CLARENCE LOCKE MILLER.
Gives Brilliant Word Picture on ''TOls.
tot, Prophet of Peace"

When those in charge of the three
course lyceum in the Congregational
church, selected Clarence Locke Mil
Ter to present his lecture, Leo Tolls
tot, the Prophet of Peace" they GER
tainly could not have anticipated the
lecturers depth of logic nor his un-
limited acquaintance with both Tolstoi
and his subject.
Mr. Miller rose far above the level
of a lecturer-he was teacher; an
inspiration. His words were not
those to please for the time being;
they were subjects for future thought.
There was not a phase Of his subject,
light, solemn or tragic, to which he
did not artistically apply his superb
oratorical ability with the GESTURE, in
1ection or force which caused the
auditor to grasp and feel the word
picture presented
This is the second of the lyceum
course, the first being Russian mus1-
clans The last number will be the
Watertown Symphony orchestra, and
granting the excellence of its two pre-
decessors, one may feel assured that
those responsible for the two excel
lent numbers which have passed, Will
offer nothing but the best in orchestra
music for the farewell number, which
will be given soon.

business can be chopped only by the
most drastic action.
1T is pointed out" declares the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in it's weekly news letter, that
traffic in medicines for which false
and fraudulent claims are made is not
only an economic fraud of the worst
kind, in that a worthless preparation
that costs but a few cents is frequent
ly sold for a dollar or more bottle,
but that health, and even life, are en-
dangered by failure to secure the
service of a physician in such serious
diseases as tuberculosis, diphtheria,
pneumonia, and scarlet fever until too
late, because reliance may have been
placed in the curative powers of some
worthless preparation which is claim
ed to be a never-failing remedy. The
deluded victim may not realize his
danger until the disease has reached
stage too far advanced for even the
ablest physician to cope with it.
Effective treatment depends in most
cases on applying it during the early
stages of the disease"
Several specific cases are recorded
in the bulletin and list is given Of
preparations against which the gov
ernments charge of false or fraudu-
lent labelling has been sustained by
the federal courts. This information
is available to the public for the ask
ing, and if people in general would
learn to utilize knowledge thus avail
able many penny which now goes
out in worse than worthless expendi-
ture might be turned to better uses.

How to Kill a Preacher.

The following rules, if carefully OBJ
Kill his influence, kill his ambition,
kill him mentally, morally and ply
sically.
1. Stay away from church, especially
on bad days, when you know the
crowd will be small.
2. Stay away from prayer meeting
because you know the crowd will
be small or someone is on to lead
you don't like.
8 When the sermon is over, leave
the church in a hurry without
speaking a word to the preacher, a
word of encouragement.
f. When you get sick don't let him
know it, and abuse him for not
coming to see you.
5. Never invite him and his family
out to dine in your home. They
never enjoy a social.
6. Pay just as little on his salary and
grumble about that. This makes
him feel good
Z. Never give him anything but the
little amount you promise. 1t
would make him think you appre-
ciate him.
s. Always have a fool excuse to offer
when he wants you to do a little
work for God.
9. Don't ever go to see him or his
family and then raise old Billy
CAIN" because he doesn't come to
see you twice month.
TO- Act as cold and Indifferent to-
ward him as you can and he will
think you are dignified.
If these ten doses do not kill him,
they will force him to leave town with
the thought, 81 would that had never
been born. "-Lithonia (Ga.) Journal.

You remember while ago that six hundred men took

Chalmers Dealers
Now they insist that of the same kind be built
more of the 3:0O +. p Chalmers.
So the Chalmers executives have put through fac
tory work order for 10000 more of theIu.
They built and delivered, in six months, $4,000.
That was all they intended To build for entire
year. That completed their part of the $22,OOO,OOO
affair.
We cot them to build another 10000. We thought
that would be enough to last through the fall. But
no. the 10000 quickly taken up during the
summer months.
So they are going to build 10000 more. That
means, all told, 10000 cars-or S560tG).O0O worth

We get little of the 'prce" trade Most OF those
who come to us have passed that era in car buying.
They want quality. And they know pretty well
where to look for it, They look for it in the sound
of the engine, in the action of the clutch, in the
action of the steering apparatus, in the sound OF
the differenial.
They examine the radiator try the brakes, observe
the kind of glass i'm the windshield note the kind OF
material in the top, and then poke around into the
corners of the body
That much done, they get into the car and try her
out. For they smart enough to know that The
biggest result of quality is performance.
That's what usually brings the sale. For perform

accelcration- lively and full of spunk.
And then she climbs hills quickly and hugs the
road SD well at Il rapid clip.
And best of all she handles easily. She's as
