ciers in the United States:
Formulas Worth Twenty Millions Each.

Mrs. Hetty Green is the wealthiest
woman in the world. Without capital.
friends or influence she has built mp a
fortune estimated ut $50, 600, 600 The
maXlms governing her business life
she has formulated as follows:
l. Invest in real estate: buy q house
for $4,000 that can be soon sold fol
$4,000
>. BE satisfied with a profit tho
proportion of which corresponds with
the size of the Investment.
,. Women are seldom successful in
commercial undertakings because they
! do not appreciate the Importance of
minding their own business.
1. Imitation may he the sincerest
ilattery, but the good of it all lies with
tho things initiated. Success is a
stranger to imitation. People with
money to invest should pay no atteu-
ton to the doings of Others but look
ON things from Their own point OF
Wow.
>. The goal of success is not always
reached by tho toughest road; the
path Is an easy ono to find. That is
why 50 many people miss 1t.

.. Learn to do one thing we'll aud
do 1t thoroughly
,. Ambition and common sense will
win success for any one along legiti
mate lines.
4. The really successful man is
made, not born.
.. Determination is the lever of the
great machine of life.
Practice Economy: Avoid Extravaganza
Mr.. ID. X. Parsons, millionaire.
philanthropist and patron of colleges,
says that the rules of life can be
summed up as follows:
]. Practice steady economy. Do
not spend until you have it to spend.
BE strictly honest and never take ad-
vantage of men. Avoid show and ex-
travagance. Use your money to edu-
cate the poor.
,. BE your own executive. Trust
no man to administer upon your estate.
You cannot carry out of this world any
amount with your dead hands. There
is no use for money beyond the grave.
EntrnppInE Opportunity with Capital.
Jacob Franks, who is reputed to be
worth 81, 200, 900, went into business
in Chicago, when nineteen years of
age, with the determination to follow
the ruie-saye money. His formula
