The popular Idea of h tonic Is well expressed In tho following definition, which wo tlnd In tin* National Medical Dictionary "An agent which augments gradually and pcnnniicully the strength ami vital activity of tin* body or Its parts."

Ilolh male and female worms break up Into lu- iiiiinorado friigUMMits, and the eggs are fertilized hi the water. The coming of the palolo Is regulated by the moon, and yet, strange lo say, in the long run It keeps solar time. If the dales of its appearances were separated by twelve liiunr months, then, reckoning by the day of tile moil I li, it would lie eleven days earlier each year. On the other hand, if It came every thirteen months It would h« eighteen days Inter each year.

Some time ago In aii artlele telling of the opening of a new hospital In New York the writer was made to state that “mi ox tensive view is presented from the fourth story of the Hudson river." The omission of n comma In a paper announcing the den Hi of a famous man made the sentence read, "Ills remains were committed to that bourne whence no traveler returns attended by his friends." The reputm on of Dr. Bond, an emi nent theolog.au, was nearly ruined buck in the tlflles of the last century by a typographical error. A paper came out with an account tolling*how tlm divine had given a series of lee tures In Bangor, Me., to tile effect that theology was no science and that there was no truth in It whatever. The world rose In arms, and the unfortu nate Bond was heaped with abuse as being a gross tiitidel. In time the pa per in which the llrxt account appeared printed a paragraph acknowledging that the excitement was all caused by a typographical mistake, tin* tgposottor having used the word theology lustead of phrenology. lion An linn la lieur I’nln.

The statement, of course, is not true If It he taken literally There are certainly many humlre I. perhaps thousands, of hooks flint con tain original thoughts or experiences that an* truly valuable; hilt, generally speaking, the best part of nil that has been written is to Im found In a few volumes. To understand how this Is possible we must remember that near lj all rules are the same ns other and simpler rules. In arithmetic, for ex ample, the whole science consists of only four simple ways of treating num bers. \Ve can add, subtract, multiply anil divide, nnd that Is all we can do to numbers. The rest of the book Is only the working out of these four rules; thus all of the arithmetic could easily he put Into n little page that one could carry In the vest pocket. All behavior, all right living, is also set forth in a few simple laws. These lllnsirations will show vvlint Is meant by saying that nil literature Is contain ed in ii few great hooks.

Ask any farmer who uses a Studebaker farm wagon and he will tell you that it has cost him less for repairs and has given him longer service than any other wagon he ever owned. The Studebakers are the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world; they get first pick of materials; have unusual facilities; their more than fifty.years experi ence has shown them how to build the best vehicle on earth. These reasons have put Studebaker Vehicles and Harness in the front rank. Exceptional materials, exceptional facilities, exceptional experi ence, exceptional skill, produce exceptional goods. Yon don't buy a wagon or car riage or a set of harness very often. Why not be sure you are getting the best?
