A we'll selected text is half of the SER
mon. Given good text and a preacher
who is i'll earnest, and the result is sure
to be good. The text of this article is q
plain simple statement that proves itself
in the readers own mind without argu-
ment. The text is Good health is bet
ter than great riches"
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or a sunset.
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of a beau-
tiful concert, of a wonderful painting.
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay a man for his health but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. 1t is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and tenperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
Is a medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
1t cures the first thing it comes 70 and
after that, the next. 1t puts health in
place of disease in the stomach and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it - indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness
skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheum, tetter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused by
impure blood.

Carter carefully over and remarked:

The men laughed. Nan regarded them
with looks grave displeasure. Carter
flushed crimson under his tan, and the
men laughed more than ever. To cover
his embarrassment the chairman asked
Nan why she didn't eat her bread and
jelly. Didn't she like it?
Yes, Nan liked bread and jelly-more
especially jelly-Very much indeed. But
she was keeping it, she explained, until
she could divide it with her mother. ON
being assured that her mother would
also be supplied with as much jelly as
she might care for, Mans attention at
once became absorbed in the piece that
she held.

was born in 1898 In 1897 his father. at
the request of the all-powerful Baron
Hartman, removed to ST. Petersburg.
where he soon acquired success and
wealth and his sons followed him to
the Russian capital. The Nobels were
all scientifically bent and Oscar Emil
fell a martyr to his experiments in ex-
plosive. In Russia the father found
splendid chance for furthering his in
terests in the oil fields of the cZar's
great domnions. Robert took charge
of this branch of the industries with
which the family was concerned. The
Nobels erected immense factories, and
extending the distribution of the refined
product through pipe lines and rail-
ways supplied all Europe with their
commodity. They employed an army
of more than 10000 men in their works
No one familiar with the history of oil
will forget their memorable fight with
the Rothschilds and the Standard Oil
company of America. The second son,
Ludwig, was in charge of the Russian
industries when the father died at the
family country seat in Sweden in 1888
BY this time the family had made it's
famous discoveries i'm the line of ex-
plosives. Alfred had worked by his fa-
TIERS side in the laboratory. and now
followed i'm quick succession the dis
coveries of dynamite, Nobel's explo-
sive oil. and all of the great nitrogen
Gus compounds used by men i'm the
present day. According to an author
ity there are two kinds of modern eX-
plosives, the "Nobelites" and the Abel
ties" the latter SO called for the Eng
lishman Able. But they are all found
ed on the experiments of the Nobels.
Smokeless powder is one OF this in
genious family's discoveries. An inn
portant branch of their numerous in
dustries was that Of the manufacture
of ordnance located in Sweden and in
Russia, employing thousands of men.
Perhaps this fact explains the late Mr..
Nobel's desire for the disarmament OF
the armies of Europe.
In every European country are to be
found the enterprises of this I.Oted
family. Alfred Nobel was just with
the thousands of workmen he en-
ployed and all of them loved him. He
was an easy master. Simple in his
tastes and unostentatous in his man
ner of living he was never heard of at
the royal court. which may. indeed, be
regarded as being to his credit His
immense wealth had no foundation In

of direct and honest methods of deal
ing with his fellow men, who now,
more than ever. will realize the bene-
fits that naturally flow from his gem
