n fairly successful thing OF life IL they
are willing to pay the price for II. and
It Is considerable ct price.
The Bibles injunction. Work out your
own salvation" applies outside Of reli-
gion Just as well as inside. II means
that whatever helpful influence may over
take a person from outside, what one
really gets he has got to get by earning
It, and build his success out of his own
wits and efforts
The habit OF leaning upon some one
else Is fatal and that is a lesson that
needs to be learned early and practiced
all the time. When one has depended
upon a crutch for a while 1t becomes i'm
possible to go without one, and that kind
of people the world has no interest in or
respect for.
Success is something that one has to
prepare himself for. and that preparation
consists in making himself competent,
not competent for everything, but COM
petent for something. People who apply
for job and when asked what they can
do say they can do almost anything are
unconscious liars for forty chances to
one they can't do anything as Il ought
to be done. and Il Is only those who
can do things as they ought to be done
that are successful candidates for a posi-
tion.
Even in these times Of unemployment
Omaha daily bee., 1915-09-14

there are hosts Of people that are at
work and that are getting fair wages,
but that is because they understand how
TO do we'll what they are set 70 do. All
the inefficients are screened out at such
time and go to the poorhouse or the
bread line.
Yet. parentheticaIly. It should be
frankly Acknowledged that in seasons
when the pressure Is as severe as II is
now even men and women able to do
good work have sometimes to depend upon
outside aid, yet some even of them, II
they had husbanded their resources while
work was good would have been able to
-tide over this season of distress without
depending upon charity.
When all necessary exceptions have
been made It still remains true as a gen
cral principle. that valuable people are
not crowded behind the door when the
opportunities are passed around.
So that TO make ones self valuable Is
the first step toward success, and It Is a
big step. When we ask how much a man
is worth we generally mean how much
property has he. II is a more serious
question when we mean by IL how much
worth is there in the man himself; that
Is to say. how much is there in him that
Is of value and that therefore can be con-
verted into product.
A mans worth Is to be measured by
what he is capable of doing. A dollar is
worth up to the amount that a dollar will
buy; no more, no less. Whether II be
dollars or men. the same question applies
what will II fetch? How much can any
given person be converted into in the
shape of work. The answer to that ques-
ton settles his value.
When II is a matter of pick and shovel
the question asked of a man who wants
a Job is. how much work is there In you?
The test of his value is his muscle. How
much work can his Drawn be converted
into? That is a low-grade application of
our principle, but 1t is a fair application
and is the one that was applied in old
times when slaves were auctioned off at
the block. Worth was measured in terms
of labor. 1t was then and is now.
When we come up into higher lines of
service calculation of a mans worth is
conducted on the same principle. He is
worth just as much as he is good for.
Reckoning by the standard. some are
worth $1,000. some $4,000 or even $4,000.
good many are not worth anything.
That is all that anyone Is worth who can

plies also to children's clothes.

monia Leave for a half an hour and then
just stir them round with a stick. The

Stains on the hands can be easily re-
moved by using salt and legan juice. Put
little heap of salt on a saucer and
squeeze sufficient lemon juice into Il to
moisten II. Rub this on the stain until II
disappears. then rinse the hands in clean
warm water.
A Securing Mixture-Take one part of

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during the
past few years that it's treatment should
be understood by all.
Science has fully proved that Catarrh

requires a constitutional treatment.

often drive the disease further down the

 A report from the Russian foreign oiice categorically denied that there was the remotest possibility of any peace negotiations In the Hobbies of the Duma the proposal was dismissed as unworthy of serious consideration.
