AIDS TO SUCCESS.


1t is so often the case that success
turns on what might be called little
things. that it is wise TO look lightly
upon no feature of ones training, both
as to education and habits.
In securing a business education
let nothing be sighted Study order
and neatness and correctness with all
care. Go slow and sure until you
have systematized yourself in these
things beyound a doubt, and then let
there be no deviation. Let these fea-
lures be fixtures for life They repre-
sent dollars to you and more than dol
lars wherever you go.
These characteristics should be part
of yourself in every way. Your let
ters should be practically faultless in
expression, terseness, penmanship,
spelling, punctuation. and paragraph
ing. Especially should your penman-
ship be neat and shapely. Do you
know that you show to a marked de-
gree your characteristics in your PEN
manship, and the latter, with correct
spelling. has a wonderful bearing in
making a good impression Your
address should be carefully cultivated,
that it may be straightforward. gram
matical. well modulated, refined. and
respectful. Your attire should be
neat and tasty. You should keep free
from all questionable habits. every
thing that would waste time, means or
energy, or that would make you dis
agreeable to others. These condi-
tions met will. each and all. speak
volumes in your behalf to those to
whom you look for employment and
to aid you In various ways along the
pathway of success.-Business Uni.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
CONvENES TODAY

ATLANTA. Ga, Oct22.-Many ques-
tions of great Importance are to be
considered and acted upon at the an
nual session of the Georgia legisla-
ture which began today. Foremost
among the matters to receive atten-
tion Is the convict question. The
'present system of farming out the
convicts to mine owners and others,
which has of late years been severe
ly criticised. expires in April. 1904.
Several substitute plans have been
suggested, but as the present system
is a source of considerable profit to the
state, there is strong public senti-
ment in favor if its continuance. The

HARD WINTER FEARED.
Gloomy Outlook for the Poor Glasses
Of the British Metropolis.

LONDON, Oct. 22-The outlook for
the poor classes of London. In the
main essentials of food, fire and work
the prospects are the least hopeful
of recent years. Both coal and bread
are higher than they were last year,
but 1t is when the trade and labor con-
ditions that have to be faced at the
ouset of this winter are examined that
the most real anxiety is aroused
Lord Meath president, and Rev.
Mr.. Carlisle, secretary of the Church
Army, have authorized an appeal to
the public to help the army in its re-
lief work, in which the situation is
described as hard winter, when bad
times and general distress seem inev-
table.
The kings illness, with the conse-
sequent postponement and curtailing
of the coronation festivities, ruined
many and dislocated trade. This was
closely followed by the return from
South Africa of large numbers of
reservists, time-expired men who
were thrown upon the already over
crowded labor market. While the for
mer soldier does not drift into the
ranks of the unemployed he frequently
throws another man out of work.
The Church Army, with its large
system of labor homes all over the
country. is a most sensitive barometer
in such times Of depression. The
number of the deserving unemployed
turning there for temporary assistance
Is quite unprecedented, and already
overtaxes the funds and accommoda-
tions.
The board of trades last official re-
port of the labor department. which
has just been issued, tells sorrowful
tale of the general state Of employ
ment. 1t says:
The continued decline is now not
only worse than year ago, but is be.
low the average for this period in the
last ten years. Added to this rates
of wages everywhere are tumbling
down. The effect of recent altera-
tions in wages. when considered col
lectively, Is surprising. The changes
of rates which took place last month
affected 134 .997 workers in this coun-
| try, of whom LOT $50 had to submit to
reductions" l -
How the hard times have been
pressing on small traders may be
judged by the most recent bankruptcy
returns. Bankruptcies gazetted In
September numbered 1853, which was

SURPRISING RESULTS
Como From Treatment OF Mr..
G. E. Sebring, For Stomach
Trouble, by Dr.. larkins.

One of the surprising results OF DR..
e. F. Larkins' system Of treating di-
sease, Neuropathy, is the almost in
stantaneous effect that is produced IN
many cases. AS an example of this,
an article was published in this paper
some weeks ago with reference to the
cure of the long standing rheumatism
of Geo. e. Sebring in twenty hours,
performed by DR.. Il. F. Larkins when
he was located in East Liverpool
Owing to the prominence of Mr.. Sc
bring, he being the founder of the
town of Sebring, and one of the owners
and managers of the Sebring Pottery
company, this cure performed as 1t was
in so brief q time, has caused a wide
spread interest to be taken in Neuro-
pathy, and is filling DR.. Larkins' office
in Canton with patients from every
part of the state.
Another equally quick result was
produced upon Mr.. Sebring on Dec. 30,
1901. This was not a treatment for
rheumatism, for Mr.. Sebrings rheuma-
tism has never returned. but he was
affected with deranged stomach and
on the verge OF a feVer. Dr. Larkins
left his Office long enough to answer a
telephone call and go over to Sebring
and treat him. While being treated,
Mr.. Sebring became almost irresistl-
bly, hungry and excused himself long
enough to go and eat a hearty meal
before having the treatment completed.
When he came back :se laughingly said
that this beats all other kinds OF treat
ment, and that he was not the least
afraid of bad results from having
eaten so heartily, as he had sufficient
experience in Neuropathy to know
that his stomach had been made equal
to the task Of digesting the food.
Dr. Larkins is now making arrange
ments to teach his system in Canton
as he and his lady assistant will not
long be able to handle the increasing
practice.

When an experienced physician offers
