"A dissipated employe, or one who
does not take proper rest and diver
sion, who allows pleasure to be upper
most in his mind. is not efficient. will
not and cannot be efficient. He is not
fitted to do good work. Perhaps he
may not realize this at first. His con-
stitution may be so strong that he
can stand late hours and other forms
of indiscretion for a long time, but.
sooner or later. he is going to be
either in command of himself or un-
der the command of his folly.
The wise employer is interested
not only in what his employe does
during office hours. but In his life at
large. He will demonstrate with him
if he thinks that his social life is not
what it should be. He will not and
cannot demand that the employe live
normally, but he can say to him. and
he will say to him. II your social
life or your private life is not what I
want it to be. l will not have you in
my business life
THE result of any kind Of dissipa-
ton is sure to show in business and
to affect ones capacity for work.

Who Is Lincoln Mcconnell?

Lincoln Mcconnell is the son of a
Tennessee lawyer and was early trained
in the study of law. At the close of
his college career he went West and be-
came a cowboy, but later returned to
the South, where he became police
man on the Atlanta police force. He
was soon promoted to the position of
detective, in which capacity he served
for four years, and still later acted as
assistant to the solicitor in the criminal
court for two years.
He has made over 5000 public ad-
dresses in the last twelve years, and
wherever he has gone he is universally
conceded to be one of the most original
and unique speakers before the public.
Don't make the same mistake twice.
If you missed hearing Adrian Newens,
you made great mistake; don't make
another by failure to hear Mcconnell.
