worth having can affect the good
of working hours.
The successful man never for
gets. He lays things aside, and is
more intense at one time than at
another; but his duty to his work,
and to his better self, doesn't allow
him altogether to forget his labor
when he is not laboring. His
mind and his hands are intensely
active while at work, and are not
sluggish when at play. True, when
he works, he works for all he is
worth, and when he plays, he plays
with the whole intensity of his be-
ing; otherwise, neither will do him
any good; but he does not make
such a specially of work that he
cannot enjoy diversion, and he does
not make such a specially of resting
that he cannot effectively work.
Many great achievements have
been easily thought out during leis-
ure hours, when one doesn't have
to work or to think about work.
Upon the open field, the ambitious
mind doesn't attempt to settle the
great problems of work in a hard,
harsh way, but the mind trained to
action leisurely does, while away
from the bench, what it may not as
successfully do while active at the
bench.
| am not asking any one to over
work, to keep late office hours, to
strain body and mind in an en-
deavor to get rich quickly, or to try
to reach success at an abnormal
speed; but am saying to you, my
reader, that if you would accomp-
lish anything you will not refuse
to think while at play and you will
not allow the wheel of your ambi-
ton to stop when the whistle of
labor blows.

PRACTICALLY every worker
has prescribed working
hours, when he is supposed
to give his entire time and thought
to his duties.
Few employers expect employees
to work continually overtime, or to
carry the burden of business into
their homes.
Every man should forget at times
his daily vocation.
Continual work, or thought OF it,
is injurious. There is, however, a
vast difference between forgetting
YOUR work absolutely and setting 1t
aside temporarily.
No man ever succeeds who drops
his work, or the thought of it, at
the strike of the clock. He may
ease up on it, or the thought of 1t,
but he carries responsibility with
him, and even goes to sleep with 1t.
He does not draw sharp dividing
line between working hours and
offtime hours. He feels the re-
sponsibility of his work, although
he doesn't allow it to interfere with
proper recreation and rest.
The man who is through at the
close of his working day is through
with the hope of success.
No matter how menial your duty
may be, if you don't think about it
when you are away from it, you
will not accomplish much while at
work and you will antagonize op-
portunity and dwarf ambition.
l am not asking you to overwork,
or to overthink about your work.
The mind and body demand recre-
alton, rest, and diversion; but bear
in mind that no healthy diversion
and no real rest interfere with the
thought of work, and no recreation

HOW TO PAY
CITY DEBT

Do the citizens of Tacoma want
to pay off their debts when they
come due or simply go on piling
up unlimited bonds with increas-
ing interest bills forever?
That question is going to be
asked of taxpayers who are all in
vited by the city commission to
be present at 10 o'clock Monday
to express themselves.
Freeland, Mills and woods are
for the refunding of water and
light bonds in serial form so they
will be paid off, so many each
year. The ordinance as prepared
by Judge Stiles calls for paying
of them until 1888 and then the
mayor does not want to pay them
all.
Commissioner Freeland has
called attention to the fact that
in the last 20 years provision has
been made to pay but $4,000.
At this rate he said it would take
545 years to pay off the lot. In
other words the people would pay
to cancel that old water and light
debt of $2,180,000 about $780,
100000 if it is not retired any
faster than it has been in the last
20 years.

John w. Considine, theatrical
manager, who is charged with Sid
Grammar, of the Empress theater,
with contributing toward an ex-
hibition offensive to public de-
cency, has not yet been arrested.
Grammar was taken into custody
yesterday afternoon and released
on $500 cash bail.
Detective H. McGrath, who is
on the case, said today that he
received advice that Considine
had gone to Sacramento, en- route
to Seattle. The local police have
wired to the capital in an effort
to intercept the magnate.

police that Grammar and Consi-

forced them to witness the per-

The social service board wants
the county to buy the Woolsey

A movement is on to make a

characteristics presented. 1t will
not be completed until the mayor

A Staple Medicine
for All Families
From Infancy TO Old Age a ReIia-

Needed-Try This One

Dlt ssiuIiy l4dAutitc Is NAOSt
Needed-Try This One
1t is inconceivable in this day
of general intelligence that any
family would be without simple
remedy for the minor ills of life
for often by giving such REM
edy in time a serious disease can
be frustrated and a life saved.
For example, if at the first sign
of a cold a simple laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin
were given the beginning of a Sc
rious lung affection or a typhoid
fever might be avoided. And also
in headaches, nervousness, ETC., a
small dose of this remedy would
relieve the congestion and re-
place distress with comfort.
Mothers give it to tiny infants
and little children, and grown
people take it with equally good
effect,
Thousands of good American
homes are never without it,
among them the home of DR.. Geo.
T. Hull, Prop. Hull Drug Co.,
Prue, Okla. DR.. Hull has for a
number of years recommended
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in
his practice and writes that "for
stomach and bowel disorders.
worms in children and a general
laxativetonic it has no equal"
Syrup Pepsin saves the health of
the family and saves Doctors bills.
1t is a guaranteed cure for any
form of stomach, liver and bowel
trouble, constipation, indigestion,
biliousness, gas on the stomach,
headaches, drowsiness after eat
ing, etc. Have no hesitancy about
giving it to any member of the
family however young or old, for

it contains nothing injurious to
the youngest person.
A bottle can be obtained at any
nearby drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar. The latter size Is
more economical and is bought by
those who have already convinced
themselves of it's merits. Syrup
Pepsin users learn to discard pills,
salts, cathartics and purgatives
generally as they are too great a
shock to any average system.
If no member of your family
has ever used Syrup Pepsin and
you would like to make a personal
trial of it before buying it in the
regular way of a druggist, send
your address, postal will do
to DR.. w. B. Caldwell, All Wash
