Reduce Your Food Bill

Nine tenths OF the heat of coal
range cannot be used. 1t goes up the
chimney and what is the sense of pay
ing to heat all outdoors? And did you
ever know that food cooked on . coal
range loses about 40 per cent OF its
bulk? From such experiments made,
this has been proven beyond doubt.
Fully 40 per cent OF the substances con-
tanned in food are lost when cooked on
coal range Another experiment
proved that it costs about 80 per cent
more for fuel TO cook on coal range
than it does on gas range; and besides
this already great loss, it takes fully
go per cent longer TO do the work on a
coal range. The Belding Gas Works
sells gas ranges on easy payments.

Farmers and Business Men are
All Busy and Country Is
Prosperous
TIME OF INDUSTRY
Few People Heed Talk OF Desperate
Condition OF Nation-New Party
Not Needed Says
Osborn

IL isn't very good season for the
calamity bowler, this presidential year
of 1912. The farmer perhaps has never
been as busy rs he is just at this partic-
ular time of the year, for the late spring
delayed some of his crops and brought
them along 10 maturity aud harvesting
simultaneously with other crops that
ordinarily ripen after the first are in
the barns. IL is an unusual sight TO
see hay and wheat being harvested to-
gether, but we are seeing il in Mich
igan just now, and the two keep the
farmer too intent on his own affairs TO
let him give heed TO the politician.
VIM. J. Bryan, who was in Mich
igan last week on a lecture tour, let slip
remark that was apparently casual
but that contained more real truth
than nine-tenths of the utterances COM
ing from politicians these days. He
remarked with evident envy and sur
prise upon the peacefulness and bus
mess thrift of the country through
which he had been travelling, and spoke
Of the contrast it presented TO the
scenes of vehement discussion and con-
troversy he himself had been witness
ing lately.
Other politicians beside Mr.. Bryan
would feel the same sense OF shock if
they would let themselves realize how
little their furious activity affects the
common run of people. Especially
this year politics is q thing apart from
the affair of most persons. IT is sing
ular year for presidential campaign,
for it is a time Of industry, great al
ready and steadily growing. The office
holders and office-seekers may fume
and fuss all they like about the des-
perate condition of the nation, and the
suffering of the masses, and the critical
necessity for each ones own particular
brand of reform, but the ordinary man,
whether on the farm or in the city,
either pays scant attention TO the talk
or mentally passes 1t all on to some
body else who may need saving
although the thinker himself does not
feel any concern personally.
The business of the nation is moving
