How TO Win,

This is an age Of specialization. my
boy. and the only men who succeed in
a big way are those who pick out some
particular line of work and live with
1t until they get to know more about
1t than most other fellows. Concen-
tration, consistent and persistent effort
in one direction is the surest road to
success. You'll never win In a big
way-except accidentally-if you scat
ter your energies. The best steam
engine In the world would race itself
to ruin without its governor. Keep
your mind on your job. specialize In
your particular business and try to
know as much about it as the man
who created it, and, barring misfor-
tune, you'll make more out Of that
knowledge than you will out of any
chance success outside of your bust
ness.-Maurice Switzer In Leslie's.
