is THIS "Y0UNG MANS AGE?"
Golden Period of Achievement Cores
When Man Is Well Past Forty
Years of Age, 1t Is Claimed.

= "Our times are frequently called the
age Of the young men. But when one
looks back to the revolutionary ere Of
our country, from IT'S to 1925. enc
considers the striking youthfulness OF
the leaders of America the appellatior
does not appear exactly to ft," said 8
New York man ip recent interview
''Nor do the men now in their TWEEN
ties and thirties push the men Of the
forties and ifties hard enough to prove
that this Is pre-eminently the young
mans age. Unless men Of forty are
Eeonsidered young, this scarcely is g
young mans age.
'The youngsters under thirty receive
IAN undue degree Of attention from the
professions and business. A notion
prevails that the latest graduate from
college, technical school or university
lis more desirable than the man who
has had postgraduate courses in ltfe's
college of experience. Best sellers,
movies and magazine articles about
business foster the notion. Conse-
auently, distressingly large number
of men from twenty-five to thirty ex-
pect to be the bosses of big businesses
or corresponding professions or tech
nical vocations by the time they are
thirty-fve.
"Many will, If they work hard and
prove to possess capacity, occupy posi-
Hons of responsibility. But scarcely
at thirty-fve. The golden age of
achievement really comes in most
cases Is years later. In fact, the pres
ent age is the age of the mature man.
In literature the success today is not
the man of thirty. Irwin Cobb would
almost universally be considered q
success in literature, but Cobb is forty
one and has not reached the fullness
Of his power. George AIDE is f1fty-one,
Harrington forty-eight, Frank Cobb, a
chief writer of editorial, forty-eight.
The success achieved through develop
ment of talent, hard work and sacri-
fee is reserved for the mature"

That's What John BunYon Johnson,
the WeII-known Automobile
Salesman, Says of Martins
Liver Medicine

One of the latest to add his un-
9aalifed endorsement to Martins
Liver Medicine is John Bunyon
Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In letter
dated August Is, 1917, he says:
"It affords me pleasure to report
that I have taken Martins Liver
Medicine and obtained most desir-
able results. Martins Liver Medi-
cine is pleasant to the taste, does
not gripe nor inconvenience the
taker in any way. 1t acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold"
Martins Liver Medicine is strictly
vegetable in ingredients, contains
NO poisonous calolnel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the drug store
and the Soc paid for it will be re-
funded. AS a medicine for consti-
patton, sick headache or other liver
and stomach troubles, Martins
Liver Medicine is without peer:

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful, Just plain mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), IS much better than the most ex- penSive soap or anything else you can use tor. shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out cas- fly and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap. and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. :

NOME CITIZENS
ABANDON SEARCH
FOR MISSING BOAT

Nome-After an extended search
along the south shore of Norton
sound, from the vicinity of the Yu-
kon flats toward St. Michael, the
tug Genevieve returned to port on
Thursday night and reports having
been unable to find any trace of the
power schooner White Bear, which
was blown off her course early this
week by a severe blizzard while en-
route from Solomon to Nome. 1t
is now believed certain that the four
men aboard the boat persisted, for
they had very little food and fuel.
The tug Genevieve, which was sent
out by the citizens of Nome after
having been taken forcibly from her
owners and manned with volunteer
crew consisting of members of the
Coast guard and citizens of the
town, reports that it was found i'm
possible to approach the shore at
any point on account of the slush
ice, which extends from ten to thirty
miles off the St. Michael coast. The
searchers express the belief that the
Bear was swamped by the freezing
slushes weighing the vessel down.
The rescue boat was all but lost as
the result of having been caught
in the slush. All hands were COM

urged that the president be advised

Following the action of the me-
