that it was made more Of corn-oil

A great future has been predicted
for denatured alcohol. This untaxed
cheap alcohol is made almost wholly
from corn, and is expected to be In
demand as a fuel just as we now use
kerosene; also for power purposes, as
we employ gasoline in automobiles.

You PAY the Freight.

If you buy anything to eat, wear,
drink or smell, the freight Is included
In the price and as this is a free
country you are guaranteed the right
to buy where and Of whom you please,
and therefore no man can question
your privilege to choose for yourself as
to what corporation, firm or individual
you will pay your own money for the
commodity desired. If you do not re-
ceive the best value for your money
you are the loser and usually 1t Is your
own fault Especially Is this true in
the matter Of buying life insurance.
The readers Of this paper have been
reminded, time and again during the
past nine years that in life insurance
contracts as in all other commodities
there was only one best, and that that
best was offered only by the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Co., Of Newark,
n. j., and that 1 guaranteed to prove
the truthfulness Of my assertion to any
who asked for the proof. Scores Of
men have asked for and gotten the
proof, but there are scores who have
not yet given me the opportunity. If
you are in the latter class, you are
standing in your own light. I am al
ways ready to show you and as stated,
you should be willing to be shown.
Don't put 1t off until next week. You
may not need it then, but If you do not
your family or creditors will. See?

AN INTELLIGENT JURoR.-"The COM
mon practice of lawyers in addressing
a jury to single out one member who
seems to them the most intelligent, and
therefore, the one most likely to be
Influenced by their appeals" observes
a Chicago attorney, does not always
work out advantageously.
"All the testimony in case recently
tried in Ohio had been taken, the law
yers for both sides had summed up
and the judge had charged the jury
when up rose the intelligent juror
against whom both counsel had thun-
dered their .impassioned appeals. He
wanted the court to give him some in
formation.
"I have been bothered good deal by
two words the lawyers use here all the
time" said the intelligent juror.
What are they?" asked the court
expecting, no doubt, to be called upon
to expound res inter alios acta or a
fortiori, or some other abstruse term.
Plaintiff and defendant said the
juror. Il don't know just what they
mean."-Harpers Weekly.

TRAVEL ABROAD.
Railroad Man Comedies II Some Ad.
vantades Over Travel Here.


Reservation Of places in dining cars
by passengers is, according to K. F.
Tasker, a railroad man Of Philadelphia,
who was interviewed recently by a
Washington Herald reporter one Of
the good features of British and Con-
tlnental railroads.
"Crowding in diners or restaurant
cars" said Mr. Tasker, 'is entirely OBJ
waited by the custom Of making reser-
vitions for seats at tables when the
are all table d'hote and served in two
sections. When the tables are all fill
ed, two walters start through the car
and serve the first course to all. The
second course follows at the proper
time, and in this way carload Of peo-
pie may be quickly and satisfactorily
fed"
Among Mr.. Tasker's observations was
that smoking by women all over Eu-
rope is increasing. They use cigarettes,
usually in the restaurant cars, along
with the men.
Il notice little change in methods Of
railroad operation in Europe. Condi-
tions there are so settled that there is
nothing new. Corridor cars are be-
coming more popular, and more are be-
ing introduced. France, Italy and Ger
many are taking over more Of the pri-
vately owned roads, until now they are
nearly all government lines. In Hol-
land two railroads, one owned by the
state and the other by private cor
poration, parallel with one another. I
rode on both, and noticed little differ
ence in operation.
I'm England there are no government
owned roads, and must say that they
appeared much better managed and
operated than the government lines on
the continent. One may notice that in
Great Britain private ownership shows
in competition. On the Continent,
where the government owns most of
the roads, there Is little or no adver-
tising or bidding for business, while in
England the papers are full Of adver-
tisements offering low weekend excur-
sion rates to the people.
I'm England the railroads are allow
ed to pool under strict governmental
supervision. The pooling feature does
not appear to throttle competition, as
the lines in England and Scotland are
constantly putting their different ad-
vantages before the public"
Mr.. Tasker says, except for short
trips and special excursions, the rates
are much higher than they are in this
country; particularly is this true OF
sleeping car fares. Dining car charges,
he said, are about like those Of Amer
lean roads. He said that while there
appears to be no law against the issu-
ance of passes, railroads Of Great Bri-
tain and the Continent are very strict
on this point, few free tickets being
given for any purpose.

day and was playing in the yard when
it became suddenly i'll and died with
in twenty minutes before medical aid
