SlGN.MAPS ASSIST TRAVELLER
Example Set by state Of Maryland
Might Well Be Followed by
Other Commonwealth.

Mcryland has set an example that
might proftably be followed by all
states, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Instead Of the curt and usually un-
satisfying road sign that leaves the
traveller frequently more puzzled than
before, Maryland has begun to erect
sign-maps that tell the traveller where
he Is that indicate the general direc-
ton to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus, instead
Of being told a road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard Of, the sign-map will show him
that 1t Is either on or off the way to
the place he Is anxious to reach.
Such sIgn-maps should not be neces-
sarily expensive to put up, nor elabor-
ate. In fact, the simpler the better.
But how many times has lost motor
list sighed for some such simple de-
vice that would show him where he
was and how he could get to the
place he was trying to reachi The
ordinary road signs, even when legi-
BILE, are seldom of much value except
to local people, who do not need them.

( him who waits" were amended to
read, Nothing comes to him who
waits" It would be true.
As 1t stands II Is one Of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
In existence.
Your energy Is your capital. Use II
wisely and economically and 1t Will
pay you an almost usurlous rate Of In
terest.
Half use 1t, or waste II on things
that are Of no value and you will just
about make living, which Is thing
which no man Of ambition wants to
do.
Education teaches us to use our en-
ergy probably. An educated man can.
or should, get more out of the same
amount Of energy than an uneducated
man, exactly as turbine gets more
out of a column of falling water than
the old-fashioned oyershot wheel.
Yet the energy must be there, or the
education must be useless. There must
be driving force which will apply what
you have learned to your problems.
Nothing important was ever accom-
pllshed by education alone.
II you haven't got energy. cultivate
1t. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will I'M
prove, and with physical energy you
will gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle business tangle II you
have been playing tennis all the morn
Ing. The exercise will use up the en-
ergy that ought to be expended on the
Job. Your brains can't use what your
muscles have used already.
Energy Is always capital, hut 1t must
be well and prudently invested.
Take care of yours. Add to 1t by
care of your health and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend 1t on
important matters, and don't be
afraid to expend 1t literally. 1t Is one
thing of which the more you spend the
more you will have, provided, OF
course, It Is not foollshly wasted.

THE TWO CAPTAINS.

~ Ne captain went clear through
" the war
And never struck blow;
He came home with perfect score
A perfect letter o.
Citations never mentioned him,
For, neither good nor bad,
He came home safe In life and limb
But that was all he had.
Twas Captain Go-and-Do, the man
Who served his flag In France;
And well and wisely he could plan
Just how men should advance.
As brave as any soldier true,
No fight he ever won
He didn't know that Go-and-Do
Gets very little done.
Another captain came back home
With honors that they gave.
Came proudly sailing DER the foam,
The Idol Of the brave.
(No drawer man than Go-and-Do)
They hailed him Marine to Metz
The other captain of the two
Was Captain Come-on-Lets.
The war Is over, industry
The soldier now demands;
And yet the fate of nations we
Still carry in our hands.
o captains of the battle new,
When business duty frets
Are you Captain Go-and-Do
Or Captain Come-on-Letsf

demonstration last spring II the
farmers In the district would con-
tribute materials and labor. The re-
/sponse was gratifying. Nineteen men
and five teams were furnished. and
In two and half days the road and
bridge were completed. Everything
needed was on hand in the community
so that no time was lost going TO the
mill for anything, the only expense
being s1.2O invested In nails. The
road was constructed with both gravel
and corduroy.
The demonstration was one OF the
most successful ever carried out In the
country. Nothing could have met with
more general approval and satisfnc-
tion. One farmer who makes two trips
to market a week said he would save
over $40 on every trip over the new
road because Of the shorter haul
About 500 people will be benefited by
the improvement.

AS YOU THINK.

THE lovely or homely lines on your
face, the expression In your eyes,
the curvature Of your lips and
In fact every visible llneament on your
features, Is but an outward sign of
your thoughts-your hidden self.
"For as he thinketh within himself,
80 is he" says the Biblical proverb.
Whether you suspect 1t or not, you
carry with you at all times In the
traclngs on your countenance, all the
good and the evil thoughts that CON
troll your impulses and shape your
destiny,
Some psychologists there are who
can with a wonderful degree OF ac-
curacy read your face as they would
read printed book and determine
after much observation the quality OF
your character.
A little child Is often adept in read
ing at first glance the cast and build
of the telltale marks on face hard-
ened by crime, and will shrink from
1t In abject fear, even when there Is
an attempted smile.
Through the llp-smile child
gllmpses the soul and senses the
souls deceit and wlckedness.
A thoroughbred dog has the same IN
nate instinct.
At the sight Of a hard face, the
bristes on the dogs back Will rise as
he shifts, steps warily and utters Q
resentful growl
The thoughts that are yours, those
that predominant, shape and compel
your acts, govern your words and the
information of your voice, light your
eyes and color your cheeks, slowly and
surely trace their indelible lines on
your face, that wise creatures may
read them with unerring certainty.
II thoughts be ugly, the face VIII
be ugly, and you, yourself, Will be as
you think, In spite of artifice and dill
gently polished manners.
Upon the other hand, II thoughts
be sweet, pure charitable, kindly and
noble, there will be perpetually shin.

that the best antidote for the

the snake itself--a sort Of ''hair
