MILK AND HONEY LAND.
It's Near Ne7C York and Great
Place for automobile Trip.

A. B. Tucker and Nathaniel Lazarnck the auto
mobile photographer of this city, enthusiastic
over trip they made recently through Orange and
Sullivan counties in the latter's small Maxwell car
and have described it the land of milk and
honey the milk being Orange County and the
honey the product of the Sullivan County bees. Ac-
cording them. the trip offered picturesque seen
cry from beginning TO end and the journey can be
made in a day
Across the land of milk and honey runs a turn
pike. 1t extends from Newburg to Cochecton dis
tance of seventy-fve miles. It only zgzags
and wobbles and abounds in hairpn turns but it
climbs and descends and vaults off top of hills
and plunges through ravines. The burial place of
Hambletonian, the great trotter, in Chester where
a stately statue is erected in honor of the horse,
calls forth much attention.
Near Chester begins a section of the new state
road, which is delightful to ride over. Crowned,
rolled ditched. drained, without the aid of water
breakers nearly dustless conditions will per-
init, il is as nearly perfect roadmakers make

pass each other at the time without difficulty.
To test the capabilities OF the automobile as a
hill climber excellent opportunity may be had

that even high horsepower will have come
down TO low speed to make its rises less than
four points in the mile and quarter of its extent.
It is hill for tests. both for driver and

SQUALLS PREVENT RACE.
Members of Ne7C York Canoe Clut
Hare an Erciting Day.

There considerable excitement but little rae
ing at the midsummer regatta OF the New York
Canoe Club, yesterday, on Gravesend Bay When
B. V. r Speidel. chairman of the race committee,
boarded the regatta boat there was nasty thunder
squal working its way over the Staten Island hills
II broke just the chairman was about to set
the co6rse signals and it was of so much strength
that it was decided to postpone the start until the
squan had blown
In half an hour the black clouds had disappeared
in the northeast, and. as is often the case, fat
calm fell the water. There was not breath
of air. and the boats which were one by one work
ing toward the starting line off Bensonhucst. found
1t impossible to make headway against the tide.
Another postponement was in order. and instead
of setting the course signals the chairman kept
the G flag flying. After waiting another half hour
a light breeze sprang up from the southwest. and
the thirty-odd boats that drifting around be-
gan TO through the water
The signals set, but before the blue
peter was mastheaded the committee saw big.
ugly banks of steel gray clouds rolling up the
channel from Sandy Hook They looked exceed
ingly dangerous. and. even the big working
schooners their way TO were taking in sails.
the committee decided TO once more postpone the
contest.
1t was lucky that the regatta committee did not
start the boats. for inside of five minutes Graves
end Bay whipped into white capped fury by
a wind that tore along at sixty miles hour
The little boats flew before the gale. and the ma
jority were safely anchored well in toward shore
before the full force of the squan struck them
Several had narrow escapes from being wrecked
The NJ T. had considerable trouble before she
safely anchored. and did the Toy, which
rammed yawl while trying to make fast to the
larger yacht. No great damage done, how
ever, TO either craft.
The sQuall did not last long. but 1t ended the
sport for the day.

0lDSM0BILE VICTORY
In The GLIDDEN TOUR
PROVES R0ADABILITY
Well known Car Finishes Long
Journey of Seventeen Hundred
Miles With a Perfect Score.

One Oldsmobie touring entered in
the Glidden Tour and after travelling seven
teen hundred miles it finished with perfect
score and marked another victory for the Olds-
mobile
Some factories enter three to five cars. which
handled by factory drivers. When one
Oldsmobile put in the event. it's owner
elected to demonstrate its worth and roadability
by single entry.
When a factory enters three to five and
finishes with perfect score, great
claims are made for that particular make but
far more credit is due the owner who goes
on a tour with one and demonstrates its
perfection The victory of the Oldsmobile is
another proof of its sturdiness and stand-up
qualities. 1t again demonstrates its roadability
and proves 1t the ideal car for daily use.
1t is interesting to recall that the Oldsmobile
Company has almost secured a property right
in the word "roadability' on account of just
such victories as the one gained in the Glidden
Tour. The word fairly reflects the strongest
point of the Oldsmobe CARTS ability to run
anywhere, at any time, for any one.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
It a sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that II her churn is sour 1t will faint the
butter that Is made In 1t. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomaeh-churn Is foul it
makes foul all which is put into It?
The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absoluteiy
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions. scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,

and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constlpated or irregular bowels, sour

appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
