the man or woman with systematic men tai training and who enjoys average health. has Tour chances out of every five.
 'Secretaryships are perhaps the best apprentieeships for those ambitious to become statesmen and public men. The secretaries to Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers and bureau chiefs are in elbow touch with the most influential men of the nation every day. If endowed with diplomacy and courteous ways, and if wise enough to equip themselves with law as well as stenography, their chances are the very best.
 For the young journalist there are magnificent chances to rise in the pub lie service. In the first place his train ing sharpens him as perhaps none other can. In the second place literary abil- fty is becoming day by day more essen tial to the public man. The monster task of the government printer will em- phasize this point.
 T will give the American boy some notable examples of young men who have already mounted high on fame's ladder in public life. Representative Feely, who will come to the new Con gross from Chicago was barely twenty five when elected. Had he been but a few months younger he would have been disqualified by the age limitation im- posed by the Constitution. He is the youngest Of many young men who will make the laws of the land during the next two years.

 .eThe fruit should be freshly squeezed, two good lemons to a glass, Then the powdered sugar should be added and clipped, not chopped, ice. The whole must be shaken up well and the seltzer added. Then the mixture must be strain ed into a cold glass. Some like a spoon ful of clipped ice added to the top of the lemonade.
 Clam juice is a great favorite with some people. They drink 1t 10th hot and cold and eat crackers with 1t. Some business men lunch each day from a cup of clam bouillon and a few crackers taken at a soda counter. There is no waiting and no tip, so 1t saves time and money. On hot days coffee and choco> late are called for In quantities"

day for headache cures mixed In phos- phate and calisaya and soda and pep sin and peppermint. Headache cures and stomach regulators are the things called for the most frequently after the spirits of ammonia, which is a stim- ulant, pure and simple.
 There was a great run on calsaya and coca a few years ago, especially among men who were swearing off from more intoxicating beverages. In reality the calisaya and coca habit is worse than any other if it is carried to extremes Of late years the evil effects of coca as a tonic if taken in too constant doses have become more generally known and peo- pie are afraid of 1t.
 There was a mixture of iron, quinine and strychnine that used to be called for constantly a few years ago and was calculated to make the dead rise and dance If occasion required, it was so far reaching in Its effects Then there was run on bromos.
 "Valerian is rarely called for nowa- days. It is one of the old-fashioned reme- dies. Then there Is pepsin and pepper ment draught made up for indigestion that has a clientele,
 Society women often stop their car- riages on the way to an entertainment and will order one of these nerve-stead- iers. They don't care to take anything of the sort at home but they can always indulge quitely at soda fountain.
 "Seltzer lemonade made with plenty of lemon juice and clipped ice is a drink that must be perfectly mixed nowadays. There is constant call for 1t and it is needless to say that it is a far better remedy for a stomach out of order than all the drugs in the list.
 We can always mark the real begin i hing of the lively season in town by the call which comes In over the counter and from hotels and private cust omers for the various tonics and restoratives for nerves kept at too High a pressure.
 People who go into the round of

luncheons and dinners and teas without thorough understanding of how they must avoid certain forms of refreshment that are pushed on them at each new house will speedily become nervous and dyspeptic wrecks.
 Then take the vast population of peo- pie who think 1t mistake to go to bed early. See the throngs in the restaurants from 10 and Il at night until long after midnight Fancy the loads of lobster and oysters and game and salads and rabbits they consume nightafter night, for you see the same faces every place.
 "A nightly diet of this sort carries It's own retribution with it. Although to look about at the gay crowds at the tables one would imagine they represented the most robust and vigorous health, in reality many of this gay up-late crowd are keyed up with stimulants and nerve ton ics of all sorts fer the evening" It is a false gayety and excitement and has it's reaction.
 '@Fhe auinine pill is taken altogether too much. Every touch of cold or sneeze or a cough sends its victims to the quinine pill box and they get to boosting of taking large amounts.

 "1t is easy to shake off a cold if one is healthy and strong to begin with. The | old-fashioned remedy of inducing per- spiration by means of hot baths and hot drinks is still one of the best cures for cold A Turkish bath carefully taken is a splendid remedy for a cold, but there must be no exposure after it.
 People come in here suffering from cold, and there has been an epidemic of colds within the last few weeks and they load up with expectorants and pills and plasters and talk about their colds and we have to sympathize with them and listen, for the subject has a fascina- tion for them, 1t would seem. We mix cures for colds and sore throats which we serve over the counter 1 and during spell of bad weather we cannot serve them quickly enough for the throngs that come in in an endless procession for draught that will relieve their cold, or anyhow, will relieve their feelings with the idea that they are do- ing all they can for it.
 Egg drinks are very popular. Eggs are called for in milk and In bouillon They are dropped in the houillon raw and shaken up in the milk.
 "Then we make a sherry flip with one egg that Is popular. We stir the yolk of the egg with tablespoon of sugar until 1t creams; then add gill of sherry wine. fill the glass three-fourths full with ice and shake until 1t is all mixed thorough ly. Then 1t is strained into glass and the white of an egg beaten to a froth and added to the mixture, beating until served.
