S. D. Wdl don. who, with R. D. Cliapin, of this city, constitutes the good roads commit tee of the National Automobile Cham ber of Commerce, and who is on.? of the best known men in rlie automobile industry, in answer to the hundreds of questions which he has received with reference to the beat route for trans continental touring, issued a statement here which sums up the experience ho has gabied iu his years of touring. He has crossed the country over every practical route and more Man a doaen times. Wald on said: "Tourists desiring the shortest and best transcontinental route, during the summer months, should by all means follow the adopted route of the Lincoln Highway. "The Lincoln Highway is" not the only route across the continent. There are other routes, both north and south; •ach of them has its talking points and its ardent advocates. Every route will at some season of the year present diffi culties. Routes farther north than the Lincoln (Highway do not dry up so early in the spring and cannot be traveled so late in the fall. Routes farther south become excessively hot in mid-summer, and in early spring and late fall are affected by the freshets from further north, as well as local storms. ''The transcontinental tourist mak ing the trip for the first time may un questionably think, at some point in his journey, that any other road would be better than the one he happened to be on. On the Lincoln Highway, no matter wha+ the emergency, he gihould remember that the route, as selected, has been ehoesn after driving every al ternative route, ami, no matter what temporary difficulties, he may encounter —that the Lineoin Highway is the best. "The transcontineatal tourist should bdhere strictly to the route of tihe Lin coln Highway and particularly if ho is making the trip for the first time. Transcontinental drivers who are thor oughly seasoned may make as many variations in their route as they desiro, but all of the States through which the Lincoln Highway (Kisses have done so roirch in co-operating with the Lincoln Highway Association in the further im provement of whait was the best road when selected that there should be no excuse fo>/ deviation on the part of the tourist looking to the shortest route and desiring to comtoine in his trip flie greatest freedom from trouble and the maximum opportunity to enjoy the nov cit yand beauty as she goes.''

Text, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat brend."—Oeu. 111, 18. My friend Gray is ouu of the un happicst fellows 1 know. Lie com plains that fate has played on him u contemptible trick iu that It bus made him work for a living. "Work and slave for board and clothes, and not the boat of either. Blink off early in the morning, drag lionie weary ut night. Bnmn goes to town at 0 o'clock lu his ear, fools around till noon talk ing to his stenographer, goes to lunch, leans hack In Ills chair till 3. motors out to the ball game, after dinner plays billards at his club till midnight. Where's the Justice In all that? Yes. sir, fate duals me a hand with no trumps and few face cards. With Brown th* cards are stacked and it's always his deal." Poor Gray! I know him. He isn't a bud fellow. In spite of his card phraseology he never touches one. He Is sticking pretty close to his job and is really doing belter than he thinks. He is raising his family and has his little house nearly paid for. He is eating homely wholesome bread, and Brown seems to be having lots of cake. There's Gray's trouble—he's hungry for cake. So are most of us. But better a diet of all bread und no cake than •11 cake and no bread—there's a reason. It's part of the wise plan of the Al mighty Father for bis children. Bwat the Idler! Adam fell. The first step in the plan of salvation was to put Adam to work. The kingdom of enrth and the kingdom of heaven are easier to a busy man than to an idle ono. An boon as Adam had to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow the world commenced to a<l vance. The fellow who earna his by the sweat of his neighbor's mental or physical brow Is a parasite. Time is going to awat him. Only those whose name* are on the world'a payrolls •hall bear the voice of eternity say, "Well done, thou good and fulthful rervant." The Bible is the charter ot the toiler. Adam was a gardener, Ja cob a drover, Moses a shepherd, Elisha a plowman. Gideon a miller, Saul a hostler. Jesns a carpenter, Peter a fish erman, Zacchaeus a tax collector, Si mon a tanner, Paul a tentninker—space falls me to tell of the noble band ot men and women—tollers all. Work makes men; Idleness mur* them. Man cannot have fiber put into him except by the strain of toil. It is discipline; It is moral exercise; it 1h to the hu man frame what the wind and storm are to the pine on the mountain side- II develops and toughens and strength ens. Without work man would be a tlabby excrescence. The sloth doesn t live; he exlats. Work is man's affinity to nature. It Is man's natural expres sion of btrnself in some form of effect. Man, the Toiler. Man is (he coworker with God. Whether It Ik plain dirt dicing. n "' l pounding. floor •crabbing— bo called bumble toll—or earth, air aud water mastering, bridge, nnd tunnel planning, art. music, literature and science, it matters not. God fashioned the earth; Are melted the rocks; frost split the granite; the rain dissolved the soil; earth, air, sun and moisture sprouted the seed. Then maD took perfume from the flower, put. commerce on the sea, turned the sweetbrler into the rose, the crab appje into the pippin, developed the grasses into vegetables, improved the bird of the air and the beast of the field. He touched the forests and the.v became beams of houses iind masts of ships; the clay be came a drinking cup and the dust a cement, the marble n statue, the ore a mighty monster of iron and steel. He draws lightning from the skies, puts bands of steel serosa a continent, whis pers his voice across a sea. He pre serves the song and the Bpeech in rec ords for posterity. He reels off the dims that will tell to eyes not bom the movements of men and things that will long since have been dust. All that man owns he has dug out of the physi cal world. Out from the molecules of his brain and the tool chest of his hand have come things worthy of th« sons of the architect of the universe. Much Bread, Little Caks. The "curse" hack in Eden was s blessing In disguise. Out of it has come something that lifts man to his highest. Angels could do no more. He is "cursed" who cannot work. The man without a country wasn't near so pitiable as the man without work. I wouldn't want to be sentenced to a year without purposeful work, it would spell Insanity, as it does In mis. governed prisons. Well, then, what makes ns dislike work? If It Is essen tial to development, progress, disci pline. health, contentment, prosperity and happiness why do so many hate it so heartily? Because. American-like, we overdo It. It becomes a drudgery and a worry. Too much work Is bad rot quite as bad as no work, hut harm ful. When it is so incessant and ex hausting that it crowds out domestic joy. outdoor sport, friendly intercourse, intellectual refreshment and religious meditation It is a bane instead of bless ing. When we carry it into our sleep It Is time to drop some of it. One ex treme breeds another. Some day vi will travel In the middle of the road. Human society Is Imperfect, and m» friend Gray has nothing but coarse bread. I'm afraid Brown has all cake. Society frequently compels each to eat to satiety. Gray naturally hungers foi cake. Brown Is sickening on the same. I would rather be tbe former. Bettel wear ont than rnst out "Time flies." quoted the sage. "Yes." replied the fool.
