CONCENTRATION.

The men who manage some of the
largest enterprises of the world work
but four or five hours a day. and
younger men thus argue that they
need not work long hours to be sue
cessful. The point, however, is that
a man that can do his work in four
and five hours has gained the informa-
ton necessary by years of hard labor
and probably exceptionally long hours.
He concentrates his mind on the mat
ter in hand and turns it off in q few
hours, but he must have health and
strength to do it and for this reason
he will drink golden grain belt beer
regularly with his meals. It's the
best tonic ever brewed and should be
