Winter Treads

Now these tires, if wanted, come
with the ideal non-skid tread.
A double-thick tread, made of
very tough rubber. Not a mere
single tread.
Deep-cut blocks which present
to the road surface countless edges
and angles. Enduring treads with
a bulldog grip.
And blocks that meet at the base
so the strain is distributed-not
centered, as usual, on a part of
the fabric.
These things mean a long-lived
tire, a grip that's sure and a last

1t is a bad omen with a certain class

ever, if the corner is torn off that dis

been pinched off of the currency now
in circulation in Atlanta.
If you have a two dollar bill take a
look at 1t. If all corners are intact

While purchasing a newspaper Tues
day, a man gave the newsie a two dol

Galilee," which makes this young fellow
the beneficiary of one of Jesus mira
cles, and shows how he offers his lunch
gladly to express his appreciation for
what Jesus had done for him.
Then working through His disciples
entirely, using them for His instru-
ments for accomplishing His purpose
He had them make the people sit down
in square grass plots of hundreds and
hfties each; the women and children
sitting in place to themselves. And
when He had asked Gods blessing upon
the meal He dispensed the food and
multiplied this lunch until almost
10000 people were fed from it, and
each one of the disciples had gathered
of that which remained a two-gallon
basketful to supply their needs for the
next few days. Some rationalistic
writer has tried to explain away this
most remarkable miracle by stating
that the spirit of liberality shown by
the lad was emulated so that each one
gave of what he had, and thus the COM
pany was fed But the folly of this
is easily seen when we appreciate that
there were two-gallon baskets more
after the meal than there had been at
the beginning. There is but one way to
explain this: that He by whom all the
world had been created, had exercised
His power again.
ITS MANY-SIDED RESULT.
The fact that this is the only mira
Gle which is recorded by all four evan
gelists has been noted and the fact
that it had produced a marvellous ef
feet on the people, on the disciples. and
on Jesus. All the people were looking
upon Him with great favor; when this
miracle was performed they realized
that the man who could exert such
power as this, was the Man who could
lead them to victory. With practical
unanimity they hailed Him as their
king, and tried even with force to make
Him king.
The disciples were thus caught in
this tide, and seemed to see the fulfill
ment of their dreams in the immedi-
ate future, their dreams Of a temporal
kingdom and their leader as king, with
themselves as the highest officers in
the kingdom.
On Jesus. however, it had quite a
different effect. 1t was a great tempta-
ton to Him; He had been born into
the world in order that He might be
the king. There was the devil Offering
Him again to realize His desires with
out going by way Of the cross. The
temptation was so great to Him that
He had to withdraw into the noun
tains, where He spent the whole night
in prayer. If Jesus needed to with
draw from the source Of temptation
and stay all night in prayer. that might
be the way of escape that God makes
for you when temptation comes to YOU
What did Jesus intend to teach in
that miracle? He never exercised pow
er without purpose. There are many
subsidiary lessons which are very val
liable, but 1T seems to me that the pri-
mary one which Jesus had in mind was
this: Il am the bread of life" He
wanted to demonstrate to these people
that He was able and willing to sup
ply their every need, and thus COM
mend himself to them as the Saviour
they needed.
And this is the blessing which we
present to you today. In His name,
we offer you this Saviour as the One
who is able and willing to supply your
every need. Will you accept Him?

Dear Household: 1 am just back
from a visit to my old home, and l
had one question put to me so many
times that ] am going to write you a
letter, hoping it may help other girls
l had no money, nor was my mother
able to keep a home for us, so | went
to city and studied stenography. My
uncle and aunt said 1 might help them
for my board. That was a 'cinch," in
some peoples eyes. 1 want you to un-
derstand that my relatives were as
good to me as they were to their own
children, but my advice is for no girl
to try that way of paying board if she
can possibly help it, Few of the resi-
dences in a city are near the business
center; that means that at least half
or an hour if you walk, must be count
ed on every morning You may be able
to sweep the house and put on break
fast, or help dress the children, but a
city breakfast is timed just right for
the children to get to school, or the man
of the house to get, to the Office and
you must have time to dress for school.
Then at noon you barely have time 20
get dinner. The children may be left
i'm your care in the afternoon, the dinner
dishes may be for you to wash and sup
per to look after. Where is the time
for you to study? Light and fuel cost
a lot of money, and you can't expect a
room to yourself nor the quiet you
really need for the memory tests you
are going to have. l got through, but it
took me longer than it would if l had
been regularly boarding.
Then 1 want to speak of the money
that one must have. Laundry is never
less than so cents a week. and that
means that you must wear dark skirts
and not over three shirt waists a week
Shoes and gloves and hose have a way
Of getting beyond wear in a very short
time, and one must at all times have
money for a car ride because it's bet
ter to spend a nickel that way than
spoil ones clothes.
If you must ride all the time, and
that's most likely, you need not expect
to get off under a dollar a week. seven
days means 20 cents and the extra 80
cents is for the times you go some
where in the afternoon or evening. If
you go home to dinner. remember that
means 20 cents a day car fare instead
of 10. Stationery, of every description,
costs money and must be counted in.
Handicapped as / was I did not make
any brilliant record. My first position
just did pay my expenses, but 1 had the
privilege Of going back and studying
in the evening, and then my teachers
got me a position that enabled me to
have my mother come and share my
room. 1t was close economy for more
than a year, then she found a cottage
with a nice back yard and we moved
there, got six hens and 1 found a girl
who wanted just such a home, so we
have had a very happy time. There
have been ups and downs, doctors bills
for mother and an occulist bill for me,
but we are so glad to be together that
am as happy as a lark. One point L
want to make is that 1 don't believe
many strangers would be satisfied with
the work a student can do for her board.
Cordially yours,
A BUSINESS WOMAN.

could get I suspect. have seen two

us, a good. sensible woman is the best
