The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1911-11-30

At this season health officers are
warning against the danger Of pncu-
monia. Avoid everything that tends
to lower your vitality, which opens the
door to infection. The two rules are,
70 give the lungs fresh air in plenty
and to give the stomach good substan-
tial nourishment. The system at this
season should not be fatigued or de-
prived OF sufficient rest, as this quickly
lowers the vitality. With plenty OF
fresh air, good and suitable rest after
toll the germ OF disease will have
small chance to effect lod gment.

The editor sat in his hard bottom
chair trying to think of thought, and
he ploughed all his fingers about his
hair, but not new topic they brought.
He'd written on temperance, tariff and
trade, and the prospects of raising a
crop, and joked about ice cream and
weak lemonade, till his readers had
warned him to stop. And, weary OF
thinking, sleep came to his eyes, as he
pillowed his head on his desk, when
the thoughts while awake had refused
to arise, came in drops that were
strange and grotesque. And as the
ideas airly float, he selects the bright
one of the tribe, and this is the gem,
while dreaming he wrote Nov is

Learn to be short. Long visits, long
stories, long celebrations, and long
prayers seldom profit those who have
to do with them. Life is short. Time
is short. Moments are precious.
Learn to condense, abridge and inten-
sify. We can endure many an ache and
i'll if it is soon over, while pleasures
grow insipid and man intolerable if
they are protracted beyond the limits
of reason and convenience. Learn to
be short. Lop off branches; stick to
the main fact in your case. If you
pray, ask what you would receive and
get through; if you speak, tell your
message and hold your peace. Boil
down two words into one and three in
to two. Always learn to be short
The trade territory of a town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighboring trading points. The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents of
the town. If a town does not reach
after the trade it will come only as
fast as it has to, and it will grow as it
is forced to. But if the merchants 60
after business in the surrounding
country, advertising in every possible
way, and making good every word of
their advertising, trade will come from
an ever-increasing radius, the town
will gain reputation for being awake
and it will forge to the front. 1t is
the men in the town and not altogether
the men living within a certain num-
Der of miles from it that make the
town good for nothing.
