His air of assurance convinces people
that he has the power to do what he
says he will do.
Many OF our great inventors and dis
coverers have succeeded when all the
world was down on them. when even
their own families denounced them
Why? Because they never lost faith
in themselves. In their darkest hour
they denied the possibility of failure.
They stoutly asserted. iterated and re-

TRIBUTE FOR FRIEND
Of JADED PILATES
Philadelphia Hotel Men Collect Purse
for Widow of Cook Who In
vented Famous Dish.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Philadelphia, March 5-A final tribute
to the man who invented what is today
the most famous bit of cookery in the
world is being paid by Philadelphia hotel
men. who are collecting a purse for his
widow and two small sons.
The man whose culinary achievements
the hotel men honor was William King.
He died today at his home in this city.
Chicken a la King is the name of the
dish that has entranced the worlds cpl
curean taste, and like all good things. it
IS simple. King compounded the dish one
day twenty years ago at the request of
a waiter at the old Bellevue Hotel. At
that time he was an ordinary assistant
cook in the kitchen of the hosiery that
later was succeeded by the Bellevue
Stratford.
A patron with a jaded palate had been
grumbling, and the waiter asked King to
prepare some dish that would please the
man. King cut up the white meat OF
chicken into small cubes. He added fresh
mushrooms cut in the same way, truf-
fies, red and green peppers, and cooked
the mixture in cream. The patron ate 1t
lingeringly and lovingly, as one who
knew that he had met with a master
piece and then wanted to know who in
vented the dish.
"Bfll King" said the waiter. He works
in the kitchen"
Chicken la King" said the patron.
and SO was the dish christened.
Since that day It's fame has spread
the United States and for
eign lands. In every restaurant where
eating is something more than a neces-
sity, chicken a la King" holds a place
Of importance on the menu.

Where Your Supply Is.
BY ORIsON SWEET MARDEN

Quit looking for some outside agent
which will move your life train. Your
power is coiled up right inside of you.
There Is where your engine Is The
name Of that engine Is I. Get up
steam at once. Use the great force at
your command and forge ahead. You will
never get very far by any other means.
You are only losing time in trying to
get any power outside of yourself to
move you forward. When the Creator
made you a co-partner In His work.
He put all the machinery necessary for
the part you were to play inside of
you. Claim what He intended for you.
Develop and use your machinery. and
no Nower on earth can hold you back
from the goal yet set for yourself.
AS a matter of fact. every day has
a great prize awaiting every human
being. a prize which no money can
buy. which can be obtained only at the
price OF splendid effort, of self-con-
quest. We are too timid. too fearful of
results even to attempt what we long
to do. And We are too easy with our
selves. too willing to drift with the
tide of our moods. Every man who has
ever achieved greatly has been stern
schoolmaster to himself He has not
only necessarily affirmed his ideal. but
has also held himself unwaveringly
to its realization. He has dared to af-
firm again and again with undaunted
assurance, Il can," Il will
That man who dares not assert the
.I' with the conscious rigor and de,
termination of one who believes in the
divine power within him will never
amount to anything. He is a weakling.
This is a truth of psychology. We
see it demonstrated every day. The
man who has courage. faith in himself.
who forms his opinions without the
aid of others is not afraid to stand for
what he thinks. He does not hesitate
to differ from others. He is not a
much of concession" like the weak
ling who subscribes to what every one
he meets says. thinks or believes.
There is something in the very
atmosphere of a man who has the az
firmative habit. something in his ap-
pearance and manner that inspires
and wins half the battle be-
fore a blow is struck. Obstacles that
are constantly tripping up the hest
tating. the doubtful. the weak seem to
get out of the way of such a man.

GETTING A START
SIMPLICITY.
BY NATHANIEL c. FOWLER. Jr.


Simplicity is art. understood by the tx,
norant and appreciated by the intelli-
gent.
Great men are simple. and their tastes
are simple. They dress simply. never
ostentatiously; their watch chains. IL
they have any, are never large and con-
spicuous. Occasionally they wear a ring
but only one ring Their natural appe-
titles crave simple food. and not the rich
viands and the mysterious sauces which
can tickle only the palate of the epicure
who lives to eat rather than eats to live.
The great authors. those who have
written the living words which never die.
write in simple diction. use language as
a means to an end, not to make a dis
play of 1t.
Many years ago a then somewhat I'M
known man. by the name of Daniel De-
Foe. made a story out OF the experiences
OF a shipwrecked sailor and called his
hero Robinson Crusoe." For a genera
ton this narrative was read by young
sters. and it was looked bon as a chill
dren's book. Today it has passed beyond
the Juvenile class and is considered one
of the finest examples Of simple English
narrative. having a place in the libraries
OF the world.
Lincoln was not the only orator at Get
tysburg. Competing with him-if I may
put It that way-was one of Americas
greatest scholars: vet the simple words
of Lincoln have become an English clas-
sic. and millions of people can recite the
whole speech from memory. while the
words of the scholar are almost forgot
ten. and not one IN ten thousand Of the
men of today know what he said: In
fact. most of them do not know that he
spoke at all.
Simplicity lives. It's opposite dies
young. Great men OF every class have
been simple and their regulations have
been built upon simplicity. They not
only understand what they say. but they
say II so that others understand IT,
Education by itself does not produce
an educated man. Education is simply
one of the elements which 60 to round

zen, enabling him to accomplish better
results Education. academically speak
ing. is not necessarily simple. 1t is more
or less complex. Therefore, the educated
man of use in the world has mixed sim
plicity with his learning that IL may be
in condition to be assimilated
Not what We know. but what We do
with what VIC know. counts: and we can
not distribute either learning or expert
encc. or use them to advantage unless
We have prepared them to meet the ext
gencies OF the times. made them so that
they are of use.
The greatest leveling power in the
world. that which makes things good for
Is common simplicity mixed
with common sense. The two are prac-
ticaliy synonymous, for one cannot exist
without the other. Where they don't ex-
list. all the learning In the world and
all the experience possible for one to
obtain. are like so much gold buried be-
yond the reach of man.
Be simple. be clear. Don't swallow q

CANNED GOODS.

There is no use holding out against
canned goods and there is no need of
it If you will observe A few simple
rules there is no more danger in eat
ing canned goods than there is In
eating the fresh article. And there is
really great economy in having a GER
tain amount of canned vegetables on
the table.
Canned goods should be bought In
quantity If you wish to secure real
economy. A whole box at time Is
none too much for green peas, or to-
matoes. Especially at this time of
year, when fresh tomatoes can be
bought for a high price. and aspara-
gus is just coming into market, we
are tempted to turn our back on the
less expensive but just as whole
some timed article. AS a matter Of
fact the timed article is more whole
some than the fresh article at this
time of year. 1t is generally admitted
that canned asparagus is the peer of
the average stalk bought in the mar
kets, for ii is gathered when it is
just ready TO pick, and it is sealed in
the cans within an hour of the time
that it is severed from its root.
Authorities tell us that the most
expensive canned peas are not the
best, for the most expensive ones are
which, though tender, are not SO nu
tritious as the medium sized peas
which are usually sifted. or size 3.
Everybody ought to know the test
of a dangerous can. So much has
been said by way of warning about
the bloated appearance of timed
goods that have begun to decompose.
and should any of the cans in the
case that YOU buy present a bulged
look at the end simply send them
back to the dealer and insist on a
normally shaped specimen in ex-
change.
Too much cannot be said against leav-
ing canned goods in the tins. This does
not mean that they should be taken out
before putting away in the refrigerator;
it means that the minute the can is
opened the contents should be poured
at once into a crockery or stoneware
dish. But it does not always mean that
the Juice should be thrown away with
the can. In fact. in every sort of canned
goods. whether vegetables or fruit, it is
a good plan TO keep the goods covered |
with the liquor TO keep them fresh.

No more fumigatio in the tene-

DIR. Goldwater. out of his wisdom
along lines of public health, has come
to the conclusion that air and sun

worth considering. They are the

have his agents devote the time that
they would have previously spent with
the fumigators to a thorough use or

Dr. Goldwater is sure will be far
better.
