You Get What You Want if
BY Beatrice Fairfax


'You get what you want" says one
of the sanest, strongest men | know.
You do get what you want"-if you
want it enough!
The very first step toward getting
what you want In the world is be-
lieving that you can get it. Sneering
idly or bitterly, "Oh, yes, that's all very
well to say, but some people are born
lucky, or rich, or good-looking, or
clever. and others start with big handi-
caps, Is exactly the sort of thing that
is going to prove handicap and pre-
vent you from getting what you want
in the world.
You have to believe in your own
ability and in the fairness of life. And
you have to be willing to work-to
work single-heartedly, and even des-
perately, to reach your goal.
The one great reason why so few
OF us do get what we want in the world
Is because we are not quite sure what
1t is; or, being sure, we have not
quite the backbone to plug away in
order to get it; or, being willing to
work. we still are weak enough to per-
NIT ourselves to be torn from our la
bors and tempted into all sorts of re-
taxation.
Easy to Make Excuses
1t is so easy to be "sidetracked."
1t is so easy to be tempted into TAX
ing some little relaxation or pleasure
and persuading ourselves that as a re-
suit of it you will work all the better.
There are plenty of old maxims that
seemingly Justify such a course-"Ail
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy" for instance. That is quite true,
to be sure, but too much play leavened
with only little work makes Jack a
failure is equally true.
The people who succeed are the peo-
pie who are fairly single-minded, who
have an honest purpose in life and who
propose to accomplish it, and, what is
more, to accomplish it legitimately and
through their own earnest, untiring eff
fort.

quarter to planning what you are going
to do when you get around to it, and
the rest of your time to swinging along
before idle winds that blow you where
they list.
If you are going to be power in
the legal world, you have to study and
work and strive constantly for growth
in knowledge and power. You have to
make everything else subservient to
your desire to be great lawyer. You
have to make even your relaxationE

your growth instead of s.unting it.

Making a success as a writer" or
as anything else depends not at all
on how you are placed, and entirely
on what you choose to do. The joy
of working is just as restful as the
joy of playing-particular when 1t
is working at something other than
your regular daily task.
Relaxation lies not necessarily in
resting, but more often In merely doing
something different.
And If the girl who thinks she wants
to be a writer really did want it

she probably would be writer. But
she isn't quite capable of a single

She excuses her desire for a little

friends accept. And since what she
really wants is good time, that is
what she gets.
People are too easily sorry for them

Penna. Representative Is
Boosting One-Cent Drop
Letter Postage Rate

Washington D. c., Feb. 21.-"There
can be no sound argument against
granting a one-cent rate on local de-
livery letters" said Representative
William w. Griest. of Pennsylvania, n
prominent member of the House pos
tai committee. to-day in answer to a
query as to whether the postage rate
on letters was equitable In recent
years there has been a growing de-
mand for legislation to reduce the let
ter postage rate because of the fact
that more than $70,000,00O profit is
derived from this class of mail. The
public desire for some modification of
the rate is increasingly insistent and
the records of the past few weeks show
the introduction in the House and the
Senate of a large number of bills pro-
posing a one-cent drop-letter postage
rate.
''At this time I am not prepared to
espouse the feasibility of a fiat rate
of one cent for all letters said Mr..
Griest, but | do favor an immediate
return to the people of a reasonable
share of the eXorbitant profit on first
class mail. The cost of handling local
delivery letters on an average in a city
or town having letter carriers service
will figure less than one-sixth of a cent,
for which service two cents is charged.
THE history of postal rate reduc-
tions shows it has always facilitated
letter correspondence with an increase
in business and revenue. Our postal
service is not supposed to be a money
making institution, and when any fea-
ture of it earns an exorbitant profit of
several hundred per cent. there should
be an adjustment so that the public
can share in the earnings. The time
is opportune for a reduction in the
drop-letter rate and 1t is my purpose
to do what | can to have Congress
enact the necessary legislation during
the present session"
Mr.. Griest is one of the pioneer
advocates of the one-cent letter
movement and is understood to have
introduced the first bill in Congress
providing for the reduction.

CHAPTER LV.


Copyright, 1916, Star Coz
The following day it rained. AS
Jane awoke in the gray dawn after
an hours troubled sleep she heard
the drops on the tin roof OF the
veranda under her window. If any
thing could have added to the dreari-
ness of existence, she reflected 1t was
this sound.
She had lain awake most of the
night. She had not spoken when
Augustus came up to bed. He had
undressed quietly, and, to her sur
prise. had fallen asleep soon after
lying down.
How could a man with such a
soul and with such cruelty in his
carefully away from him and lay on
the outer edge of the great bed,
shivering all through the night al
though the covers were piled thick
over her.
She had listened when Mary came
upstairs very late, and again and
again she had thought she heard the
measured footfall as OF some one
walking up and down the house
keepers room.
Jane tried to think connectedly
of all that she had overheard. but
certain sentences would start up
out of the dark before her burning
At last morning had come. She
dared not get up too early for fear
of awakening Augustus. It made
her feel ill to think of talking to
him just now.
he slept on until she was dressed.
AS she started to leave the room
she called him.
Augustus. she said. I'm going
downstairs now. | think YOU forgot
10 set the alarm last night. as it is
past the time 1t usually goes Off"
and stretching, II did not forget it,
but did not want to wind it for
fear of waking you. You were
having such a good Sleep"
She did not reply. Yesterday her
deception had seemed TO her a
wrong in which she was determined
to indulge. Now, compared with
seemed almost innocent.
On her way down the hall she
went into the spare bedroom and
closed the register she had left open
last night. When she reached the
diningroom she closed the register
here, too. She thought that she had
thus removed the only signs of her
last nights experience.
She Shows the Strain
But her face showed that she had
been through many phases of men,
tai suffering. AS she entered the
kitchen Mary greeted her with a
grave good morning" then glanced
at the heavy eyes.
Don't you feel well?" the house
keeper asked, throwing off her
lethargy with an effort. 'Have you
a headache"
Yes" Jane admitted. "I have"
Didn't you sleep well?"
Il had fearful Dreams" Jane re-
piled.
AS there seemed to be nothing
for her to do in here she went back
to the diningroom to wait in dull
misery for her husband to come
downstairs.
Even Reeves noticed her pallor.
Whats the matter?" he asked
you look terribly peaked"

From pyorrhea come by far the
greater part of all tooth troubles.
Unless treated and checked, it will
result not only II. the shrinking and
malformation of your gums and of
the bony structure into which your
teeth are set, but in the loss of the
teeth themselves.
A specific for pyorrhea has been
discovered recently by dental SCI
encc, and is now offered for daily
treatment in Senreco Tooth Paste.
Senreco combats the germ of the
disease. Its regular use insures your
teeth against the attack or further

OFTEN A PINT"
IS NOT A PINT
City Sealer Reel Explains How
Matron Loses by Using
Glass Jar
APPLIES TO OIL CAN, TOO
Dealer Not Entirely to Blame;
Suggests Plan For Remedy
ing Evil

How the average matron often
cheats herself when buying syrup.
vinegar, etc, in glass jars was pointed
out to-day by City Sealer Harry d.
Reel.
Frequently the receptacle does not
hold the amount of the commodity
asked or paid for. the sealer explained,
and the consumer suffers accordingly.
And as rule the storekeeper can
hardly be censured because ne is no
more certain of the real size of the
vessel he is filing than is the Gus
toner.
City Sealer Reels advice for solving
the problem is simple.
IF a pint is desired, use a quart
Jar; If a quart is to be purchased, use
two-quart jar; if two quarts are
wished, use gallon jar" is his sug-
gestion.
When Pint's Not Pint
while it is realized" said Mr.. Reel,
that the jars are a great convenience,
1t is suggested that the consumer use
receptacles that hold a greater guam
tity than the amount to be purchased.
1t should be borne in mind that these
jars are containers not measures,
and will often vary considerably in
size. Some hold more than others,
although in a majority of cases pint
jar will not hold a full pint. so-called
quart jar falls way short of holding
quart. and so on up the scale.
What is true of the glass jar is
equally true of the gallon oil can.
Many of these cans will not hold a full
gallon.
The Solution
"As a rule explained City Sealer
Reel, the grocer or other dealer draws
the oil. molasses, vinegar, ETC., by
means OF an automatic pump or gauge.
These machines release n pint, quart,
gallon or other amount for which
they are set. The exact amount is
drawn, and if the receptacle is too
small the overflow returns to the hogs
head, cask or barrel, as the case
may be.
Consequently" concluded the sealer,
'the dealer can scarcely be blamed, as
he has no way of determining the
exact quantity he is giving; but, if the
container furnished would hold more
than the quantity ordered. it is more
than likely that the dealer would see
that his measures, pumps, gauges, ETC.,
operate properly-and draw the proper
amounts"

Tooth Loose?
Watch out for PyOrrhea!

When you find tooth that gives back and
forth, even just little, see your dentist at
once.
He will find conditions which you might
overlook. He will find a gum recession,
even though slight, where the gums have
pulled away from the teeth. And he will tell
you that you have the dread disease tysrrhsa.
