AMERICUS BOYS FORGE TO THE
FRONT.

In the world of business, politics
and the professions one finds on in
vestigation that the Americas boys
have forged to the front. In the
South, as we'll as in the North and
West, to which sections many of the ]
have migrated, they have been sue
cessful in holding their own against
all corners and in making good IN
whatever lines of work they Sc
lected.
The Americas boys have carried
with them two great winning factors
industry and character Combined
with these they have had native in
telligence and Southern grit and ell
durance 1t is a winning combna-
ton every time. Some of the older
ones were not as well equipped by
education as those of a later birth,
due to the exigiencies of their boy
hood days, but they have almost in
variably overcome obstacles, con
Quered difficulties and written in
large letters the word Success -
across their lives.
The achievements of the Americas
boys of the past and of a not very
remote past, at that. should be an in
SEPARATION to the boys of the present.
They did not rise by virtue of chance
or luck. or pull. There was no easy
way to fortune open to them, n
broad and royal pathway with all thu
difficulties smoothed out. They knew
what it was to struggle and to over
come, and to be strengthened by the
struggle. And because of this it is
found that they have become men
of standing, men of prominence, men
Of wealth, men recognized for their
sterling qualities.
Long would the list be, if it were
carefully compiled of the Americas
boys who have gone out from this
little city in the past quarter cen
fury and with nothing but their man
hood to back them, worked out ar
honorable place for themselves in
the world of successful men. And
what they have done the boys of to
day can do. But they cannot do il
by corner-lounging, by being conten1
to idle their time on the highways
by finding the chief enjoyment of If.

guzzling and aimless chatter with
frivolous girls. The boy who wants
to make his mark who wants to tax.
a position along with the Americas
boys who have made good, must d.
velop mo re character than these il
ane pursuits indicate. There is small
hope for the boy who looks upor
such enjoyment as the chief pur-
| suit, the main recreation of life Blu
! to the boy of sound sense, good judg
! ment, manly ambitions, the oppor-
| tunities open out as never before
opportunities such as the boys wht
have gone from Americas in formeI
years would eagerly have seized ant
utilized. Every year, every day, find,
| the world seeking, clamoring for the
boy who can make good, just as thu
Americas boys of former years mad

to decide whether he, too, will be ;

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIR. T. ]. ALLEN
Food Specialist
FRUITS FOR BREAKFAST,
PROTElDS FOR DINNER.

Every reader Of these hints
must be fully convinced of the
loss of health and efficiency due
to lndiscrlminate mixing Of
foods. The less mixing the bet
ter, the ideal being the mono
diet, one article of food for a
real, system which is impera-
tive for the invalid. All the
green vegetables are harmon
icus, but the best is lettuce.
Cabbage, uncooked, Is the next
choice. But there is no element
of food in green vegetables
which can not be we'll supplied
In apples, oranges, lemons and
pineapple, to which the break
fast may we'll be confined. For
the sedentary worker, during
the summer months the light
breakfast menus are particular
ly appropriate; bananas and
prunes will suit better those
who are engaged in manual
labor and can not eat before
noon after leaving home early
in the morning. Figs and raj
sins are also substantial foods,
containing every element of nu-
triton and much heat and en-
ergy in form easily assimiIated,
thus saving vitality. It is not
necessary to take eggs, milk,
cheese, or cereals with these
natural breakfast foods, since
the proteid elements are sup
piled In the dinner.
