Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
bs smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
hamberlani's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlsni's Cough Re-

BAPTIST CHURCH
'In the FuIness OF Tim e, God Sent
His Son.

Rev. w. o Millican, pastor of the
First Baptist church. preached to a
full house yesterday morning, having
for text the words of Paul found in
Gal. IVA, "When the fulness of time
was come. God sent forth his son."
A part of the sermon is given be-
low:
1t Is better to be a son than a SER
want. It Is better to be an adult than
a child. It is better to live now than
to have lived faur or six or seven two
thousand years ago. The world is bet
ter today than yesterday. Tomorrow
will be better than today.
In all of'life we find growth. To
affirm that God created the earth Is not
to deny certain evolution in matter.
To deny that man evolved from q
monkey is not to deny certain evolu-

The new testament deserves It's name !;
compared to the old it is q new book.
Christianity was not born with Christ
It only reached it's full development
with him and his disciples: and that in
teaching only.

First M. e. Church Items.

Christmas has passed and many little
folks were made happy.
The Sunday school entertainment on
Saturday evening WAS we'll attended.
The church was beautifully decorated
and good program was fully carried
out, many of the little folks were
heartily applauded.
Santa Claus put in an appearance at
the proper time: and after greeting
some of his old acquaintances and
Entertaining the boys and girls with
few remarks he proceeded TO distribute
to them a liberal treat.
The services on Christmas day were
especially interesting and impressive.
The programme as announced in the
HERALD on Saturday was fully carried
out. Much of the success of the ex-
ercises was due to the orgsnist, Mrs.
Brown, and to the choir. The solos
by Miss Hoffman, Mrs. FINK and Mr..
Mold deserve special mention.
Rev. DR.. Morrison, Sup't. of the
New Mexico Missions, preached two
splendid and helpful sermons. The one
in the morning from the text: 81 Know
Thou Dwellest," Rev. 2: ID.
The one in the evening from Daniel
1: 8: ''But Daniel Purposed in his
Heart That he Would not Defle Him
SELF"
The sacrament of the Lords supper,
which seemed peculiarly appropriate
for the occasion, was administered in
the morning by Rev. Morrison, Rev.

A urAA RAILWAY.
An ElEhty-Mne Road Through Mineral
Country.

Utah is to have a gigantic electric
railway enterprise before very long
the Utah American and Foreign Devel-
opment company OF London having
undertaken the development Of a large
section of the country. through which
they intend to build an electric road
eighty-two miles in length This will
connect Ogden. Salt Lake City and
Provo, Utah. The district through
which the road will run is said to be
very rich both agriculturally and in
the line OF mineral resources. The road
will reach Provo canyon. which forms
the only natural outlet for railroads in
that direction, and 1t is expected that
steam railroad extensions will be built,
the traffic beirg handled electrically
over the eighty miles of the company's
lines. The power house will be located
between Salt Lake City and Provo and
three miles from the former. so that
the maximum distance between the
power plant and either end OF the line
will be forty-two miles. The plant is
designed for 10000 horse power. There
are said to be very extensive iron and
coal deposits along the line OF the oad
which can be successfully developed
by means or electric power OBTAINED
from the trolley feeders.

One Chinaman Went Home with sAO,-
900 Ia His Pockets.


From the Springfield Republican; To
hear the stories of money made In Chi
cago laundTies one would think there
is an opportunity for a permanent cut
In their prices. A man who knows a
good many of the local Chinese says
one laundryman went back to China
few years ago with $40, 900 in American
money. all earned in the laundry busi-
ness, but probably largely by the buy
ing and selling Of laundries. There
are some OF the local Cinnamon who
are continually dickering in laundries.
One OF them. who has recently bought
State street laundry for 81 600, Is
said to have carried on negotiations
for the purchase OF twenty-five laun-
dries in Western Massachusetts, during
the last few years. He does not seem
to have much trouble in getting funds
for such purposes. as men who have
lent him money in many Instances on
thirty TO sixty day notes say he has al
ways paid before the paper is due. It
is said that a good Chinese laundry
man can clear S25 week, although he
pays from sl4 TO s25 week rent, and
sometimes as high as $40, and hires
from two TO three men at wages aver
aging from Sc to $40 a week. When
their very economical habits OF living
are considered. Il is probable that they
save a large share OF their earnings.
They seem generally to have money to
pay their bills for local merchants who
deal with them say their accounts are
always paid promptly. A queer fea-
ture OF the laundry business Is the ex-
tent to which the local laundries are In
the hands OF syndicates. or combina-
tions OF the laundrymen. A group OF
them, related 20 each other. are said 20
control half a dozen laundries on South
Main and State streets. and there are
other similar combinations In the city

Gates" are generally not on good terms

quantities. Arachide oil is an excel

in saying that they never had such
lovely and enjoyable time before. The
dudes and young men in love with the
girls are consequently much perturbed
over the discovery that they are not
essential to the Daytona girls idea Of

half, I'm pretty evening costumes. main

and pencils. The outside announced

Women who wish to preserve health
and faultless fig,.res had better study
the words of DR.. Dudley A. Sargent Of
Harvard, who recently gave a lecture
on Physical Culture for Women" He
said there is not movement made by
man today that has not been made by
men for ages. The encounters with
natural forces and with wild beasts
must have made those who survived
strong and athletic men. But recent
ly men have not used their muscles,
and have entered upon a state Of de-
terioration. in cities especially. lie
took up free muscular development,
showing some of the exercises that
may be done without apparatus One
of his pupils gave examples Of these
exercises. Artificial exercise must now
be used to train the unused muscles,
and these should be as nearly as pos
sible like the natural method. There
are a thousand ways of developing the
muscles. Yet there are special ways
In which these exercises should be gone
through. Exercise helps the whole
body by increasing the respiration and
quickening OF the circulation. There
are many exercises by means of appar-
atus, either light or heavy. The only
way the downward tendency OF the
body, which indicates the approach of
age can be arrested. is by means Of
constant and proper exercise. A prop
er poise Is gained by free exercise. In
civilized communities there is ten
dency to droop the head, and It should
be overcome by means of proper exer-
else. Dr. Sargents pupil gave an ex-
ample Of this special exercise, which
consisted in bending the head back
and forth and from side to side, thus
bringing into action the muscles of the
neck. Another exercise was given TO
show how the spine may be kept erect
and the body prevented from becoming
bent and the shoulders rounded.
