 Do something new or else do some thing old in a new way" was the sug- gestion offered by wealthy capitalist to young man who came to him for advice before determining upon a ca reer
 Tn the older and quite successful mans counsel there is shown a shrewd understapding of human nature, for are we not all seeking most of the time for something new or something different
 There is scarcely a business house of any importance anywhere that does not have someone on the lookout for novelties. And even if an idea is not strictly new it will pass muster nine times out of ten if it is presented in different way or with a changed ap- pearanee.
 Magazines and daily newspapers of fer many suggestions besides recount ing stories of women who have blazed their own trails and opened new paths in the old wilderness.
 Suggestions of what others have done, however. are not of very much practical use unless the women who want 10 do something of the same sort are absolutely determined to stick to what they undertake and even sticking is not enough; one has to work and work very hard to keep up 10 Ire standard one is supposed to guar antee.
 Moreover it will not do to mere ly think of the enterprise from ones 4ri1 mi al The public ill mind at all times and never offer ii what 1t would not ac- cept for ones self in it's place.
 For instance, foodstuffs, because our cooks cannot prepare them and We ourselves have either lost the knaclS We once possessed or have no time to spend in acquiring it, we often do without so what could be more desir- able than to have some clever, bright, energetic, ingenious woman right i'll your own home town do 1t for youY

 Mrs. Johnson has become famous through Mrs. Jacks Beaten Biscuits which are to be found on the table or the housekeeper in every home where delicious nice things are used.
 Now. Mrs. Johnson comes with a brand new food product.
 The name of it?
 Mrs. Jack Ham Biscuit
 Having heard that for sometime Mrs. Johnson had been working out solution of the problem. following the suggestion of the capitalist who advised doing some- thing new or else doing something old in a new way. and had evolved what prom ises to be a big innovation in the food market l dropped in to see her yester- day and asked her about the new Ham Biscuit
 Busy as she could be- I found her-al- ways busy she is, with so many irons in the fire baking, cooking, raising squabs, and dozens of other things and won derfully clever hand she is at all of these enterprises, I might say by the way, she stopped nng enough to tell me some thing about her new food product.
 T believe I've found something brand new Mrs. Johnson said enthusiastically as she placed before me platter of the delicious Ham Biscuit and bade me sample" them, which l did to my emil nent satisfaction, remarlIing that I had never tasted anything so deliciously nice In my life. For 20 years have been working to perfect something in the way of breads which nobody else has done and only recently have reached the con- clusion that l have accomplished what l had set out to do."

Physicians have sampled them and ad- vised them for the most delicate people. as well as a wholesome food for the stawlart man or woman. One biscuit is a meal in itself
 How do l make them?' Mrs. Johnson repeated my question after me. "Oh, that would be giving the secret away. This much I will tell you. however. The smith, field hams that | use are the very finest
