Here A Brain Expander by
Prof. James of Haryad.

You do four things and no
more. You think you remem-
Der; you imagine; you act,
When you learn to think better,
remember better, imagine bet
ter or act better, you are inefeas-
ing your efficiency, and therefore
your income. You may feel you
are very successful now. Sup
pose you are; it isn't a question
of what you know. but how bene-
fetal a practical business educa-
ton will be to you in addition to
what you already know Did
you ever stop to think that eight
five per cent of the men Of this
country are only earning SD per
week or less? That ninety-two
per cent fail in business between
the ages of 40 and 30? That
ninety-tive per cent have no
money at the age of 60? You
will agree with Us that to violate
part of the laws Of business
means partial failure, and to
violate all the laws means com
plete failure. You are also a
ware that to observe part Of the
laws of business means pratical
success, and to observe all the
laws means complete success
Our aim is to help you observe
a higher per cent of the laws OF
success, and, therefore, enable
YOU to be nearer the maximum
success. The late Prof. James
of Harvard declares that the d
verage man only uses ten pei
cent of his brain power. Sup
pose you are twice as capable a
the average man? Even tina
would mean you are only usin:
twenty per cent Of your maxi
mum possibilities. The pur
pose of our course is to produc'
maximum of proficiency with
minimum effort. The bushes

THE PASSION FOR
JEWELRY

The power of the human desire for
precious stones was well displayed at
the American Jewellers convention
which met at New York the past
week. Five tons OF iewelry were on
exhibition. The assembled delegates
were informed that the time had
come TO determine fashions In jew

years and seasons.

TRAINED MEN FOR
PUBLIC OFFICE

Universities were urged 10 estap
Iiab departments to train men io'
pubrfc service at the conference OF
universities held at Boston a ie"
DAVIS ago. It was argued that eN
merit knowledge is just as much re
quired for the civic official as for the
ciyiI engineer, the lawyer or the doc
tor.
Probably most people would admit
theoretically the correctness Of this
view Yet with the ideas entertained
bv n very large section Of the voters
Il is a difficult matter to carry ou'
the principle
In many cases It works this way
A man has held certain public pc
sition for say ten years He should
have acquired expert skill in perform
ing his work. Yet If some candidate
wants the job great many voters
would say that the new man should
have It. They argue that the form
or incumbent has had his turn at the
public pay roll long enough and that
ne should get out and let some one
else have a chance The fact that
the new man as the result OF his in
experience might perform his duties
in a bunglug manner detrimental to
the public service, is overlooked.
This tends to add TO the high cost
Of government, local, state and ma.
tional.
or course this is no argument for
indefinite retention OF positions by
pubic officials. Public services, lack
ing the incentive Of individual effort
are often run ineMclently Sometimes
If the work calls not SO much for
expert knowledge as for ordinary
common sense, new man brings in
new enthusiasm, and occasional
changes may be desirable.
But there IS a very large class Of
the public service where the public
ought to be educated up to tho idea
OF expecting and demanding trained
men who know their business and
who shall be rewarded for faithful.

GO AT IT

Above all things, face the world
with a purpose. Decide what you
can do and what you want 10 do,
then carve out a place from its re-
luctant cliffs your own niche and fill
it. A knowledge of what you want
the way to attain it, and the deter
mination to win are the steps that
lead to power. Indecision and vacil-
lation now mean loss of years to you.
During the years of your schooling
you should have learned to study;
now is the time to fix the theories of
school days in their relation TO mat
ter. You must do this before you are
forty or you will occupy a place in
the ranks of the mediocre as long
as you live. This is your commence

appointed, make no more efforts. Oh!
this has been the cause of many Of
the wretched failures that some have
made of their lives It's devotees
swell the number of our gamblers,
train robbers, house breakers and
murderers. They fancy that every
rich and honored man has attained
his wealth or honors not by any eff

turn OF luck in his favor; and con.
sequently has no special right to
them; and they will get them away
If they can. Their last act Is muir

Some men have gone West think
ing that their luck might cross their
path and win for them honors or
wealth. but those who go and are
not disposed to win them by honest
effort and constant toll or through

very much disappointed.
In a world like ours in which every
thing from the smallest particle OF
matter to the globe, every being, ey-

and unvarying laws, there can be no
spot favorable to the existence OF
luck; and he who expects to find one
will be disappointed. Her riches are
accumulated by the frugal, the ener-
getic and the clear sighted. Her hon

appropriate them to ourselves. Lab

here where the rewards of labor. en-.

our minds for the idea of luck. Luck
Is the product of ignorant minds. It
can ind no room in the minds OF the
intelligent and thinking. Labor is the
tree OF life, and success, happiness
ana hqnors are its fruit. The world
