The Gift Of SileRce

The very greatest emphasis is
placed On the teaching of speech.
Our schools spend their millions
to teach young people how to
talk intelligently and effectively.
Ability to express oneself in con-
sidered one of the greatest arts
of life. And yet there are
many people who know how
to express themselves far too
well and whose principal need is
to learn to keep their mouth shut.
For instance friend who had
a trained nurse in his family was
telling about her peculiarities.
She was wonderfully skilled in
her profession, watchful, inde-
fatigable and energetic. Yet
she we aried the patients during
their convalescence and exhaust
ed the family by her endless ac-
counts of her own experience and
her personal views about life.
The practical result was that
she was working for some Sc to
So less than eqnally well trained
nurses were getting. Her glib
habits of speech were costing
her just about a dollar a day.
Perhaps it was worth that to her
to be able to talk all she wanted
to, yet one doubts it.
There are fellows whose power
of speech is perfectly irrespress-
ibIe. You simply can't sh u t
them up. They are so friendly
and helpful in many ways that
you can't seem to get along with
out them. At the same time
they distract the attention of
their fellow workmen and are so
much absorbed in self expression
as to reduce their output of work.
The practical result in their case
is that they finally lose positions
or are kept along at reduced
salaries.
Business Offices and workshops
are what their name applies, and
are not social centers. People
with conversational gifts can find
plenty Of outlet for the same in
club and society life. They need
! to cultivate that subtitle sense of
their surroundings that will teach
them when to speak and when to
keep silence.

Guard Duty

A great deal of the work which
our military force will be called
on to do will seem pretty tedious.
The soldiers will often wonder
what he is there for anyway. As
he marches up and down a rail-
road bridge hour after hour and
day after day, with not a thing
to arouse his suspicion or to at
tract his attention it will seen
like a foolish waste of time and
money.
There will be a tendency in the
dark hours of lonesome nights
to take a bit of rest ending in q
snooze. That will be just the
time when a plotting foe will
come along with his package of
dynamite. The watching of vital
public works like bridges is how
ever a real task and it will call
for vigilance, particularly after
the novelty has worn off. There
have been enough attempts to
blow up these structures already
to suggest that alien enemies
have their eyes on them.
For making itself effective in
the great war in which it has en-
tered, the United States needs
command of all its resources. Its
communications need to be
prompt and complete. The des.
truction of a few bridges on i'm.
portant railroad lines or the blow.
ing up of terminals could pro-
duce a great amount of confus-
ion and delay. Temporary struc-
lures would have to be used and
the handling of traffic would be
held up. Schedules would be
thrown into confusion, and the
movement Of supplies and trrops
hampered.
So wherever soldier is placed
on guard duty during this war
period, he should look at his job
as a real one, one calling for
vigilance ard one on which the
country IS depending. He can
never know in what hour the
bomb fiend may turn up. If he
ever does turn up it would be at
the hour when he was least ex-
pected and when his coming
would seem most unlikely. One
thing is sure that if these public
works were not carefully guard
ed a lot of them would fall a
mark to the active colony of bomb
plotters whose plans for such al
tacks are no doubt already well
laid.

Building up a Reputation.

The essential element in max
ing a success in the selling of re-
tail merchandise is to build up a
reputation. There are some mer-
chants who try to build up this
intangible factor of reputation
by sitting down and waiting for
trade to come to them. 1t was
the old style of doing things and
possibly good enough for their
grandfathers. But people are not
making money on that basis to-
day.
A man who is very faithful and
honest in his business may get a
certein limited reputation for
reliability. But even at that if
he never pushes out for new bus
mess, the public impression will
be that he is deathly slow. That
is almost more of a hoodoo than
a reputation for downright trick
mess.
Even if after many years he
does get certain limited reputa-
Ntion he has to wait long and tedi-
Gus years for it and be satisfied
during the waiting time with
very meagre returns.
Thd cheapest and quickest way
to build up reputation is by
means of newspaper advertising.
An intelligent expense for ad-
vertising for six months will go
a long way toward putting a
hitherto unknown merchant on
the map. People will be curious
to see what his store will look
like, then they will be personal
ly interested to test cut some Of
his offerings.
Life is short and time is money.
The man who doesn't advertise
may have saved a small item,
just as he can always save a
small item by turning some clerk
out of his sales force. But he has
postponed the day when his store
will become we'll known and will
acquire a reputation for business
enterprise. While he is sitting
still in a penny wise and pound
foolish way his active competitor
has got busy and is gathering ip
the business.

,INDIylDUALISM.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, n. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.

When we talk about a repre-
sentative form of government
and the health of our people, we
rarely stop to think of our indi-
vidual part in the responsibility
and efficiency Of our Government
and its every act.
We are all highly critical of the
way in which our municipalities
and our state and federal depart
ments are conducted, without a
blush at our own want OF indi-
vidual responsibility in govern
mental affairs when it is time to
direct them as they should go.
The large majority of us, from
the time we get up in the morn
ing and start to look after our
domestic affairs and those con-
corning our business or profess
sion, until the days end, consid-
er no efforts too great for effici-
ency, let them be what they may.
The large majority of our voters,
however, never stop to weigh
earnestly the acts of public Of
ficials day by day and add up, SO
that when it comes time for nom-
mating officials, we may have
record of the men entrusted to
take care of our affairs. 1t is
rarely you meet. men at the polls
who can intelligently analyze the
character of those who are to be
voted for to take care of our
lives, our health, our personal
and real property, and to make
use of our money, paid over to
them in the form of taxes, for
the upkeep of those things nec-
necessary in higher civilized life.
We should be as careful in vot-
ing for public officials as we are
in selecting banks in which we
propose to deposit our earnings.
The manner in which our
Government is being conducted
should occupy some part of each
day of our lives, that we may
keep in touch with public life as
we do with our every day affairs,
both at home and in business.
If we neglect to play our part in
our Government, it soon becomes
empirical, or run by a few, and
those who sometimes take but O.
selfish interest in our affairs.
This same individual indiffer-
ence toward our duties as men,
bers of a representative form of
government can be compared
with our neglect of our individu-
al health. We rise in the MORN
ing and formulate our daily work.
looking after the social, business
or professional duties; but we
give little or no attention to the
sanitary condition of our homes
and the proper treatment of our
physical and mental bodies, to
place them on the highest point
of efficiency.
Now, in the time of war, let
US stop and deliberate and take
thought as to the necessity of
every individual keeping his body,
physically and mentally, up to
the very highest state of health,
because it is the adding up of the
strength of the individuals that
represent the strength of our
Nation.
