SUCCESS
quested

How do you tackle your work each
day7
Are you scared of the job you
fad?
Do you grapple the task that comes
your way
With a confident, easy mind?
Do you stand right up to the work
ahead
Or fearfully pause to view it?
Do you start to toll with a sense
of dread
Or feel that you're going to do it7
You can do as much as you think
you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young
man,
There's little for you in store.
But failure comes from the inside
first,
It's there if we only knew-it;a
And you can win, though r1you face
the worst,
If you feel that you'ze going to
do it.
Success! It's found in the soul of
you,
And not in the realm of luck!
The world will furnish the work to
do,
But you must provide the pluck.
You can do whatever you think you
can,
It's all in the way you view it;
It's all in the start that You make,
young man,
You must feel that you're going
to do it.

GOD BLESS EN-
(By Guy.)

We laugh at the clothes that they
wear;
We tell them their health they
are harming
BY wearing such heels. We declare
Style tendencies simply alarming.
We scoff at their masses of hair;
But round them forever we're
swarming
We have to confess that, in spite of
their dress,
We find them most wonderfully
charming. II.
And though we may argue and
preach
And call it all dress alteration,
What lover has cooled to his peach
Because of her style emulation:
Ay, though to go slow we beseech,
And the style-maker's newest
sensation
We greet with a groan, we are proud
when our own
Go CARRIED in the latest creation.
Oh, brothers, we'd better give DER,
For little our kicks will requite us.
The ladies their fashions adore,
Though the same to protest may
incite us.
Let's bow to what still is in store,
No cure has been found for style
tits;
We may have our say, but they'll
still have their way
They'll wear what they want to,
despite us.

libel for publishing that Cardui is
nostrum without merit.
