Uncertainty of Opinion.

Don't be sure Of your opinion. 1t Is
the. verdict of q few facts and vet
there are thousands of facts that give
no assistance in forming it. If there
were no other proof of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that it causes so
much dispute is sufficient. Truth
causes no dispute. Think of two men
quarreling over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal,
water seeks its own level, or the gold
en- rule. Men can love one another on
the platform Of truth, but as soon as
they make a platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t is so in re-
ligion, politics, industry, society.
There is no true faith in anything
that is not based on love- When we
see men quarreling about religion they
are the devils own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart. The three
things that combine in God are faith.

is love. for without it the other two
are impossible. When it makes you

Natural Gas.

In the past there has been enormous
waste of natural gas, and the total
waste is still discreditable to the ma
ton. In the Appalachian field the loss
Of gas from oil wells, flambeaux, from
leaking pipe lines and many other
methods of waste was not less than
100000 cubic feet daily, and prob
ably much more. The heating value
Of 1,0O0,000,000 cubic feet Of natural
gas is roughly equivalent to that
81 100000 bushels of coal. In one
state not less than 250,000,000 cubic
feet of gas has been wasted daily, and
possibly more than double that guam
tity, 80 per cent of which might have
been easily and cheaply preventable.
In the CaddO Oa.) natural gas field
ut least 400,000,000 cubic feet of gas
was wasted daily, practically all the
waste being preventable. Two wells
In this field having an estimated vol
ume of 20,O0O,00O or 100000 cubic
feet q day blew out and burned for
one or two years.-Philadelphia Eve

At once the door was opened by the

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No fooIishnese! Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore cOrns, hard cOrns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get n small
bottle of freeZOne at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. IF your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get q small bottle for you from his
