
was resolved to give them battle.
In the middle of the night the lords
Of the bedchamber, who slept in the
outer room, were disturbed by an ex-
traordinary noise in the kings room.
Upon entering they found Charles sit
ting bolt upright in his bed and in a
much excited state.
On asking what the noise was, the
king said he had heard no noise, but
that their entry had reused him from
an extraordinary dream. He said that
STAFFORD had stood at the foot of his
bed and implored him not to give bat
tie, for If he did he would be so disas-
trously defeated as to threaten his
crown and even his life.
The next morning Charles told Prince
Rupert and his generals of his dream.
In vain tried to dissuade him. In the
evening news arrived that the enemy
were close at hand. That night Charles
again dreamed the same dream. STRAIT
ford warned him that it was the last
time he would try to help him.
The next morning the king led his
army out and by sunset he had lost
cannon, baggage and four-fifths Of his
troops and. as events proved, the war
as well.
Strafford's ghost was right. Had
Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby
1t Is quite likely he would not have
met his death at Whitehall.-Pearson'
Weekly.

EUROPEAN STREET RAILWAYS
Municipal Operation ls Resulting In
Slow DEVELOPMENT and Poor Service.

Municipal Operation Is Resulting In
Slow Development and Poor Service.
Under municipal operation, or the
threat of 1t, the development Of street
railways in Europe has proceeded
along different lines from those fol-
lowed in this country. Here we have
had q rapid extension of track into
new and often temporarily unpro-
ductive territory, long hour service,
high speed and free transfers. In Eu-
rope the track pushes slowly even into
we'll settled suburbs, the hours Of serv-
ice are shorter, the cars are slow, and
no transfers are given. The one adj
vantage that the European has secured
Is low fare for short ride. and even
this fare is not as low as appears on the
surface on account Of the higher value
Of money in Europe as measured in
terms of wages. Briefly, however, it
may be said that in Europe cheapness
has been secured at the cost Of quality
of service. The same conditions are
apparently resulting from the semi
municipal ownership which has just
gone into effect in Cleveland. The peo-
pie Of this country want good service
first of all. and they are willing and
able to pay for it. With us cheapness
is a secondary consideration, as any
city will find to its sorrow If 1t secures
cheapness at the cost Of service.

ANIMAL VISION.
It's Aeuteness Depends Upon the Size
Of the Eyeball.

Of the Eyeball.
DR.. Alexander Schaefer investigated
the vision Of many animal species and
found that the size of the eyeball is
the principal factor Of acuteness Of
vision. The bovine species has the
sharpest sight. The second place is &C.
cupied by man and the horse, which
have nearly equal visual powers, the
third by the sheep. Small and espe-
cially small eyed animals. whether
mammals. birds, amphibia or reptiles,
have very poor sight. Owls and buzz
yards are the only birds that possess
great acuteness Of vision. The low po-
sltions in the scale occupied by dogs.
cats. bats and many fishes which feed
upon living prey Is contrary to all ex-
pectation. In the case Of dogs and GER
tain fishes lack Of sharpness Of vision
Is due to the great size Of the retinal
elements. 1t has long been known that
dogs have such indistinct vision that
as rule. dog Is not able to recognize
his master by sight alone.
These results emphasize the distinc-
Jects and vision of moving objects.
The latter faculty is necessarily keen
in all animals Of prey. A cat is little
affected by the sight of motionless OBJ
jects. but pounces on a fleeing mouse
or a trailed string instantly and with
unerring precision. A trout will rise
to the most impossible artificial fly If
fly.
The inclusion and position of man in
the series are based upon the ocular
measurements given by Helmh, tz In
his "Physiologische Optik" ''"'

cattle losses by wild animals;
The total number of cattle lost by
disease and wild animals In Madras

June 80, 1907, was 23,S01, against
20.452 during the preceding quarter.
Rinderpest killed 12,7Is; anthrax,

estimated that the deaths from these
causes during the year will be about
10000. The official report states
that there were IL cases Of criminal
poisoning of cattle during the quar-
ter.
The government has appropriated
$333,3S3 to be advanced to the farm

already in distress on account of the
drought, and steps have been taken
to assist the same class in some oth>
er provinces. 1t is stated that the
general crops of central India will
kield something toward relieving the
famine situation, but as affecting the
scarcity as a whole will 60 but lit

The government has also granted
$5OO,O0O to the Punjab government
for advances to the farmers of that

FAvORS RANGE LEASING.
New Mexico Cattlemen IndOrse Pres
idents Plan.

81 heartily endorse President
Roosevelts policy in creating forest
reserves and advocating the leasing
of the public domain" said ]. w
Sullivan, one of the largest individ.
ual cattle owners of the territory, to
a reporter of the Albuquerque Jour-
nal.
"The carrying out of the presi-
dents policy will prove the salvation
of the ranges of Arizona, in as much
as overstocking will be impossible
under government supervision, and
the grasses will not be entirely de-
stroyed by sheep as is now the case
in many sections of northern Ari-
zona.
Besides" he said. "the stockman
who has 1O-year lease on a tract
OF land will be anxious to protect his
range from being overstocked and
will also develop water and make
other improvements when he is GER
tain of the sole use of the land for a
stated period and given protection
from transient bands of sheep as we'll
as other cattle owners. 1t is gem
orally understood that the govern
ment will demand a grazing tax of
S5 cents a head for each head OF
cattle ranging on the leased lands.
This is not an exorbitant figure. Ten
per cent of it is paid by the govern
ment to the county treasury of the
county in which the land is situated.
This is added to the school fund. To
protect the grasses believe that
land should be grazed only two out Of
every three years in succession. One
year out of three. or, at least, the
spring. summer and autumn months.
should be allowed the land, without
pasturing, to properly SEED. Winter
grazing does not kill the grasses.
