Irving Fletcher, tho wcll'known ad vertising .expert, said at an advertis ing men's dinner at Delmonlco's In New York: "A good advertisement never lies. It never deceives. For it can only pay by making life patrons, not tran sient ones. ' "A good advertisement never lies, but it states its case as strongly as possible, and it avails itself of every point, however slight. There it is like young Jones. "Young Jones proposed at lake wood to a pretty girl, but sho said un certainly, swinging iter slim foot in and out of her slashed skirt: " 'I like you, Mr. Jones. But, then, I like Mr. Brown, too And Mr. Brown is so devoted. Ho says he thinks of me SC5 days in the year.' "'Huh!' snorted young Jones, con temptuously, 'lie wants a day off every four years, does he? Well, I hope you're not taken in by any such one-horse devotion as that.' " Her Explanation. "Uncle Hank" Barnhart, member of congress from Indiana, tells of a young man from out his way who met a young woman he had not seen for many years. "I though you were dead," was the young man's greeting. "No," insisted tho girl, "but I'm married." "To whom?" "Oh, some Englishman." Shock Proof.

I It Is said that in Arabia where cof- feo is used In largo quantities, many lose their eyesight at about ilfty. Tea 1 contains tho samo drug, caffeine, as coffee. , A N. J. woman writes to tho point concerning eye troublo and coffee. She says: I "My son was for years troubled with I his ees. Ho tried several kinds of glasses without relief. Tho optician 1 said there was a defect In his eyes I which was hard to reach. ! "Ho used to drink coffee, as wo all 1 did, and llnally quit it and bogan to uso Postum. That was three years I ago and ho lias not had to wear glasses and has had no trouble with his eyes since. 'I was always fond of tea and coffeo and llnally became so nervous I could hardly sit still long enough to cat a meal. My heart was in such a con dition I thought I might die at any tlmo. "Medlcino did not givo mo relief and I was almost desperate. It was about this tlmo we decided to quit cof fee and uso Postum, and havo used It over since. I am in perfect health.

IniMult, Chioto SS'$4!xe$$$$$' TKXT- "I nm the IlKht of tho world In- that followetli me sIihII not wnlk tn tlnrknees, but shall have tile llht of life." John J 12 It is not strango that men aro doubters. Sin baa so blinded our moral vision that wo do not sec tho truth as it is. but in a distorted fashion which makes it iqss at tractive. "The nat ural in a n rc celvelh not tho things of tho Spirit of Clod: for they nre foolish ness unto him; nelthor can ha know them because they are spiritual ly discerned." U Cor. 2:14). Furthermore, tho truth as it Is in .Testis carries with it condemnation for tho sinner, and no one enjoys re proof or rebuko. As the lawyer, will ing to Justify himself, said: "Who is my neighbor?" so the natural heart questions tho authority of the Uibli, and even the existence of God. rather than confess its sin. Add to this tho fact that the devil who ilrst Injected doubt into the mind of man, and who Is rightly called by our Savior tho father of Jies, is ever seeking to preju dice the creature against the Creator, and It Is not strange that ull thinking people pass through a period of doubt as to tho fundamentals of religion, and some are so completely blinded that they never come out of their spiritual dnrkness. In dealing with doubters It is im portant to ascertain their real posi tion. Some skeptics are mero trillers who are too indolent to grapplo with the truth In a resolute way, and so find It easier to doubt and drift with tho current of their natural inclina tions. Others uso their skepticism as a cover for an ungodly life. You van say to such when they question the inspiration of the Bible that one proof of its divine origin Is the fact that it describes their condition so complete ly, nnd tells how they came into that condition. Remind them that to doubt the Bible does not alter tho facts which it reveals, but It does subject them to the charge of making GotKa liar (I John 5:10), and it puts theni under condemnation. "He that belleveth not Is condemned already, because he hath not believed In the name of the only begotten son of God. And this Is tho condemnation, that light is come into tho world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:18, 19). It is said that a vessel once sighted an enemy jnst at sundown, nnd kept up a cannonade until the darkness put a stop to it. When the sun nroso tho nest morning, they were cha grined to find that tho supposed enemy was nn immense rock, which still re mained Intact after many hours of bombarding. So In all ages men have been demolishing tho Bible ns tho enemy of the human race, but tho old Book still stands, silent, but solid as the Rock of Ages.. Tor trilling skep tics John 8:21, 24 Is very good as showing the consequences of unbelief, while John 5:40 discloses the origin of their skepticism. "Vo will not como to mo that ye might have life." There is another class of doubters who aro really desirous of knowing the truth. As some ono has ex pressed It, "IIo wishes thoro was a God to whom ho could come as a child to his father, but ho does not know whether there Is or not. and he wants to know. IIo wishes he were an immortal spirit; but he Is not posi tive that he Is anything more than nn animated machlno, and he seeks for evidence, lie would be glad to believe xhat this unknown God has provided for this unknown soul some way by which It could know both Its father and Itself. Ho does not dis believe In God or Christ, hut ho does not know, and ho wnnts to know " For such peoplo there are two paths to the light, the intellectual nnd the moral Tho first begins with tho known and argues its way to the un known. Tho creation proves a crea tor. Intelligent and moral beings Imply a creator capable of producing Biich. Tho scientific method results only in a high degree of probability, It Is true, but then we act every day on Just such probabilities, -and we ought to act upon them in religion. Tho othor method starts with tho distinction between right nnd wrong which wo all know, nnd which no moral man enn doubt. Into this world has como Jesus of Nazareth. He meets our ideals, ho commends him self to our consciousness, ho com mands our will If wo take his life nnd follow it, his teachings nnd obey them, wo will soon find our way into tho light. "I nm tho light of tho world: ho that followeth me shall not walk In darkness, but shall have the light of llfo" (John 8:12) If nny man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether It bo of God, or whether I speak of myself (John 7 17J. MM'4s$J$' (&m&k iw'Z GOOD ROADS GOOD ROADS PROVE BENEFIT Improved Highways Increase Attend ance at Rural Schools States Ma king Greatest Progress. While It Is true thnt various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at schools In given sections of the country, it is worthy of com ment thnt In tho stntes having a high percentage of Improved roads a much larger percentage of tho students em rolled regularly attend the schools, than in the states having a small per. centago or improve! roads. In flvo eastern and western states, which havo a largo mileage of Improved roads, tho average attendance of en rolled pupils in 190S-9 was 80 per cent, while In four southern states and one northwestern stato, which aro noted for bad road3, tho average attendance for the samo year was 01 per cent--80 per cent In tho good roads states as against 64 por cent in tho bad roads states. In tho states llrst named 85 per cent of tho roads havo been A Good Road In New England. Improved, while In tho lntter group of btatcs there are only ll per cent of tho roads improved. That improved roads would benefit our country school system there would seem to bo no doubt. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or cen tralizo tho Bchools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will ac commodate all of the children within a radius of from fou- to five miles. Iu many communities having tho advan tage of improved roads commodious buildings havo been provided, moro competent teachers havo been em ployed, und modern facilities for teach ing have been supplied at a minimum cost. For instance, since tho improve ment of tho main highways in Durham county, North Carolina, the number of school houses has been reduced from 05 to 42, of which 17 aro graded and have two or more rooms and employ two or moro teachers. There aro at tho present time about two thousand consolidated rural schools in tho United States. It np pears that Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made the greatest prog ress along these lines, and it Is rather significant to note that in these states aboui one-third of the roads havo been improved. According to statistics of Uio agricultural department ther.. was expended In 1S99, $22,110 in Massachu setts for the conveyance of pupils to consolidated schools, but in 1008 the expenditure for this purpose amounted to $292,213. In Indiana the expendi ture for this purpose In 1901 amounted to $80,000, while in 1908. $290,000 was expended. This expenditure for trans portation reflects, in a general way, tho extent and progress of this new educational movement It must not be understood that this is nn additional burden, as the expenditure thus made Is saved In othor directions. BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD Among Many Other Things It Attracts Investors Looking for Advan tageous Locations. A long stretch of improved roatl Is ono of tho best advertisements a state ran hno. It attracts ii class of tour ists who are ablo and willing to pay for entertainment, it brings Investors who aro looking for advantageous lo cations. It includos agricultural inves tigation and consequent immigration and investment, not only along tho lino of tho roatl. but in other accessible sections. It changes, by the sheer forco of publicity, backward localities Into progressive ones, enhances val ues, and brings Into general notlco re sources which had only been know locally; or, If known, not appreciate!. Tho advantages which such stretches of main mads causo to accrue are ad vantages which affect the entire state, ns well as tho localities themselves It Bhould, therefore, bo assumed as a principle that such main roads should be built, in whole or In part, by the Btate; that their management nnd maintenance should bo in the haudi tif the statu authorities.
