DRUNKENNESS IN RUSSIAN ARMY.

Owing to the prevalence Of drunken.
ness in the Russian army it has been
decided to abolish the traditional gift

days and replace it by glass Of eau.

Gen. Keppen affirms that 70 per
cent. OF the crimes committed by sol
dicrs are done when under the infiu-
ence Of alcohol. Another authority
goes as far as 95.4 per cent Twelve

One regiment alone spends over $4,000
rubles annually on vodka. If this is
replaced by wine private people will
get the benefit of the change. But as
one general remarked: You can no
more teach a Russian soldier TO do
without vodka than you can teach a
duck not to swim" So there Is little

Heart toHeart
Talks.
BY EDWIN A. NYR..
TIE POWER WITHIN.

Tired Of the stories of successful
men?
Well. here is the outline of one about
a successful girl
Ten years ago Mabel Sturtevant OF
Brookfield. Mo-, was an ordinary school.
girl of sixteen.
That is to say. she was in appear
ance an average girl of rather poor
farmer folks. But she had a tremen-
dous desire to make something of her
self
Largely by her own efforts she went
through the University Of Missouri,
winning all sorts of prizes for scholar
ship, by the way. She also studied law
and was admitted to the bar.
Which attachments would satisfy
most girls desiring to distinguish them
selves.
But last year Mabel Sturtevant won
the browning triumph. She was award
ed the Braun prize as the best student
of the universities Of America and
Europe.
Won by a girl, mind you, self
made" over all the young men.
That victory gives her about $1,000
year to be used in travelling and OBJ
serving the educational systems of the
world
And now this farmer girl Of Mis-
souri, has started on her tour of the
world, one of the most distinguished
women In the world Of education.
Bow did she do it?
Just as any man would succeed along
the same line-by ability for study and
determination to win.
Thanks to our coeducational system
"a system less than fifty years old
this girl had the same chance to edu-
cate herself as any boy.
And she relied on herself
That tells the story. You can edu-
cate yourself only by yourself, of your
self and for yourself
Modern psychology has revealed the
will. The desire to do, persistentiy
kept, backed by the will to do. gives
the power to do.
Miracles aside. the mysterious and
wonderful power within you can do
anything you want to do.
1t is the power within. mind you.
And just here is the mistake OF the
girl or boy who says: 81 have no
chance. There Is no one to help me-"
Mabel Sturtevant had no better op
| portunity than other girls OF poor par
entage. She had no one TO help her.
She helped herself
And that is what you must do, my
girl or boy.
