When Ambition Rules.

The girl who is ambitious isn't both
ering her head as to whether she Will
get into an Office where rugs and other
decorations abound. She only thinks
of getting ahead. Hard workers do
not waste any time studying tasteful
appointments" during working hours.
Yet the hardest workers have artistic
inclinations, and in their leisure time
find much pleasure in developing them.
Only misguided young folks Will
dream Of easy places with big salaries
attached. Work hard and keep work
ing hard if you would reach the stage
where the high salary awaits you.
1t would, indeed, be very nice if we
could be relieved Of many mental and
physical efforts and still receive the
compensation we would like to receive,
but we may as well make up our minds
that this will never happen. The work
aday world is a busy place and a
crowded place, and there isn't any
room in 1t for dreamers or drOnes.
Those Of US who are now working
should seriously consider these facts,

all we must give full measure for the
compensation we receive.-Exchange.

WASTE OF FOODS.

It would be good thing for people
Of this favored land to take az in
ventory of what goes into the gar
bage can, according to the American
Bankers association, which in q talk
on thrift beWailS the waste Of food. It
charges that good many people play
with their dinner, sending choice cuts
Of meat and fowl back to the kitchen
and from there, presumably, to the
garbage. There is cited the expert
ence Of large country hotel, which
few years ago lost herd of 800
hogs from feeding 'sWell swill," good
food too rich for their systems. Con-
clusively. it quotes DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley, who seems to have estimated
that the annual waste of food In this
country is 81 300, 100000 rather
large figure even for one 80 expert In
chalking down large figures as Is Doc
tor Wiley. That this is pretty waste
ful country cannot perhaps be refuted,
unless the attitude Of some economists
is accepted and it Is argued that waste
is normal, since nature herself is amaz-
ingly wasteful. Families that have
a cherry tree in the back yard have
observes that the uncultured robin Is
a wasteful child of nature, eating an
eighth of cherry and then passing to
another thus permitting seven-eighths

1t is more important to know what

what a man will do in certain emer-

Science has been making the age Of
the world 200.0OO000 years more or
less. But the latest scientific calcula-
ton is 1,5OO, 100000 years. This great
difference of time arises from the diff
ference Of methods of calculation. The
first named period is reached through
geological estimates founded on sedi-
menratiOn and stratum formation The
longer period is reached through the
retroactive effects of uranium and its
relative elements. II has taken all this
time for uranium to produce crystal.
iizatiOn which possesses creative force.
The longer period is the estimate OF
chemistry. the shorter period Of geol-
Ogy, but, as there is no geology with
out chemistry, the scientific world Is
turning to uranium as the controlling
element In the building of the earth,
and the period Of its retroactive
agency constitutes the age Of the earth.
From uranium we get radium, the mas
fer force of all change As radium
was only discovered in 1902, there
is plenty Of time left In which to find
out how old the earth Is.
