SMILE BRINGS CUSTOM
PLEASANT FACE ALWAYS An A.
SET IN BUSINESS.
Experiments Also Have Shown That
Joy Stimulates Al the Bodily
Functions, Especially the Cir.
eulation Of Blood to Brain.

There is a Chinese proverb which
should be memorized and taken to
heart by every young nan starting on
9 business career, says H. Arlington
Bruce. .&aesl6sr.
1t is short and easily remembered.
Here it is:
"A man without a smiling face must
hot open a shop"
Applied specifically to the business
Of shopkeeping the little proverb may
be applied with equal force to almost
every vocation in which q man
can engage.
In one particularly interesting set
of experiments a man was required to
press a spring until fatigue paralyzed
his finger. This was repeated at in
tervals in order to determine definite
ly the average number of pressures
he could make at a single sitting.
Then he was required to press the
spring while thinking of something
extremely sad. At once his average
pressure power was noticeably low
cred.
Whereas when he allowed his mind
to dwell on exceptionally pleasing
thoughts he was able to press the
spring far oftener than when his mind
val occupied with nothing in par.
ticular.
Other experiments have proved that
Joy stimulates all the bodily func-
tions and stimulates especially the
circulation of blood in the brain, with
resultant improvement in the ability
to think rapidly and clearly.
Accordingly Joy must be regarded
as a body builder and mind developer
of the first order. If only for this
reason the man about to engage in
business should cultivate the habit of
happiness.
But joy does more than this. If it
is a tonic that helps a man to carry
on his business more efficiently, it is
also a magnet that draws to him
more business wherewith to demon
strate his efficiency.
Everybody is attracted by a smil-
ing face, and especially by the smil-
ing face that speaks e%loquently of
inward joy and self-confidence. Every
body is repealed by the gloomy coun-
tenance that testifies to self-distrust,
and hints at present or expected fail
r
In the one case people unconscious
ly say to themselves:
Here is a forceful, capable, genial
fellow. 1t will be pleasurable and safe
to do business with him. He can evil
IDENTIFY make good his promises"
In the other case their unconscious
comment is:
There is something wrong with
this man. Best keep away"
Gloom. to put it tamely. is a mar.
velous business killer. Joy is an
equally marvellous business winner

country's Salt Consumption.

Most persons, II asked which we use
the more of. salt or sugar, would prob
ably say sugar, but the staticians at
Washington figure that the per capita
consumption Of salt in the United
States last year was almost exactly
100 pounds, and of sugar 1914. The
statement is, however, somewhat rais.
leading. No. person could eat two
pounds Of salt q week and expect to
live. Much that is set down to the
per capita consumption is really used

Frank C. Ross is Inundated.

He is forced to admit today
that he made a mistake about
that property of his on Nisqually
flats, and he's mighty sore about
it.
For Ross was wrong when he
announced that his property was
open to any hunter who wanted to
avail himself of 1t, and he's dog
gone sorry now that he made the
announcement. .tE
It's like this. Years ago Ross
bought up most of an island at
the mouth of the Nisqually river,
on the Thurston county side. II
was nothing but soft mud, sbnt
Ross was quite a hunter ID those
days, and wanted place where
he would feel free to shoot the
elusive duck.
Time went on, and Ross de-
sire for hunting diminished. One
day a friend came to him and
asked for lease on the island

Both were going at full tilt in
a rehearsal of the scene when the
ex-champiOn gave Bushman sever
al sharp blows that could hardly
be called love taps" The actor
smiled at first, but his temper
was somewhat ruffled. Jeffries
rushed, head down, apparently
with the intention of making the
action truly realistic, when Bush
man squared himself and met the
ex-champion with healthy, full
sized right swing to the jaw.
Jeffries reeled for a moment,
and pitched to the floor. Il re-
quired several minutes and a
bucket of cold water to bring the
former champion to his feet.
