A T last, after much WEAKNESS Of
n minG and spirit the American
- - boy has a Job. He IS 16 years
old, and has been taken into the cloak
and suit trade His first work is to
button the shirtWaists on the models.
In the evening Of the first day some
body says TO him;
We'll, Reginald, how do you like
your job2'
aid answers; but they don't know how
70 run the business"
This shows that Reginald must have
g wonderful mind TO be able to see so
much by the end Of the first day.
In one style and another there are
probably millions OF Reginalds in all
kinds Of business. After one day on
the Job they are convinced that the
firm does not know how to run the
business
Well let us wish Reginald Cod
speed, and leave his case in his own
hands. We want TO learn what the
American boy must do to advance from
his first job.
Many young men who enter a new
business declare, at least to themselves,
that It needs TO be reorganized- The
young man, being q little troubled with
his sight, fails tc see that he is the
proposition 70 be reorganized- This
leads US to fact No. l.
l. When the American boy gets into
business his first care must be 10 learn
his own Job so thoroughly that he is as
sure Of IL as he IS Of the spelling OF
his own name
Then we can set out after fact No. 2
g He must be keen about work This
means he must hunger for work and
tzirss for work, look for work and beg
for work. He must keep everlasungly
at work.
He must realize that any job to which
he IS asst gned IN the beginning could
be done by 10000 other boys. There
IS great competition Outside the door
are these thousands waiting for his
place. Hence, he must be so industrious
that he gets acquainted with fact No. g..
8. He must specialize his job until he
gets in down so fine that very few, II
any. Of the 10000 waiting outside can
do II as well as he can.
To succeed in bringing himself to this
point of excellence, the American boy
will discover that some qualities, gen
orally called common ones will be his
ever present help and mainstay. To
memorize these so that he can say
them as promptly as a brakeman calls
the names Of the station viii cOnst-
tute fact No. 4.
4. The great helps in beginning bust
ness are industry, prOmptness, atten-

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by CareIessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by micrObe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else. No
matter how Clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with mi
crObess which viii infect your scalp. It
Is far easier TO catch hair microbes than
II IS TO get rid OF them, and a single
stroke Of an infected comb or brush
may well lead to badness. Never try
on anybody else's hat Many a hat
band is resting place for microbes.
II you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or
badness, we have a remedy which we
believe viii completely relieve these
troubles. We are so sure Of this that we
offer II to you with the understanding
that it Will cost you nothing for the
trial If It does not produce the results
we claim. This remedy is called Rexall
80 Hair Tonic We honestly believe
II to be the most scientific remedy for
scalp and hair troubles, and we know Of
nothing else that equals IT for effective
ness, because of the results it has pro-
duced in thousands Of cases.
ReXau "93" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruf, restore natural col
or when its loss has been brought about
by disease, and make the hair naturally
silky, soft and glossy. 1t does this be-
cause II stimulates the hair fOllicles,
destroys the germ matter, and brings
about a free, healthy cirCula ton Of
blood, which nOurishes the hair roots,
causing LAelu TO UBlLeu ana grow new
hair. We want everybody who has any
trouble with hair or scalp to know that
we think that ReXau "93" Hair Tonic
is the best hair tonic and restorative in
existence, and no one should scott at or
doubt this statement until they have put
our claims to a fair test. with the un-
Outstanding that they pay US nothing
for the remedy If 1t does not give full
and complete satisfaction in every par
ticuIar. Two sizes, 80 cents and S1.O0.

PLAZA COCO GRASS
BEING ELIMINATED
The Worst Pest Known For
Grass Came From the
Canal Bank

Coco grass, which is bothering park
commissioner Robert =. Harris BY its
presence in San JacintO plaza, is hard
er TO get rid Of than a bad reputation.
The park commissioner is having the
grass pest sifted out Of the soil, burned
and Quicklime thrown over the remains
after it has been buried ten feet in
the. ground The grass is pronounced
to be one Of the worst pests that is
known. The agriculture department
says that the only way it can be killed
is to get all of the seeds and nuts out
Of the soil where it has grown. and
light out Of it and prevent It from
growing. The department also recon-
mends q clover covering.
The soil in San Jacinto plaza is being
stfted through a one-fOurth inch wire
mesh, in order to get all Ofthe nuts and
seeds out Of It, and the refuse from the
sitting process is being hauled away
and burned in trench, after which
the Quicklime IS being sprinkled over
It, to kill all possible vegetable life
This work, park commissioner Har-
Tis SAYS will not cost $1,000 as It IS
being done by his regular force Of Mex
lean park employees, in charge Of a
native foreman The work Of fIfppfu q
out the Objectionable grass was start
ed three weeks late, he says. because
Of the Statehood Jubilee, which pre-
vented it being torn up at that time.
Mr.. Harris SAYS the coco grass was
brought to the park with the soil from
the canal bank, when it was filled the
last time. He says that the coco grass
has been growing on the canal banks
for some time, and that 1t was prob
ably washed down from the upper part
Of the Rio Grande, in the form of the
grass nuts. 1t is not a native Of this
country.
As soon as the work is completed in
San JacintO plaza, the park commits
sioner is planning to begin work on
Cleveland square. The terraces will be
slOped back and regarded, as they were
badly trampled during the band con-
certs last summer.

Business Advancement Of
the American Boy
By THOMAS TAPER.

ton, appearance, habits, manners and
speech
BY the time the American boy has
these four facts in regular working or
der. there will not be one person
waiting out on the sidewalk who could
possibly begin to do his Job the way he
has learned to do IT himself. He is
then master Of the situation
What ueZt2
Fact No. 5.
8. He can now do his work so mas
terfully that it is too easy for him He
wants something harder, something
that taxes his mind, takes more out Of
him and puts more into him
He applies then for harder 1oO-
Does he get it,
Having made himself master Of one
kind Of work, the chances are that he
will have discovered ways and means
for getting what he wants because OF
fact No g.
g. Business men are very slow to let
anyone 90 who has proved himself a
hustIing, thoughtful, efficient worker.
OF course, It depends a little on the
business man, but not much, for few OF
them are so foolish as to dismiss one
who shows the qualities we have pre-
scented here to the American boy
Efficient service is the rarest thing in
the business world Many positions are
constantly open, some Of them with
thousands OF dollars salary, waiting
for a man TO come along whose creed
Of work is that expressed by the Iacts
we have discovered
ANY American boy can succeed and
keep on advancing who makes up his
mind:
1. To get skill and knowledge out Of
all the work he does
.. To work industriOusly.
8. To do his work so well that no
one can do it better.
T. To keep ever before him the com
mon helps
Industry, promptness, attention, ap-
pearance, habits, manners and speech.
Then everything he wants will begin
to move toward him-not toward the
man waiting on the sidewalk.

At nOOns there being no news from
the searching parties, the mayor au-
thOrfzed a general fire alarm, and call
ing the men to the corner Of Main and
Greggs streets a crowd soon collected.
1t was then announced from a nearby
wagon both in Spanish and English
that the local lodge Of Elks would
offer a reward OF 800 for the finding
Of the missing man either dead or
alive.
With the incentive Of the reward to
spur them on, soon every man and boy
possessing a saddle horse began the
search, while those who were not able
to get mount, started on foot o
search the vacant houses and barns
about town. Several parties went out
on the various reads to the mountains
in carriages, and Col W. A. Fleming
Jones, with his touring car, made a
thorough search of the valleys near

devoted his own time and that Of his

associated with Martin Lehman as
personal friend, the death Of Mr.. Lob

mer business partner as Democratic
candidate for county treasurer may
have affected him, as it was rumored
that the major anticipated a position

has been nearly frantic with fear and
worry over the fate Of her husband.
