A VERT DESIRABLE PROPERTY

On River Street for Sale at a Bargain. Desirable and well located residence lots or properties in Rensselaer at a reasonable price, or what heretofore has been considered a reasonable price, are becoming very scarce. The extensive building operations on the west side of the river during the past two years has practically exhausted most of the well located lots and "has made this section of the city desirable residence district by Teason of its cleanliness, its ample drainage and the high class of residences that have been erected "there. It is entirely free from the asmoke nuisance of some other parts of the city and it is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, where most of the residents own the property they occupy.

The improvement of South street from Washington to Kannal avenue is opening up a small section containing a number of desirable lots and it is probable that within a year or two both sides of that street will be completely built up. This street is to be macadamed and have cement curb and gutter, contract hav&g already been let. The has for sale the former John Bill property fronting on River street and located on the corner of River and Odell streets, seventy-five feet on River street and running west 300 feet to South street. There is a good substantial house now on the east seventy-five feet with private sewer, fine shade and one of the very best and prettiest locations in the city. River street is the widest and one of the best improved streets in Rensselaer, while Odell street on the north side of this property is also macadamed. This property can be bought at the present time for much less than it is worth, taking into consideration its splendid location and its advantages otherwise. We will ■sell this property entire or either seventy-five foot lot separately as desired.

A LIVING SACRIFICE

£omsm H.l-4-Sotmter M. The Purpose of the Epistle to the Romans The Advantage of the Jew Over the Gentile Cause of Israel’s Failure to Get the Chief Blessing. Call of the Gentiles to Complete the Body of Christ—The Church Called to Sacrifice—Various Instructions. "Praffl/ pour bodies a living sacrifice, half, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” —Terse I. 1 ■ HILE St. Paul was a won- # ■ | cterful logician, and in his writing has set forth the elements of Christian faith along doctrinal lines more than has any other Apostle, yet we notice that he is not discussing theological points merely for the sake of argument or of showing his ability. In every instance his arguments lead the reader onward and upward to a

grand upper room of perfected Christian character. Nowhere is this more manifest than in St Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. Beginning with the distinction between Jew and Gentile, he contrasts the former, informed respecting God and to some extent re-

specting His Plan, with- the latter, “without God and having no hope in the world.” After calling attention to the general ignorance of God prevailing amongst Gentiles, he points out how this degradation had come, and why the knowledge of God had reached Israel first—not because the Israelites were better than the Gentiles, but because of the Divine grace, “election.” Then the Apostle demonstrates that, while seeking Divine favor, Israel failed to get the chief blessing because they mistook the mission of the Mosaic Law. They hypocritically claimed that they kept the Law inviolate and were therefore entitled to its blessings of eternal life, etc.; whereas they should have admitted that they were so fallen from perfection that they could not keep the perfect Law of God. Then they should have looked to God for help. In this attitude of mind they would have been ready to receive eternal life as a through Jesus Christ, and not have sought it by the perfection of their own works. So the Apostle points out that Israel failed because they sought the blessing by works, not by faith. (Romans 11:6. 7.) He then points out that Israel's fall into blindness and the calling of a peculiar people from amongst the Gentiles to complete the elect company was foreknown of God and declared through the Prophets. (Romans 9 and 10.) But he shows that Israel is not cast off forever; that when the elect class is completed, all Israel shall be saved from the blindness into which they stumbled when they rejected Christ; and that their recovery will be the signal for blessings upon all mankind.—Romans 11:15, 25-32. True Christian Living. In Verse 1 of today’s Study the Apostle reaches the crown of his argument. He is addressing the “brethren” of the Household of Faith—those justified by faith in Christ Jesus the Redeemer—and urges them to accept the Divine Invitation to enter the elect Body of Christ, being gathered from amongst Jews and Gentiles. The way to this exalted position is pointed out as one of sacrifice. To “present your bodies a living sacrifice” is to do what our Lord did—Jo ignore the will of the flesh with all its hopes and ambitions, however proper in themselves, thenceforth to devote our time, energy, talent, etc., to doing God’s will and work. (John 6:18; 4:34.) This full consecration is even unto death, when the reward is sure. Such a sacrifice on the part of justified believers is reckoned of God as holy, because the merit of our Redeemer’s sacrificial death is imputed to them through faith. Therefore their sacri-

world. They should know the reason for their sufferings, and should have a clear understanding of the character which God would develop in them, to fit them for the Kingdom. Today’! Study treats of some characteristics necessary to those who would make their calling and election sure. Through the grace given him the Apostle Paul foresaw that one of the greatest temptations amongst Christians would be the ambition to be great, to be highly esteemed, and to do something which would attract attention rather than the common things which constitute the bulk of actual service. Therefore he counseled every man in the Church to take a sober estimate of his talents, in order to make the best use of them as a wise, faithful steward. Then, having found where we can do most effectual service for the Truth, let us spend our energies therein with diligence and carefulness, contented to be humble that our talents may increase to the Master's glory.

BRONZE BEST LIKED

Beautiful Plumage and Large Size Has Given This Turkey First Place. THE bronze turkey holds the place of honor among its tribe. I t is a cross between the wild and the tame turkey. Its beautiful, rich plumage and its size have come from its wild progenitors. To maintain these desirable qualities crosses are continually made. In this way the mammoth size has been gained. Their standard weight ranges from 16 to 36 pounds, according to age and sex. Probably more of this variety are grown each year than of all others. The coloring of this variety is a ground of black, blazoned or shaded with bronze. This shading is rich and glowing, and when the sun’s rays are reflected from these colors they shine like polished steeL The Narragansett turkeys are next in size to the bronze. They are of black ground color, each feather ending with a band of steel gray, edged with black. This imparts a grayish cast to the entire surface plumage. Mixed with this is the finish of metallic black and bronze luster.

The standard weights of this variety are, for males, from 24 to 30 pounds; for females, from 12 to 18 pounds. Some old males of both this and the bronze variety weigh over 40 pounds. The buff turkey Is not generally known throughout the country. In many localities it is almost unknown. The standard calls for a pure buff color throughout, but this shade of coloring is seldom seen. As bred for market these turkeys are of a reddish buff or light chestnut color mixed with white and some dark shadings. They are highly valued in some localities for their quick growth and for their attractiveness when dressed. Their average weight is several pounds less than that of the Narragansett. The slate turkey might be called a blue turkey. They about average in size with the buffs and blacks. They range from 10 to 25 pounds, according to age and sex. The black color ranges from small spots to larger markings, but the less of this the better for exhibition purposes. It might be surmised that the slate turkey originated from a cross of white and black turkeys. In America the white turkey Is called the white Holland turkey. The reason for this is not apparent, though some think it is so called because it originally came from Holland. White tur keys were formerly quite delicate and rather small, but now are more gener ally developed. The standard oi weight is less for the whites than foi other varieties. They range from 1( pounds for young hens to 26 poundi for old toms. In color of plumagt they should be white throughout (ex cept that each has a black beard or the breast), with shanks and toes pink ish white.

WHAT GOOD ROADS DO FOR US

Increase School Attendance, Improve Social Conditions, and Business. A 15 per cent increase in the proportion of the available children attending schools took place following the construction of good roads in eight counties studied by the office of public roadg and rural engineering of the department it is shown in a recent publication of the office, I Department Bulletin No. 393. The improvement in roads was followed also in several of the counties, the report shows, by consolidation of a I number of the little one-room schools into graded schools, which give the pupils better educational advantagea; by a development of various industries, and by social improvement due to easier intercourse. These improvements are related closely to increases in land values and decreases’ in hauling costs, effects also traced to the construction of improved roads. The studies were made in Spotsylvania, Dinwiddle, Lee and Wise counties, Virginia; Franklin county, New York; Dallas county, Alabama; Lauderdale county, Mississippi, and Manatee county, Florida. In Spotsylvania county, Virginia, the average daily school attendance increased from 57 per cent of the enrollment before the roads were improved to 77 per cent after. Several small schools were consolidated. Between 1909, the year preceding the building of good roads, and 1913, the year following their completion, the shipment of forest products, the principal products of the county, increased more than 78 per cent. The increase during this period in the poultry business in the county was 77 per cent, and in dairying 110 per cent. In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, the average daily attendance for children for thirteen schools on the improved roads was 63.4 per cent of the enrollments in 1912-13, while the average attendance for all other schools in the county was 56 per cent. Several school consolidations have been effected, larger school buildings have been constructed, and pupils have been transported to school at the expense of the educational system since the road improvements were made. Truck gardening and dairying, which were profitable only within three miles of the principal market town of the county before the road improvement, are now carried on profitably within a seven-mile radius. In Lee county, Virginia, a considerable industry has been built up following the road improvements in the shipment of tan bark, extract wood, and pulp wood, products which could not be profitably hauled over the unimproved roads. The improved highway system has at- , traded buyers of farm products who travel from farm to farm and furnish a new cash market for the farmers. There has been a 25 per cent increase in buggies sold by a county vehicle factory. In Wise county, Virginia, social conditions have been bettered since the good roads were constructed, many farmers along the improved highways having built new homes or improved old ones, adding sanitary conveniences. School attendance has increased materially, but since compulsory attendance regulations went into effect about the time the improved roads were completed, the influence of the two factors could not be determined separately. Several school consolidations have been made. Auto registrations in Franklin county, New York, increased from 371 before the road improvement in 1912 to 853 after road improvement in 1914, and two automobile bus lines connecting distant towns in the county were established as soon as the improved roads were opened. There has been a notable stimulation of dairying and general diversification on the farms of Dallas county, Alabama, since the improvement of the roads of that county. In the section of Lauderdale county, Mississippi, where most of the roads have been Improved, the school attendance increased from 72 per cent of the enrollment in 1912, just after the road work started, to 81 per cent in 1913 after the completion of the work. Several school consolidations have been effected. In Manatee county, Florida, which produces chiefly fruits and vegetables, these products could not be hauled over the sandy roads before the improvement was made, except at prohibitive cost. In the one year, 1912-13, following the completion of the good roads, the area in vegetables increased about 1,500 acres. The products of the county, the stndy shows, are now hauled to railway pointe milch more cheaply than formerly.—United States Department of Agriculture.

Cabo-Rojo, Porto Rico, has a confectioners' union affiliated with the labor movement of this country. The wastage of a great hotel is indicated by the statement made by the manager of one of the leading institutions of the kind, who says that the purchases of food amounted to 550,000 pounds a month and that 168,000 pounds of this were thrown away after having been served to patrons. Gus Lieber of Jamestown, North Dakota, went alone to St. Paul to select a wedding trousseau for his daughter. “You can’t trust women in these matters,” Lieber said. “I came down to make sure my daughter obtains a good trousseau. My wife never purchased any of her own clothing. Neither has my daughter.”

THAT KNIFE-LIKE PAIN Is Only One of Nature’s Warnings of Weak or Disordered Kidneys. Have you a lame back, aching day and night? Do you feel sharp pains after stooping? Are the kidneys sore? Is their action irregular? Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—-the medicine recommended by so many Rensselaer people. Read this case: Mrs. R. W. Burris, Rensselaer, says: “I was suffering from a steady ache in my back and could hardly move without having knifelike .pains shoot through my kidneys. When I went to stoop over to tie my shoes or get up out of a chair, that pain caught me. My head ached and I felt nervous and tired out. I was often so dizzy that I could hardly stand. My kidneys acted too often and caused me much distress. I used several boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they put me in good shape.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Burris had Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.
