100 CENTS WORTH
FOR A DOLLAR.

BEING better dressed or more
appropriately clothed. having
more attractive furniture in
your house, living in a better
apartment, or owning a better
automobile than your neighbor,
doesn't necessarily mean that
you have more money to spend
than he has. 1t might, and
probably does, mean that you
are more alive to the possibili-
ties and opportunities that sur
round you
The same qualities of mind
and intellect which make one
merchant a shrewder purchaser
than another make you a better
manager of your annual ex-
penditure.
The merchant or the purchas-
ing agent of any big organiza-
ton knows all there is to know
about the things he buys. His
dollar is 100 per cent. efficient.
II some large organizations
conducted their purchasing de-
partments as LOOSELY and
thoughtlessly as some families
they would be bankrupt before
very long.
And yet there is really no
good reason why every individu-
al should not get 100 cents worth
for ever ydoliar he spends for
himself and his family.

That feminine beauty Is not a matter
of cold cream, cosmetics or athletics is
the opinion of Mrs. Walter Pomeroy,
Of Los Angeles. who has been chosen
to represent the state of California in
the worlds beauty contest to be held
in September in Brussels, Belgium.
Mrs. Pomeroy says that she has no
faith in he numerous popular SUCCESS
lions offered to solve the problem Of
how to be beautiful.
I'm my opinion, the beautiful woman
is not the n who may nave the most
perfect features. Even physical beauty
depends ultimately upon beautiful spir-
itual thoughts. Many women attach
too much Importance to physical
beauty.
Beauty is that which pleases the
esthetic sense, and we love q beauti-
full woman as we love a beautiful flow
er, but it is neither beauty nor money
that brings happiness. If I am beauti-
full, it Is merely the result Of circum-
stances. 1 grew In a beautiful gar
den and was protected and cared for

been surrounded by beauty and the de-
yotion of those who cared for me-"

From the New York Times.

According to Count Zeppelin's engi-

ton a dirigible balloon in which an at
tempt to cross the Atlantic could be
made without undue risk" That is
a decidedly vague Characterization, the
exact point at which risk becomes I'M
due being differently placed by differ
ent people. Still, q safe ocean passage
in a Zeppelin airship, or If not a safe
passage, a successful passage, is by no
mean impossible. and although what
may be called the mortality among
these craft has been very high, they
have no such grisly record OF homi-
eide as has the aeroplane.
The latest airship, according to the
dispatches, will be $40 feet long, and
each of its four engines is expected to
develop the power of 205 horses. That
is moro energy than many a big cargo
steamer has in its hold, and its aerial
possessor will be more than the stbai-
loon with a paddle" of a certain gree:

last spring, and this fall both young
people will enter the university Of

years course in journalism and after
that he and and his wife will lake a

The dread has now become a species Of

For a long time past he has done odd

to this man? Will he be any good to
me?"
For some years his American wife.
