Hiram A. Savage, of Saginaw, the
present register of deeds of that
county, would like to serve the good
people of Michigan as commissioner
of the State Land Office. We know
of no reason why Mr.. Savage would
not make a most acceptable candi-
date and a first class commissioner.
He has had experience along num-
Der of lines which fit him to care for
the duties of this Office in a business
like manner. The Republicans of
the eighth district should be a unit
for him at the State convention.

Before the esteemed Marquette
Mining Journal essays TO give us
more of its curious lucubrations con-
corning political affairs in the eighth
congressional district, it would be
we'll to inform itself upon conditions
as they actually exist here. 1t has
yet to learn that the Republicans
nominate their congressional candi-
dates by the direct voting system in
this district, that this district was
one of the first to adopt the plan,
that Representative Fordney was
nominated in that way two years ago
and will again be so named this year.

What is the politics of the Owosso
Pross-American, that is so strongly
supporting Congressman Fordney for
the nomination? The Times quotes
from that paper, apparently endors-
ing the sentiments expressed, but
would discard as unworthy of con-
sideration the utterances of the Sag
inaw News, newspaper Of high
character and tanding.-Argus.
That certainly is easy as refer
ence to the editorial column of the
Press-American will show that the
paper is independent" "a state
ment often emphasized in its COL
umns. Would the Argus have us
understand that the Press-American
is not "a newspaper of high char
acter and standing?"

Excellent Ball Game.

Corunna, May 20, Especially
the best game played here this sea-
son, Corunna high school baseball
team dropped a close struggle to
Owosso, Wednesday afternoon, by a
score of to 1. 1t was a fight until
the last man was out in the ninth
inning, and excitement ran high at
the possibility of Corunna's pulling
the game out of the fire at any time.
Montfort twirled for Corunna and
was hit quite hard, ten safe ones be-
ing secured. Three we're punched in
the sixth inning when Owosso sent
both it's runs across the platter.
Montfort famed eight men, and the
team behind him made three errors
Owosso uncorked new twirler in
Gould, who most assuredly will do.
He allowed but two hits, one each
in the second and fourth, and the one
run of the home team came unas-
sisted by any hit In the sixth. He
famed seven, and had poorer fielding
behind him than Montfort, the WISH
tors making five errors.
Following is the score by innings:

an army post Is live commanding Of
ficer who takes a personal interest
in all manly sports that tend to the
greatest physical, mental and moral
development OF the personnel OF his
command The efforts OF all other
members OF the garrison are abso-
lutely nullified by the lack OF interest
OF the tx o." What post could win
at baseball IL the X. o. would not
authorize its star pitcher to swap
guard tours" during the game, should
the said pitcher be a member of the
guard On the day OF an important
game with another post in the dis
trict league?
What athletic officer would not feel
like quitting II he could not get per-
mission for paroled prisoner, who
happened to be a sure batter, to help
win the pennant; or, for that matter,
in deciding game, IL he could not
play a garrison prisoner who was not
paroled and who was being guarded

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe
that a man could suffer from coffee
drinking so severely as to cause spells
OF Inconsistencies. And to find COM
plete relief in changing from coffee
to Postum is well worth recording.
II used to be a great coffee drink
er, so much so that it was killing me
by inches. My heart became SO weak
| would fall and lie unconscious for
an hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
My friends, and even the doctor.
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. | would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until l
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor. who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop
coffee and try Postum. After much
hesitation l concluded to try it. That
was eight months ago. Since then [
have had but few of those spells,
none for more than four months.
Il feel better. sleep better and am
better every way. l now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as ! am seventy years of age all
my friends think the improvement
quite remarkable"

THE SUN UNSEEN.

All We See Are Its concentrle Shells.
The great ball OF fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. Ne
one has ever seen the sun. A series
OF concentric shells envelop a nucleus
of which we know absolutely nothing,
except that 1t must be almost infinite
ly hotter than the f1ercest furnace,
and that It must amount to more than
nine-tenths of the solar mass. That
nucleus Is the real sun, forever hid
den from US. The outermOst or the
enveloping shells is about five thou.
sand miles thick, and Is called the
"chromosphere." 1t is gaseous food,
tinted with the scarlet glare of hydro
gen, and so furiously active that 1t
spurts up great tongues OF glowing
gas "prominences') to a height OF
thousands Of miles. Time was when
this agitated sea Of crimson fire could
be seen to advantage only during an
eclipse; now special instruments are
used which enable astronomers to
study 1t in the full glare of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences-even, lies the nebu.
ous palid corona" visible only dur.
ing the vanishing moments Of total
eclipse, aggregating not more than
seven days in a century. No one has
ever satisfactorily explained how the
highly attenuated matter composing
both the prominences and the corona
is supported without failing back into
the sun under the pull of solar gravi.
tation. Now that Arrhenius has cos
mically applied the effects of light.
pressure solution is presented.
How difficult it Is to account for
such delicate streamers as the "promi.
nences" on the sun is better compre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip OF
solar gravitation. If the sun were a
habitable globe and you could trans
port yourself to its surface you would
find yourself pulled down so forcib'y
by gravitation that you would
weigh two tons, assuming that you
are an ordinary human being. Your
clothing alone would weigh more than
one hundred pounds. Baseball could
be played in solar drawing-room, for
there would be some difficulty in
throwing a ball more than thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to a form
of outdoor ping-pong. From these
considerations it is plain that gravita.
ton on the sun would tend to pre-.
vent the formation of any lambert
steamers and to pull down to its sur
face masses of any size.-Harper's
Magazine.

AN EXCELLENT COTTON
BAGGING.

Textile Mills Corporation
New Orleans, La.
The National Convention of the
Farmers Union, at Fort Worth, Tex
as, on September 3rd, adopted this
cotton bagging.
This bagging is made entirely OF
cotton and it's use will provide a
market for over a quarter million
bales low grade which now go to
spectators as a medium for de-
pressing prices. This bagging called
the Odenheimer Bagging meets every
requirement and stands the severest
tests by fire, water and hooks.
1t takes seven yards of bagging to
cover a bale, and as seven yards of
cotton bagging weigh nine pounds
less than jute covering, the cotton
mills can afford to allow 8 lbs, ex-
ira on every bale covered with cot
ton bagging, as they get that many
more pounds of cotton in bale. Nu-
merous mills have already agreed to
make this allowance. The Textile
Mills Corporation, New Orleans, will
give full particulars upon application.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
