NAM's HORN BROWNS PHIL
 OSoPHY.

The only thing in this world like a boy is a man.
 Unless we take God for our begin ming we begin wrong.
 Some of Gods best gifts are wrapped up in very common paper.
 It is easier to knock a man down than it is to turn the other cheek.
 It takes all that God and a good mother can do to make good man.
 If we have done nothing, let us be- gin now We may do something yet.
 What does our love for God amount to if it isn't doing men any good?
 In killing snakes it is better to cut off an inch of head than foot or tail.
 Nine men out of every ten are blind, and the one who can see may lead a crowd.
 A dollar fiddle in tune makes bet ter music than a pipe organ out or tune.
 A tal!ow dip on top of bushel will do more good than an electric light under it.
 How much good some of us could do if we didn't wait until tomorrow to begin.
 We would have more revivals ii we had more preaching aimed at the s1n- ners or the front seats.
 The value of the service does not consist in what is done, but in the state of heart with which it IS done.
 When man says 'I will" some thing may be done, but when wom- an says T will," something has got to be cone.

FROG WAS TO BLAME.
Weather Prophet Had Simply Put Faith Where He Believed He
 Had Right.

James Wilson, the secretary of agri- culture, was discussing an antiquated kind of farming.
 Tt is about as profitable and logi- cal' he said, "as the weather reading of a Connecticut farmland l used to know.
 "This farmland claimed that he could read the weather infallibly On walk with me one afternoon frog croaked, and he said:
 "'We will have clear weather for "A hours. When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sure of "A hours of sunshine
 "We walked on, and in 20 minutes or so a heavy shower came up and we were both drenched to the skin.
 "'You are a fine weather prophet, said I. as we hurried homeward through the downpour. You ought to be ashamed of yourself
 70, well said the farmland, the frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular frog?'"

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: Some years ago 1 had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippe which left me in com plete state of collapse and l suffered for some time with nervous prostra- tion. My appetite failed, l lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost interest in every thing and almost in everybody save my precious wife.
 "Then on the recommendation Of some friends I began to use Grape Nuts food. At that time 1 was mis- erable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposi. tion to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society.
 'I finally gave up the regular minis try. indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After 1 had been using the Grape-Nuts food for short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to  improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained al most my former weight and have greatly improved in every way
 ''l feel that I owe much to Grape Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require powerful re building agent, delicious to taste and always welcome"

FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
If Water Really Is to Be Purified,
 There Is Only One Way to Do It.

"All this talk about the need of fil- ters, about people dying for lack of filtered water, amuses me" said a chemist. For filtered water isn't necessarily pure water. Boiled water is 100 times better.
 "A filter, you see, does not free water from things dissolved in it, but only from things floating in it. For instance, if you mix quart of whisky in a gallon of water and then filter the mixture, it will come out color less, the floating color particles hav- ing been left behind, but this color less fluid will be quite as capable of intoxicating you now as it was before, for none of it's dissolved alcohol will have disappeared.
 "So with water that is polluted with sewage. All the undissolved portions of the sewage are removed by filtra- tion, and the water is left clear, taste less and odorless but the dissolved sewage is still present, and in it may turk billions of typhoid germs.
 Let those who complain about the lack of filters just turn in and boil their water. A cents worth of fire will purify a gallon of water better than a $10,O00,00G filter plant could do it"

Terrible Sore on Ankle Caused Awful Suffering-Could Not Sleep-Cured
 by Cuticura ill Six Weeks.

'I had a terrible sore on my ankle, and had not walked any for eleven months. I tried nearly everything without any benefit and had a doctor, but he didn't seem to do any good. He said I would have to have my limb taken off, and that would never walk again. I suffered awful, and at night I could not sleep at all. 1 thought there was no rest for me, but as soon as I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment it commenced healing nice ly. I bathed the ankle with warm water and Cuticura Soap, and then ap- piled Cuticura Ointment to the affect ed part, and laid cloth over the sore to hold it in place. After two weeks I could walk around in my room real good and in six weeks time my ankle was entirely cured, and I was walking around out of doors. Mrs. Mary Dick erson, Louisa c.

Toward the end Of December each

about April !. when Il arrives on Pen.

a hazy idea Of the relation Of these

The maneuyering 81 a ship Is Of an
importance on a par With accuracy Of

will be seen that a ships hghtinE
