How you succeed is according to

think is according to how you eat.
Not always, but often enough to make

Success is the summit Of the noun
tain of hard work, reached by climb
ing the path of opportunity, which is
often blocked by the powders Of dis
couragement the gullies of self-doubt,
and the precipices of common mis-
takes.
Efficiency is a combination of hard
work, high aim, strong purpose,
logged determination, resourceful-
ness, keen ambition, power of deci-
sion, tact, knowledge, mental grasp,
and a multitude of other things. Easy
to be efficient, isn't it?-Hazen Conk-
lin, in the New York Evening World.
