Looking through the Scientific

camphor tooth powder:

Camphor, one ounce; precipitated

The Manicure Ladv
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK.

r SEE where Mister John d.
Rockefeller has given some
more good advice to the young
men Of his time" said the Manicure
Lady. He has told them that to
make success Of the year 1914 they
ought to go straight ahead and make
a success, and make those happy that
depended on them. Wasn't that aw-
full sweet of him, George, to tell the
young men how to be successful like
him."
"Old John D. was always fond Of
young men" said the Head Barber.
II suppose one reason he likes them
so much Is because they are not old
and wise enough to be jealous or
suspicious or They haven't had
chance TO get the brains and expert
ence they would need TO give him
battle or take any Of his money
away from him. In other words, he
likes young men the same way a
big heavyweight champion might like
a featherweight.'
"IIe is too great and good a man
to be compared TO a prizefighter,
said the Manicure Lady. IT YOU
had all his millions. George, I don't
think you would be worrying your
head much about how the young men
OF the country were coming out You
would probably have a big stable Of
race horses and spend all your time
betting on them

Barber. II would do all I could to

err they were young or old. And while
you are talking about John y. Rookie
Teller and boosting him, I don't see
where that advice lie gave TO the
young men amounts 10 the paper that
it was printed on. What did he tell
them. after all2 He said to go
straight and TO make a success. That
is just the same as telling a high
school pitcher to go straight and get
Matty's skin and his salary in 1914.
And he told the boys to be honest
with themselves and with the people
that they were dealing with. | wonder
If he always kept that advice him
self Maybe he did, but l don't be-
lieve it,"
He wouldn't tell no lie, George"
said the Manicure Lady. He
wouldn't belong to church II he
told lies"
Maybe he didn't know that he was
lying" said the Head Barber In
the first place, kiddo, there isn't a
man in this world that has always
been honest with himself You might
find q man here and there that vas
always at all times honest with
everybody he ever dealt with, but
YOU will never find a man who can
say he was always honest with him
