Something Refreshing

in the form Of beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your system know that
it is pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-
ations injurious to health. Therefore
when you drink, drink OTTUMWA
BEER, which has stood every known
test for absolute purity and healthful-
ness.

Raw Salmon Pei.onou. to Dogs.

There is no specific cure for
salmoned dogs. In general an
ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure. Keep the dog away
from salmon, if possible, but if he
succeeds in poisoning himself with
this fish console yourself with the
idea that, whether he lives or dies,
he will never be salmoned again.
The percentage of salmoned dogs
which are cured is very small. Phys
ic of any kind in large quantities is
the most effectual remedy. 1t is
supposed that the man who said
"Throw physic to the dogs" re-
ferred to dogs which had been salm-
oned. 1t may be well to state that
cooked salmon has no deleterious
effect on dogs. 1t is claimed by
some experts that it is only the
blood Of the salmon which is poi
sonous to dogs. Others say the poi
son is in the head Of the fsh.-

HOW TO SUCCEED.


Almost every periodical published
within the borders of the United States
contains advertisement of firms which
offer TO impart information to young
men as to how TO succeed -
There may be a great deal of merit
in the advertisements and in the me-
thods used to give adequate return to
those who pay to learn the secrets of
success from those who advertise.
Those who have no money to invest
to learn these secrets, however, have
no reason to give up hope. Here is a
that was ever paid for:
The only way to succeed is to be sue
cessful.
Doesn't sound very profound, does it?
1t isn't. It's about as simple as any
thing that has ever been printed, and
at first sight it may appear idiOtic.
But there is a lot in it, The man
who succeeds is the man who brings to
a successful termination every minute
undertaking of every day activity.
The successful mans life is made up Of
myriads of successes.
If you let one little item of your
days work get by you without satisfy
ing yourself that yol have done your
best on it, you are heavily handicapping
yourself If you form the habit of
letting the little things slide, you are
preparing for failure. A million trea-
tises on how to be successful will not
help you.
The trouble with too many of us is
that we are so busy trying to see a
great success in the future that we
can't see the chances for little sue
cesses under our noses.
"T1eaven is not reached at single
bouni and neither is success. The
only way to succeed is 20 be successful.
It's worth thinking over. Milwaukee
