you can't learn to live. All you can do is to keep on learning to live. That is because at each particular age we must live in different way on account of the new conditions in which we find our constitutions. A young baby, hay ing mastered all the intricacies of nursing bottle and rubber nipple, may thrive and be happy, but that only proves that it has learned to live with respect to that particular period of it's existence. As it continues year after year in the school of life it will have to change its diet many times.

President John, Powell of the Fore River Shipbuilding company said at a banquet in Boston:
 "The shipping business was never so good as it is today. It will remain good, too, for years after the great war is over. They who prognosticate disaster for us have biased minds. They remind me of the major.

Don't ct Bills Run-Pav up.

Wonderful results have been obtain ed in communities where the pay up campaign has been tried out. With every one paying his or her bills there has been an immediate circulation of money. There has been quickening of business. Persons who never dream of being dishonest often let bills run on. They are simply careless. They do not mean to defraud. This is a rapid age. Business deals are quickly consummated. Prompt payments have not kept pace with the times. To ob- yiate this the pay up campaign was inaugurated. Do your share in the good work. Quick payments simplify bookkeeping. They add to the eficien- cy and stability of your business.
