Unhealthy Conditions Which Make
Poultry-keeping unprotitabie.

Diseases like roup, chickenpox and
cankered mouth result from filth, lice
and bad grain diet These diseases
are met with everywhere throughout
the whole country. Roup is cold
developed into chronic state and
affects chicks worse from Is weeks
to six months old The best preventive
Is system of exercise, with houses
free from draft and dampness and
free from lice, combined with va
riety Of food. Plenty Of charcoal put
into the ground food and also In q
place where they will have access to

roup, as 1t is sometimes called. 1t
will also prevent cankers from form.
ing in the membrane OF the mouth.
Charcoal absorbs the poisons that
cause cheesy matter to form In the
mouth. In winter more than rs per
cent. Of the diseases among poultry
are caused by the presence OF lice,
lack Of exercise, and overlooking of
the poultry, and also lack of shelter.
Dampness and drafts are common
causes of diseases. find. says writ.
er in Farmers Review, that all kinds
Of poultry are subjected to these dis
eases, whether 1t be the pure breeds
or mongrels. There is no kind Of,
feeding that will prevent diseases
The feeding should be plentiful
enough SO that all the fowls may go to
roost with full crop of grass and
grain. The best balanced rations have
proved most effective, and II lice are
kept away this will be strong factor
in keeping the poultry healthy.

BIKED KNOWLEDGEQF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat

edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be Of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
EUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and OF
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary fol
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versa!ly advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents
showing that Peruna invites the full

got 2 tariff law that pleased any
body or accomplished anything, we
got back to the place we started from
and it was a pretty good place, too.
Here in Michigan we got anxious
for a change and elected the famous
"squawbuck" legislature. 1t was such
a bloomin' success that the people
wanted to keep it just as long as
they had to. Exactly who got the
benefit of the change has not been
figured, not definitely, but Dan Soper
is said to have gotten some of it.
some election returns were changed
to promote a salary grab, and Mary
Ann Petoskey told how Senator
Friedlender had tried to change his
luck some twenty years before. But
whole Democratic families had jobs
in the big stone house, and more
change than usual, for two years
and then the people changed back.
Down in Ohio they wanted a
change also, and they thought 1T
would be a good thing to leave Will
liam Mckinley at home instead OF
having him in congress. They did it,
too, but they sent him back by a big
ger majority than ever, as soon as
they could, to straighten out the
muddle the Democrats had made by
tariff tinkering. He was such sue
cess as the advance agent of pros
perity' that the people of the United
States wanted him two terms for
president. His successful congress
sional opponent is practically for
gotten.
"Now, when we hear so much
about the desirability of change
in congressional representation from
this district, in the light of expert
ence, we are prone to ask WHY
What has our congressman done to
deserve retirement? What policies
does he advocate that have been fail
ures? Hasn't he been honest and
open and hasn't he reached a place
where he can be unusually effective?
If these things must be answered
affirmatively why should we make a
change? Let us look into this mat
ter carefully and. know whether we
are reasoning the thing out or are
victims of a stampede"

statements were made referring to
Mr.. Fordney, which were later pub
licly retracted by the paper upon
Mr.. Fordney's demand.
"Mr. Fitzgerald is an ardent Taft
supporter is another of the state
ments made.
Mis-statement number four.
At the Clinton county convention,
March 10, 1908, Mr.. Fitzgerald, as a
member of the committee on resolu-
tons, signed report instructing
the county delegation to the district
convention to vote for Messrs. Ford
ney and Dewey, both of whom were
then publicly supporting Mr.. Can
non.
And so corrections could be made
ad infinitum. Practically every
statement made attacking Mr.. Ford
ney has been as replete with mis-
statements as has sthe one made by
the Democratic organ; likewise have
the endorsements of the Fitzgerald
candidacy been a chain of mis-state-
ments.
Thus the question up to the voter,
the Republican who wants to see the
party successful in the congressional
and county elections of this district
again this year as for the past ten
years, is a simple one:
"Why are the Democratic papers
so anxious to beat Mr.. Fordney?"
The contest apparently has re-
solved itself into one between the
cratic-independent and outside
influences against the Republican
voter, who has aided in achieving
Republican success in these years
pastThe papers and influences above
mentioned have never helped a Re-
publican ticket or a Republican nom
inee, regardless of his well-known
ability to fill office. Their opposition
to Mr. Fordney should not influence
a single Republican voter.

REASONS ARE GIVEN
Why This Democratic Support Of
Mr., FITZGERALD

From the Saginaw Courier-Her-
aid:
The Saginaw News, organ of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
chairman, heartily endorses the can
didacy of j. w. Fitzgerald, of st.
John for the Republican congress
sional nomination in this district,
and thus is another Democratic pa
per actively interested in the Fitz-
gerald campaign. Funny, isn't it,
how the Democratic papers of the
state and district are a unit in OPP
posing Mr.. FordNey's denomination?
Can it be that these papers believe
that it is possible to elect a Demo-
cratic congressman from the Eighth
ney not being the Republican NOM
inee?
1t is very interesting to note the
efforts of our Democratic brethren
to stir up opposition to Mr.. Fordney.
No doubt they are prompted entire
ly by patriotic motives, and party
politics and political expediency have
nothing to do with the case. But it
is strange that such an ambition
should lead these organs to frequent
mis-statements, such as the Saginaw
News last night made.
1t is unnecessary to go into detail
to prove conclusively to the Repub-
lican voter that the inspired Fitz-
gerald announcement being printed
in the Democratic papers and So
called independent press is a mess OF
mis-statements. For instance, the
| Saginaw News last night said that
Judge w. r. Kendrick, of this city
was a supporter of Mr.. Fitzgerald.
Mis-statement number one.
Judge Kendrick is an unqualified
supporter of Congressman Fordney
| and believes that it would be a mos
serious error for this district to sent
anyone but Mr.. Fordney to Wash
ington this fall.
Another statement is this:
Practically all of the Republican
| and independent papers of the dis
trict are supporting Fitzgerald
candidacy"
| Mis-statement number two.
Not a Republican paper in Clinton
Mr.. Fitzgerald's home county, is sup
| porting him.
Not a Republican paper in Tusco
la county is supporting him.
Not a Republican paper in Sagi
nav county is supporting him.
| In three of the four counties II
the district Mr.. Fitzgerald has not
Republican paper supporting him.
In the Fourth, Shiawassee coun
ty, he has two Republican paper
supporting him, and disappointed
postmasterships explain the cause o
the opposition in both instances.
| Again note this statement:
"Fitzgerald's friends charge tina
the Fordneyites have resorted to
campaign of personal abuse, etc.

kind word about his opponent. but II

There will be plenty Of opportunity
for the visitors at the fair this year
to secure good meals. Ten churches
in the city of Detroit have secured
space and will furnish meals AMI
lunches to state fair visitors. 1t goes
without saying that church societies
take great pride in furnishing good
meals at reasonable prices, and they
have assured the management Of the
fair that this year they will be better
than ever.

CHANGE MlCROBE
People sturs Every Now and Again

From the Laingsburg News:
every now and again the people
of this country get stung with the
change microbe, politically speak
ing. Generally, too, it has proven to
be short change game from the
peoples standpoint. But every so
often, too often, the idea becomes
rampant that it's time to turn the
rascals out
"Just what for is not always appar-
ent, but 1t is somehow considered to
be logical plan to turn 'em out just
to get a chance to see of everything
was all right, and generally sad ex-
perience teaches the lesson that our
trusted public servants are as honest
as the average man and that things
were Just about as near right as
years of experience and special
training could make them. Then
slowly and painfully we retrace our
steps over the road of business de-
preston, lined by the bleaching
bones and grinning skulls of starved
Industrial enterprises back to the
place where we should have stayed

viii Appreciate Support for Pepre
sentative

John J. Whelan earnestly solicits
see county in his effort to secure the
nomination for representative in the
state legislature.
In 1902 Mr.. Whelan lacked one
vote of securing the nomination
which he now seeks, and as very
close second, he was entitled to a
deep sense of gratitude and appre-
citation for the royal support given
him at that convention.
In 1906 Mr.. Whelan was elected
supervisor of his township and the
board of supervisors made him chair
man of that body-a compliment sell
dom conferred upon new supervis-
or. During the ensuing year Mr.
Whelan demonstrated to each mem
Der his ability as presiding officer
by his conservative, courteous and
fair treatment of all parties and
questions so that the following veal
he was again made their chairman
by reclamation.
Mr.. Whelan is one of the success
full farmers in Shiawassee township
and believes that the farmer of the
present time is as capable of beinl
a legislator as any other class or pro
fession.
Owing to the very close contest IL
1902, Mr.. Whelan has entertained ;
desire to again submit his candidac!
to the people, hoping that the time
may be favorable and the conditions
agreeable in which you will assis
| him in realizing his ambition.

STATE FAIR RAILROAD RATES.

The Michigan Passenger association,
which governs the granting of special
rates on all railroads, has decided that
the rate of fare this year for the state
fair at Detroit, Sept. 3rd to 18th, will
be one and two-thirds one way fare.
That means that if the regular rail
road fare from your station to Detroit
and return is SO (seventy-five miles,,
the rate to the state fair this year
will be going $3.50 and returning 81,
OF $3.50 Last yesr the rate was three
cents per mile on most of the roads,
and the railroads gave rate of one
half fare, which for the distance men

Judge keudrick Enthusiastically
for Cong FoTdnay

Judge VIM. r. Kendrick yesterday
told the Saginaw Courier--Herald
that the statement made in the DEM
ocratic organ that he was supporter
of ]. w. Fitzgerald for congress was
untrue, not authorized and as far
from the facts as could be.
Said Judge Kendrick:
81 cannot understand why such a
statement would be published in any
paper. I am not supporting Mr..
Fitzgerald and am supporting Con-
gresham Fordney and believe that
it would be a great mistake to send
any other man to congress this year.
Mr.. Fordney is man of experience
and can do more to secure what is
needed for this district than any
other man. In the movement to Sc
cure a deeper and wider waterway
for the Saginaw river Mr.. Fordney is
in a position to accomplish more
than ever before.
Congressman Fordney's record is
entirely satisfactory to me. 1t is
true did not agree with him regard
ing Mr.. Cannon, as l believed Secre-
tary Taft to be the strongest candi-
date we could name. But Mr.. Ford
ney is giving Mr.. Taft hearty support
and is making his campaign strictly
upon the Republican platform and
the principles of the Republican par
ty, and such a man is receiving my
hearty support. l had never for a
moment thought of any other
course"
