condemned. In two other towns visited
by the inspector conditions were found
about the same as In Yankton and

by the food and drug commissioner
that improvement will be noted over
the whole state as a result OF the dis

Big BUSINESS men
Some Who Do a Days Work Be-
fore Breakfast.
Lord Rhondda and Lloyd-c George Of
England, Roosevelt and Rockefeller
Among Quick Thinkers.

Lord Rhondda. the food controller.
Is one of the greatest business men
England has ever produced, London
Tit-Bits says. His lordship is accus
toned to commence his days work be-
fore he rises in the morning. From
then until the time when his dressing
Is completed he Is busy with various
problems, and upon many occasions
he has actually settled important mat
ters in connection with the department
at the breakfast table. Thus, when he
arrives at his Office he has already
done what many men would consider
a good days work.
Perhaps no member OF the win-the-
war government leads a more strenu-
u existence than its leader, Lloyd
George. Always up before six in the
morning. he is busy, even at breakfast
when he gives his attention to multi
tudinous affairs of state. Although he
invariably spends his week-ends at his
charming house In the country. the
prime minister is I'm constant touch
with 10 Downing street by telephone.
If any important question arises during
HIS s~oiourn out OF town, less than half
an hour finds the premier back at No.
10. This wonderful little Welshman
frequently makes an ~"all-night sitting"
In order to solve some problem Of mo-
mentous Importance that has cropped
up"
Our foreign minister, Arthur Bal
four, is another expert at time saving.
He gets through a large amount Of COR
r~espondence every day during meals,
debating letters to his secretary be-
tween the courses. Although he Is sell
dom seen In the house of commons
nowadays, II was invariably his prac-
tice before the war to compose his
speeches while listening to the debates.
Ex-Presldent Roosevelt is another
celebrity who has reduced time a v
ing to a fine art. He constantly takes
a paper and pencil out with him when
he is riding on horseback. and at such
times decides upon his reply to a diff
icult question or outlines an article
for the press.
J. ID. Rockefeller believes in an econ
omy Of words. When he has an i'm
portant piece OF business TO negotiate,
he thinks cut beforehand what is the
simplest and quickest way Of getting 1t
through. Another man who had once

him, one involving the transfers of

spent weeks in preparing for ths final
momentous interview.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked into the
room where he was sitting with his
piles of papers. "How much?" he
asked. The man named a figure, though
almost surprised into dumbness by the
bluntness Of the question. Fright"
said the millionaire, and left the room,
thereupon handing over the other
party to some of his subordinates for
the completion of details, while he him.
self gave his attention TO other mat
ters. 1t is part Of his system of saw
ing time that his mind and attention
shall only be occupied with the settle
ment of principles, and that thereafter
the arrangement Of details shall al
ways be taken In hand by his numer-
assistants. who are quite cempc-
tent for the purpose.
