Fut the advertising must grow, in volume, in liberality, in quality, faster than the store Itself grows. This is true because the store must keep pace with the advertising, or within hailing distance of it. It never does quite "catch up" anymore than the cars of a train overtake the engine. And exactly as the engine "pulls the train along, so tha advertising "pulls the store along. To pursue the comparison. It requires a bigger engine to pull a thirty-car train than it does to pull a ten car train. And it takes more advertising to "pull" a "hundredclerk store" than it does to pull a ten -clerk one. The train will not make much progress on the days that the engine Is not running; but it will make just as good progress on those days as well as will a store on the days when the advertising is not running. Your advertising is "adequate" when it is strong enough to pull the store along after It; ana witen i: is running on every day taat ycu des.'re ta seek business and to In crease trade.

This action was a deliberate repudia tion either of Mrs. Eddy's authority, never questioned before, or of author ity which is being exercised in her name. Believe Condition Ia Known. - Close students of the remarkable sit uation insist that Mrs. Stetson, the foremost figure in Christian Science, next to Mrs. Eddy herself, would not have, ventured upon this daring move but for her accurate knowledge of the aged leader's true condition.

Stetson Seeks Succession. In formation in the hands of the Christian . Science leaders In Boston leaves no doubt that Mrs. Stetson's purpose is to succeed Mrs. Eddy in supreme authority in the church. Failing in this she will build up a new Christian Science establishment upon the broad foundations which her ge nius has already laid in New York. The new church in Riverside drive is a detail in this plan and will be managed by an advisory board under the chairmanship of Mrs. Stetson.

It plowed along for four car lengths, ripnine uo the stone curbing on Gostlin street and tearing up the pipes andt wires of the "Western Indiana interlocking system. THEY WERE THE OXLY ONES.

They were nowhere to be found. It then dawned upon tnem that they had been the only passengers on a runaway car. The car got away from its crew at the substation at East Chicago. For some reason or other the car would not go. The motorman left his post and went outside of the car to see if he could locate the danger. He was followed by the conductor. Suddenly, without warning, the car started and it was oft so quickly that the crew did not have an opportunity to board it.

At the Hohman street crossing the car narrowly escaped striking one of the cars of the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago line, which was crossing the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend tracks at the time. George Lee, who is employed as a watchman at the plant of the Indiana Steel company at Gary, lives at the end of the car line, and was waiting for the first car for Gary. He saw the car approach the end of the line at full speed and without a motorman, and saw, the wreck from start to finish. He says the car came towards him like a shot out of a gun, and he was horrified when he noticed that there were two passengers in the car and that a wreck was certain. The car which ran away was No. 10, one of the large interurban coaches. It was in charge of Conductor F. B. Rinerson and Motorman O. M. Kahl. The two passengers were brothers and were Marcella and John Gerometta, who were on their way from Gary to Chicago. O. M. Ruggles was one of the wit nesses of the wreck. He says that it is remarkable that the passengers were not killed, considering the fact that the car was going at an estimated rate of 70 miles an hour. After running off the end of the tiack the car plowed through seventy five feet of frozen ground. It ripped the rails on the Chicago Junction cross

WILL ASK FOR REFORMS

LAKE COUNTY CIVIC BODIES INTERESTED IN COMINQ UEGISUATURC

The members of the Business Men's Associations in La.ce county are very much interested in the platform of the Indianapolis Merchant's association which calls upon the state legislature to put through certain reform measures. Chief among the things to be consid ered by the legislators will be the plat form of the Indianapolis Merchant's association, -which includes the follow ing proposed laws: L A universal system of bookkeeping in all the counties of the state. 2. Requiring the governor to have stated examinations made of the books of every county, township and city. 3. Requiring the county auditor to audit before' making settlements. 4. Paying the county commissioners appropriate salaries and requiring them to give bond. 5. Requiring the county auditor to give "a more adequate bond. 6. Cutting off extra allowances to public officers. use of two section gangs to repair it so that traffic could be restored. It then went several hundred feet father and finally came to a standstill in a partly turned over position. The witnesses say, that although the foreigners were bruised they seemed more concerned about locating the conductor and finding out why they had been carried past their destination. Inquisitiveness Rebuked. An Elizabeth man chased from his house with a shotgun tb doctor who proposed to hold an autopsy on the body of the citizen's wife for gratification of scientific curiosity. There will be no tendency to blame him. The Paul Pry with a scalpel Is annoyingly inquisitive. Cause for Anger. Because a neighbor lured away his excellent cook a Jersey man is building a spite fence between his house and that of his fortunate rival. Probably he doesn't want to see how happy the other fellow is. The Peril of Reformers. Many a reformer perishes In the removal of rubbish and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; In the assault on the kingdom of darkness they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit. R. W.
