Trade Made Palestine Great.

All that made Palestine populous and prosperous at any time was the course of trade. The route for ex- change of products between Assyria and Egypt was over the desert of Stony Arabia, through the gaps in the Lebanon mountains. and over the best ford of the Jordan. From there tho fine wares of Ispahan and Babylon and Nineveh were either sent down into Egypt, or carried few miles farther to the ancient city of Acre, which then had the best harbor on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. This pros- perity lasted until the harbor at Acre began to silt up, and the course of trade changed to the north through Damascus and Antioch. Then Pales- tine became poor, because the people went where there were greater oppor. tunities. as they have to this day.

PARENTS. THAT SON OR DAUGHTER, WHAT ABOUT THEIR SUCCESS?

Their ability to think, to do,
 to act according to the dictator
 of a well trained mind will
 measure their success.
 How to give them the most of this important training in the shortest time and at a reasonable cost, is the question that a cata- logue from Americas largest
 business training school will
 answer. Whenever a group of
 parents get together, whether it
 be in the home, in the store or at convention, and the question
 of the kind of an education to
 give a boy. or girl comes up,
 some we'll informed parent and
 patron of the Tyler Commercial College, Tyler, Texas, will tell of the advantages of this famous
 institution and what wonderful
 results it accomplished for his son or daughter ill a remarkably short period of time, and at a small expense. He will tell of his child's success since gradu- ating in this institution and will emphasize the fact that the train ing received was broad and thorough, both from a business and moral standpoint. Write for a catalogue of the Tyler Com mercial College today. Read the endorsements from parents who have patronized this institution. Read the many endorsements rom students showing their sue cess. Read the endorsements of business men as to the thorough
 ness of training. Read the de. scnption of our extensive prac-
