S. S. Whitehead, founder and presi-
dent of the company, started in a
small way IN the year 1908 with the
product known as the Oakland Gem
Polish, which was sold direct TO the
housewife. In later years the name
Oakland was dropped and with i'm
provement in the formula the product
became known as the Gem Polish, "
and is now handled by practically ell
wholesale druggists and grocers in
the city and may be found in two large
department stores in the city.
The products comes in convenient
cake form and is applied to the sur.
face with a damp sponge. This appli-
cation is then rubbed crosswise with
a cloth and Immediately dried of.
Apart from other cleaners, this prod
uet does the work OF cleaning while
drying and acts rs both cleaner and
polisher. II has proved to be a great
saver Of time and energy and very in.
expesive. Large institutions have
used 1t exclusively for years.
I'VE have never had one complaint, "
said T. n Whitehead, ''stnce the

6TOR ANSWERS
[TAL QUESTION
POF ALL TIMES
Brown Gives Proof to
Critics of Christ in
Sermon.

In answering the question. WAS
Jesus Christ God or an Impostor?"
DR.. Lewis Brown, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church, Sunday firmly
stated that one cannot take Jesus
from Christianity
Those who believe in Cod" DIR
Brown ssid, point to His divine birth
miracles, acceptance of worship, sac
rificial death upon Calvary. resurrec
ton and ascension into Heaven as
making any other view impossible.
Those who deny His deity assume
Him to be good man. whose follow
ers sentimentaIly exalted Him to a
chief place inspired by faulty credu-
hty.
Challenge Hurled
at These Who Doubt
sBut the fact remains that Christ
made statements concerning Himself
that admit OF no explanation. Which
of you conceiveth Me of sin?' is still
the challenge Of the centuries only
accountable from supreme being.
TT is either true or yhperbole. No
one has INDUCED such claims and
prevailed with countless millions save
Jesus His experience transcends the
human at every stage Every attempt
thus far to dethrone Him has ended in
q collapse. If He was not God He was
not good. II He is simply a man. all
worship in His name is idolatry. We
cannot rightly give Him honor save
as divine.
ssTf EIa xras NOT God He has haau
the arch impostor Of the ages.
Refines the Bedrock
of Modern Christianity
christianity stands upon the rec
ord OF the gospels, substantiated by
history and the verdict of mankind
unbiased by prejudice.
Take away Christ and naught is
left. You can separate Buddha from
Buddhism and Mohammed from Mo-
hammedanisrn, but you cannot take
Jesus from Christianity. The cry to-
day is for the living Christ, Son of
God, only-begotten Of the Father. who
alone can forgive sin and proffer sal
Walton.
Christ authenticates Himself. He
Is the miracle OF miracles. His pres
ence anywhere means life, healing,
regeneration and spiritual power be-
cause He comes as God to restore and
reclaim.
Under His sway nations are born
anew and human lives give back the
sweetness Of eternal peace" DR..
Brown said.

PASSING OF BUCK
IS HINDRANCE TO
RAIL PROSPERITY
Haney Says Farms as Well as
Railroads Are Over

Directory Of the Bureau Of Business
Research, New York University.


Directory Of the Bureau Of Business
Research, New York University.
NEW YORK. Oct. lone dis
quieting feature of recent news has
been the persistent propaganda to
make the railways the goat.
When the anthracite coal settle
ment was announced and higher coal
prices were predicted. 1t was pro-
posed to ease the burden Of the con-
sumner by reducing freight rates.
Various politicians who are supposed
to lead the farmers have proposed TO
help the wheat grower by cutting
transportation charges. It is the old
game Of passing the buck, but here
the consequences are too serious to
be a Joking matter. The recent report
that the railway brotherhoods will
demand a u per cent wage increase
makes the thing worse.
Proposed Legislation Blamed
The continued threats OF radical
! LEGISLATION directed against the ratt
ways have had an undoubted effect
! in intimidating investors. Conse
quently the railways have been forced
to raise the funds they need for oars
| locomotives and new construction by
issuing bonds. These are the only
kind of securities investors will take
when the risk Of inadequate rates Is
so great AS result the railways
fixed charges in the shape OF interest,"
payments have become too large
Farms Also Over-Mortgagea
The railways are over-mortgaget

way business would be good Il we
would not threaten It with unwise
regulations, while the wheat business
Is overdone. win venture the asser
ton that there Is more over-capitalza
ton irz farming than there Is in rail
reading.
On the one hand, we have an over
supply OF wheat; on the other hand,
we have an under-supply of trans
portation facilities. such as railway
terminals. for instance. Under these
circumstances It is doubly bad 70 try
to help the wheat farmer by hinder
Ing the railway, ..... 49,
The closer the proposition is con.
sidered the worse It looks The
chances for exporting much wheat
this year are very poor, SO that the
amount of aid that farmers would
secure Is not rs great as some sup
pose.
| The lines which serve the wheat
farmers Immediately and which would
be hit hardest by reduced rates on
wheat ars just the ones which can
/ least afford It. They have already
been suffering with the farmer.
Each on Its Own Feet

GERMANY To
ENDPASS|VE
RESISTANCE
Berlin Reaches End Of
Ability to Finance
Struggle.
RUHR MORALE LOWER
Resisters No Longer Able
to Maintain Solid
Front.
BY the Associated Press.

Berlin, Sept. 5.-Germany has ar
rived at the end of her tether so far as
her further ability to finance passive
resistance is concerned.
This is the current impression in
banking circles, which expect that Ger
many. in the course of the next few
days, will tahe the initiative in the
direction of proposing that official
discussions be begun with the French
and Belgian governments.
That the Ruhr and Rhineland tight
has been lost by the government and
the army of German resisters now is
tacitly admitted in political circles,
although the press has not yet dis
cussed the situation with which the
government is confronted.
1t is believed, however, that the
German editors have been informed by
Chancellor Stresemann that the gov
eminent will try to force solution
of the Ruhr conflict in the near fu-
ture.
The situation in the occupied areas
also is steadily becoming worse both
in respect to economic conditions and
the temper of the resisters, who no
longer are able to maintain the soli-
darity necessary for united front.
