LET IT SLIP AND WAS
 RUINED FOR LIFE

Whats the matter? Why are you letting this opportunity slip through your fingers Don't you know that out there in the hustling business world opportunity is calling for young men and women trained as stenogra- phers, bookkeepers, operators and sec retaries? How much longer will you stand aside and make excuses Aren't you afraid that if you Put it off" to another time that something will arise between now and then to prevent you from getting this train ing?
 You can succeed. Other people those who are succeeding-nature didn't give them single extra bone or one more nerve or muscle than you possess Their success was not a birthright. It came out of efforts out of action. They used their gifts as you should. They gained train ing that developed and broadened and increased their talents-as you should. They took aim at success and fired away until they hit it.
 Look around you! Wherever your eye turns, you see some man or wo- man who had no better start than you with no greater general education or school learning" than you, but who was wise enough to become spe- cially trained in some one special line and who today is going ahead fast and leaving in the rear those who thought special business training unnecessary.
 You must not think of success as a kind of Santa Claus and expect it to drop presents into your stockings while you sleep.
 You have made excuses and halted long enough. Your study to yourself is to come to a decision NOW. Your best interestss dictate decision fav- bring an enrolment NOW.

the city before the drug act went into
effect.
For a time after this law was
effective the Snow birds and bird
lets were noticeable by their absence,
but somehow is was passed to the
fraternity that Ardmore was right
town and tney began drifting back
until once they can be seen on the
streets in constantly argumented
numbers. There is but one conclu-
sion according 10 statement from
the officers, and that Is this. that
some one is peddlinE the dope here
and although they have made repeat
ed efforts to catch the offender or
offenders, so far they have not sue
ceeded although they are always on
the alert to land who ever It is that
is selling the drug.
Information II about as hard TO get
out of a snow head as it is out OF
an aboriginie who is locked up on
charge of being drunk and interro-
gated as to where he got the liquor,
he never remembers, and so 1t Is
with the drug users who have been
locked up, they too, have bad mem
ories and only say they secured the
stuff from some stranger whose name
they did not know.
There is no intimation as to what
the Federal grand jury did while in
session here, they have returned 122
true bills and there is a probability
that among that number some dispen-
sers of the dope are included, how
ever it will be revealed as soon as
all the warrants have been served,
and. in the meantime the bells con
tinue to Jingle.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their

acute, becomes chronic and the child

seldom cured and that may prove a
lifes burden. Many persons who have
this loathesome disease will remem-
