AS TO MRTENns

There are nl5Shts few men in the
world who really appreciate the fav-
ors that are shown them, or who wish
to return good for good With most
men If you offer them your coat, they
will take your cloak also. It is a pes
simistic way of looking at things, but
it is true. On the other hand, treat d
man in q hard manner, and he will
often become your good friend. The
best friend Chicago engineer had
upon his work, was a man whom he
had previously knocked down with
an aX.-Lawrence World.

physicians. a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after noticed that did
not get any relief that way, went for
three years to the hospital But they
were unable to help me there, 1 used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain When 1 showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. l did not know
what to do. l was so sick and had be-
come SO nervous that positively lost
all hope.
II had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them. for had already used SO
many medicines. Finally did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and
tell you that was never SO pleased as
when noticed that. after having used
two sets Of Cuticura Soap. Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. l should be only
too glad II people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

WHY NEW ORLEANS
city is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
IT. Geographical Position and Many
other Considerations Mark 't ~
Most Suitable Spot for Oeoi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with
great International Exposition In
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question OF
where this Exposition Is to DO neio
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contrasting for the honor OF hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums OF
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
~worid's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build. will be great ed
vocational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage Of our popula-
ton who can secure It's educational
advantages, this In turn. depends up
on its location, as the time In travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters. New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion,- seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is 2,5Oe miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
0nn
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans. there are 65.O0e.000
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average OF 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 10 Of our
principal cities with q combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with COM
bined population Of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2407 miles.
Over rs per cent of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare Of $3.50. as
against an average OF $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast: and for several mill
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone.
for trip to San Francisco. would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This Is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to-
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
tion. and II held in New Orleans =
great many more could spare the.
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
