FRUITS OF PROSPERITY.

Never before in this country have the big factories
been buster and labor fully employed throughout
the United States in general than noW never have the
railroads been steadily laden with freight never
have the harvess been heavier the yield of mines richer
and all business brisker and sounder. Never did new
year upon greater prosperity than the American
people are enjoying today
What does it mean to us?
The most common question is "Wil it last?" But that
is not the most important question
Prosperity means more money of course, more COM
FORTS pleasures more freedom from WORRIES more
ioy in living The industrious are working their way
forward and upward The thrifty are laying aside a
competence Hundreds Of thousands of homes are be-
ing built 1t is time rich with hopes and achievement
But what does all this really mean to us?
Merely more money, more comforts, more pleasures?
Are there blessings for in prosperity beyond the
material joys of easier living?
Alas for us as people if fail to in our bountifu
plenty the responsibility to better selves which this
prosperity has put upon u.s.
Adversely develops great differences in men. Pros
perity develops greater differences still.
Many are glad to seize the fruits that fall from the
cornucopia and eat, drink and be merry.
Many others store them securely away where they are
of no use to themselves anyone else.
And others carefully use them as means to develope
their own minds to broaden and sWeeten their sympa
thes to educate their children to lend helping hand to
the weak to soothe the sorrowng, to make the home
whoesomer and happier to build schools and hospitals
and churches to grasp not the joys that must perish with
themselves but to create those eavening human forces
that shall endure forever.
Wealth itself never advanced humanity single step.
Prosperity that is wholly material can never truly
benefit any people 1t is but enriched soil in which the
real treasures of life may be better grown.

Automobile authorities that are not interested in

is probable heavy demand was expected from the
west but it was far greater than the manufacturers an
ticipaed and dealers in New York City find as
difficult to supply the demand those throughout the
middle west and the west In addition there is an alb
normal demand from Europe. None can tell what dmen-
sions the automobile business may reach Fears have
frequently been expressed that the general purchase of

in other directions Certainly enormous amount of
money is tied up in automobiles in individual ownership
with correspondingly small distribution for labor and

COTTON'S USE IN WAR.

Cotton is being blown up at faster rate than at
any previous time in the history Of the world accord
ing to the Wall Street Journal The of guncotton in
up-todate warfare is enormous, being largely used in
the high explosives for instance the English Cordite is
81 per cent cotton
United States Ordnance experts estimate that every
time one of the big Is inch guns of Uncle Sans navy goes
off there is one less bale of cotton of 500 pounds One
discharge the IL inch gun consumes 300 pounds of cot
ton.
Those same experts figure that it requires one pound
of cotton to make one pound of guncotton the loss in
weight being accounted for in the treating of cotton in
mixture Of strong nitric acid and suphlrc acids One
of them estimates that 100000 the firing line
use up about 10000 bales of cotton in week Of fairly
active fighting although guesses that score are neces-
sariy vague.
Powder companies have been very large buyers of cot
ton.

CATARRH GERMS

If you have catarrh and want to get

The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs of Catarrh- and
consequently ending the disease itself,
is to breathe into the air passages of
your nose and throat the pleasant pene.
