Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER

GETTING RESULTS TD Y LEA UNI NO things rather than - words, observing closely how things are done to produce results, keeping In Intimate touch 'With Improved methods, making careful mental nnalvKis of the failure or the success of others, and applying the practical Information thus gained, ought to be the dominating purpose of every man or woman who earnestly desires to get out of and nway from the packed and beaten roads. To think along the same groove day after day and possibly using the same unproductive . form of reasoning, grown threadbare by frequent handling, contracts the mind arid weakens It. If you do not go afield among new thoughts, you can never hope to create new things. If you fail to lay hold of the forces within you, and thus become a part

Sense

By JOHN BLAKE

INSPIRATION

A HECKNT Sunday newspaper printed a picture of the head of one of New York's biggest banks. II was in a baseball uniform, and but for a mustache an ornament now discarded by ball players looked like a professional. The picture was taken at an outing of the Bond club. The banker served as pitcher for the New York (team. The type below recited the fact that he got his first job In an Albany bank because he was a crack ball player, applied himself to banking as eagerly as he had applied hlmeelf to baseball, and in a few years rwas well on his way to his present position. It is needless to say that this particular baseball player didn't put all he had Into the game. He was tin.usually gifted as a pitcher, and might easily have got Into one of the big leagues, too. But he had the good sense to know that baseball was not a steady business, and that banking was. And instead o seizing an opportunity to inake fairly big money early in youth, he was content to try the banking business on a small salary. Of course there are a good many men who started in the banking business when he did, and who are still about where they were when they started. But at least they still have steady jobs. If they had taken to baseball they would not be doing as well. Our object In referring to this particular case Is to call attention to (the fact that If you want Inspiration In your work you can get it In the newspapers plenty of it. Brief bits of biography such as the one we have cited appear almost every day. Seldom is a prominent man's name mentioned in connection with an Important affair that you do not learn something about how he started and why he succeeded. If you want to read about the failures and the horrible examples, you can read about them, too. While this man was rising from a bank clerk to a bank president, another man who started as an impor-

of the ever-expanding universe, you may set it down that you are marked for a mere Imitating plodder, of which the world at present has a tremendous over-supply. No harm can come to you In exploiting new fields. It is better to fall in untried effort than painstakingly to avoid it, for by exerting yourself you may quite unexpectedly arouse some dormant capability of whose existence you had not the slightest suspicion. Life Is a search for substance on which life depends. It is through this search that we discover things r.nd get from them useful results. To take no part In this ever-ox-pandlng search is to admit defeat. You cannot long continue in the chase of honor and fame without soon feeling the exhilarating thrill of the ennobling adventure. And when vour blood runs hot your brain tingles with clearing vision, and your whole being becomes attuned to novel surroundings, you stretch out eager arms nnd cry in joyous voice for more, more! And the beautiful part of such experience Is that what in your days of slackness you considered drudgery barren of results, resolves Itself into a thing of Inspiration, bearing you on strong, swift wings to the top of your dreamland hill.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

"ELECTRICITY"

TN SEK - this w

KING the derivation of

ord. one might be par

doned for supposing that It had something to do with the ancient

word for lightning or even for J steel or iron, because these sub

stances have become connected in our minds with thi substance Itself. But "electricity" is one of those words which might be termed "natural errors," for It has Its origin in the Greek word for amber elektron. In fact, a literal translation of it would be "the quality of being like amber." The connection is far from apparent until we dig back Into Greek history and find that the scientists of ancient Athens discovered that, by rubbing a piece of amber vigorously they were able to attract light objects with it. We now know that the force which we call "electricity" was generated by the rubbing of the amber, by the friction applied to its surface, but the Greeks were of the opinion that this was a quality Inherent in the amber Itself. While the existence of this force has luvn apparent in the form of lightning, magnets and the like, for countless centuries, it was only in very recent times that It was recognized as a distinct power, to be studied and catalogued and used for the benefit of mankind. The name applied to it, however, was the name given by the Greeks to the substance which manifested it. (Copyright.)

FIRST TO COMPRESS FEET

Favorite of Chinese Emperor, Many Centuries Ago, Said to Have Originated the Custom.

J. P. Donovan, authority on Chinese customs, In an article called "Romance In Chinese Literature," published In the Forum, writes: "The ideal of beauty and the mark of gentility for a woman used to be small feet, the compression of which was not imposed by law but was a craze of fashion, as slender waists were at one time in England. Several accounts are given as to the origin of the custom of foot-binding, but probably the following Js the correct one: "It is said that Yao Niang, the beautiful concubine of Emperor Li Yu (975 A. D.), was light and graceful In all her movements, being able to dance with ease and elegance. She gave so much pleasure to her lord and master that he caused to be made golden lily flowers with movable petals for Yao Niang to walk on from her apartments to the palace. To gratify the emperor still further, she compressed her feet. In order that they might look like a Illy bud unopened, until they were three Inches long."

Too Much for Him. "What's become of the barber who was shaving me?" "He's having a fit In the rear," said the proprietor, who had taken the missing artist's place. "Do you mean to tell mc you employ a man to shave the people who is afflicted like that?" "I havent't the heart to turn him out. Bill is a good worker and he never had fits until women started to coming In here to get their hair bobbed." Birmingham Age-Herald.

There never was a time when Goodyear Tires were so good as now. They are bigger, heavier and stronger today than any earlier Goodyears ever were. Yet Goodyear prices arc lower now than ever. Not even in those remembered days before the war did Goodyear Tires sell at such low prices as today. Look at the figures listed below. They represent an average decrease of more than from Goodyear prices of 1910. When you can get these better Goodyears at such prices, there is no question of the tire value at your command. Your Goodyear Service Station Dealer will tell you that never in his experience as a tire dealer has he known the equal of this value. See him today.

MAKE COLLECTION OF GERMS j ODD CURE FOR RHEUMATISM

Institutions In Europe and the United States That Preserved Them for Investigators.

The first "guide book" of what may be popularly called the germ "zoo has just been Issued by the British Medical Research council. The body, as previously announced, hit on the happy idea of making a national collection of living germs of disease so that any. doctor or investigator requiring some particular germ for his work might be able to get it at once, alive and active. There are similar collections at the Pasteur institute, Paris, at the Museum of Natural History, New York, and at Vienna. The Kritish collection is housed at the Lister "nstitute; and fresh additions of new "strains" and "forms" are constantly -being added. The catalogue gives the name of each germ, the name of Its donor, and the year of the gift.

One Way of Knowing. Two friends put up at a hotel, and one of them could not sleep or for some other reason got up early the following morning and went for a walk before breakfast. He returned in time to join his friend at the meal, and was greeted by the jocular: "Up and early this morning. Bill. What's the trouble?" "How Co you know I was up early, .Tim?" Bill fenced. "I heard you go out an hour before I came down," explained Bill. "How did you know it was me, though?" queried Bill. "Oh, I can always tell your footsteps by your cough !" Answers.

Might Have Been Effective In 1742; But One Would Hesitate to Recommend It. Rheumatism Is associated with a greater number of superstitions than any other complaint. In Holland there are people who believe that a potato begged or stolen I an effective preventive, while chestnuts are said to possess the same efficacy. In the Midlands of England the right forefoot of a hare, carried In the pocket, is regarded as a fine amulet, and the Cornish villager Is apt to put his trust in a piece of the wood of the mountain ash. Perhaps the strangest "cure" for rheumatism Is that which Is to be found In the "Compleat Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman's Companion" a work published In 1742; "Let the party take of the finest glazed gunpowder as much as a large thimble may hold, wet It with a spoon with milk from the cow, and drink a good half-pint of warm milk after It; be. covered warm In bed nnd sweat; give it fasting about seven In the morning, and take this nine or ten mornings together."

"Ain't It the Truth7" "Halloa, old top!" said Bertie, genially, "did you catch that train all right last night?" "Oh, I caught It all right.- leplled Jack dejectedly. "Saw the rear lights disappearing as I arrived on the platform" "But, hang it all, you just said you caught It," corrected Bertie. Jack sighed. "The married man who misses the last train always catches it," he said.

Here's Good Advice: Relieve Your Fatigue With Sleep. Avoid Stimulants

THERE is nothing in the world so reconstructive as sound, refreshing sleep. During sleep the system rids itself of the fatigue poisons that have accumulated during the day. The food elements are taken up by the various tissues that require rebuilding nutriment. It is important that you get plenty of health-bringing sleep. Anything that interferes with your sleep hampers and hinders you mentally and physically. A common cause of physical weakness and mental depression is the reaction following over-stimulation by the drug, caffeine, and

other elements found in both coffee and tea. If you have an idea that coffee or tea drinking may be injurious to your health, why not stop it for a week or so. and drink delicious, fragrant Postum instead. Postum is a rich, golden-brown, pure cereal beverage. It contains no harmful elements of any kind You can drink Postum as many times a day as you or the children desire a grateful, refreshing beverage. Your grocer Iis both forms of Pcsmrn: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in thm cup by the addition cf boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages cf larger bulk, for these who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling fcr fully 20 minutes.
