Maryland is not a rich state, but for her resourchs she is doing more for the public highways than almost any of her sisters, In planning to spend $4,000,000 on them, it is provided that the highway commission shall keep all statd highways reasonably free of brush and otherwise in good condition, plant shade trees if practicable, and establish and maintain watering troughs, A state that makes herself attractive adds materially to her as- sots.—Providence Journal. Maryland's way is & good way, A state can look trim and clean ag well as a town, and it is a way of increas- ing her population and incidentally rer wealth, Her way provides for the comfort and protection of man and beast and it is virtually & sign that she has a special regard not only for her own people but for every one who travels through her territory. A great deal is being said about advertising cities at a great expense in money, but the very best advertisement a com- munity or a state can have results om deeds. Maryland is doing things to increase her attractiveness and her fame. SO SOON BEATEN. Roosevelt's great horseback ride has so soop been beaten by an Ohlo man 65 years old, who rode 126 miles in a day, against 96 for Roose- velt. Such performances almost come the head of horseback Mara- thons.—Rutland N not consider & miles a it simply to show a horrified and pro- testing lot of military men that they ought not to shrink from what a civil- lan can easily endure, He came off 1 ready to continue business. Doubtless that 96-mile ride has since many times Dbeaten, since by men who took it not as feat, but as a necessity on ccount of urgent ness. Probably this @5-year-old, Ohio man would tell the world that e could do even bet- ter than that under more favorable circumstances. NO PLACE FOR INVALIDS. Los Angeles does not want the doc- tors of the country to commend its climate to chronic invalids and con- sumpt cure for their ilis. They proc! hat the ngtion can hear ‘this climate does not raise the dead and rarely cures consumptives!” A formal protest is made through the charity conference committee of Los Angeles, composed of the presidents d secretaries of all Its organized charitles. This has been transmitted to similar organizations in every part of t > country. It asks, in the name of harity and humanity, physiclans not to send patients in advanced stages of uberculosis to that city only to cause fering to those who fall & burden on a community with which they have no legitimate ties. Denver, Col, with the same experi- ence long ago raised the same protest and showed up the cruetly of the prac- tice. Dr. Samuel A. Eliot relates that when a minister in that city one of his saddest duties was to attend the 1s of persons who had been sent out there from the east, doomed to dle 1d in a strange land, This has quent experfence of other clergymen and charity workers, ince the open-air treatment for tu- ilosis has been the practice, this -fashioned health chasing to dry ates has been abandoned.

If | had' the credentials I should join the Sociéty of the Descendants of the Founders of Norwich, for they em.- blazoned the name of Norwich upon this beautiful site 230 years ago and placed Norwich on the map and their descendants have made it more and more celebrated for two and a half centuries. The moon that has looked down upon these hills more years than the pyramids of Egvpt represent may smite at our glorying over so short a space of time, and well it may, for these hills were green and wooded and these rivers shimmering in the sun far back of the time when the Star of Bethlehem appeared to the shepherds who were watching thefr flocks on the -nut half way to his mouth, plains of Chaldea. We have made but & little notch on the yardstick of time yet that is greatly to the credit of the founders of “the Rose of New Eng- land.” The world is full of proverbs and | they just represent in a way the com- pressed experiences of the human race The collécted proverbs might well be called the flowers of human experi- ence. But do you know that Sancho Panzé, the quaint squire of Cervantes, made more proverbs than Solcmon, and they were made to stay and to be quoted and to be of use according to their merit or thelr truth. Al nations have their proverbs and centurfes be- fore it was written that “one swallow does not make a summer” the West Africans had learned that “one tree 402s not make a forest.”” Our collected proverbs represent the wisdom of all nations learned through the experi- ences of untold ages. “Ever had the mo old man?” asked one friend of another recently. “Oh, yes, I've been cured of thet—I don't pay dimes to see pictures of human misery!” “How's that?” sald the inquirer.” “The last time I went,” said he, “I saw the misfortunce of & poor family—a depiction of pov- erty, sickness and death such as no healthy mind could imagine or no hu- man heart’ tolerate—there wasn't a bright spot in it—to me now it Is a ghastly drean. I saw enough misery and suffered enough distress in those few moments to last me a lifetime. Since that night moving pictures have not appealed to me.” He is not alone. Murder, rabrery, arson, kidnappirg and drunkenness are poor entertainment for anyone. o picture fever, The fad in flowers this year will run to the old-fashioned good keepers and the marigolds our mothers used to grow, those great lemon-yellow and old-gold Africang are going to be the table ornaments because of their fine keeping qualities. Then the National Council of Horticulture is recommend- ing to amateurs the cultivation of (Torentia fourniori found in any of the catalogues) the wishbone flower a dainty white and blue annual, which grows readily in any sunny spot. Those who like to keep in step with fashion in border flowers, those who realize the decorative value of salvia will not forget this bush of flame which gleams from July until frost.

I once heard of a case that was completely cured in one lesson, and it was one of the cases where little things were never returned. The lender called on the borrower and got something and right after dinner returned it with many thanks and assurances that she was s0 sorry to have troubled her, and that orrower went out of the business be- cause she was made conscious of the fact that she was a daily annoyance without any manners to speak of. We all talk too much. That is what/| the parrot said after being denuded of its plumage, and that is what we all have to acknowledge just as soon as we have been careless of speech and reaped the consequences. Those who like to know things cultivate inquisi- tive habits and they find out things by asking questions, which, by the way, a discreet person usually answers evasively, but other persons answer frequently to their sorrow. Talk makes more trouble than anything else on earth, and cheap, inconsequential talk at that, There is no one who can keep a secrct like yourself, and remember “a secret is like an umbrella, once out ur hand it belongs to tother fel~ Most of the affairs of life be- to us and there is no reason why we should give anyone a mortgage up- on them, “Revenge is sweet” is one of the ly- ing old proverbs which would never e been kept alive untll this time men been wise.

TLet what we are and what we are to become put shame upon what we were, “I ses they're planxing to raise the price of coffee,” said the conductor when the car reached the end of the’| run and the motorman had fished out thaLtwo lunch pails from beneath the eal s “Who- are?” demanded the motor- man, prying the lid off his pail. “The tarMf,” explained the condue- tor. “The new administration at ‘Washington.” The motorman paused with a dough- “ON, that's {t?” he sald, rather bit- terly, “Fine! That's what we get for voting for Taft and prosperity. w_g::’- “‘n'.’: ‘g;)‘r;wficd d peered conductor an e into the depths of his own lunch pail while he tried to arrange his ideas on the tariff. “Well, it’s simple enourh” he sald. “They need the money down in Wash- ington to run the government and pay off the help and all that and it's got to come from somewhere, That's what they call the tariff. We've got to set- tle for it one way or another, and this coffee business is one way.” “They couldn’t run very much gov- ernment on all they get off coffee,” commented the motorman, taking a drink of his own coffee appreciatively. “How did they get along In Wash- ington all this time without this extra money ?"* This was somewhat of a facer for the conductor and he frowned porten- tously at his sandwich before attempt- ing a reply. “It's getting to cost more to run this country every year,” he sald. “You see, we're spreading out and the tariff has to spread with us. There's the Philippines and—and Cuba and all that to be paid for right along. It costs a lot of money.” “That's plain enough,” admitted the motorman. lighting his pipe, “Well, the president sends ‘em a message teffing all the senators and all the rest what to do about it and the supreme court passes a law everything cost more for a while the expenses are all paid up. They call it tariff and that's what the two big partles are always fighting about. The democrats don’t want any and the republicans want a lot of it. But it isn't only coffee—stockings and per. fumery are going up, t00.” “That ain't going to worry me any,” declared the . moforman, cheerfully. “But I'm dinged if I can see why Taft and those fellows picked out coffes to swing on. I thought the govern- ment got its money out of postage stamps and the stamps on beer kegs and cigar boxes. “They do get some of it that way,” admitted the conductor, “but prices have gone up so much that they need more money. I suppose they might have put 2-cent stamps up to 3 cents just as easy as not, but that wouldn't help much. Anyway, we've got to have tariff to have prosperitv. I heard a fellow explain it last fall in the blg tent out here just before election. He says that when you see a fellow going along with a swel] suit of clothes on and a diamond ring and a silk hat and all that, costing a lot of money, you say he's prosperous, see? But If he’s moochin’ along with his toes out and a bunged-up hat he ain’t pros. perous. That stuff he's got on doesn’t cost anything—you've got to spend money to have prosperity.” ‘The motorman got up and stood by the car door for a moment thinking it over. “Then I got to pay more for mv coffee after this, just to have It said that I'm prosperous; is that it?” he de- manded. “That's about the size of it* thing,” said the “Well, it's a funn: motorman. ‘T'd rather use the extra money to g0 to a nickel show."-—Chi-" cago News, i SUNDAT ORNING T/LK 1 esssnssensnss asses: “SAME OLD JOB™ Over the telephone the other dsy 1 asked a man whom I had not seen for months what Le was doing. “Same old job,” was the reply, and the tone as well as the language indicated what he disgust and open revolt, but rather that of “grin and bear it” of patient acqulescence in the inevitable, togeth- er with the abandonment of hope that things would ever better. It seemed as if the voices of multi- tudes were speaking over the wire. I could hear the unvoiced complaint of the man who opens and shuts a gate all day long, the man who hands out tickets through a window, the man who delivers milk at the back door in the gray of the morning, the woman who stitches away on a garment, “he Wou- an who washes dishes, who mends the children's garments, the woman who attends to the fretful and demanding babjes. In fact, the whole multitude of persons condemned to a single kind of task, and that in itself terribly mo. notonous, spoke in that one man's re sponse over the wire, “Same old job, Modern life rru'nh no greater single personal problem than that of secur- ing an hcnest and cheerful measure of service on the part of the multitudes to whom the progress and differentfa- tion of industry has assigned relativel; small and menial tasks of a treadmill character. The same personal prob- lem confronts even those who have higher tasks and who do not hove to delve and grind In the midst of material things; but who, nevertheless, do not escape that sense of weariness Lecause of unylelding obstacles, cramping lim- itations, and only a moderate degree of success when their ambition is spur- ring them to larger achievements. And so it becomes a very vital ques- tion to all of us, how can we face tne “same old -job” morning by morning with new courage, initiatlve &nd hopa? First, by looking at it as a new task. That may seem altogether impossible, if we have sat in the same chair or stood behind the*same counter for 10, 16 or 30 years; but It s within the field of the possible, provided one has determination enough, for as Susan Coolidge sings: “Every dsy is a new beginning; Every morning is & world made new.” Try it some day and approach the old duty as though you had never sam it Lefore, and see if it does not presen o you some new and inspiring aspects. Or, we might think of the next dar's | service as the last one we should ever render. That might make things ssem a little solemn, to be sure. but would prevent us, perhaps, from'care- less and slipshod work, from leaving any raw edges for our successor to Aeai with, The wonderful thing about the work of Jesus Christ was that he finished it, left it In precisely the right shape for his followers to take it up &nd carry on. There is incentive, too, in trying to imagine how soma other man would du the same thing. Suppose President Taft could spare a day from the Whita house and the oversight of this na- tlon to do your job, how would he ap- proach i{t?” What new ways and jm- proved methods would he e‘mgl:}'? Wrat kind of a spirit would he chow? ‘What would be his attitude to his em- ployers and the concern as a whole? How would he deal with the problem? This “other man” i{s not an Imposs!- bility or a myth. He may turn up any day, and you would better anticipate his coming by tryine to do as well as he would in your place. And the last and chief source of fresh courage for the “same old job” is the consolation of being a soldier on duty. Unless we get some ser.se of the control and guidance of our life by a higher power we shall he apt once ard again to recoll from the monvtony and strain and irksomeness. But suppose you can say, “God wants me here, He put me here; for all 1 can see he want: me and no one else here.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING And Knowing Is Believing You Can’'t Have Dyspepsia and Take Kodol, Because It Di- gests All the Food You Eat Chronic dyspesia is very hard to cure. Kodol will effectually assist in curing, and it is far more satisfactory to pre- vent this disease. Kodol prevents dys- pepsia, by making the digestion good, and keeping it good. It s worth some. thing to know this, If you have indi- gestion, and likely to have dyspepsia. Kodol prevents dy: and makes the digestion good, by digesting all the food you eat. A tablespoonful of Kodol will digest 21-4 pounds of food. That is, a tablespoonful of Kodol will digest that quantity of any kind of food you may eat. Not only a single class of food—but All_kinds of food, in any combination. You can’t have dyspepsia, if you take Kodol now and then—be- cause it is not possible for you to have dyspepsia, as long as vour food digests properly—and Kodol digests the food you eat. Our guarantee—Get a dollar bottle of Kodol. If you are not bene- fited—the drugglist will at once return your money. Don’t hesitate; any drug- gist will sell you Kodol on these terms.
