MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible

only practise a few minutes at time,

This was terribly discouraging as

caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, 1 de-

Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise haif

A California court has decided in a
suit for damages that the rights of a
pedestrian on public highways are par

an automobile cannot be accused of
contributory negligence in not keeping
u sharp lookout, as it is the duty of
the autoist to keep that lookout. This

The Deadly Finger Nail

Every time you scratch yourself you run
risk. No, don't smile that superior smile
and say that you have never yet had any
trouble from it. What we say is true. Ask
any physician. To scratch your scalp,
pimple or scab is particularly dangerous.
Your finger nails carry germs of Eczema,
Tetanus (Lockjaw) Erysipelas and all
manner of skin diseases. Let one little
germ get into the scratched place and t.ou.
bic is sure to follow. Because you have
been lucky enough TO escape so far is no
guaranty that you will be so lucky in the
future. DON'T take chances. For any Itch
ing use Littell's Liquid Sulphur, stops Itch
ing instantly, and permanently relieves oil
forms OF skin complaint, eczema, erysipelas,
pimples, running sores, letter, ring worm,
chaps, Ioushness, redness or skin blotches.
Gentlemen: November. 1902, con-
tracted facial erysipelas and my physicians
prescribed ichthyol ointment and retirement
from business. After one days use Of the
ointment concluded the erysipclas was
preferable, on account Of the villainous odor
and color of the ointment. Having by NE
bottle Of Li,te!l's Liquid Sulphur with
which I had cured, with one application,
an aggravated case Of prickly heat the prev

dies and applied that with most satisfactory
results, as the disease was confined to its
original limits and in due time disappeared.

Signs of Better Times.

There are in all quarters indica-
lions of a revival Of business.
New York will be the last to real
ize that improvement, for the con-
ditions on which prosperity must
rest are in the West and South.
From Birmingham comes this
report as to Southern iron: THE
make in this district is to be ma
terially improved, at least four
furnaces are to be started up in
the State between now and July 5.
The Iron Age, in it's review of
the week, says: There is a
slightly more cheerful tone in the
steel industry"

Newspapers by Far the Best
AdvertiSinQ Medium.

Every day fresh proof of the
surprising value of the newspaper
advertising is brought to light.
There are other good kinds of adj
yertising, but none that produces
such satisfactory results.
An experiment was made by a
New York theatrical manager to
determine just which one of the
mediums employed in attracting
attention to his playhouse was
best. He sent out $4,000 postal
cards, distributed 5000 handbills,
placarded the fences and deadwal)s
with posters, employed ten sand
witch men to walk about the streets
and ran his regular ads in the
newspapers.
He then distributed slips of pa
per among those who attended the
performances in h is theatre,
asking what form of advertising
had influenced them to come to
the show. Seventy-five per cent.
of those who filled them out re-
piled that the newspaper ads had
attracted them,
If this is true of amusement adj
vertising it is true of the advertis-
ing of other local business enter
prises. There is no getting away
from the fact that the newspaper
gets in closer and more intimate
touch with the public than any
other medium.
Why is it, then, that many 9TH
erwise shrewd and far-sighted
business men allow themselves to
be persuaded to spend their money
on mediums that bring them only
meager returns?-New York Ed
itor and Publisher.

Theological SeminarieS.

Dr. E. Y. Mullins, president of
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, said:
There is an indissoluble union
between the seminary and the Sun
day-school. A Sunday-school chair
is needed in every Seminary. The
chair should be of equal rank with
other chairs. 1t should be in
charge of an expert. There is
taught too much metaphysical cliff
climbing in seminaries at the pres
ent time. They should try to con-
meet the man with his work. They
should connect the mind with the
human heart. The church history
taught a theological tn d e n
amounts to little unless the gradu
ate is able to 90 out and make
some church history. The best
man is the one who knows how to
90 out and do things and not the
one who is covered with diplomas -
