FUN in BUSINESS

Did you ever see a truly efficient
worker who despised his job, who
performed his duties with the me-
chanical heartlessness and lack of
enjoyment of a machine?
The man with the crouch, who is
dissatisfied with his position because
it is grind" is not efficient; there
is something wrong with him; he
doesn't belong. Truly, we should be
ambitious, discard old work for new,
but not at the expense of happiness.
We should be content in the knowl-
edge that hard work and advancement
in our present position are but means
to better things. The man with this
sort of contentment is capable of
more work than him who nurses a
crouch against his job and his en-
ployer.
Ida NJ. Tarbell, in her book on New
Ideals in Business" presents statis-
tics showing that the man who works
but seven hours a day on eight-hour
pay, who does not return from his
work tagged out and exhausted, turns
out as much as, or more work than,
the man who labors eight or nine
hours. He is refreshed and ready for
work again the next day. For him
the working day does not mean hours
of fatigue. He looks forward with
pleasure spent in creative effort. For
him his work is fun.
And the new tendency in American
industry is in this direction-bring-
ing fun into business for increased
efficiency. Inventive genius is turn
ing from quantity increasing devices
to labor-saving machines. He who
gets pleasure from his labors does
the best work. and the manufacturers
are cashing in on this truth. Fac
tory owners now spend millions an
nually on rest rooms, gymnasiums,
parks and amusement halls for their
employees.
The work must be DONE Humanity
faces an endless task Why not
get some fun out of it?

over the United States, in every city
where Plant Juice has been introduced
from people Of standing and influence
Were Plant Juice other than an article
of extraordinary merit, no such outburs:
of public approval could be had.
That Plant Juice is repeating its sue
cess is proven every day by the large
number of testimonials received from
local people. stating the great benefit
they have received after years of suffer-
ing.
one Of the most recent is that of Mr..
Michael Mahoney, of No. 2a Third streer
northwest, who Is a trusted employe of
a large steel mill and has many acquaint-
aices in this city. He said:
Il have suffered with my stomach for
over two years. and all the food that !
ate would ferment and cause gas to form
/ was bloated and in the worst kind OF
misery; my liver was affected. which
made me very dizzy at times, and ]
could never get a good nights sleep; got
very nervous and weak and was badly
constipated- Nothing seemed to give me
any relief. until I heard Of your Plant
Juice and began to take It. It gave me
almost immediate relief, and now am
able to eat all of my meals and digest
my food: sleep well and am feeling the
best have in years: have no more head
aches or dizzy spells and am not consti-
pated. / am feeling like a new man, and
am glad to give this public Endorsement
for Plant Juice. You can count me as
one of your strongest Boosters"
The Plant Juice Man Is at the Peoples

wrists and ankles she sprang away
and faced him like hunted thing

Nan lodged as he came toward
her, but he caught her hand and
pulled her back. Infatuated, desper-
ate, she fought as only woman can
fight when she herself is at stake.
Scratching and kicking like wild
cat she fairly drove Rawls back. He
was in a mean temper now, and 1t
was fortunate indeed that an inter-
ruption turned his mind to other
things.
For Hogan's men were advancing
toward the barricade and the first
shots found Rawls locking the cellar
door in haste and rushing off to
the fight. Hogan had deployed his
men in long line facing the en-
trance to the town, and the struggle
was bitter and persistent. Protected
by the breastwork erected by the
townspeople. Won Blocks men were
at distinct advantage, and Hogan
made little progress. Gwyn came
up for a consultation, and one of his
posse was called aside.

Charge! shouted Gwyn, and the
posse led by Hogan leaped over the
burning barrier and carried the fight
straight into the heart of the town.
Again the advantage changed hands,
for Hogan, with the flames at his
back, was forced to drive the bandits
back as the fire approached. Already
the Jail in which Nan was imprison-
ed was burning brightly, and Gwyn,
ignorant of her plight, was leading
several men up side street for a
thanking movement when Rawls sud
denly peered around fence corner
and fired.
"Liedown," commanded Gwyn to
his followers. Cooking his rifle, he
stepped behind an open gate and
took careful aim. Several minutes
passed, and then hat was showed
around the corner, Gwyn waited and
a moment later Rawls dashed across
the street opening to escape. AS
Gwyn fired the bandit whirled on
one foot and fell headlong, a bullet
through his breast. In an instant
Gwyn was bending over him.

xiously.
"Ah!" breathed Rawls, a certain
cruel pleasure showing on his face
in spite Of the pain. you win the
mine, but the girl-look!" He tried
to point to the flaming Jail, gasped,
and fell back. But Gwyn understood.
"You-!' he stopped. Rawls was
dead. With Hogan's dog. who had
followed. close at his heels, he dash
ed toward the Jail and flung him
self at the door. A swirl of heat and
flame forced him back. Grasping
