In a period when newspapers are so many 1t is rather intresting to recall the fact that the earliest newspapers ever put together for the benefit of an English speaking community were not printed. but written. Instead of being circulated among the people they were exhibited in Eome public place and each reader paid a small coin for the privilege. The name of these coins, "gazettas," as they were called in the days when honest English men paid them eheerfullJ for a peep at the news, still survives in the word gazette" Naturally these first news papers were not illustrated and there were no big Sunday editions.
 The earliest printed newspaper was the Weekly News" published ir England as long ago ss 1922 During the rest of the seventeenth century and until nearly the end of the eighteenth, newspapers were published in more or less sporadic fash ion and 1t was not until 1792 that the first daily paper made it's appearance. The earlier newspapers, however, had all ready introduced the serial story. Defoe was the first writer of a newspaper se- rial, and this first serial which began III the -OnuOn IOSt, OclOpeT (, lfiJ, IS now. a literary classic. It was called "Robinson Crusoe."
 If only a fraction of the schemes that nre constantly blossoming to cure human Ity of the ills that 1t is heir to were as successful as their inventors predict for them the present century would sure- 1y beat the record for health.

As we vibrate, 1t ap- pears, so do we live; the elements of the human body, when in normal condition all vibrating together in perfect harmony Disease destroys this harmony and we vibrate, alas, quite out of pitch like an untuned piano. Then we need something which, like a piano tuner, shall put us nicely in tune again.
 The radio vibrator is a small, nickel plated box from one end of which ex- tend two wires terminating in metal disks; and by placing these disks against whatever section of our anatomy seems to have got into trouble a series of vibra- tions is immediately set up to restore the normal condition. Every man may thus carry his health restorer with him, and, If he feels indisposed, may sit him down on the nearest curbstone and vibrate himself right, straight back into his former health and happiness.

 Therefore, wake up, don't rush. but keep everlastingly at work to build up the town. Keep moving. Don't rust out, play out or talk yourself out of a job.
 That which is for your good, your fam ily's good the public's good and is for the good of the town. If there is any chance for you to help boom business, boom 1t now.
 Don't put on a long face and look as though you had a sour stomach, but keep on pushing. Hold up you head ana keep on smiling. Look for better things. They are just ahead.
 Hide your little hammer and keep 1t hidden. Speak well of others no matter how small you may know yourself to be. When a stranger drops into town jolly him. Tell him this is the greatest town on earth and it is. There is not another like it.
 Finally remember. you're not the only one There are others and they have brains as well as you. There's no end of fun in minding your own business IL makes other people like you. Nobody ever gets stuck on "knocker." So don't be one.

Stoves That Have Mercy on the Coal Bin
An Air Blast National

In the book of instructions on how to set up and operate the Air Blast Stove, the manufact- urers say: Do not use as much fuel as in ordinary stoves for Air Blast Stoves work better with less"
 That's the whole thing in nutshell. An Air Blast Stove is not mere affair of cast iron and nickle-p1ated trimmings-it's machine, built to do it's work on economical, fuel-saving princi- |ples.
 That's the keynote, coupled with basic in-and-out, through and-through goodness in con lstruction and material. that has made Air Blast Stoves the great lest success on the market.

JOTTINGS.

By Sidney F. Lazarus, Chairman Press
 Committee, Alabama Division.
 The old saying Charity begins at man, nor would 1t ever have been said if the world had waited for him to say it. The commercial traveller Is a great dis penser of aims, and although his name may not be found upon the lists headed by Carnegie and Rockefeller. still he gives much more in proportion to his wealth than they do. The blindman, the cripple, the Salvation Army lass and many others will tell you that he dis penses his small change with a liberality that would make Russell Sage wonder. Tn the small town he buys tickets to every church fair, bazaar. ice cream supper and the smile on his face remains unchanged. The travelling man likes to give to the needy and distressed and if the nickles, dimes and quarters which he dispenses with such a lavish hand were kept account of he would find that they amount to quite large sum in the course of a year The world at large knows this to a great extent but they do not give the travelling man credit for his 
 the house for which he works pays his i, expenses and they think that the money he gives away Is part of this expense ac- count There was a day when the travel ing man could draw almost any amount he wanted for his weekly expenses, but that day Is now past. The large houses of today do not allow drummer to have even the "incidental' item on his weekly report and the expense account is limited to hotel bill, railroad fares, and drives. Consequently every cent that the travel ing man gives away comes out Of his own pocket and not out of the cofferS of the house, the cigars which he smokes and gives away in such a liberal manner are also paid for by himself in great many cases, and the item of tips does not figure in the report of expenses he sends in.
 When you see a travelling man walk along the street and drop a quarter in the hat of some poor cripple or blind man when you hear the jingle of his money as he drops it in the tambourine of the Sa;- vation Army lass when you see him give some one a dime or a quarter to get meal or a place to sleep, give him credit for the good work he is doing, place him where he belongs. among those who are always ready and willing to lend a help ing hand to the needy and distressed and to do all they can to make this old world of ours brighter and better.
 "Where Do You Go From Here7" "Where do you go from here?'
 How tired I get of that phrase!
 Out of the year 1t greets my ear
 Three hundred and sixty-five days; As I leave home after a rest
 The conductor at the train
 Takes a grip on my mileage strip
 Ano fires 1t at me again.
 The hotel man gets sociable,
 As I pay for his high-priced cheer, And drops my bill in his yawning till
 With Where do you go from here?" The barber stands with tip in hand
 And as I disappear
 Come in againp' he yelled and then
 Say where do you go from here?" The friends meet upon the street
 Keep dinging 1t in my ear,
