DON'T OVERLOOK YOUR OFFICE
BOYS.

In the March American Magazine
is an article by ]. o. Armour in
which he says:
There is no function OF our COM
pany to which I attach more inn or
lance than the hiring of Office boys.
There used to be time when a boy
was just boy; today he is a poten-
tial department head.
Several years ago l had occasion
one forenoon to send a note to a
superintendent in our office building.
My own boy was away on another err
rand, and a new messenger answered
the call. The note was never deliy-
cred.
How are boys hired here?' I
asked.
oh, we take almost any boy
who comes along was told. Some
of them are employed because their
fathers work here
This statement set me thinking,
and 1t resulted in the development
of the system by which the hiring of
boys has become a very painstaking
part of our business.
I'VE have not tried out any Of the
new 'ologies' bearing on character
analysis. Cleanliness. good manners,
good physique. mental agility and
good habits are primary requisites.
This genera! system has one draw
back. The ranks of our Office boys
and stenographers are being contin-
ually disrupted by the graduation of
these employees into positions Of hi
CHER responsibility. Once a book
keeper always bookkeeper,' is not
true here"

WE DIG OUR GRAVES WITH OUR
TEETH.

In the March American Magazine
a writer who had discarded all faith
in the medical profession cites the
case of Luigi Cornaro to whom he
acknowledges his debt of health,
Luigi" he says. was an Italian
nobleman of the Middle Ages. He
had money enough and leisure emo
ugh so that Satan found plenty of
work for his idle hands during his
first forty years. About his fortieth
birthday he fell sick and the doctors
told him to make his will, he could
not possibly live another year.
Luigi died at one hundred and
four, painlessly, as one who passes
into sweet sleep in the words OF
his granddaughter"
What gave him those extra sixty
four years of life? Not doctors-he
had nothing to do with them. Not
medicine. Not exercise. Luigi sim
ply stopped eating. He made care
full study of himself to discover just
how little food he could eat and still
feel well. Out of his study he soon
learned the valuable truth that most
men dig their graves with their
teeth. Most men die because they
have SO loaded their bodies with ex-
cess food that their organs Of elimi-
nation have broken under the strain.
Most men are tired because they are
self-poisoned with too much food.
All this Luigi discovered and wrote
in book called the Temperate Life
Aside from the fact that belong to
family that grows stronger as 1t
grows older. owe to Luigi more
than to anyone else the good health
and happiness which enjoy today
at thirty"

THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER
THING IN THE WORLD

In the March American Magazine
writer says:
Men have been living on this
world for many centuries. They
have traded in their lives for many
different th!ngs-fame. money, pow
er. But the consensus Of opinion
through the ages is that the thing
most to be desired is happiness. No
man can be really happy unless his
conscience is clear: therefore, It
pays TO be honest and to treat the
other fellow as one would like to be
treated. No one can be happy who
sacrifices his health; therefore, fame
and too much money-elther of
which usually demand health in ex-
change--are not to be desired. No
man can have the highest happiness
unless he can feel that he IS doing a
little good by living, that he Is going
to leave the world a bit better after
he has gone. Therefore. 1t pays to
bring children into the world and
care for them; It pays to be a good
neighbor, and a good employer and
a good friend"
