' — ... .. ~ A year is made up of 313 working days, each made up in turn of twentyfour hours, half of which a man must waste sleeping and eating. This leaves 3,756 hours each year in which to boost your meal ticket. The average man ought to work thirty years, or 111,680 hours. As a matter of rec- 1 ord he only put in about two-thirds that much time, and even this he does half-heartedly. Looking at it this way, about the ' most precious thing on the market seems to be TIME —plain, old-fashion-ed time, which we complain so much I about hanging- heavily on our hands. The trick in making the most of your time is worth learning. Old men, ' with long, flowing, gray beards, and records of accomplishment equally long, say that it consists in first work-* ifig out the BLUEPRINTS before you begin laying brick. Then you can get the best results by laying a respectable amount of brick EACH HOUR. If j you adopt this plan, the finished edi- ■ flee will take care of itself.

All he lias to know is how to ’ keep going, without ever asking his taskmaster WHY. He is satisfied with I a bowl of weak porridge—some menj talities are so constructed. Others with the divine spark of amI bition driving them like a consuming I passion, seek to push their menu into 1 the table d'hote class. It is a worthy aim, and if he can manage to provide an occasional planked porterhouse, i with a little out-of-season garnish on !
