Chamberlain's Tablets,

Chamberlain Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bilious
ness and constipation, and have met
with much success in the treatment Of
those diseases. People who have suf-
fered for years with stomach trouble and
have been unable to obtain any perma.
nent relief, have been completely cured
by the use of these tablets. Chamber
lain's Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipation may
be permanently cured by taking Cham
berlain's Tablets and observing the plain
printed directions with each bottle.

Never Knows What He Wants-

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the normal necessity to have
recourse to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing. The acquisition of
this most costly thing always involves,
In practice, the separation of the rich
man from society. Thus, he will &C.
quire a large estate, or several large
estates, and cut himself off from the
world by gates, doors, miles of drive,
lodge keepers, menials, and secreta-
ries. Or he will acquire a 2,OOO-ton
yacht and cross the Atlantic privately,
though less quickly, less comfortably,
and even less privately than on a great
liner. Or he will keep a private or
chestra, instead of being seen at con-
certs. All which, though magnificent,
is antisocial and silly, and is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle OF
the night and can't 60 to sleep again.

Map Has coIored Roads

South Carolina is one of the states
which have marked the poles and sign
boards along the main roads by col
ored bands indicating the various
routes Of which the roads form parts.
There are nine Of these through
routes in all, crossing the state in
every direction. In order to make it
as easy as possible for the traveller
to follow any Of them, the state COM
missioner Of agriculture, commerce
and industries has issued q map of
South Carolina in which the routes
are indicated by the same colors used
in the wayside marking. This is car
rying the idea of marking roads of
maximum convenience further than
has been done by many other states,
and is particularly interesting because
South Carolina has no state highway

Bicycle BaIancer.

An apparatus has been invented by
Eugene Tourtier of Paris, France.
which gives bicycles, motorcycles
and every other similar vehicle a YER
tical equilibrium regardless Of whether
or not the road is level. It is merely
necessary to support the machine in an
upright position by operating a lever
attached to the handlebar, according to
the Popular Science Monthly.
The lever can be operated while the
bicycle is moving, making 1t possible
for q rider to remain in his seal as
the wheel comes to a stop and to start
again without d~ismount1ng. The steel

FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SAVING
Men Must Look to the Future II There

Socialists claim that the world would
be better off If every man received and
consumed all that he produced so that
nobody could accumulate wealth or be-
come more prosperous than his neigh
Dor. II all men we're equally strong,
intelligent, honest and industrious,
such a state might be possible; but the
superman must come first.
If a small group of men living by
themselves save nothing and do no
work to improve their future, they
will not progress. They would have to
build and otherwise create real wealth
for future use, or they would remain
barbarians. The aborigines Of Amer
lea, Australia and most of Africa lived
from hand to mouth for ages. Ameri.
can Indians were practical socialists,
and they made no progress, though
they were physically strong and intel
lectually bright. They remained barba.
rians because they gave no thought to
the future.
