I See It Through
When the allies were reeling under the blow3
of the Germans they held on with grim deter miriation to see the issue through. In the dark
est hour when they fought with their backs to
the wall, the will to win prevented their collapse.
When Columbus, with a vision of a new trade
route to the west firing his imagination, met re
buffs and refusals, he did not quail or give up in
disgust, but held on until he discovered America John D. Rockefeller amassed millions and mil
lions because he would not be shaken when oil
was still an uncertain commodity. Andrew Carnegie had the nerve to buy out his partners when they became disgusted and tired over early defeats, and so he became a success. The panic of 1873 did not deter H. C. Frick from staying with the infant coke industry. He finished the job, and success was his reward. And so in other spheres also. It isn't always easy to carry on in the face of obstacles that seem to be insurmountable. Discouragements and difficulties usually invite the quitter to back down :md out. He looks at the irksome hardships of tho struggle and says, "What's the use?"
The successful man, in most instances, laid the foundation of his fortune in dark hours and amid discouraging events. He had confidence in himself and his cause. No one loves a quitter or a shirker. Washington was great, not so much because he was a profound thinker, for other men in that great galaxy of revolutionary statesmen outshone him; not because he was a military genius, for his knowledge of military affairs was limited; not because he was a great financier, for others of his day knew more of money affairs. He was- great
because he would not quit at Valley Forge, nor when congress was dilatory in raising men and
money, nor when jealous officers plotted against him. He was true to his conviction, holding to
the ideal even if it meant trial for treason and the loss of all his possessions.
Men, cities and nations that keep their eyes
to the front, and keep marching on and on to
ward their goal, trampling down obstacles,
marching over hard places, wading through dis-
rniimorpmprits. and fiehtmcr without rest or.
pause are the ones that win.
Little Belgium is pointing the way to the
world. It is delivering a full load of energy, efficiency and effort each day. The disasters of war belong to yesterday. Its population is working today for tomorrow. It is not asking alms of the world or pity from the inhabitants thereof. Belgium is restoring itself by the identical process with which the savage shaped his first stone hammer work. It has galvanized the eternal principle of work with a national determination to see through its process of restoration
to a glorious finish.
Answers to Questions
Its" workers and capitalists
are committed to this program.
And so America as a nation and each of ua individually as patriotic citizens of the republic must look at the problem of after-war adjustments with the resolute spirit of seeing it
through, despite grievances, hardships and condi
tions that some times seem unjust and cruel. The farmer who will nof till all his acres be
cause he believes the city man works only eight
hours daily, is not doing his duty by his nation
and is recreant to his own better self. The worker who resolves to produce hardly
enough to satisfy demands at home is untrue to
himself and the destiny of his nation.
The capitalist and business man who refuses to see the new message of co-operation and mutual friendship in the great family of our nation is playing traitor to his own moral make-up. If we are made of stern stuff, possess rugged determination, actually have the backbone and moral fibre of men who can keep on fighting even when the tide of battle seems against us, we will not waste precious hours in idleness or wild speculation, but work diligently and faithfully until the day of victory obliterates the toils of the struggle and effaces the traces of the conflict.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
FOLDED HAND-ERS. It is remarkable that the world advances as fast as it does, witn all the sitters-still about. A lot of those who are in jail should le out, ahd a lot of those who sit with folded hands and warm soft seats should take their place. For five years, nearly, the productive areas of the earth and of men's minds were busy tearing down what it took centuries to build. And now with
more work, in the world than ever be- face
fore, there are more sitting around with folded hands than in all the history of the world. Now is not so much a time to reflect as to. work! There is o much to do, and comparatiA'oly po little being done. Each of us might put his hand to the wheel and with elertness try to guide affairs aright. Wo are all important, so long as we work and produce. I like the man who takes an interest beyond those nearest and dearest to him. He who sees in the betterment of his town and state and country, a real chanco lor him, is the good citizen. I am glad that women are being given the opportunity with men to better the affairs of the world. Too many have been wound with cords that bound them to inactivity. Their
fine minds and large sympathies will make men more capable. There is so' much to do and there pre not enough to do nil the jobs. nut tilings will dailv grow better, if those who now sit with folded hands will onlv pet up and set to work. And the more people there are working, the less dissatisfaction there will be and the largest measure of happiness all around.

That's Right, Say "I Want CELERY KING" Take a cup to regulate your bowel to purify your blood and make you strong so you can withstand an attack of grippe if it happens to come along this winter.

Don't Spoil Your Hair By Washing It
When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain to much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and ms)kes the hair
brittle. ' t The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Advertisement.

Pangs of jealousy were in Miss Coldfoot's heart when she heard that her late admirer had been accepted
' by Miss Lovebird, and when she hap
pened to run across her in the bargain rush she could not resist giving her a thrust. "I hear you have accepted Jack." she gushed. "I suppose he never told you that he once proposed to me."
