ADVANCE OF THE AUTO.
Inc automobile is soon going to
Wlthln a-few years every livery stable

roads and teams. we will give an ex-
ample or the experience of Will Moore

tentlon. Moore is a real estate sales

NAMED half an hour. Then he went

A PROTEST.
Science tells us that heaven is not in
the clouds, that bands of angels sing
ing gladsome hymns do not swoop
down from heaven to catch up the
departing soul and sail with 1t to the
glory land Science is bothering itself
~ 1rr-
ference does It make where heaven
is? Why should we trouble to locate
1t? Heaven belongs to God and it Is
his place to look after it. In the ma
1t is so why spoil this picture that
youth carries with it to old age? Why
rob us of our pretty conditions when
no good can be done by so do
ing? Our materialism has all
gone far enough. Our specu-
lations have been clipped and we
are hidden to stay on the earth where
the clay is thick and the atmosphere
charged with materialism. Away with
1t. Disturb not our pretty faith. There
is a heaven somewhere and the human
soul is going to rest there forever, so
why bother where the place is located?
Those scientists who are SO anxious to
materialize faith are hindering the
world. rather than helping it. Out
upon them!-Lawrence Journal.
d. CHANGE THE PRESCRIPTION.
Every square foot of land is culti-
waited in Japan. yet so many babies are
born that the population is increased
at the rate of 100000 per year. There
is no place for them to go except the
United States. Japan has been taking
Roosevelt's advice regarding big fami-
lies and the result is that it is crowding
everybody into.tl1e sea and is liable to
cause a war. 4When medicine works
like that the Prescription ought to be
changed. Jewell Republican.
