WHAT TO READ.

Tell me what a man reads and
will tell you what he is, said wise
writer for little by little the things
that we read become our thoughts, and
makes the very texture of the mind.
During the last few months the at,
tention of the American people has
been aroused to the consideration OF
pure and impure foods. This agitation
has done good, for with the abundance
of good food there is little excuse fol-
using any food which is harmful. The
time has come when the American fam
ily must give better attention than in
the past to another matter-the choice
between good and bad reading. We
have read enough about wickedness ir
both public and private life, too many
stories of criminal transactions toe
much about the evil and not enough
about the good in life.
Let us have the bright and clear
side of our American life only. Let Us
read stories of heroes who are botf
brave and noble, and not vulgar ant
confessed criminals. The mission o.
the press is to help the reader, moi
drag him down to suggest high, moi
low ideals.
At this season the average American
family selects periodicals for the mex
Year. Let the choice be only for clean
wholesome, patriotic periodicals. Sent
for the Prospectus of the 1910 Volume
of The Youths Companion and set
what an amount of the best reading
selected from the worlds abundance o
every sort can be had for only SLID

Steam railroads used % per cent OF all

Of wood.
While the quality OF ties purchased in
1908 was much less than the quantity pur-
chased IN 1907, the average prices in the
two years were remarkably close to-
gether, the average cost per tie for all

Turkish I.nndn Idle

Vast tracts o. fertile lands in Turkey,
capable Of producing two crops a year,
lie fallow. while the land under cultiva-
ton could be made to produce nearly
twice as much under modern methods OF
agriculture. Aside from agriculture, Tur-
key is rich in mineral wealth, which is
waiting to be developed. Large inland
towns are greatly handicapped for lack
of railroads and highways TO give out
lets to their commerce. COnstantincple, a
city Of nearly a million inhabitants. has
neither an electric light plant, an electric
tram. nor telephone system. Il has very
waterworks, a poor ice plant,
and lacks many other things to bring II
up to the standard of modern European
cities.
