"We have got it will get it or it is not made."
Joy In Trying.
Do not allow yourself to Just drift
long through life. Set before you an
uuu, some real purpose. Cultivate uope
ami ambition to accomplish something.
Do not be contented to let things hap
pen; make things happen. Whatever
your business or occupation aim to ex
cel lu it. Financial yulu is not all one
(jets from labor well performed. Your
character Is elevated and your mind U
enlarged, and the satisfaction lu hav
ing done well is the most real Joy.
Don't be afraid to set your aim httth.
Gild It with your highest ldeuls. Let
the hope of its attainment nerve your
every act. Turn incidents and circum
stances toward the attainment of your
aim. If you have no aim you reach
nowhere. A life without u purpose is
a dreary thing, without real Joy. Sup
pose you fail to reach the heights you
have set as your standard; you will
have gone higher than if you had not
striven. You will be more useful, of
more worth, than if you had not tried.

Telegram. How David Garrick Made Hit Fortune.
If David Garrick had had no more
than lils salary as an actor he would
have had little to leave at his death.
He made his fortune as Joint proprie
tor, and for a time as sole proprietor.
of Drury Lane theater, so that the
amount set down to himself as salary
was practically nominal. When he re
tired from he stage in 1770 he sold
half his share lu the theater for 35,
000. He was probably the only actor
who consistently made Shakespeare
pay, and, like Shakespeare, ho was
actor, author and proprietor.
It may be recalled that Garrick, who
had no enemies outside his own pro
fession, was the grandson of a French
man exiled at tho revocation of the
edict of Nantes and that his father
was a captain In the army. Loudon
Standard.
There are two oilier reasons
why this is wished on to you.
The first one is that people are
supposed to be hungry for this
sort of stuff and unless they get
about so much dished up steam
ing along with the lint cakes in
the morning they figure that the
guy that's peddling that particu
lar brand of Coin Separator don't
amount to more than a soiled
duece and his wares are not in
the same class as the sport who
smears the front page all over
with a lot of Con talk that no one
believes.
The third reason is that I need
the money.
I suppose that you are begin
ning to wonder what all this line
of chatter is about anyway, but
be patient, I'm liable to say
something pretty soon.
I'm not going to start out and
tell you how badly you'll get
stung if you don't patronize me,
but are foolish enough to buy a
piano from some of my competi
tors. Icn' not the only original
little philanthropist. Between
you and me there are some
mighty decent men in the piano
business. Whisper it gently, all
evidence to the contrary not
withstanding. You can buv a
good piano from any of them.
You notice that I say "can ''
You don't always not quite. I
want you to take particular
notice of that little word "can."
A man regardless of how honest
he is and all these sort of things,
don't want your business bad
enough to sell you a piano for
less than it costs him. IIo CAts'
do all that he CAN but he CAN'T
sell without a profit very long.
CAN a man who buys through
a middleman, that buys of a job
ber that buys of the factory sell
to you as cheap as another
Suppose that 1 am no greedier
than the oilier fellow fur a prof

just as anxious for your business
as he is I CAN do better by you
than he CAN, CAN I not?

Well Balanced Diet,
One of the most common faults of
the diet is the eating of too much pro
tein foods. In excess this is hard for
the body to excrete and is likely to de
compose In the intestines with the
formation of poisonous waste products.
Green vegetables and raw fruit are
.uiportaiit elements of the diet. There
is li'tlo energy la these foods, but I hey
supply mineral salts which the body
needs and curious substances called
vitamins, which ore easily destroyed
by cooking.
One food expert has wipm-sted a rule
tor securing a well balanced diet. It
Is: An ordinary family should spend
about as much for inllli, u-i-'ct.'iblcs
and fruits as for meats, lisb and cubs
and as much for milk and optrs us for
meat and flnh.
