4 FOURTH OF JULY MESSAGE FROM
 THE GOD OF NATIONS
BY REV. DR. CORY


 Therefore thou shalt keep the command ments of the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of foun- tains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills
 A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees, and pomgranates; a land of olive oil and honey,-
 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness; thou shalt not lack anything in it ; land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass,-
 When thou hast eaten and art full then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee
 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I com mand thee this day.
 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses and dweIt therein; And when thy herds and thy focks multi ply and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied and all that thou hast is multiplied, Then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
 ****s
 And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy Co., for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth; that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy Fathers as it is this day.
 And it shall be if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face so shall ye perish, because vel would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your Go.''-Bible.

Cash Register Monopoly

From the Springfield Union.
 It is not the tariff that enables the cash register company to sell its ma chimes in the American market at dou- ble the price it sells them in the for eign market. It merely has taken ad- vantage of its monopoly. Mir. Bever- idge showed that more than 150 manu- facturers had been put completely out of business by the trust, and that the trust had absorbed fifteen other con cerns that had rather more vitality than those that succumbed. Scientific revision of the tariff is impossible with out knowing to what extent monopoly is responsible for existing prices. In the case of cash registers, it appears that monopoly and not the tariff is to blame. But be this as it may, it seems to be clearly established that the cash reg

 Somehow or other one expects coun- try with such name as Swaziland to be happy, and sure enough, MT.

What the Chinese Eat.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 In the Revue Hygiene, Dr. Maleg non, who has lived for many years in China, gives some curious details of the food of the Chinese. This is what he says of the "Sons of Heaven' and the way they eat eggs. "The Chinese are great eaters of eggs, which they take hard boiled One finds them in all the roadside places for refreshment. The Celestials have an expression, Eggs of hundred years, but one is able to get them of many years standing The Celestials have a preference for the eggs of the duck or goose. They are placed with aromatic herbs in slacked lime for period, the minimum time of treatment being five or six weeks Under the influence of tim r the volk liqueies and takes ? dark green color.

And, of course, indigestion if nc g. lected long enough. brings on Seri- ous diseases in which Kodol cannot benefit you. Some of these there is no help for at all.
 There are, in fact, very few ail- ments which cannot be traced di- rectly to impure blood. And i'm pure blood is always due to a dis ordered stomach.
 Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dyspepsia.
 Kodol will cnectually assist Ma ture to secure complete restora- ton of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food in the stomach and keeping it di- gested, until the stomach is rested and can resume its own work. Ko- dol removes the cause-and the effect quickly removes itself.

THE UNWASTED MOMENT

In the business of living, which it is the first duty of every man to learn, there is one asset that is too little respected the cumulative pow CT of the unwasted moment There are days, that as we all experience, when the condition of our nervous system, our disgust with the past, or the fictitious troubles borrowed from the future keep uus from giving due attention to the work of the present. When this general lack of application is the manifest result of such freaks of the mercury as we have been treated to for the past few days poor, strugg ling, human nature is very pardonable Against the elements and the weather man mere mortals cannot successfully contend. One is partially privileged, then to flap flag of truce in the face of industry and seek nepenthe in cool retreat and an ice cream soda.--
 But when the lasstude permissible in the more savage part of the summer solstice be- comes chronic ailment. this is indeed disaster. And yet, we meet every day, people who are afflicted with his perennial coma of brain and muscle. Circumstances may make it necessary

for a person to daily in the market place throughout the year, but in many instances the forsaking of spasmodic endeavor and intermit- tent application for really methodical man ner of work would give the individual time for unalloyed reacreation devoid of business wor- ries. Business is an excellent institution in the office, but it is a powerful source of insomnia if taken to bed with one at night And yet, there are men who will worry through day without accomplishing anything worth while, and will then spend the better part of the night refecting on what they haven't done This kind of thing illustrates one phase of human nature.
 A variation in humanity is found in the man who is eternay in hurry He tears through the streets with a cloud of dust and sidestep- ping pedestrians in his wake Oftentimes, he deceives the populace into thinking he is great force in the world. People remark that he is a hard worker He is But that doesn't always signify that he ever gets anything done. His business career is often a splendid collection of beginnings without single ending to it's credit. His office is chaos. And his business usually becomes so
 There is still third type, the man who al- ways appears deliberate. He apparently has all the time in the world to give to the merest detail. But yet if one observes him, 1t will be noticed that he makes every move count. Very often he is the man who does things, but he does them in so quiet and matter of fact way that the attention of the multitude is not at tracted hereby. But, sooner or later, the notice of the people is called to what he has done. And then, in truth, he has his inning.
 q H., T yzed, it will probably be discovered that when in his place of business, he rarely wastes mo- ment. To be sure, he takes time to be courteous and tactful. Courtesy and tact are business as- sets and most of us will agree that they are advisable and necessary from othe rpoints of view than that of the counting house. In more ways than one it pays to be kindly and consid- crate. To be lacking in these qualities marks the automaton and the boor And this kind of man is dstanced in business competition before he makes his "get away" But if every of the day Is utilized for something 5he man who makes his minutes count arrives 1t some desirable goal.
 How often one hesitates to begin a task which few hours, or even minutes, of earnest application would put behind him forever Hours or days are spent in uneasiness over the prospect of doing something that is of short luration before one onslaught of earnest en- leavor. Yes, the cumulative power of the un- wasted moment conquers all things but death md 1t can postpone even that deplorable phe- lomenon. The doctrine of making every blow ell, of making every golden moment count, is | IS old as the hills, and yet as new as the morn ng dew, and in just the same sense

ister industry needs no protection, when it can sell abroad, in possible competi- ton with machines of foreign manufac- ture, at prices onc-half those charged at home.

"A Woman Of Mystery"

theaters that the smaller cities cannot

expense, such as great productions
with 200 people on the stage. which
possibly is the only reason that the
production is great. Richard Mans
field when starring in "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac" of Henry "" could not afford
to play the smaller cities but last sea-

him to do so because he merely car

in rooms. His apparatus is an air
filter, which mechanically sterilizes
air. Very fine drops of glycerine are
scattered along the walls of cylin-

particle of air drawn in by the fan
is freighted with glycerine and hence
tends to drop, thereby carrying with
it the germs. dust and microbes with
which it may be laden.

THE BEST ATTRACTIONS.

The opening Of the new Murray the
alter, Tenth and Main streets. has
been postponed until Monday evening,
October II, by Manager o. G. Murray.
The failure OF the contractors to COM
plete the lobby and box office OF the

Mr.. Murray had hoped to open the
theater in time for the Fall Festival
with strong vaudeville show, char
acteristic of the attractions to be Civ
en- at this theater. Although he might
have done so, even though the box
office and lobby were not completed
he felt that it would be wiser to wait
for one week when grand open
ing might be made with everything in
readiness.
Gets Good Attractions.
The attractions to- be booked at the
theater are the best on the Murray
Sun circuit, of approximately twelve
houses. Mr.. Murray plans to increase
the attractions to four acts each show
instead of three, and give illustrated
songs and motion pictures in addition
Owing to the increased cost in bring
ing the better talent to the city, the
prices of the new theater will bt

The theater will be the most beauti
full on the Murray-Sun circuit. The
interior decorations will be very at
tractive but more especially those o
the lobby and entrance.
The remainder Of the building will
not be ready for occupation by tenant
for three or four weeks yet.
