George W. Perkins' Method Is to Live
Every Day as II It Were to Be
the Only One.

"My own method has been to live
every dny as though 1t was the only
day had to live, and to crowd every
thing possible into that day. Pay no
attention to the clock or what you
are paid, but work and live for all
that is In it-just as you play foot
ball-and everything else will take
care of ITSELF" said George w. Per
kins.
"The head of the table is the place
where there Is most room. 1t is the
