GETTING A START.
HEALTH AND SALARY.
By NATHANIEL C. FOWLER, JR

i
Good health is not always a gift OF
nature. Like other commodities, it may
be acquired or earned.
Seventy-five per cent of our ailments
are self-made or self-induced.
Nature intended to start us in health
and to keep us well, and most of us can
have the health We want IL We will, I'M
less We are prenatally handicapped
Nature does her part, is forever giving
US health, and attempting to dispel dis
order. But nature alone can no more
guarantee good health than can glass
ware insure itself against breakage.
Business has not time or inclination for
sympathy. 1t is its province to make
money, and 1t cannot, under present con-
ditions, tolerate either indifference, inef-
ticiency, incapacity. or i'll health. It de-
mands the best there is in US If we would
, succeed.
II one cannot meet business require
ments in the main, IL will have nothing
to do with him, and will relegate him
to the scrap heap. 1t is just as much
your duty to keep in good health, IL you
can, as 1t is to be on time at the office
in the morning and to work faithfully
during the business day.
Your employer has a right to demand
health of you, as well as faithfulness.
While he may sympathize with you II
yOd dAG IEOIL SOIle dllTlenI
which you may or may not be RESPONSE
BILE. he cannot depend upon you, or pro-
mote you. or give you full opportunity
unless your physical condition Is up to
normal or strong enough to permit you
to do your duty with a fair degree of
efficiency.
Statistics show that poor health is
second only to dissipation and extrava-
gance as the cause of commercial dis
aster.
The physically weak man who takes
care OF himself is often better able to
work than is one OF robust health who
Is dissipated, extravagant, Indifferent,
and careless.
You cannot make a normal success of
business unless you are normal both
physically and mentally; your brain can
not do its full work unless it is sup
ported by a healthy body, and your body
cannot be in good condition unless it is
given as good care as that bestowed upon
the heartless engine or the nerveless
loom.
Late hours, Overeating, lack OF exer-
else. and every form of mild or other
dissipation predisposes one to physical
downfall, resulting in mental incapacity
and in the inability to accomplish.
To abuse your body is robbing yourself
and your employer as much as you would
be doing II you deliberately cast your
savings into the sea or emptied his cash
drawer.
Your body has been given you as
sacred heritage. 1t has been placed in
your care and you will be held RESPONSE
bic for it.
Health stands for comfort. pleasure.
peace OF mind. and prosperity.
If you are strong. keep yourself strong;
If you are weak, take all the more care
of yourself. Look upon your body as
not a mere physical asset, but as an in
vestment, to be husbanded and to be
protected more than you would the fam
lily jewels or the savings Of your life
time. You can lose money ana regain it.
If you lose your health, you may not he
able to find 1t.

Railroads,

The railroads of this country carry
more freight, and carry 1t further and
for less money. than anywhere else on
earth. They pay about double the wages
of other countries, and 1t costs much less
in other countries for railroad men to
live.
The government is constantly increas-
ing railroad taxes, and always eager to
reduce the price of parcels post freight
rates.
l fear that the politicians will go too
far with this railroad persecution. and IL
men like Mr.. Elliott quit. 1t will be school
let out for three terms.-From the Silent
Partner.

EVANSVILLE sCoRNs BLUE LAWS
Deputy sheriff Away, Sunday Trade
Goes on in Full Swing.

Hyattsville, Nd, Feb. 7.-Despite the
order of Sheriff George W. Hardy to his
deputy, Thomas II. Garrison, that the
blue laws should be enforced strictly in
Hyattsville and vicinity, there was no
apparent attempt on the part of local
merchants to observe the sheriff's edict.
The usual amount OF delicacies. cigars.
newspapers. etc. were procurable and II
anything, business was better than usual
Deputy Sheriff Garrison tonight said
that he had warned the local dealers Of
Sheriff Hardy's orders and that so far
as he knew, no violation of the laws had
occurred He added, however, that BUSH
ness OF a more serious nature called him
away from Hyattsville and that II any
one knew of any violation. they could
procure a warrant for the arrest of the
transgressor.

A copyrighted dispatch TO the New York World
from Cologne says: The American Ambassa-
dor to OF the belligerent powers said in con-
versation with the World correspondent who had
just completed a tour of Germany: We are going
to be cordially detested by the whole world when
this is over So far as the Fatherland is
concerned, any observant traveller through the
kaiser's dominions cannot fail to notice this de-
testation already in full bloom. 1t is so close to
the surface that it crops out constantly wherever
an American talks with German of whatever
class"
A private letter received in New York from a
British official says: at looks as if Germany was
leading the United States into the biggest mess
she was ever in. This is no time for neutrality,
although nobody here expected or wanted America
TO assist by force of arms. But if she begins to
hamper Britain on the instigation of Germany let
her look out. The Daeia has not sailed yet When
she Does she will be captured by the British. This
is what the Germans want They viii then make
a great disturbance in the States about Britains
interference with American commerce, and do all
they to get America into war with Britain"
The people of the beligerent countries are
constantly supplying President Wilson with the
best kind of proof Of the success of his brand of
neutrality.

Keep all things orderly within,

and they could read signs never seen by many

books The truth is that there are many kinds
of knowledge and that wisdom and training fire.

Suppose this policy had been followed hun
dred years ago. Many of the ornaments of our
