The young man who intends to sue.
coed must do more work than he Is
employed to do, and lie must do 1t diff
erently than 1t has been done, and the
difference must be an Improvement
over the old method. This means the
young man must think. How many
young men in the country stores are
thinking ?-how many appreciate what
thinking is? They hold their opinions
about politics and religion without be-
ing able to state clearly defined rea-
son therefor. This is not thinking; it
is merely blind action. There are a
good many bright young men in the
country stores who could develop
themselves wonderfully If they would
study and reason. There should be
more reading done; reading develops
thinking. The late DR.. Poole, Of Chi
cago, said one great thing in life was
to get people to read; what they read
would take care Of itself later. This
did not mean that all people il left to
their natural drift would read wisely;
1t meant that many people If left to
their natural drift would by reading
be led into a right course of develop
ment. Clerks in the store should read
more. Let the winter evenings be
spent in self cultivation.

time and time again, in lessons famil-

in the downfall of Napoleon, one that
operated all the time from 1906 to 1914
was the absolute control of the sea by
his arch enemy, England. He was shut

his conquests from the easternmost
shores Of Italy along the coasts Of the
Mediterranean to Gibraltar, and thence
around the Atlantic anu the Channel
and the North Sea into the Baltic,
where the English could not assail him.
The genius of the great conqueror, and
the wonderful impulse the revolution
had given to his soldiery made him
master Of continental Europe, but he
could not hold it. Wherever upon the
sea there was a strategic point i'm his
conquered territory there were English
fleets, English diplomacy and English
allies, and these finally led first to the
downfall at Paris and then to Water

1t is not the man with motive, but
the man with purpose, who WINS
Dallas News. The tendency to say
terse and pregnant things like the
above is very noticeable in American
journalists Of the present era, tenden-
cy which is not carried out as fully as
1t might be in the heavy editorials and
the news columns Of the same journals.
The above saying, however, is one
which is worthy Of personal applica-
ton to business matters. Thus there
are many advertisers whose motives are
all right, but who have no well-defined
purpose in addressing their customers,
who always have purpose, clear, we'll
defined and settled, when the store of
the advertiser is visited. 1t should be
the purpose of every advertiser to
awaken special desires; to suggest def
nitely seasonable or desirable goods;
to show the specific advantages of
certain novelties. and, in short, to
awaken and inculcate in the mind of
the buyer settled purpose to purchase
the goods advertised, and no other.

Badly Fitting Stockings.

Seamless stockings are announced as
a novelty in hosiery. The necessity
that stockings should fit the foot COM
fortably, yet snugly, is not always APP
preciated as it should be. 1t Is as harm
full to wear n stocking too short as
shoe. On the other hand, too loose
stocking, which folds over, makes a
painful footgear and, it is asserted
by some chiropodists, is one Of the most
fruitful causes Of calloused spots.
Mothers, too, often ignore the fact that
stockings of different makes vary
greatly in size, even in the same num-
bers. This applies to the instep meas
urements as well as to the length Of

old stocking when buying fresh sup

necessity for them to abandon their
century old conservatism and to adopt
measures of internal improvement bas-
ed upon Western methods. What the
Chinese need is to have civilization
pounded into them, and the Japs are
doing that so successfully that it would
be almost a crime to stop them.

Out Of the deaths of the many who
have succumbed to smallpox at Mil
waukee in the last few weeks comes
life, or at least promise of 1t, to thous-
ands who otherwise must have died
from an attack of the dread disease.
DR.. Macmillan Herzog, Of Chicago.
went to Milwaukee to make a study of
the malady in the hospital there, and
now claims to have discovered the
cause of vaccinia and of smallpox.
The cause is not bacillus, but still
more primitive form Of animal life
called an amoeba, which lives as para
site on the bacillus or bacterion. Fur
thermore, he says the microbe Of vac
cinia is the attenuated form Of the mi
crobe of smallpox, and IL it be intro
duced into the blood IL so strengthens
certain elements of the vital fluid that
later they can get away easily with the
non-attenuated vicious form. DR.. Her
cog Is not the first to suppose that the
virus Of smallpox Is parasite on the
bacteria to which the disease Is usual
Iy credited, but he goes beyond all
others In announcing himself to have
discovered that "all diseases are due to
amoeboid bodies In the blood, and not
to bacilli." For instance, he says tu-
berculosis Is not due to Kochs bacillus,
but to little amoeba, heretofore called
n spore, living on the bacillus. He says
II is first necessary to get perfect cul-
ture from the disease to be experiment
ed with in order to secure the poisonous
parts for the incubation of chosen anf-
mails. which will furnish the counter
acting effects. In order to make a per-
feet culture the germs must be fed and
fattened, and he has succeeded In de-
yeloping a culture medium superior to
that used by DIR. Koch. He makes the
astounding statement fhat many Of the
vaccine points used in Milwaukee are
aduIterated, being impregnated with
croton oil instead of containing lymph
from the cow, for which reason people
yaccinated short time ago have fallen
victims to the disease. He rightly char.
acterizcs as Infamous brutes the men
who make this substitution and thus be-
come "murderers for less than five

The popularity of this brush is that
it is arranged on separate former,
