You Cannot Win.

1t is pointed out by an Eastern
editor, who probably tried it while
sowing his wild oats, that young
man ought to know that hecannot be
up late nights abusing his stomach
and be in good shape for business the
next day. There is too much com.
petition in this world, and especially
in the pushing west, for a man to
abuse his head and succeed. A
young man may be popular for the
time being, but when his money is
gone and he has lost his job, his old
friencs soon drop him. When a man
boozes his mental faculties are notin
shape to compete with men who do
not iniure themselves.
An employer OF labor said recently
that the young man who gets the
sleep his system needs, is temperate
in his habits, lives within his means
and shows up for work in the morn
ing with clear eye and active brain
that is the man business men are
looking for. They want employees
they can trust, Having worked hard
and laid by a competence they want
to throw some OF the burdens off,
and they won't throw them off on
the employe who is too much OF a
good fellow"
Cut it out, boys. There's nothing
in it. There's a whole lot OF non
sense in that good fellow business.
You can't fool the public very long
by living beyond your means and
keeping up appearances. There must
be a showdown some time or other,
and that means loss OF self respect
and many bitter experiences. All
men will think more of you il pou
hold yourself in and don't try to live
wine existence on beer income.
Many bright and promising bust
ness man has failed, because he tried
to travel in too swift class.
Whereas had he lived within his
means he might have become high
ly successful merchant.
The world doesn't give it's treas
ures easily. 1t isn't in the cards for
all OF US to be millionaires, and
mighty few OF the good fellows" get
into that class. 1t is better to earn
your way first and go hunting for
good things when you have reached
the point where you can spare both
the time and the money. Then, pos
sibly, you have more sense and have
a different notion about what good
time is.-Davenport Republican.

CHARLIE HILLETT'S
LEGS ARE NOW STRAIGHT
One Of Dr.. LOrenz'S Patients Has
Plaster Cast Taken Off.

Eieven-year-o Charles Willett will
extend a cordial welcome to DR.. Adolph
Lorenz, if the distinguished Austrian
surgeon comes to Washington this week
to attend the meetings OF the American
Surgical Association.
Charles Willett is the little patient
upon whom DR.. Lorenz operated for
club feet when he visited Washington
in December Yesterday morning Dr. J.
Ford Thompson. assisted by DIR. E. L.
Mason and DR.. J. H. Holland, removed
the plaster casts from the boys feet
at the Children's Hospital, and found
that bloodless surgery worked a com
plete cure.
Before DR.. Lorenz treated the child's
feet they were so crooked that he walk
ed only with great effort. Now they
are as straight as the feet of other
children, and are in such perfect con-
dition that 1t is likely that the sur
geOns Will not find 1t necessary to place
them in casts again
The boy will not be allowed to walk
until after next week. He will appear
before the American Surgical Associa-
ton next Tuesday. and it is hoped that
DR.. LorenZ will be present before that
body to discuss his marvellous cure with
the leading surgeons Of the United
States. After the child has appeared
before the surgical association it is
likely that he will be allowed to walk
with his feet untrammeled by casts.
No Precautions Necessary.
1t was thought until the doctors ex-
amined the child's feet that it would be
necessary to incase them again to in
sure that they will not again go back
into their former shape. The feet, how
ever, are in such excellent condition
that further precaution may not be
necessary.
They don't hurt Bit the little pa
tient remarked joyfully yesterday morn
ing as he proudly held up the small feet
which have been incased in plaster since
December. All the children in the ward
where the convaIescents live at the
Children's Hospital gathered around the
little patient and shared his joy at being
free of the heavy weight he has dragged
about the hospital for months.
Charles is eleven years old, but small
for his age He Is an unusually active
child. and has walked almost constantly
since his feet were operated on. Ee
played about the hospital grounds and
used his feet SO much that the two-inch
thickness of plaster and bandage on the
bottom of his feet was worn through on
the bottom and let part Of the soIes
of his feet touch the ground.
Dr.. Lorenz's Method.
When DR.. Lorenz treated the little
fellows feet at Providence Hospital last
December he kneaded them between bags
of sand and tore all of the muscles and |
ligaments loose from the bones, which |
were held in an unnatural position. At I
ter the feet had been made plant DR..
Lorenz and his assistant, DR.. Mueller,
worked them into normal shape and re-
strained them in the casts.
Eileen Callahan, the little girl upon
whom Dr. Lorenz operated at Providence
for congenital dislocation OF the
hip, is still wearing the cast which was
placed or her by the Austrian surgeon
and his assistant. Until this is removed
1t will be Impossible to tell whether her
deformity has been cured.
