BE READY FOR OPPORTUNITY
Let the Puhllc Know What You Have
to Ssll-Never Stop Pushing
A Hint for the
Clerks.

Pluck.
How often you hear one business
man say Of another who has been sue
cessful: "Ain't he lucky?" Luck has
nothing to do with anyone's success
1t is pluck
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner. With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, a man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness in their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-
iasm.
A possession that is better than any
thing else to a man is that determina-
tion of character known as pluck, and
an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed
To persevere against great odds
and TO make a victorious fight in the
face Of almost impossibilities, it re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
TO cultivate pluck one must encour-
age steadfastness OF purpose. When
thing is begun it should be fin
ished
The trouble with most of us is not
so much that we have hard row

POWER FROM ELECTRIC EAs.
Result of Recent Experiments by a
Venezuelan Scientist.

Prof de Esperando head Of the gov.

trio eels captured and copper wire en-
circled around their necks just below
the ears and then connected them
with motor, the cells remaining in
the river near the shore.
Their violent Hopping and contor!
tions proved a most uncertain sort Of
electric current, so he procured an
other hundred and put them into
zinc bath which he had in his house
and connected it with the motor and
found that they produced about 20
horse power. With this he ran a mill
and lighted up his house and grounds.
The power from each eel suficed to
produce IS candle incandescent lights.
Prof de Esperanto also has found
that a motor car can be run for "a
hours with 100 cells in a tank three
feet long and one and one-half feet

He held folded paper in his hand;

She disappeared a moment, and re-

A DOCTOR SAYS
Grape Nuts Food Contains All the

There was a time when doctors de-
pended almost entirely on the use of
drugs in treating disease. That day Is
happily past, and our doctors Of today

learned that proper food is most inn
portant in healing disease. A practicing
physician IN New York City says:
Disease Is often an effort of Nature
to get rid of impurities in the system
as the result Of Incorrect habits

ought to and can be removed by right
living and right thinking.
