He may think he is making a favorable im- pression upon rival employer by this show of erudition, but if he only realized 1t, he is advertising himself as a grumbler, faultfinder, and an obstructionist whom no sane man wants in his business.
 If the young man entering business life will keep this motto in his mind he will find that in some mysterious way his worth is being recognized. He will realize that without much disturbance of things generally he is being advanced and that new trusts are being reposed in him while a lot of the "old timers in the business are remaining station- ary.

lt Pays to Advertise.

A theatrical manager was holding forth on the value of publicity the oth- q day and pointed his moral with this: "When the teacher was absent from the schoolroom, Billy, the mischievous boy of the class, wrote on the black board:
 "'Billy Jones can hug the girls bet tsr than any boy in school
 'Upon her return the teacher called him up to her desk.
 William, did you write that? she asked, pointing to the blackboard.
 "Yes, ma'am,' said Billy.
 "'Well, you may stay after school said she, 'as punishment

"BOOsT' AND DON'T "kNOCK."

BOOST" AND DON'T "KNOCK."
 The employe who is most trusted by his employer is the one who can be depended on to boost" the busi- ness. An employe may have his personal grievances, and he may be dissatisfied with his own position or the way things are managed gen. erally. These are perfectly legiti- mate sentiments and natural enough to every ambitious man and woman. But they are private affairs that cannot concern the outside world, and an employe who goes forth and .'knocks" the man or institution to whom he should be loyal isa sus- picious and harmful person, and he cannot hope to advance or better his condition in the fact of such a reputation. ..,.
 eRcently the postmaster general issued an order along this line that is worthy of perusal. It follows:
 1t has come to the Knowledge of the department that certain post masters and employees have spoken disparagingly of the registry and money order systems, and have mug gested that money or valuable mat ter be forwarded by other means than those afforded by this depart ment. It is hereby enjoined by post masters and postoffice employees to encourage the use of money orders registry systems. Disregard of this order or any disparagement of the registry or money order systems, whether by making unfavorable comparisons with other means of transportation, or otherwise, will Interfere with the policy of the de- partment, and be deemed sufficient ground for the removal of the of- fender.
 There is in the business world today a definite sentiment that should impress itself upon the mind of every man wno works for an- other. It is sufficiently expressed in current slang: eff you can't boost, >sdon't knock" What our great busi-

Itch. Sores broke out from his head

Itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
l called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. l had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day / commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and |
would have gladly paid 500 if could
not have got it cheaper. feel safe in

after cattle into surrounding counties
Into this reckless but verdant COM
munity there came the smooth
tongued representative OF a wild

at high salary to do a hair-raising

should appear to be thrown from their.
horses and dragged by the ;oot
After they had practiced in a corral
for a while one OF them loosened
himself anf rising from the dirt, dis
