STUDIES Olj GREAT MEN.
Someone has asked why it is that
there are fewer great men than times
past.
Men are only great by contrast.
All men are born equal, but the dif
ference is a matter of development.
Men are developed by the condition
thOy face, by the problems they solve.
Man does not select the conditions
or problems, but the conditions and
problems seeming select the man.
Nature, in the working out of her
program, seems to single out her
agents in strange ways and from
strange places.
Thomas Jefferson, for instance, was
not chosen to draft the Declaration of
Independence-, because he was -a law
yer, nor because he was rich, nor a
member of the first family of his time,
nor that he was believed to possess
any particular knowledge of the prin
ciples of government.
Jefferson Was selected to draft the
Declaration of Independence simply
because he wrote a good hand.
His penmanship simply gave him
the power to prove his further ability
to conceive and formulate the demo
cratic principles of this document.
Obviously, in doing the first task
well, there were other awaiting him
and to his final greatness as a his
toric character. ,
When Benjamin Franklin came up
the stret on his first arrival in Phil
adelphia, a girj standing fn a doorway
laughed at his uncouth appearance;
and as one of his later biographers
put it, afterwards got even with her —
by marrying her.
Franklin lived at the beginning of
times democratic in this world, he
found much to do in the way of in
vention, discovery and organization,
and he did it all with industry, good
temper, all in a high sense of public
duty and to his everlasting memory.
No man wag ever born humbler
than Abraham Lincoln.
At the height of his career, no man
was ever clothed with more Individ*
ual power in ruling over a race or
nation.
His very high place in history is by
reason of fact that am eng men with
absolute powei*, but used it in the
cause of justice.
General Grant* in the very begin
ning of his autobiography says: “a
man proposes, and God disposes!"
He had reason to know that this
law is absolutely operative; for in
1866, Just five years before the open
ing of the principal events of his life,
he was unloading cord wood from a
farm wagon before an obscure house
in an obscure stret in St. Louis,
At this time he was a broken and
discouraged man because he was un
able to secure a position as a teacher
of mathematics in some college.
DEFINITENESS OF ADVERTISING.
Here and there one flndH a mer
chant who says he has tried advertis
ing but never made it pay. The chan
ces are ten to one that he simply
needs to study definiteness.
The principle of the specific fac*!
and tho specific* instances, affect all
writing and speaking. They make
one man's advertising a partial fail
ure while another's is a money getter.
If one ratn visits a strange city, he
comes back talking something like
this: "It was fine, grand, splendid."
His talk evaporates into, vague, gen
eral phrases. The people that hear
him talk know no more about the
city than before. He “has few listen
ers. whatever his subject of conver
sation may be.
Another man remarks about tho
same town, that it is full of buildings*
twenty stories high, that the streets
were so crowded he had ti wait ten
minutes at one cross walk to get over
and that people were always in a hur
ry and the street railway conductors
always said "Step lively!"
After such a man has talked a few
moments you get some idea about
the place he describes. You see it
with your own eyes.
Every man who ever made a suc
cess as a newspaper writer ha*
ed thta you must give personal Inci
dent aud actual happenings to make
any kind of news article interesting,
if the reader can't se the thing with
his own eyes, the copy won't sell.
Just the same in advertising. If
you merely say slock in town”
the reader may or may not believe
you. Try picking out the best values
in your store, give a few detail* about
-them so ttic purchaser can set some
idea what they are. then name the
price. The reader then sees the bar
gain with his own eyes, is interested
i and feel* a desire to buy.
That la all there is to good adver

HIS GREAT EXAMPLE. \
There was a man who once went up
anti down the dusty roads and in the
field and along the lake shores of Gal
lilee, who taught the simple every
day duties of man to himself, to his
neighbors and to his God.
There is no record anywhere that
states that he was unusually eloquent
or that he had any of the tricks of the
orator, yet thousands flocked to hear
him, because, as- the record does say,
“He spoke as one having authority.”
It is hard for us at this day to con
nive of the simplicity of the life that
the Man that lived while on earth.
Indeed, it is hard for us to really and
certainly believe that he lived at all,
a common man, living and speaking
ag did the common poeple of that day.
But with all this difficulty in believ
ing in the reality of the birth, life and
.death of the Man, we have the proof
in our own souls and in all history
that he did live, that he taught and
that he died. There is no need to sub
mit proof of it all.
He taught a simple people in a sim
ple way, yet his teachings have sur
vived the wrecks of the ages and have
more and more effect on the lives of
men as the years go by.
The difficulty is that we have added
so much to what he taught. We have
interpreted what he said in so many
different ways, to suit ourselves.. We
h"ve looked rather to what he said
than the way he lived.
Yet after all it was the life the Man
lived that has really conquered the
world, not so much what he said nor
so much what his early followers said
that he said.
His life taught us that In all the
temptations that assail us, in all the
troublous way we are called to travel
we may, if we will but follow his ex
ample, live a life which we ourselves
will approve, which the world at large
will approve an dwhich. we may be
lieve, will receive the final approv
al of the Supreme Judge of all.
And it is all so simple. There need
be no great emotion about it. There
may be no great grieving for the
failures, Just a living day by day with
out fear and in every confidence that
the getting up after a fall brings one
bearer to the goal. We need no cere
r.i-cnies, we need no gatherings, we
need nothing but the simple, yet ear
nest determination to follow the ex
ample of the Man.
AT TH€IR DEBKB AGAIN.
In practically every city, town and
village In Georgia the slogan Is "‘Hack
to School,” and thousands of boys
and girls are taking up f helr books
again after a long vacation. It is a
notable period with the average child
It should be with every one —the
r opening of school for anew term.
Each year sees the number
ed In Georgia as a whole, tor ugh ii
mme counties it must be admit’od
t'icro is ocslonally ,i dacteaso. The
trend, however, is uwards decreas
ing tho percentage of children who
are not enrolled. That is a good sign
for the sta'cg future, and another
equally ar good is that the school
houses are bieng improved from year
'o year. It has not been very long
since a large per cent of sc hool build
ings outside the larger towns and
Itiea were unkempt, ramshackle, un
sanitary affairs in which children
could hardly be expected to study
with avidity and made good scholar
ship records .
But in Ihe last few years the old
ruins that had served as school build
ings have been disuppearing, to make
rom for clean.' healthful, handsome
houses, not large and not costly in
many instances, but well lighted, |
comfortable and sanitary, with the re
sult that the health of children and
teachers has been better and the
scholarship records much improved.
It is a flue army of boys and girls
that will be mobilised during the next
few weeks in school room compan
ies. school house regiments and coun
y brigades to form the Georgia grand
army, armed with books and slates
I nd pencils for the fight on ignor
ance. How much more worth while
Is this mobilisation than the gather
ing of men under arms to provide
“food for cannon.’’ The teachers who
will command the Georgia army are
more for the race than an equal
number of officers the fighting arm
ies of Europe,

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS,
To help promote good
health see that the articles
you use in your bakings
give you—
Food containing glu
ten which is vital to
your vitality.
Gluten is the soul of
flour—the real nutritive
element. It is gluten that .
builds health, strength, and
bone tissues and makes ro
bust children and healthy men
and women.
Why take a chance
on losing the full value
of this gluten. Good, whole
some bakings can be made
only from good materials 4 —no
other way—so use only good
baking powder and plain flour
for best results.
Don’ t use substitutes such
as self rising flour, Cake
Mixes, and Egg Savers (so
called).
The safe course which is
pointed out to the family phy
sician is to recommend pure plain
flour and a baking powder of stand
ard quality, and to be especially
watchful in all cases of malnutrition
to be sure the diet carries strength
giving properties.
