VALUABLE SUGGESTION TO OUR
YOUNG PEOPL| -cON
CENTRATE.

Don't spatter a pint Of brains over
the vast field Of art, science and lit
erature Don't think that a smatter-
ing of Greek and Latin, analytlcs
and college yells makes one a learned
man or fits him for business, and
don't hitch a business brain to a
Greek lexicon. Many a man becomes
nothing by trying to become all. The
shotgun uses much more ammunition
than the rifle, but it isn't half as
effective except on little game.
The professions are all over
crowded; it requires half a life time
for one to succeed in them, and
half 3 fortune to begin success.
With business it is not SO.
Get busy; do things Hfe's too
short for business men to spend ct.
fort on dead languages and other
things two thousand years old, when
living issues and golden opportunl-
ties are calling them on.
The things that business men want
you to know are not taught iii uni
| Versity. They must be learned in a
practical business training school
like the Tyler Commercial College OF
Tyler, Texas. A school that has for
years studied the demands of the
business world, and with its own spe;
cial prepared text books and learn
to do by doing methods of teaching
are meeting them.
They are this year adding a course
Of business administration and ii
nance for those who desire the most
thorough business training possible
/ Young friends, there is no. walk OF
life that you can pursue as success
fully without a business training q,

Trainina for The Farm.

1t may be of interest to all who
think that farming can be taken up
without special training to read the
following from Xenophon, who lived
about 800 years B. c.:
agriculture is an art that renders
those who understand it rich; but
leaves those who do not understand
it, however much they may labor in
it. to live in poverty =
Goods, he tells US, may be defined
as something that is serviceable TO
the owner. The same things, there
fore, are goods to him who knows
how to make use Of them, but not
goods to him who does not know.

part OF a mans goods If, instead OF
supporting him, it brings him moth

Washington. Aug. Republican leaders are of the opinion that the keynote of the Taft acceptance speech is his appeal to uphold the constitution.

 The asylum management keeps constantly on hand large quantities of canued meats and vegetables. These foods are supplied by con- tract and the belief iB that an iu- ferior brand has been substituted which does not come up to the contract requirements, as several cases Of illness has resulted from the use of canned goods.
 The putrefactive bacteria known as ptomaine is not always harmful but seems to develop a poison un- der certain conditions especially when uitroEeuous matter is closely confined as in canned goods and those goods are in a condition Of decay when canned.
 Yesterday the inmates or the asy. lum were given their usual diet consisting of vegetables and a quantity Of canned meats. Thaw seems to be the only one who sui fered from partakinE of the meat which resulted in an immediate at tack of poisoning.
