Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength Of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats 10 the best because 1t is pure, no

My first position was that of ezra nd
boy. bringing the mail from the post
Office and delivering parcels. During
this time / came in contact with the
leading retail and wholesale firms.
From this position | was shortly
afterward advanced to a stock clerk
in the furnishing goods department.
Three months later / received an adj
vancement TO order clerk. BY hard.
conscientious work / soon became suf-
ficiently acquainted with all the details
of the business to act as salesman on
the floor.
/ have only to receive one more adj
vancement when my plans for the
future will be realized. My experience
has taught me that there are two kinds
of men in the business world. Those
who are always on time and those
who have excuses ready for being late
The man who meets his engagement at
9:01 misses the chance that was there
at 9. The man who misses his train
lets the other fellow get the big order
The man who leaves his Office at 5:59
misses the opportunity that comes at

No matter how hard we try to shape

fate and necessity decide them for us.
OF course. the great majority OF US

actresses singers However / am OF

can in whatever position necessity
places US we can not help being happy
and contented.
The numerous large apartment
houses which are being put up in San
Francisco have given me an idea which
l hope i shall be able to carry out.
l have noticed that these apartments
make no provision for the children
and my idea is this: / shall buy n
lot near some apartments and build a
simple, artistic bungalow. 1t shall
have large garden around it. I shall
then go to the different apartment
houses and suggest that the children
come to my home for their play
| shall have everything that little
boys and girls IKE TO play with. In
the basement I shall have a place for
them to skate.
/ shall even have a nursery where
mothers can leave their babies when

1t is very hard for a girl o. Ii years

Rockefeller gave her one million dol
lars.
But one intention of mine is to travel
TO different parts of the world and
study about them. The first place I
would go is Constantinople, the larg-
est city of Turkey.
The reason why I should go there.
first. is because our teacher had read
us about it and it is very interesting.

also wish to visit their large churches
called mosques, one of which cost mill
lions of dollars, 1000 carpenters and
100 architects to plan and build.
When l go / hope to be able to take
with me some of my companions who
are also interested in it.
j also hope 10 spend the leavings of
the million dollars on books. and give

That is what / would do with J. D.
