By Ella Wheeler Wilcox Copyright 1914, by Star Company THE WISEST MAN | i 9 MUCH men study, and much men write; And more men utter, and little men know. But the wisest man looks IN for his light And sees for himself where the path should go. And the path should go through the forest of faith And blaze its trail to the brink of death. Many the rules that wise men give, To make us see what is right and wrong; But the wisest man is the one who will live By the law of love as he goes along ' And he goes along through an endless May, Though Winter Is rampant, who lives this way. Many the names the Great One wears: "Om," and "Logos," and "Holy Ghost"; But the wisest man is the one who cares Least for titles and loves the most. And he loves the most whose heart' is aflame For the Mighty Maker who has no name. Many the creeds that wise men make, Bused on "Mus'n't" and towered with "Must"; But the wisest man is the one who will take A simple religion of love and trust, For love and trust will carry men through Whatever the Fates or the Furies do. Ii The aim of the |\'ew York Institute [for Psychical Re search is TRUTH not cold material truth, but that which brings mental and spiritual un foldment. For four years we have met monthly, holding to no creed, but as individuals, men and women of 'pure, unb i a sed [minds, seeking true manifestati on s of '' mm or tality and eoul-communion. We have had many remarkable demonstrations when we have felt the silent, subtle, inspiring truth of the oneness and universal harmony of all souls. Our meetings are open to all who can bring with them—and attract— goodness, sweetness and love of na ture and God. In this way wo have shown many hundreds of aching hearts, young and old, the path to peace and LIFE. H. SPENCER LEWIS. The letter quoted above was writ ten in reply to a query about the aim and methods of the New York Insti tute for Phychical Research. Much is said and written in these clays of the ungodly and unspirltual state of humanity. A missionary of Africa who has been absent from America a score of years recently exhausted his vo cabulary of uncomplimentary phrases regarding the material and unholy condition of the American people. We had all gone mad, ho said, over tall structures and fast speeding ve hicles. He believed the simple savages were more spiritual minded than we, j despite our lofty church spires and costly edifices of worship. It has be come the fashion to talk in this way. Yet NEVER WAS THERE SUCH A SPIRITUAL AGE AS THIS BE- i FORE, AND NEVER WERE THERE ! ON EARTH AT ONE TIME SO MANY PEOPLE SEEKING GOD AND L O N G I N G FOR INDIVIDUAL KNOWLEDGE OV HIM AS NOW. Still more wonderful Is this fact: THE GREATEST NUMBER OF EARNEST INTELLECTUAL SEEK ERS FOR A WORTHY GOD ARE IN AMERICA. In the Oriental lands there are wise seers and adepts, men who have given their entire lives to the study of occult truths. But their wisdom has done little for the masses, for those masses are bound by superstition. Superstition which includes the blood offerings of fowls and animals at certain holy fes tivals and the perpetuation of vermin and Insects to propitiate the gods is not spirituality. India is honeycombed with such superstition. Yet the greatest knowl edge of high spiritual truths is to be found in the old religions of India Ilium ■ I liHlillillmMlM 111 HBB3ggaaM—BBBB—HPtMB——BB—3 ' Woman Is As Old As She Looks No woman wants to look old.

But in Am erica, while we have fewer masters and adepts, we have many more in telligent and educated people who are breaking away from old traditions and are earnestly and patiently seeking for KNOWLEDGE OF IMMORTAL ITY. In many of the tall structures, which are so often spoken of as a symbol of our ungodly ambitions, are rooms where weekly meetings are held for just such purposes as the let ter above describes. The president of this society says: "Our meetings, held in our lodge rooms, are marked by dignity and a pervading spirit of sacredness. Great and lowly men and women alike find ihere the universality of mind, and we abide, for the brief time of each meet ing at least, in the spirit of love and ' goodness, touched by souls that have I gone on and upward. "We differ from the London Psychic Society and other scientific (material) bodies, inasmuch as we do not seek material evidence, either solely or primarily, and also In that we are an open body—free to all. | "We have found much fraud and | exposed it; we have found great truths j and glorified them." I This is but one of innumerable so icieties all over our land organized for similar purposes—the purpose of find ing spiritual illumination, to aid hu manity in this life and to give it larger encouragement to look forward to the next sphere of existence with hope and joy. Surely we need not call this age a material or an ungodly one. We are In the dawn of the most wonderful spiritual era of the world. And Am erica will be the center of the new golden age. Quite recently nearly seventy people gave a whole afternoon to the discus sion and thought of matters spiritual and benevolent. Those people were of ages ranging from twenty to sev enty, and they represented intellect, fashion and toil. There were men of power, women of high social position, people who had achieved things in many lines of endeavor, and others who lived more humble and obscure lives. During that whole afternoon the room where they congregated seemed to be aUght with the pure flames of unselflsnnes and love of the Creator and humanity. No thought that was selfish, mer cenary, base or unkind could have lived in that atmosphere. Such meetings must give a new im petus to right thinking and right con duct. Such companies of individuals may be found in the heart of our great cities all over the land. The people who compose them go forth to work, to make money, to attend social func tions, to dance and to amuse them selves in the world of men, but the whole tenor of their lives is benefited and their impulses are elevated by these meetings. Concerted thought on any subject is a mighty power. Passing Impressions of Finance By Louis Guenther Edition of the Financial World Psychology plays a great part In In fluencing speculation. For the truth of this statement witness the rapid rise through which General Motors stock passed during the past week. Much of the enthusiasm the public has evinced towards this company's shares, as well as some of the other motor stocks, is traceable to Henry Ford's unusual generosity in setting aside a fund of $10,000,000 for distribution among his employes. As for the public, it Is always ready to see the effect; the causes leading to It receive scant attention. If Henry Ford is able to make from ten to twenty millions annually in manufac turing cheap cars, then the public hastily reasons that other makers will be able to duplicate his success; so why not buy the automobile shares? But because one may make money, it does not prove that every one else in a similar business can conduct it with like success. According to reports, General Mo tors, which Is also a maker of cheap cars, and Is one of the few automo bile companies with which the depart ed J. P. Morgan had anything to do, has had an excellent year and made big prollts. Nevertheless, this fact fails to assure for a certainty dlvi | clends on its common shares. Before I the company can begin such disburse ments It will first have to pay off about $10,000,000 in notes, due this year and In 1916. Yet, that escapes the specu lator's notice; he buys blindly, because the stock is ascending in price, and he wants to get some before the ad vance stops. The security market is under wraps. The delay in the rate decision by the Inter-State Commerce Commission has chilled speculative enthusiasm which could not be awakened from its lethargy even by later assurances that this all-important problem for the railroads would be decided one 'way or the other before June next. The Commerce Commission is a quasi-judicial tribunal in Its relations to the operation of the railroads. It must, in all fairness, hear witnesses from both sides. Not all the shippers have had a hearing, nor have the rail roads submitted their whole case. Con sequently, the commission cannot go off half-cocked in determining wheth er the roads ought to get more for the service they sell. The question of higher railroad rates is a most vital one for the roads. If they can get what they are after, I venture the opinion that forthwith their earnings statements will show a healthier margin in excess of their fix ed charges. They need It, too, for they face the necessity, which they cannot shirk, of raising a great deal of fresh capital. In this connection, I have had the opportunity to dig into some railroad statistics with the idea In view of de termining whether our leading roads are not expanding too fast. For this purpose, I took fifteen of the main transportation systems and studied JAPANESE BLOUSE SMART FOR SPRING Transparent Materials Put Over Quite Fancy Linings Are Stylish 8164 Fancy Blouse, 34 to 44 bust.

The finish of frills over the hands and at the neck and front is dainty and generally becoming. If a more elaborate effect is wanted, the trim ming can be arranged over a lining, which properly would be cut exactly like the outside, and often colored ribbon and lace banding are used most effectively beneath the transparent material. If silk or other heavier material ia used for the making, it can be embroidered or trimmed with insets or treated in any similar way.

Members of the senior class of the Dlllsburg High School are preparing to present the play, entitled "The Bachelors' | Congress.'' They are being 1 rained by the assistant principal, Miss Myrtle Mayberry. No date has been fixed as I vet. Babrisburg TELEGRAPH their growth during the last four years, and what It has cost them to finance it. Here are some Interesting conclu sions: In increased mileage these roads have added 8,866 miles, during the four years, and in the same period they have created new obligations of $1,186,812,948, Including stock and bonds, while their gross earnings have grown $338,938,681. Reducing these startling figures to a percentage basis, I find it has cost these roads on an average of $132,980 to build each mile of new track, and between three and four dollars for every dollar of new business. Naturally, these figures raise the point that the roads are either not receiving enough money for their work, or that they are paying out too much to get new business. At least it is certain that no business man, or manufacturer, could stand such heavy expenditures and remain solvent Convertible bondholders are up in arms over the division Union Pacific has decided to make of Its Baltimore & Ohio stock among its common shareholders. They claim it is a dis tribution of the company's assets, while the company contends it comes from the surplus. But the convertible bondholders have good grounds to feel as they do, even if their position is one that legal recourse cannot re lieve. When they bought the bonds they purchased them as a speculative opportunity in addition to a safe in vestment. But with the Baltimore & Ohio stock dividend off of the stock, it re duces the market value of Union Pa cific around $29, and that is putting the stock Just S2B further away from the conversion price. That is to say, Union Pacific would have to make up this gap before it could get within the proper zone of conversion on which the conversion bonds were fixed. The deal made by the American 'Telephone & Telegraph for the sale of its $30,000,000 Western Union stock to ill underwriting syndicate, as ordered by the Government, turns out more to the advantage of the minority shareholders oC the Telegraph Com pany, for they get stock around $63 a share which cost the American Tele phone and Telegraph nearly $75. For this the shareholders have to thank the Government. The underwriting was extremely popular, and subscrip tions ran considerably in excess of the fund required to swing the large deal. The Rock Island security-holders are on the fence. Nothing of an offi cial nature has been published which throws light upon the character of the reorganization. There is some talk that the preferred and common stock will be assessed, as tho company will need nearly $20,000,000, but how much cannot be told. The fate or the dis position of the collateral bonds is clouded in darkness, and those who hold them cannot tell for at least a few weeks to come whether they are to receive their collateral, consisting have to suffer from some financial am i putation. Madame Ise'bell Gives Reducing Diet That Will Not Harm Health or Beauty LE3SON XII—PART V. Obesity (Continued). The diet that goes under the name of "Banting" which I gave in last article will reduce the most stubborn cases of obesity three to five pounds a week, whether physical exercises are included in the regime or not. But there arc cer tain disadvantages in adopting so rigor* ous a diet Disadvantages of Banting. For perfect health a more varied diet Is necessary; the system needs some starch and sugar and a considerable amount of fat. Women who undergo the banting system are apt to emerge with sallow, dry, wrinkled skin. They look, as they are. undernourished. The diet I recommend is less strenuous and to get good effects should be accompanied b* at least one-half hour's daily work at specific exercises that I shall give yon later and a certain amount of walking or vigorous outdoor work. Madame Ise'bell's Reducing Diet.
