Born a Chattle, Now Rich David T. Howard, one of the wealthiest negroes in the south, celebrated his golden wedding anniversary at his home in Atlanta, Ga., a few days ago. Porn a slave, deprived of an education; without a pull or influence, Howard, on the basis of a legacy of $150, left by his former master, accumulated a fortune. What were the elements of his success ? How did he overcome racial handicaps and conquer poverty? Was it luck or a combination of cir

cumstances over which he had no control ? Read his own explanation : "I never wasted time. I never went in for wild oats, but always attended to my business." There is nothing new in that statement of this man's success. It is as old as the world. Philosophers of all ages and in all climes have laid down that rule as the only one leading to success. He was industrious. He was thrifty. He attended to business. Industry, application to duty, hard work they bring their reward not in praise but in tangible dollars. Thrift puts those dollars to work where they will earn returns, and attention to business keeps those dollars out of blue sky investments and working in legitimate enterprises.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams THE HABIT OF READING. I have always noted that the great reader is always a fine observer. And the one who observes who Bees things, and who THINKS about "what he sees, is always the one who n grows. If you see him at intervals during the years, you see him at each time greater and bigger. When there is nothing else to do, you can read ! The busiest men and women who ever lived, were great readers. Theodore Roosevelt carried a regular library with him on his hunting trips when a man is supposed not. to read. Reading broadens the character and gives new viewpoints to the most ordinary mind. It takes one into the jungles of history and reveals the wonders of science and progress. The best of an author is usually what you get in his book. There it is that he stamps the impress of his heart. You can carry a whole battalion of friends with you in your traveling bag, in the shape of a handful of books. The habit of reading will kill idleress quicker than prussic acid will kill a dog! You can go anywhere in a book and enter any desired land or-mood. . And seasons mean nothing. You can tread the arctic in the heat of summer' or hunt flowers while snow sleds pass. : ou can re-discover America or walk; thru the mediaeval days of central Eu-i rope. Books are themselves discoverers. They find new minds to inspire j and build. I Whatever you do, get the habit of j leading. And make it a LIFE habit! Good E iooa nvenins By Roy K. Moulton The weakest thing in the world , these days is the nogg in the egg-noarg. ! There is one sort of literature that has meat in every line, and that i3 1 the butcher's bill. i It is said a good many people are now communicating with the spirits, but not as much as they used to. Abcut eighty ppr cent of the old clothes men have iriven up in disgust. No man i:- a real artist until he can eat spaghetti without a dustpan. The amount you pay your landlord is Itching Eczema Dried Right Up With Sulphur Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little MenthcSulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying proper ties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings case from skin irritation. soothes and heals the eczema right up and loaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement. Sufferers from tkin trouble should get a little jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like a cold cream. Advertisement.

Howard owns a business rated the fourth largest of its kind in Atlanta. It was not given to him by a philanthropist. It was not a premium, which he received in a lottery. It was not the result of a gamble. It is the golden reward of his own 'work. All honor to him. Many a man who bemoans his own failure attributes his lack of success to misfortune or an unkind providence. Seldow does he look back to the days when he spent money for the sowing of wild oats dollars that should have been deposited in the savings bank, money that would have given him his start in life. Never does he count the time lost in preventible idleness, in unnecessary cessation from work, in loafing and roistering, as elements that prevented his rise. Never does he understand that inattention to his business or trade means dollars lost. Young men especially fail to realize that their youth is the golden season to accumulate money. Demands on their incomes is less than later when they have established homes of their own. And yet in this period when their legitimate ex

penses are least, their expenditures for frivolities are greatest. This folly, alas, is not regarded .seriously until it is too late to remedy it.

"Too many silk shirts and too much good time," said Howard, were the causes of social unrest. Also a true commentary on a condition that, happily for our country, is disappearing rapidly. The gospel of work is again beginning to act as a leaven in our national life, and beneficent results, showing themselves in increased production, are beginning to bring us back to that state of normality which rests on a sound and sane foundation. Howard is an inspiring example to both races of what integrity, hard work, application, and common sense will do for a man. His handicaps were great, but he conquered them by the ageold principles of right living and right doing.

My idea of a pleasant afternoon would be to be dropped suddenly into the middle of Russia in a dress suit and plug hat. We believe the oldest man in the world lives in New Jersey. He says he can remember when motion picture stars used to walk to work. Well, there is only one more income tax installment before Christmas. Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON MAN AND HIS JOB. From Massachusetts comes the news, "The labor market's glutted;" and many workers have the blues who lately pawed and strutted. The toilers were in such demand that they could name their wages; there never was a snap so grand in all the bygone ages. A silken shirt that cost much kale adorned the haughty tinner, and in a diamond studded dinner pail he packed his princely dinner.

The Weak or the Strong One If you see before you a strong and safe bridge leading to your goal, would you ignore it and choose some insecure and tottering structure ? If you were offered sure aid in time of trouble would you hesitate to accept it? The answer is simple you would choose what all evidence showed to be the sate way and you would risk nothing in useless experiments. Why then do some, women risk one of their most precious possessions their health in trying: medicines of unknown value, when everybody knows that the most successful remedy for woman's ills is Lydia E. Pinkham's

The blacksmith's wife in royal furs, went gadding here and yonder; a stately limousine was hers, which made the banker ponder. It couldn't last, this sort of thing, it jarred all sense and reason; a janitor may ape a king but only for a season. And now the earnest student sees the signs of sense grow plainer; we're getting back by slow degrees to better times and saner. We've looked on labor with a frown, we've been so independent, as we went looling through the town, in garments most resplendent. We've seen employers on their knees, beseeching and imploring, that we would help them put up cheese, their briny teardrops pouring. And now they're standing on their feet, and if we earn their money, we have to seek them, looking sweet, and cut out tantrums funny. To saner, wiser thingumbobs we. go, by easy stages; soon men will learn to guard their jobs, and prize their weekly wages. Darwin had no respect for books as books, and would cut a big volume in iwo, ior convenience in nandling, or he would tear out the leaves he re quired for reference. ts more proot : Gainesville. Tex. " For tnroft years I suffered untold agony each month with pains in my side. I found only temporary relief in doctor's medicine or anything else I took until my husband and I saw an advertisement ot Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I mentioned it to a neighbor and 6he told me she bad taken it with good results, and advised me to try it. I was then r bed part of the time, and my dc. ttr said I would have to be operated on, but we decided to try the Vegetable Compound, and I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash.

( Answers to Questions Reader How did England acquire Ireland? England acquired Ireland by conquest in 1172. Henry II Is said to have obtained a bull from Pope Hadrian IV authorizing him to take possession o the island, on condition of paying to the papal treasury a stipulated annual revenue. This bull probably is a forgery. At all events, nothing was done until Dermod Macmurrough, the deposed king of Leinster, sought refuge at his court and obtained permission to enlist the services of English subjects for the recovery of his kingdom. Dermod, returning to Ireland in 1169, with the aid of hi3 foreign mercenaries and still more mimerous Irish allies, succeeded in recovering part of his former territories and in capturing Dublin and other towns along the east coast. In 1172, King Henry, with a formidable armament visited Ireland, received homage from several minor native chiefs and from the principal Norman leaders, and granted to the latter charters authorizing them as bis subjects, to take possession of portions of the island, in virtue of the grant made to him by the pope. The Norman chiefs encountered strong opposition before they succeeded in establishing themselves on the lands which they thus claimed. International Encyclopedia. R. F. Explain the use of "kind of"?

Dinner Stories "Robson. do you know why you are like a donkey?" the Jester queried. . "Like a donkey?" echoed Robson, opening his eyes wide. "I don't." "Because your better half is stubbornness itself." The jest pleased Robson Immensely, for be at once saw the opportunity for a glorious dig at his wife. So when he got home he said: "Dear, do you know why I am like a donkey?" He waited a moment, expecting his wife to give it up. But she didn't. "I suppose it's because you were born so." v A lecturere was talking on the drink question. "Now, supposing I had a pail of water and a pail of beer on this platform and then brought on a donkey, which of the two would he take?" "He'd take the water," came a voice from the gallery. "And why would he take the water?" asked the lecturer. "Because you would beat him to the beer," ways the reply. Biological Survey Published by State (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 21.
