Debt and Its Danger.

Pay as you go, boys. No matter
how earnestly you long for the possess
sion of q gun, a boat, bicycle or
what not, nor how certain you may be
that at the end of the week or the
month you will have the money to pay
for it, do not run in debt.
Lyman Abbott the man who is fill
ing Henry Ward Beecher's place in
Plymouth pulpit, has this to say on the
spending of money before it is earned:
Hope inspires the man who
is earning for future expenditure,
debt drives the man who is earning
for past expenditure; and it makes an
Unreasonable difference in lie,
whether one is inspired by hope or
driven by debt"
A manor boy-in debt is like a
swimmer with stone around his
neck. However expert he may be, his
onward progress has continual drag
put upon it, that not only binders
him from reaching the goal but dis
courages him in his efforts to even
keep his head above water.

HORSE POWER.
Established as Unit by James Watt
About Century Ago.

Established as a Unit by James Watt
About a Century Ago.
When men first begin to become
familiar with the methods of measur-
ing mechanical power they often spec
ulate on where the breed of horses is
that can keep at work raising SO, 900
pounds one foot per minute, or the
equivalent, which is more familiar 10
some mechanics, of raising $50 pounds
100 feet per minute. Since SO, 900
pounds raised one foot per minute is
called one-horse power it is natural
that people should think the engin-
GERS who established that unit of meas.
urement based it on what horses could
really do. But the horse that can do
this work does not exist. The horse
power unit was established by James
figures were fixed in curious way.
Watt found that the average horse OF
his district could raise %, 600 pounds
one foot per minute. This, then, was
an actual horsepower. At that time
Watt was employed in the manufact-
ure of engines, and customers were SO
hard TO find that all kinds of artificial
inducements were necessary to induce
power users to buy steam engines.
As a method of encouraging them
Watt offered to sell engines reckoning
80, 600 foot pounds to horsepower,
And thus he was the means of giving
false unit to one of the most important
measurements in the world.

womanhood, every young girl needs
the wisest care. Troubles beginning
then may make her whole life mis-

But the troubles that are to be
feared have a positive renedy. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription builds
up and strengthens the system, and
regulates and promotes every proper
function. It's a generous, support
ing tonic, and a quieting, soothing
nervine- legitimate medicine, not
a beverage, free from alcohol and
injurious drugs. 1t corrects and
cures, safely and surely, all those
delicate arrangements, weaknesses,

A remedy that does cure is one
that can be guaranteed. That's
what the proprictors of "Favorite

give satisfaction, in every case for
which it's recommended, they'll re-
fund the money. No other medicine
for women is sold on such terms.
