WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snufs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Trylt.

MAKE YOURSELF A
REALLY FoRCEFUL MAN

Charles NJ. Schwab states In tho
American Magazine that integrity and
personality are two important things
I'm salesmanship. He says:
Integrity, incidentally, is one OF
the mighticst factors in sulesmanship.
IL you have a reputation for stating
facts exactly, for never attempting to
gain momentary advantage through
exaggeratioD, you possess the basis Of
all successful salesmanship.
Next to integrity comes personal
ity-that indeflnable charm that gives
to men what perfume gives to flowers.
Many OF us think OF statesmen as peo-
pie travelling around with sample kits.
Instead, We are all salesmen every
day of our lives. We are selling our
Ideas, our plans, our energies, our ell
thusiasms, to those with whom we
come in contact. Thus the man Of
genial presence Is bound to accomplish
much more, under similar conditions,
than the man without It, II you have
personality, cherish it, il you have
not cultivate it. For personality can
be cultivated. although the task is not
easy.
Nothing Is so plentiful In America
as opportunity. There are more jobs
for forceful men than there are force
full men to I'll them. Whenever the
question comes up OF buying new
works we never consider whether we
can make the works pay. That is u
foregone conclusion If we can get the
right man TO manage them.
"All successful employers Of labor
are stalking men who will do the un-
usual, men who think, men who at
tract attention by performing moro
than Is expected of them. These men
have no difficulty in making their
worth felt. They stand out above
their fellows until their superiors can
not fail to see them"
