BEER AS A SUBSTITUTE.
A Theory That Is Entirely without

or Physiological Standpoint

For some years past decided inclina-

that beer Is not harmful and contains
large amount OF nutriment; also, that
bitters may have some remedial quality

HABITS OF THE DRUMFIsH.
Stands Guard In Channels and Inlets
and Preys Upon Other Fishes
That Pass.

Drumfish travel in schools, collect
ing at the mouths Of bays between
Florida and New York. After disap-
pearing from northern waters In win
ter. they return early. and take their
stations close TO the surf in channels
and iniets where they can prey upon
other fishes entering or departing
from bays. The nearest point to New
York where fishermen seek them is
the rugged and forbidding entrance
to Barnegat bay. some sixty miles to
the south Of the metropolis. Owing TO
their habit OF living In inlets, they
get the additional names Of channel
bass and channel fish, states the New
York Tribune.

coming from their ocean bluefishing,

the great drumfish puts up a mighty
battle. Ranging In weight from 20 to
100 pounds and having powerful Jaws,
FMS and tail, the drumfish makes reels

other fish a1oat except the big alba

The chief value OF the drumfish lies
in the struggle he gives the fisherman.

Only fresh, spontaneous work really
counts. If you have to drive yourself
TO your task, If you have to drag your
self to your work every morning because
of exhausted vitality, If you feel tagged
or worn out If there is no elasticity in
your step or movements, your work will
partake Of your weakness. Make II a
rule, advises Success, to go TO your work
every morning fresh and vigorous. You
cannot afford to take hold Of the task
upon which your life's success rests
with the tip of your fingers. You cannot
afford to bring only a fraction of your
self to your work. You want to go to
It q whole man, fresh, string and vigor-
Gus, so that It will be spontaneous, not
forced; buoyant, not heavy. You want
to go to your work with creative energy
and originality-possesse Of a strong,
powerful individuality. II you go to Il
with jaded faculties and a sense Of lassi-
tude, after a nights dissipation or loss
of sleep. 1t will inevitably suffer Every
thing you do will bear the impress OF
weakness, and there is no success or
satisfaction in weakness. This is Just
where a great many people fail in not
bringing all Of themselves to their task.

bilitated energy and low vitality. with
