No doubt you have seen in the

this concerning some medicine or
other: If, on trial, you write
that this medicine has done you
no good we will refund your

had reason to speak in that way
concerning the remedy named in
this article. In a trade extern
ding throughout the world, no.
body has ever complained that
our medicine has failed, or asked
for the return of his money. The
public never grumbles at hon

made to do. The foundations of

FIFTY MILES OF STRING
SAVED BY THIS WOMAN

Mrs. Amos B.. Cleaver, of Reading,
together an object lesson hal can't
be beaten and which is like nothing
else ever seen or heard Of. She did
it, too, for the SAKE of teaching chill
dren to save. Eighteen years ago
Mrs. Cleaver took a tiny empty medi-
cine bottle and began to wind around
it all the odd little strings that she
came across, until now, if she were
to unwind her ball of string and
stretch it out it would run over fifty
miles Of ground.
Year in and year out, day after day,
and week after week, Mrs. Cleaver
has kept accommodating string and
winding it on to her ball. The idea
pleased the children in the >%neighbor-
hood, who are anxious to see the ball
grow, and who bring or send every bit
Of string they think will be worth
winding on to the rest. Indeed, strings
have been sent to Mrs. Cleaver from
the States of California, Missouri,
Ohio, Illinois and Massachusetts.
Coming through the mails. and hand
ed to her in other ways, the ball now
weighs twenty-Six pounds and has a
circumference of forty-nine inches.
Mrs. Cleaver wills that at her death
the ball shall be sent to the Home for
Friendless Children, at Reading,
where it is to be Used as an object les
son in saving.

FINDS BIBLE NOT ORIGINAL.

u. of c. Professor Says Pagan Be-
: liefs Have Aided Christianity.
The Bible is not original with its
supposed compilers, according to the
opinions expressed by Professor Ger
aid B. Smith of the faculty Of the di-
vinity department of the University
of Chicago. The story of creation
and the deluge appeared long before
the Bible was written" the speaker
declared. "Both of these stories were
traditional in the early literature Of
the B~abylonians.
THE t~heologian of to-day is &C
quainted as the theologians Of former
days were not, with the reality and
vitality of non-Christian religion. and
in the investigation of the Old Tesla
ment religion it has been found that
many of its elements were derived
from I.raels contact with Babylon
The history of Christianity reveals the
fact that Christian beliefs ave grown
and changed as Christianity has met
with the secular forces of its history.
There are elements in every pagan re-
ligion which every Christian is COM
PEELED to recognize as truth. The ques-
tion must be raised whether the con
tact with oriental peoples, which is to
be so prominent a factor in the near
future, will not mean that Christianity
will be Influenced and modified as it
has been in the past"

over again. In the old days when
the moonshiner fiourished all over the
South. it was a desperate conflict that
waged between the revenue agents and
the moonshiners, and many an un-
marked grave bears witness to the
terrors Of the struggle. But the
nue. agents, backed by a powert"c. gov
eminent, finally won.
In those days, when the mist and
mystery of tie mountains filled the
timid with terror. the moonshiner
fought for a principle as well as for
the profit found in the perilous bust
ness. He cherished the conviction
that when he raised grain and fruits
upon his little farm he had an inner
ent right to convert them into m
product he saw fit and he looked
upon the revenue officer as one who
sought not only to rob him of a liveli-
hood but to take from him a right. a
liberty, that vas as dear to him as
life itself.
1t was this spirit that made every
path leading to an Illicit still one
fraught with deadly peril to any
stranger; it vas this spirit hat led to
many a deadly battle in the noun
taiHs of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama aud Georgia, as well as in other
states where the moonshiner made
his home.
The moonshiner gradually learned
hat there was somewhere in the
distance" a government that had to
be supported and that the tax upon
whisky had behind it something more
than a desire to intrude Upon the lib
critics OF mankind. He also learned
hat this government maintained an
alarming number Of penitentiaries
and had an inexhaustible supply Of
men who were apparently ready and
willing to kill or be killed in the eff
fort to fill these institutions with
moonshfners. Then, too, saloons be-
came more and more numerous, and
there wasn't the profit in the business
that characterized it in the good old
days. So the moonshiner In a large
measure passed on to other and less
Derilous callings.
The m~oonshiner Of to-day does not
cherish any decisions about individ-
ual liberty. He is not in the bust
ness to vindicate a principle. He
simply sees in the thing a chance to
turn a soodly sum at the risk of tenn
p~orarily losing his liberty, and he is
willing to assume this risk for the
money there is In it. AS a rule he
does not 60 armed to kill, as did his
f%orefathers, and ne relies upon his
heels rather than upon the accuracy
of his fire when the revenue men put
in their appearance.
Many raids have recently been con
Quoted and a dozen stills have been
seized. 1t was from one of the noon
sinners arrested That 1t was learned
how great is the profit, at present
prices for meal and sugar, in the bust
ness.

DRY Law" In south REEVES DusI-
ness-Big Risks, bat BiE Money.
Ability to convert SIG worth of raw
material int SIZE worth of liquor is
making a powerful appeal to the
moenshiner in the South and a great
revival Is being witnessed in this law
less industry. According to Knox
Booth, n Of the most widely known
internal revenue officers in the South
ern States, the Illicit manufacture of
liquors in Alabama has increased fully
SO per cent siace the prohibition law
went int effect, and a like condition
is said to obtain in Georgia, Tennes-
see and other states where the legiti-
mate sale Of intoxicants Is prohibited
by law.
Under the old conditions. with sa-
looms running or all sides and many
grocery stores in the rural sections
handling liquors, there was compare
lively little profit in the manufacture
Of "moonshine" whisky. At that time
the stuff was sold as low as 81 and
$l,50 per gallon. This price was not
sufficient to encourage the industry in
the face of vigorous work on the part
of Uncle Sans revenue scouts, and
the moonshiners became few and far
between.
Now, however. the rewards Of sue.
cessfully evading the law are much
greater and the old-timers are taking
bigger risks than they did under for
mer conditions. Mr.. Booth quotes
one man as saying that six bushels
of meal and geo pounds Of sugar gave
him thirty gallons Of whisky, which he
could readily sell at 81 per gallon.
A small still can turn out thirty gal
Ions per day easily, affording the en-
terprising skinner a profit of 500 for
the days work-and the days risk.
The bait held out to the moon
sinner is more tempting than at any
time since the war and it looks as If
the internal revenue agents will have
to do the work of almost a generation
