The Chamber of Commerce of the United States sees a general improvement of business condition^ throughout thetcountry. The memoranda of this nation-wide organization covers an inestigation on crops, finances and industrial activities. The highly interesting comment is made that there has been a widespread dissipation of the feeling "something is going to happen." tfip Elimination of the feeling "something is going to happen" will in Itself go a long way toward restoring business acttvities to normal. An attitude of timidity, a habit of hanging back because of a vague fear that "something is going to happen," is by no means a phenomenon due to war. The feeling that "something is going to happen" has been with us before. Such a feeling periodically has figured, for the oat part disastrously, pretty much rough all our business annals. It was this sort of a feeling that President ilson was directing attention when he referred to the psychology of depressions.

The biggest business men in the country, the men on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of handling vast capital accounts, have or are in the process of thrusting aside the feeling "that something is going to happen." The changed attitude is expressed by bankers, railway managers, steel manufacturers and captains of industry enerally. Here is the way Henry Ford, automobile manufacturer, puts it: "Prosperity has returned to the United States. I am getting reports from every quarter, and there is not one really bad spot."

The testimony is from men who how. It is an optimism resting on a substantial foundation.

SIGNS OF THE T1ME8.

Secretary Duflln, of the local bureau of iflinployment, in a report a few days aga said that "while boom conditions hays, not arrived, the bureau is placing motfe men than it did a month ago, and the^e is a general feeling of increased prosperity in the air."

..:

jple. of .Europe. get over, th.^ notion^hat Yankee means trickery in trade." There is not a single reason why sharp practices in the sale of American made goods should be tolerated at this time. On the other hand there are a multitude of reasons, patent to everyone, why American trade standards should be maintained on the highest possible plane. It should .be borne in on every American producer that this is pre-eminently the time to remember the maxim that hone3ty is the best policy.

The report of the London board of trade, just Issued, shows that for the half year ended July 30 the decreasei in the value of imports to Great Britain from Germany, Austria, France and Belgium is almost exactly counter-bal-anced by the increase in imports from the United States. The report is substantiated in detail by American consuls throughout Great Britain. The ctinsuls say, a point recognized by all but a few American manufacturers, that square dealing at this time means a large percentage of this extensive new trade can be retained permanently.

The recent report of American Consul Samuel M. Taylof at Birmingham, England,-is straight to the point. Consul Taylor shows that goods of every description formerly supplied by belligerent nations, of large amount and great variety, are now coming from the United -States. He concludes by saying: "There is no reason why, if the quality of the. American article is maintained, the trade now being: established should not be continued. If the American manufacturers and exporters, •while supplying the present demand, will see that no deterioration of quality is permitted,' this will become a permanent market."

The American appeal for the markets of the world must be made with clean hands.

GOOD 8ERVICE.

One of the best tests by which to measure the work of a department of state government is to compare the things accomplished by the same departments in other states, and then to figure the comparative cost. By this test there is hardly a department of the Indiana state government that will not make a most excellent showing. The individual officers and commissions are all operated at far less than the average cost of other states, and there are no Bimilar state offices and departments anywhere that accomplish more. This all accounts for the fact that in the' government reports that Indiana spent for her government $2.92 ?ep year per capita, while the average of all the states for the same purpose was $3.96 per Capita.

There is no other public service commission that is run for so small an outlay as that in Indiana, and the amount of work accomplished by the five members is remarkable. Many of the rulings are now accepted by other commissions as the standard.

When the industrial board was created to administer the new workmen's compensation law, this was accomplished by consolidating the new duties and plaping the work of the old inspection board under this same department. The only additional help required has been one extra clerk. In states like Michigan and Illinois the

The Gateway Through Which

Disease Enters Your System

Scientific iinvestigations have established beyond a reason of doubt that fully ninety per cent of the diseased to which human flesh is heir enters the body by way of the mouth. But a certain per cent of people have diseased gums—pus infected—another per cent have decayed teeth, filled with health defying germs, another per cent have lost part of the teeth, making indifferent mastication—hence indigestion—others have all of these conditions. The necessity for good health in the correction of these is most apparent, especially that dreadful disease pyorrhea, which we positively treat to cure. pV

administering of the workmen's compensation law alone required no more than does the same law in Indiana, has called for an office with at least fifty special employes.

At the same time .that all this .is true other things must be remembered. The representatives of insurance companies who have dealt with all the states, declare that Indiana is the only one in the list that Is fully ready for putting the law in force from the day It becomes effective. That da.te will be the first of September, and the Indiana board has been ready since the fifteenth of July. The only extra help this has req$gefc1$s $§$£ thtf of one cleric.

Another thing is to the credit of the Indiana board. That is that at least two states have "copied the rules and all the blank forms adoptee' here.

CAR SERVICE.

Following the successful showing made by the near-corner stop, street car companies in several western cities are trying out the skip-stop plan, and it is reported that the experiments have shown more efficient and rapid operation, without increasing the danger to street traffic.

Several eastern cities are now trying out the plan. One of these is Newark, N. J.. The report of the citizens' committee on the trial, plan says that in reducing the number of stops, fixing them perhaps at every other cross street instead of at every one, the time required to complete the. trip has been materially lessened. In. business and residence sections"where stops are made cri an average of ©very 2 00 feet, a car uses 52 per cent of the time operated in making stops, which means a loss to the passenger of over one-half the time of his total trip,

Sunday School Lesson for August 15

BY MANFORD G. WRIGHT, MONTROSE CHURCH.

Jeroboam leads Israel into sin. I Kings, 12:25-33.

Under his predecessor, Jeroboam, the subject of this lesson, had been the superintendent of the board of public works. As such he had developed his constructive genius to a' remarkable degree. Later, after the northern tribes had revolted and had placed him over themselves as king:, he applied his genius as a builder to' 'the Reconstruction of the national religion.

In this capacity, his genius outran piety and good sense. Not that constructive genius is not to be used for the Lord God, for it ought to be so used. But in the case of Jeroboam constructive genius was not guided by piety and reverence.

Mark the four ways. In which his genius was misused in religion. 1. In his building he departed widely from the plans delivered" expressly by the Master-Builder. It were, as though a builder today were to ignore all laws of architecture, his work resulting in a hodge-podge construction. He departed from the divine ptosis in three directions. First, he set,up,", the golden calves at Dan and Bethel, w)iich was expressly against the Second Commandment. Secondly, he "ihade priests from among all the people, which were not of the sons of Levi." Thirdly, he established his "Harvest Feast" not on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, which was the feagt of tabernacles, but on the fifteenth day of .. the eighth month. 2. In his building he had a Wrng motive. He sought to elevate and strengthen his own position as king rather than to exalt God and to strengthen a spiritual religion. He made religion the ladder of personal ambition. In all ages of the world there have been those thug minded, and in all ages such misuse of religion has led to folly. 3. In his recasting of-religious Institutions he made religibir too easy for the people. His apology for his course before the-people was:. "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem." The path.to, the Jerusalem of the christian: life and: of noble character -Is always' a difficult and an upward path. To smooth this path down to the dead 'fivel of ease or to, make it follow the lines of least resistance* is to rob religion of its supreme, glory and to rob the pilgrim of his crown. 4. In his building he surrendered the Ideal for practical considerations. He raised-a "false antagonism, between the two, &.& though the ideal .wec£ impracticafc'le, and as though the practicable were to be achieved at all. hazards. That class of sinners are a numerous brood today. Their demands are In evidence everywhere—in politics, in education, in ecclesiastical matters, in international relations. The argument is: "We

It was hard work but I stuck to it and I had many a feast on the. profits of a day's labors, remember one time 1 stood on the cornet1 for alrnost an hour waiting for some one -who wanted me to carry their basket and an old fat woman came along carrying the biggest basket'that I ha'ci ever seen on her arm. I approached her and asked her if I could carry her basket. She consented, and we startfed out,' sue Walking a-little in front of me, and 1 dragging along with the basket on my arm.

Well we walked for about half an hour. 1 think that her h'Ome must have been about a mile from the. end of the car line. Finally we peached our destination and I set the basket down with a sigh of relief, thinking that she would

have got to do something, get somewhere. If we cannot accomplish our object by fair .and honorable methods, we will do It by other methods. The end justifies the means." But the end does not justify the means. We have got to do nothing, except to do right. The God of righteousness does not measure our lives acoording to our achievements, but according to whether or not our lives sit into His plan. In so far as means and methods used are unrighteous we depart from His plan and' the !'w-ork we accomplish is built upon the insecure foundation of hay, wood and stubble,'destined to perish when every man's work is tried as by fire.

Whatever talent we have let us consecrate it to the Lord God. But as builder3 In the kingdom let us studi* the plans of the Master-Builder: let us he careful of our motives that they may be unselfish let us be discriminative in our methods so that unholy methods shall not spoil our wdrk and let us- not seek the easy path, but the right path, though it may lead us up hills of difficulty. The essential thing Is to obey God—after that we shall receive the crown of righteousness.

adoption of the skip-stop, as a walk to the new stop is hardly ever more than 300 feet longer than, formerly. It is true that no hard-and-fast rule can be made about skipping alternate streets, as fire streets, school streets, railway stations, and intersecting lines of railway must be reckoned with, but by careful study of the territory in which the car operates the system can be materially benefited by the adoption of the innovation,

How I Earned My First Dollar

Samuel H. Sterchi, Jeweler, of 306 Wabash avenue, earned his first dollar carrying baskets from the end of a car line in Knoxville, Tenn., for the housewives returning from the market. In this, way he explained he earned about one dollar a week. His charge was five"or t«m

She went over to the basket and took out a big red apple and gave it to me saying, "There little boy this will repay you for your trouble in helping me home with the basket." She walked in the house and left me with a mile to return to the end of the car line and only the big red apple to repay me for the long hard trip. I did not-always have such hard luck and many days I made as much as ten or fifteen cents.
