PLEA FOR sELF.RELlANcE.
Charles G. Dawes Good Advice IA
Young Men In Business.

This is a hard world in business. It
always has been and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men In it. There are many who will
lend helping hand to you in your ad-
versity, but In the time of need you
will not find them among the men
who tried to get you to embark in
speculation with your little surplus,
and to sell you something which
would help you to ''easy money" Be
self.reliant. Make your own investi-
cation into Investments. When you
cannot, put your money In good
savings bank. Distrust the financial
demagogues as you distrust the po.
litical demagogue. Keep your hand
on your pocketbook as you travel life
first, to give always in proportion
to your means to those who are poor
er; second, to hold from those who
would take through force or fraud
what you need for yourself and yours.
You will then, writes Mr.. Dawes in
the Saturday Evening Post, have your
hand where most of the other fellows
have only their eyes. In this alone
you will have the advantage Of them.

Was the citron tree the tree Of
knowledge of good and evil in the
garden Of Eden? Some persons think
It vas. In any event it appears that
"citron" would often be the right
rendering In passages where the au.
thorized version of the Bible gives
"apple." For instance, in the Prov.
CRIBS, "A word fifty spoken Is like ap-
Piles Of gold in pictures of silver"
And in the Song Of Solomon, GAS the

wood, SO is my beloved among the
