short intervals. aud then use all

DEAR SIR-The safest plan and the one
most sure of success for the young man
starting in life is to select the vocation
which is most congeniHl to his tastes.
He should then be careful a
keep himself in soodaeel US
for that is the foaRSs yet sue
cess in life-tla,s5D zsfafum of for
tune. sh2aeseaH sand tobacco. You
must eSD&Giear brain to make money.
YWysedhnot carry on business success
fully il your bruin is nuddled and your
judgment warped by Intoxicating drink.
Keep out of debt. Debt drags IL man
down more than anything else. 1t de-
sirovs his self-respect nud makes him
almost despcubIe IN his own eyes.
Put what money you have and oil you
may save III the future Ut interest where
il will be well secured. Real estate is
the most safe of I'LL investments. Money
at interest. with good security, will
work more faithfully than anything else
in the worll. 1t never stops, day or
night, no matter if the weather be wet
or dry.
Engage in one kind of business only /,
and stick 10 it faithfully until you sue
coed, or until your experience shows
you that you should abandon it. What
ever you engage in make it your con-
slant atb to he and to have the very
best in your line. When sure you are in
the right path persevere.
To make money dishonesty Is the
hardest thing in life. Therefore pre-
serve your integrity. Remember that
the roa 20 wealth lies In exppud ing less
than we earn. =. T. BARNUM.

there are hundreds in Fort Worth who
can follow it.
