HOW TO SUCCEED.

Successful men and women are usu-
ally those prompt and alert to lay hold
of anything or opportunity that may
lead upward. People of fashion are
eager and anxious to secure the very
latest. If health and strength were OF
less Importance than fashion, wealth or
position, there might be excuse for
less securing the most modern, the lat
est, or for not laying hold of the best
opportunity that would lead up to
good health. Your own personality,
whatever your station in life, is, or
should be, is sacred and important to
You as the personality of any other in
dividual is to him. Would it not seem
that self interest should prompt you
to avail yourself of every opportunity
or thing that might tend to keep you
well up at least in the race of life
with those around you7 You should
give your brain, your nerves, your
body, your constitution an even
chance to reap the benefits Of the lat
est and best In modern roads to vigor-
GUS manhood, health, strength and
long life. If you want to be success
full do not follow anybody. Read what
everybody has to say, do your best to
find out, then think 1t over and make
your own conclusions. Never let any
one get the best of your own judge
ment The man who follows some one
else either in politics, law. religion,
business, or medicine, propagates err
rors and fads. Because a majority of
people believe anything or say they do,
does not prove that it is right. Let
common sense aud the experience of
others guide you, not the name or the
position of the man to whom you lis
ten. No man is infsllible. No man is
great enough to have his word implic-
lily believed in. Do not become intol-
cradle. Be man in the biggest and
broadcast sense of the word. A man is
a being who thinks for himself If
you let others think for you, you are
not man, but an insignificant cypher
drifting as derelect on the ocean of
life, blown hither and thither by ev-
cry changing breeze. Do not be afraid
to try anything that promises we'll.
How can you know if thing is good
or bad until you try it. Any man
may fail at times, but by following
his own Judgement he must eventually
succeed. Try all things and hold fast
to that which is good Do not think
because one man thinks or practices
different from you that he is wrong.
Look at bis results If they are good,
it is well for you to investigate. Do
not become hypocritical, intimidated,
nor prejudiced in anything If you
want to do business do it in a bust
ness like way. If you want to be hap
Ply, try to make others happy. If you
want sympathy be sympathetic. What
ever you attempt to do, do it with
all your might and main, and you
will succeed and make a name for
yourself. If you have one little chick
try with all your might to raise it.
Some folks can't get up early enough
to set the old hen. They want little
more sleep and little more slumber.
That is the way with part of the world
today. Let us all do something to
better ourselves and make all around
us happy. Ginger Box.

Can we be our brothers keeper
And care not for alp
Can we be our Fathers children
And not share bis all?
Can we live the Fathers love,
Love the Son hath given,
Save as brothers, all help others,
Earth like joyous heaven.
Chorus
Wake, awake, o Church, awake!

In all the world His love unfurled,

Let selfish life be crucified,
To all, his blessings given,
His kingdom come, his will be done
On earth as tits in heaven.

Lo! their blood ascends to heaven,
Can we meet Gods "Why?"

means that the stables and other quar-

must be thoroughly cleaned. sprayed
with to 1000 solution Of corrosive
sublimate and whitewashed I'm the
course of week or ten days the quar-
tiers should be given another spraying

pected cows should be separated from
the we'll ones. and those that have lost
their calves should be washed out
daily with a i per cent solution OF
creolin or lysol. the treatment being
continued until all discharges stop.
Pregnant cows should be given q table

$1,000 BUSHELS or BUGS.

One of the most thorough bird stu
dents Of New England has recently
compiled some statistics that will be
intensely interesting to bird lovers and
should cause many who have been in-
different to the insect problem and
deaf to arguments in favor of bird pro-
lection pause and ponder. By careful
ly estimating the number Of birds
found in several areas in the Bay State
he concludes that there are not less
In five insect eating birds per acre
This means that on the 5000 square
miles Of area Massachusetts has bird
population or 25.SOO.OOO- On the a.
sumption that each bird consumes on
an average of 100 insects daily-and
this IL conservative-it means that the
combined force OF birds consumes the
huge total of 2.560.OO0,0OO insects
daily. Assuming, as this authority
does. that 10000 insects Will fill
bushel measure. the daily ration Of
this company of birds is $1,000 bush
els. This for Massachusetts. What
would the figures be for the country
as a whole?
