MAN’S SEVEN MISTAKES eighing ^yfouv~~^ In your building every fire danger, every un protected opening and each protective device, is measured against known standards and practical experience. Your insurance rate reflects your fire danger as clooely as human minds can judge a future event It may be possible for you to make changes or improve your fire protection, thereby de serving a lower rate. In any case you will need the services of an experienced stock fire insurance agent. Don M. Graham THE INSURANCE MAN Welcome lo __ • X W E o ^ E e M an’s im perfections lead him to m ake many mistakes in life, and the pointing out of these frailties has engaged the attention of philosophers and reform ers of all ages. A recent w riter enum erates w hat he considers to be the seven greatest m istakes of man, as follows: 1. The delusion th at individual advancem ent is made by crushing others down. 2. The tendency to worry about things th a t cannot be changed or corrected. 3. Insisting th at a thing is impossible because we our selves cannot accomplish it. 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences in order th at im portantNthings may be accomplished. 5. Neglecting the developm ent and refinem ent of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading. 6. A ttem pting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do. 7. Failure to establish the habit of saving money. This appears to be a pretty fa ir diagnosis of w hat is the m atter with us, and eveiyone might profitably check up on himself in the light of these suggestions. ¡0 PLANS TO Doctors, dentists and surgeons may advertise in news- pap< era w ithout detracting from their individual dignity or laps apsing in th eir code of professional ethics, is the statem ent made by the president of the W ashington State Medical association in an address m ade recently to a group of m ed ical men at Spokane. Constructive advertising in new spapers is legitimate, states the speaker in order to “win back the confidence of the public and acquaint them with proper medical ser vice.” Carl D. Silven, member of the state g a m e commission, has announced that he will join a party of state offi cials who will make a trip into the antelope section of southeastern Oregon The wets would make the drys believe th a t between Rockefeller’s high powered gas and Sloan’s high power ed cars prohibition is going to be ‘taken for a ride.” REMODEL AND REPAJR; There never was a better time than right now for construction work of any kind.
