Recently there died a man ot wealth
and prominence whose business wai
conducted In accordance with a policy
of enlightened self-Interest that act-
Ire endeavor toward personal advance
ment which takes Into account In largt
measure the general good. He was s
manufacturer of bicycles, and realising
that Improved highways meant In
creased demand for the products of hit
factories, he became a pioneer In th
movement for good roads. Realizing
also that a more general appreciation
ot the manr pleasured and benefits ol
outdoor life would mean more bicycle
riding, he established a magaxlne de
voted to such life. The two causei
which be helped along In energetic am!
practical fashion need no defense.
Doth are generalr accepted aa Import
ant factors In the material advance
ment of the countrr and In the per
sonal welfare ot Its people. When tin
bicycle declined In popularity this mar
engaged In the manufacture ot auto
mobiles, and continued his advocacy
ot good roads. That he prospered by
his far-sightedness vindicated the wis
dom ot his course, even from the self
ish point of view. Every man is Juttl
fled In promoting his own welfare, to
protecting his own interests and In
acquiring a competence against tht
Inevitable old age. It Is his doty tc
do this, and happy the man, and .happy
the community In which he lives and
labors, when he does it in such a way
that those round him are benefited
rather than Injured. Not all can be
great manufacturers and gain wealth
by leadership in national movements
but every person can act on the sound
theorr that self-interest is best served,
not by the narrow selfishness which

QUESTION OF Y0UB POSITION'S VALUE.
By John A. lowland.
I was talking with a bright young fellow
the other day who has been nursing a llttl
sontness against his employer. He went Into
th establishment as almost a beginner In
th business. He hss worked hard and faith
fully for two year or more, with only one
small Increase In his salary. Six months
ago, feeling that If he had progressed as he
felt he had done, he was worth more money.
he asxed (or more. Hut he hain't got the "raise." Il
wasn't refused It. simply his employer hasn't given It
to him.
That one greatest' reason why this young man
wouldn't think of'leavlng his employer was that In his
work he felt he was getting a broad, liberal education
In his specialty. That house which, through a friend
there, had offered 50 per cent lncrvase In salary, was
slow, conservative, practically making no advance. In
bis preient place ot employment aggressive method
and unquestioned money to put them through had made
It a standing example of up-to-date progress.
Men In business have built up organisations where
they are besieged with applications for positions. Ordi
narily that man who I an organtter In the true sense
Isn't searching out high priced, developed talent In
other quarters with which (o back up his business ma
chinery. He Is developing It himself. For this reason,
in many lines ot work, he has a double appreciation of
the man who appreciates his organization for what
that organization Is. If he ha a man drawing f 10.000
salary who refuses to accept $20,000 a year In a third
class establishment and time and again such cases
develop should the organizer volunteer to Increase the
employe's salary bccau of the refusal? The man I
tried and proved through the refoul ot that offer; he

PROBLEMS OF BETTER HEALTH EDUCATION.

It Is obvious that In education health is
fundamental, that yen cannot properly edu

The health problem ot th public schools hav refer

their ability to maintain thetr health In after life, but
alto In a larger sense to the health of th entire com

from contagious disease; to si-cure the correction or re

In New Jersey which compels alt ve

Continued efforts are making by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis to discour

consumptives from the East to the

reported that more than seven thou-'

from the East every year, only to die
In ono of the five States favored by
consumptives. Tuberculosis can be
cured or arrested In any part of the

The most cursory survey of the
world's literature, dramatic or other
wise, will convince anyone that the
profession of humorist or true come

known. The Jokesralth may get a mo

Is willing to take the will for the
deed. But the man who would set his
name among those who have made
permanent additions to the world's
fun must have a list of specifications
for a permit to make a road through
a Plnchot reserve. He must have In
tight, sympathy, knowledge of charac

that is felt beneath bis airiest webs of

The Iroaperltr of tba Krmr.
This year we shall raise three bil
lion bushels ot corn. It is hard to
realize what that means, says a writer
In Success Magazine. It Is a harvest
greater even than tho bumper crop of
1906. These three billion bushel will
be worth to the fanner over a billion
and a half of dollars, or over three
times as much as the corn was worth
In 1896. Last year the value of all
farm products In the United States
was almost eight billions of dollar;
this year It will be over eight billions.
This Is more than the entire wealth of
America In 1850. In 1850 tho farms of
the United States were worth less than
four billions; to-day they aro worth
twenty-eight billion Every dsy the
farms of the country are worth 13.
400,000 more than they wore worth the
day before.
It Is a good thing for the people at
large that the farmers are getting
tbelr share of the general Increase In
wealth. The eight billion dollars that
they get each year amounts to only
seven hundred dollars apiece when It
Is distributed oyer all the farmers and
farm laborers In the country. Hut the
per capita amount Is growing and Is
bound to grow still more.
During the next twenty years we are
going to see a great revolution In
farming. Agriculture Is to bo more
intelligent and more Intense, new
plants are to be Introduced, a better
use Is to be made of the land, and
an acre will produce twice as much as
It now produces. The benefit of this
new production should not be monop
olized by railroads, elevator companies
and harvester trusts. It should go to
the farmers and to the people, and
should show itself in better food, cloth
ing and housing and In more wide
spread education for the great maw

pitying scorn upon his friends who
surrendered to a more temporary mad

It was a great relief not to be eter

reason he had sought the society of

was that In spite of btr prrttlncua she
