Then, the point is. If you employ

THE READING HABIT.

Written or spoken words are con-
veyances for passing along an idea
to the other man. If you spend
time in talking piffle or in CARRYING
idle gossip, you are wasting words,
killing time-and it is you for a
small job, small salary and lay
off during the dull season. The man
who attempts to monopolize an idea
and keep it under cover loses it, be-
cause we understand thing best
only when we have written it or
when we have given it away. That
is to say We never understand a
thing quite so we'll as when we have
just explained it to someone else.
Coming down to the work-a-day
phase of this problem-no man ca,,
afford to get along or try to 10 pus.
mess without the reading habit, and
10 man can afford to surrour HIM
self with employees who do not read.
The man who does not read does not
care, and he is not concerned to
know and understand the best in his
field or in his line. If business
concern employs enough men who do
not read, who do not keep in touch
with the ideas which concern the
things they are supposed to do, it is
only a matter of time until the rats
will gnaw such business down on
their shoulders.
In the acquisition of good habits
there are the Health Habit and the
Reading Habit. The man who has
the Health Habit usually acquires
the Reading Habit. Oswold tells us
the mind is flower that requires
strong physical STEM" The trouble
is, too many men try to succeed with
out the ideas of other men and with
out the assistance of a strong physi-
cal body to support a growing and
expanding mind. The man who reads,
investigates, thinks and looks ahead
Is always loyal and dependable. He
is dependable because his mind is
open to new ideas, and these ideas
are new methods he intends to use
In connection with his business, and
when put to the test "an ounce of
loyalty is worth a pound of clever
ness"
The man who has not cultivated
the reading habit is dangerous to the
interest of good business, because he
does not keep in touch with the new
est and best-with ideas that make
Tor economy-his methods are slow
and old-fashioned, his ideas are
crude, uncertain, unreliable and ex-
pensive. Any business concern is
largely a composite of the ideas of
other business concerns. Any sue
cessful man is in very great degree
composite of other men. There is
no such thing as knowing it all.
There is no such thing as success
without the ideas of others, and no
man con know the efficient, practi-
cal way of doing things without hav-
ing first cultivated the reading habit
Through the reading habit, through
: the exchange of ideas, we have evol-
we'd more economic methods in every
thing from laying brick to weaving
fabrics of the finest silk. Through
