Impossible combination that it is
commercialism or patriotism, implying
that the commercial spirit is essential

diametrically opposed to patriotism,

JSND OF A RED NOSE
New Flesh-Colored Product That Heals
and Hides Skin Imperfections.
A peculiar feature of poslarn, a new
skin discovery, is that it is naturally
flesh-colorc and contains no grease,
so that when used on the face for the
complexion, or for pimples, red noses,
or any other inflammations, blemish
es, or discolorations, its presence can
not be detected. It can "'JUS be ap
plied in the daytime, tte natural color
of the skin being immediately restored
and .the actual heallrg and curing
process accomplished in a few days.
It can be had of any pharmacist who
sells pure drugs. Wilkinson & Co.
make a specialty of it. Fifty cents'
worth will answer either for the trou
bles mentioned or in curing ordinary
cases of eczema. Itching stops at
once.
The Emergency Laboratories, No.
32 West Twenty-fifth street, New
York, are the sole dispensing agents
for poslam in the United States, and
will send an experimental quantity
by mail in plain wrapper to all who
write fo- it. This will show results
after an over-night application.

In the profession of law, in the
former days, court proceedings were
the order In evidence. It was the end
and aim of a majority of those engag-1
ed in the legal profession to get up a
cause for a case and the case into,
court. In the county-seat centers, so!
far as the general public was concern-1
ed, the ablest lawyer was he. who
could make the best stump-speech be-'
fore twelve patriarchs and to thej
crowds in the courtroom. Then, to
win out, in court, at any cost—this
sKSefc*'
was the client's charge. How many
times have changed. Now it is thej
primal business of the leading law
yers, office-attorneys largely, so to
make contracts and close deals, so
that the business Interests concerned
may be within the law rather than up
against the law. To win in, out of
court, at minimum cost—this Is the
evolution that has taken place in the
client's charge. This is the evident
evolution that has taken place in the
business and professional world. It
is sixteen to one, from curative to pre
ventive.
In the financial world a similar evo
lution is taking place. We are turn
ing our attention from the merely al
leviative treatment of panics and
other financial diseases to processes
preventative of the causes of these
diseases.
In the realm of religion, a realm all
inclusive, and in the realm of moral
reform, the .same evolutionary pro
cesses have been in progress, and the
same proportionate betterment and
benefit have resulted. To say noth-
