There are tendencies Of the age
that every true mag should resist; not
to overwhelm them, perhaps. but to
contine them to their proper sphere.
For instance. the tendency toward
amusements has gone mad. II is all
right within reason. but It goes be-
yond reason and holds Itself out as
the main purpose In life. Many peo-
pie are not happy unless they are
amused. They scarcely have room
for a serious thought. The reality of
the ideal Is not inside their compre-
henslon. They abuse sports, shows,
dances. cards, ETC., by making them
the end Of life. Such a course de-
stroys personality and the public
spirit. No man or woman who be-
lleves In true progress or has q re-
spect for religion will train In that
habit. They will be positive for the
right, the good and the pure. The sin
Of the age Is the lack of noble ideals
and the fear Of standing up for them.

SAFETY FOR DRIVERS.

The bureau Of standards has been
experimenting to secure a means Of
overcoming the logged glass which
obscures the vision of a chauffeur
or motorman in rainy weather. Glyc-
erin properly used will overcome
this difficulty. 1t has been used by
locomotives engineers for years, but
the bureau has thoroughly tested its
efficacy with a view to recommending
its wider use. The glass should be
thoroughly cleaned and then rubbed
with a cloth wet with glycerin. When
the drops of water strike the coated
glass they coalesce, forming a
smooth, transparent film, which is no
obstruction to vision. The uncoated
glass becomes covered with separated
drops, which completely befog the
surface.

NEVER HARD TO FIND FAULT
But No One Who Has the Unfortunate
Habit Ever Found Himself Ex-
tremely Popular.

II is much easier to pick fault
with others than to be correct your
self. 1t is better to be fo~rbearing.
No one likes others to be exacting Of
him about every little mistake or
folly. Be not so to others. Be
ready to overlook small things,
10 make allowances. Because you
can do this or that or live 80
or 50, it is not to be expected that
everyone a do or be the same.
Though you may think your way the
best, someone else may have just as
good ideas-or better. Who made
you judge that you a make laws
for all? Do you want to toe the
mark Of another's making? II not,
do not expect others to come up to
your line. Live your own life the
best you can and while you try to
help, leave the lives Of others to their
creator for judgment. A habit Of
debating grows on one. It is better
to watch out and stop yourself before
you begin. II it is part of your
business to direct others, do 80 in the
right spirit, with a respect to their
rights and your own self-respect.
Nagging is belittling to yourself and
does harm, not good. 1t improves
or reforms no one. A habit Of find
ing fault renders one disagreeable.
Make criticisms and suggestions
with great care. Seek what you can
commend and emphasize that.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

The great American peanut is broad
ening its empire. The crop grows even
faster than the peanut-eaters multiply.
The demand which bulges at county
fairs and baseball games and joys
along steadily in every town and ham,
let all the year through is not equal to
the increased supply. But the pea
nut does not suffer. The oil industry
balances the score, says Cleveland
Leader. The nuts the millions Of pea
nut-eaters don't eat can be swallowed
easily by the mills which make pea"
nut oil and peanut meal. The oil 10
a welcome and very good addition to
the food supply Of the country. Tho
meal gets the same end less direct
ly. Cattle and swine eat II and then
they are eaten In turn. This year Texas
alone expects to make about 10000 bar
rels Of peanut oil. There will be 49,
900 tons Of peanut meal as a side prod
uct. These figures will doubtless be
far surpassed before long. Ultimately
a great deal of soap may be made In
the United States, MS 1t Is In France
and other countries Of Europe, with
peanut oil as one Of Its ingredients.
So the peanut Is not only holding its
own, but widening Its field Of useful
ness. 1t Is one Of the products Of
American agriculture which are us
promising as they are popular.

For a business to be successful for forty years means a great deal. Among other things, it means remark able excellence in the products it sells. No inferior article can be sold on a large scale for so many years; and it must not only be good at the outset. but so good that the progress of forty years shall not develop any better ar ticle to supercede it.
