The colors red and yellow are

the mind and nervous system OF civ.
ilized man Precisely the opposite
is true Of the color blue.
Instead OF exciting his mind. blue
tends to tranquilize it, When a
deep shade. approaching violet in
hue, it may act on the mind as a
positive depressant.
This is borne ont by numerous
observations made by scientific in
yestigators, both I'm this country
and elsewhere. At the University
Of Illinois. for example, Prof. y. A.

7 the decrease in rural districts, but there
has also been a steady decline in relig-
ious matters. IL is in the city that the
church has been losing its grip. The
labor question: he insists. must be
considered by the church. The radical
tendency among workingmen Is in a
measure justified when one considers the
conditions under which labor in many
parts Of our country is living.
The Times has not so much as init
mated that the ministers of great
churches prefer to hold themselves aloof

detachment from the regular pastoral

II seems hardly necessary for The
Times to repeat, in view of its record of
cooperation with the religious life OF De-
troit-being the first newspaper to give
the church interests of this city any
thing like adequate representation IN the
printing OF local news-that it knows no
denominations distractions in support

neither is it held under any kind OF
thrall that deters it from pointing out de-
fects in its methods and indicating

fine spirit of religious fraternity and toll

Sherman Success

The success of Sherman's $40
Store" in the Schmulbach Building,
has been won by the strict adherence
to policy of good goods at one price,
and upright dealing.
If ever customer complained at
Sherman's, he was given a new gar
ment or his money back. without en-
barrassing questions, or argument.
This course, pursued steadily and con-
sistently through four years, has made
the name ''Sherman's" the symbol OF
reliability. And this is the more re-
markable when it is considered that
the popularity of the price limit led
many to fear at first that dependable
merchandise could not be secured.
That the management believed the
merchandise dependable was shown
by their willingness to refund the pur-
chase price if there was any dissatis-
faction, and that it is really depend
able is shown by the steady growth
of the store.
Not the least contributing factor to
the success Of the store, however, Is
attributed to Max Schafer. Two
years ago he joined the establishment,
and In one year had been made man
ager. He continued the policy launch
ed by the owners, and this, added to
his personal popularity, and his repu-
tation in this city where he has lived
for years, for uprightness and integ-
rity, has helped make the store grow.

ONE ON SECRETARY DANIELS
Head of the Navy Evidently Not an Expert as to the Odor of
 Alcoholic Liquors.

A story is going the rounds in Washington about Secretary of the Navy Daniels which may or may not reflect credit on that official, accord ing to the point of view. According to this story the secretary was one morning conferring with an officer and in the middle of his conference interrupted the proceedings to say: This is the second morning that I have smelled whisky on your breath, sir!"
 To which the officer is said to have replied: "I beg your pardon, MT. Sec retary, it was whisky yesterday, but it is gin this morning."
 No name has been allowed to leak out in connection with this story, and it may be that there is more fiction than fact in it.-Boston Transcript
