Many OF the most distinguished lead
ers In the business, social and pro-

their children and what Is more, put
their beliefs into practice by finding
useful employment for them out OF
school hours or during vacations. The
average boy will find a greater Joy
In the money he thus makes by his
own efforts than in a much larger
sum given him for nothing.

A sign that the home if he CHANGED one
Was he'll upon earth for those he swore
to protect;
And the wife and the children If any
there be,
Half starved and half naked in that home

And with smile ON his face and poison

He deals out his potion 10 the youth of
