The Shirker Gets Nowhere; The Worker Climbs The philosophy in the foregoing caption may not appeal to the average reader because it Beems to re-iterate an observation that does not hold true ;n fact. Many of us may say that you cannot prove the assertion, or that luck is the governing principle in success. : Charles Schwab, in a speech delivered before the students of Princeton University not long ago, said he wished he were young again because the opportunities of forging to the front today are infinitely greater than they were when he was a stripling. There never was better opportunity, and there never was more truth in the observation that the worker will climb and the shirker get nowhere. It can be said with truth that there will be bigger jobs in the next ten years for the trained man than there were ten years ago. Richard Spillane recently made a study of the careers of many big men in New York to see whether they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth or started humbly. The results of his investigation are incorporated in an article in "Commerce and Finance", copious excerpts of which follow: The present writer was in New York recently to see the man who is head of one of the greatest railroads in the world and representative of John D. Rockefeller's big interests in transportation lines. "Where were you at 20 ?" the newspaper man asked. "Telegraph operator at a way station on a railroad in Arkansas," was the reply. "Where did you begin?" the greatest publisher in America, if not in the world, was asked.
"At 12 years of age, with a capital of 3 cents," was the answer. Are the opportunities today as good as in days gone by? Assuredly. There never was greater opportunity. From out of the ranks of he office boys, the clerks, the railroad employes, the rodmen, the students, the shopmen, the factory workers, the salesmen of today will come the great captains of tomorrow. The opportunity is bigger today because the active, the enterprising, the alert and capable stand out in vivid contrast at a time when there
is so much of inclination to shirk and loaf on the job. v One of the partners of the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. was a reporter in New York getting $30 a week twenty years ago. The head of the biggest life insurance company in the world was a small town school teacher when he was 20. Before that he worked on a farm." Frederick Underwood, president of the Erie railroad, was a brakeman. The president of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance company of Philadelphia started his busi
ness career as errand boy for John Wanamaker at $1 a week. Thomas A. Edison was a "train butcher," selling candy, cakes and such things to railroad travelers. The mayor of New York was a locomotive fireman. The greatest retail merchant the world ever has known, and who died leaving 65 million dollars, was a hired hand in a country store. John Carty, one of the principal administrative officers of the American Telegraph cpmpany, rose from a $5 a week job in the company's Boston office. r D. C. Jackling, the biggest figure in copper mining in America, was a farm hand in St. Clair oounty, Missouri, and got his start educationally by studying at night by candle light in the attic of the rude shack he called "home". , Michael Idvorsky Pupin, who developed the
long distance telephone, was a porter in a New
York store. Before that he was a farm hand.
. George M. Reynolds, president of the Conti-l
nental and Commercial Bank of Chicago, the largest financial institution outside of New York, started as an office boy for a concern in Panora, , Iowa.
Answers to Questions

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
times we are thinking of going on strike. We have had our salary raised to such a height that we hayje the owner of the paper working for us now and we sure do like to see him labor. We thought we had a grievance for a whilewhen there was some question of'the delivery of the bundle of salary we get, but that was settled when he put on an extra truck. He even provided a special vault for us to store our savings in at home. The only thing we can see to strike for is a shorter column and our name in electric lights over the office building. So we are herewith serving notice of our intention.

Dear Roy: In a local theater the
No Wonder They Died Young "They always give us plentiful fare, particularly at breakfast, where veal cutlets, sweetbreads, cheese, eggs and ham were most liberally set before us. Dinner is little more than a repetition of breakfast, with spirits instead of coffee. Rum, whisky and brandy are placed upon the table, and the use of these left to the discretion of the company, who seem rarely to abuse them."

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
BOOK-VISITING I found myself alone lor an evening recently. I would have preferred an evening with some delightful friend above anything. But the evening was well on its way. What should I do to satisfy,, in a measure, the craving for human companionship?
I looked about me. There were my
hooks friends of the years

And to I did. t I 'often go book-visiting at some bookshop the quainter the better. And often I get so wrapped up in the talk of some new book that I have to bribe it honestly and take it home with me. TVt a l-irtTTiv tti;ncr ahmit hnnk-vifiitinrr
is that you may go to whom you will, . i i i i '
stay as long as you warn aim icavu without hunting anyone. You can sit and talk with the greatest, and you may have your own ideas and opinions as to their expressions. Not until the old Sandman rascal crept into ray library and got up to some of his old tricks did I have to leave off a-visiting my book friends. I recommend book-visiting. The one who is constantly improving his mind from association with the best Hunkers of the world daily adds to his power for usefulness. Everyone should find time each day to visit pome lino book. I introduced one of my lovely books to a friend the other day and my friend loved it so that I married them then and there. In other words, I
gave my book away and it made me
very happy. Next to real friends come the book friends. Let's go and see them often.

ONE BOTTLE OF DREOO KILLED MHATARRH Had a Constant Dripping Into His Throat Claims Dreco Has Cured it
"Maybe other people have had catarrh as badly as I did, but they would have to prove it to me before I'd believe it. I had almost constant dripping into my throat from the back of my nose, and in the morning my

tirely stopped up. and it took a good long time before I could get them free enough to be comfortable." Mr. Ivon Murphy, of Greentown, Ind., near Kokomo Volunteered this statement and offered it in the right spirit as a possible benefit to other sufferers from this most annoying complaint. "My breath was foul too, so much so that I was ashamed to go into company at times, for I felt sure it must be objectionable to my friends. Honestly, I believe I took two dozen different remedies, supposed to be good for catarrh, and went to one doctor after another, but at the finish 1 considered that I was just a little worse off than when I began. "Just about this timej a friend told me of a positive cure of catarrh made by Dreco. I didn't have any more faith in it than the law allows but took one bottle for luck. Almost at once I saw that I was fcn the right track; could see improvement right along, and was comfortable in breathing freely for the first time in years, and not a trace of the drippings in the throat. "You .can take toy word for it, I kept right on, and am now finlshipg up the second bottte but it's my opinion the first bottle really did all the work, and I'm only taking the second to sort b 'make sure of it.' I know that I'm going to be entirely cured, and it's a pitty that others don't know all about Dreco. You can tell them about, me, if you like." All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores. Advertisement-.
CUT THIS OUT OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES If you know of some one who Is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for a long time past have recognized that catarrh is a constitutional disease and necessarily requires constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force tho disease into the middle ear which frequently means total deafness, or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages towards the lungs which is equally as dangerous. The following formula which is used extensively in the damp. English climate is a constitutional treatment and should prove especially efficacious to sufferers here who live under more favorable climate conditions. Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of Parmint (Double strength). Take this home and add to it M pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one table-
spoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and hearing Improve as the inflammation in the eustachian tubes is reduced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has a tonic action that helps to obtain the desired results. The preparation is easy to make, costs little and is pleasant to take. Every person who has catarrh or head noises or is hard of hearing should give this treatment a trial. Advertisement.
