A MAN
LOST.

Lost No man understands the full
meaning OF that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: was
IN the woods going ahead steadily when
! realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of Lost ! broke into a run heed
less or ignorant Of the direction | was
going"
The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is TO run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the office. He has tor some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizZv, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
ticult, his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from tree, the thought
leaps on him, "Nou are a lost man. "
The tirst impulse is to run for help
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls OF quaCEery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to-

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor If you
can not get a 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 be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
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 judgment on them
and use only the better one.

POORLY LIGHTED.
That Is the Complaint That Comes
from the Night Schools.

The night schools in the central
building which are presided over by
Professors Collins and l.esher, are very
dimly lighted. Five electric lamps are
decidedly insufficient to illuminate
room of such proportions so that each
pupil may read without any trouble
or fear of his eyesight becoming inn
paired.
If the board does not consider it ad-
visable to place more electric lights
in the rooms, Kerosene lamps would be
quite the desirable acquisition.
