MANS DEBT TO THE WORM.

The first great colonists Of the
land, said Prof. J. Arthur Thomp-
son during the course Of a lecture at
the Royal institute, London, were
worms. Mankind should look back
to them with gratitude, because they
began with the profitable habit Of
moving with one end Of the body al
ways in front-a habit which was
the beginning Of a more vigorous
life and opened up a great process
which has resulted in one being able
to tell ones right hand from ones
left"

Cut This Out and Take 1t With
You.

A man often forgets the ex-
act name of the article he wish
es to purchase, and as a last
resort takes something else in
stead. This is always disap-
pointing and unsatisfactory.
The safe way is to cut this out
and take it with you so as to
make sure of getting Chamber

nothing quite so satisfactory
