BY-PRODUCTS

Both the meat trust and the oil trust can point to a time when meat and oil were much more costly than they are now. They use this fact to prove that the trust has cheapened the cost of living; but what it really means is that they have found out how to use the by-products, and they make more money out of these than they do out of meat and kerosene. Now the beef trust util- izes everything but the squeal, and the oil trust uses everything but the smell-and they may find ways to use even these.
 That idea of using the by-products is getting into pretty general use, and the world is i'm menseIy better for it. It was a great waste of wealth when the horns and the hoofs and the bones were thrown away, and when it even cost money to get them out of the road. Now every bit is used, for one purpose or another, and the meat trust makes large profits on what used to be waste. The example is worth emulating, for there are thousands of ways in which waste can be turned to profit.
 For instance, did you ever stop to think of the potential value of the by-products of your time i? You work for living, of course, if you deserve to live, and that takes say, eight hours out of the twenty-four. That leaves sixteen hours. Out of that you sleep, say, seven hours, and that leaves nine hours. You probably take less than an hour for your three meals, but allow two hours. That leaves seven hours. What do you do with those precious seven hours that are yours to do with as you please?
 These extra hours in your day are, unless you are greatly different from the average mortal, very much like the horns and hoofs that used to be thrown away-wasted. The beef trust found profitable use for the horns and hoofs; don't you think it possible that you might find profitable by-products in those seven valuable hours that are left out of your day?
 Just for test, analyze one of your days and find what you do with those seven hours. You use them in some way of course; but do you make use of them?
 For instance, just think what you could do with just single one of these hours every day by devoting it to reading good books, books that will broaden and uplift and inspire; books that will give you new and wider and more delight ful outlook upon life books that will provide culture and knowledge and that will help make life more worth living. Just an hour out of this spare seven used inteligently every day, would in the course of year enable you to digest a wide variety of books worth while.
 That is just one way of utilizing the by-prod- ucts of your time. There are many others that will occur to you. In the summer you can make a garden, or study some natural science like bot any or geology that will bring you in contact with the glorious out-of-doors. You can put in an hour or two walking in the country to freshen you up for your days work. If your system lacks tone, don't go to the drug store; set apart fifteen minutes day to physical exercise in the fresh air. If you have taste for painting or drawing or writing, take an hour or two of your spare seven, and cultivate that taste.
 If you plan your day wisely you will utilize the by-products of your time; thus you will find that there is much more in life than you had sus- pected, for you will find time to look about you and see how glorious and full of opportunity and interest it is. Remember the old saying: "Lost Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, a igolden hour, set with sixty diamond minutes No reward is offered for it is gone forever'' Don t use all your time in working, sleeping and eat ing; that makes you little better than a vegeta- ble. Use some of your time to discover your mind and soul, and then develop them. You can t be all you ought to be unless you do Develop the by products of your time.
