Did you ever figure out what you
are worth to yourself? Did you ever
think that, as a human being you
have a certain value which can be
set down in dollars and cents: You
can reckon it from your wages or
salary. Your annual income repre-
sents the interest on a certain amount
of capital. Suppose you receive
$1,000 a year. At per cent this is
the interest on $4,000. If you could
turn yourself into capital" this would
be your value. Whenever you in
crease your energy, intelligence or
in your business you cap
italize yourself at a higher figure.
When you can pull down $4,000
year from your services you can set
down your personal valuation of
100000.

words. But even the heart Of the man
who knows all war can teach can hold
only so much. Here were their un-
known pals going forth to square
things; they too, would feel the glori-
GUS swing of battle; they would some
day charge across open fields I'M
afraid; they would not be denied-and
some day few of them would be
standing on crutches at the rail of a
great ship taking them home. Then
possibly, other gallant new crusaders
with clean unspoiled uniforms and
high hopes would give them the same
big thrill.
"Marinel Marines! Hi, you ma
rines!" The boy on crutches gripped
the ships rail with his left hand, the
boy with one arm leaned forward and
the two took off their caps and waved
them wildly.
"Marinesl Marinesl Hi, you cow
boysl" 1t was a glorious battle cry. |

Knows so much of wars glories and
tragedies lifted anchor and started to-

Experience the Best Teacher

It is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use of the exper-
fence of others as well as our own :?
The experience of thousand persons
is more to be depended upon than
that of one individual Many chou
sands of persons have used Chamber

colds with the best results, which
shows it to be a thoroughly reliable
preparation for those diseases. Try
it. 1t is prompt and effectual and
pleasant to take.

DRAMA OF A BIG TROOP
SHIP
Wounded Marines En- Route
Home Wistfully Watch
New Units

A big American troop ship, which
once had flown the German ensign,
slipped from its mornings near an
ancient quay and steamed down the
great harbor towards the sea and
home. 1t had brought almost five
thousand new fighting men the day
before and was now taking home a
few wounded.
For the most part these soldiers Law
in the cabin below, where thew were
carried with all the tenderness and
care that a great hearted old navy
surgeon staff could give. For, despite
all they had seen and given, they were
just boys-and he was sending them
home to mothers who would try to
nurse back to them something of
spent youth and high hopes.
An hour before one of them stood
on crutches looking wistfully over the
ships rail at the old city stretching
out behind. Then his eyes shifted to
the rotting wharf with the ancient
barracks and great store buildings
behlnd-then on up to the gray houses
setting higher on the hill.
By his side stood a boy with the
empty left sleeve of his blouse pinned |
to the shoulder. His face was thin
and white. He was just out of
hospital. Both wore drab uniforms
of the army, but pinned on the little |
overseas cap of each was the beloved |
emblem of the marine corps They
were marines who had helped make
history at Belleau Wood and Chateau
Thierry those early June days when
the world was swinging in the bal
ance. They had given life, body,
health and future, but they still chung
to the magic spirit that has swept
the American soldier to a great pin
nacle.
Suddenly, from way down at the
end of the quay came marching men.
Down below there was a camp of men
just off the ships; now they were
marching by to entrain for the front.
Even at that distance the ship an
chored there must have recognized ,
them-they were men she had brought
twenty-four hours before.
The boy on crutches and the boy
who had given his arm watched the
column of tours swing into view They :
were getting closer and these two by S
the rail almost heard the line SER i

Whether or not East Chicago and other

suits are not foreseen. As was eX-
pected. the chief argument 10 be met
was that Chicago could furnish salts

various plants in this city.
It developed that Chicago investiga-
tors had made a general statement to
the effect that a thousand fats. apart
nent houses and homes were available
in Englewood. South Chicago and ada
cent territory. but that no accurate sur
Vey of that matter had been made and
there is stu some question as to the
possibility OF housing any very large
number Of men in that locality. The
assertion was made ny our representa-
lives that the suggestion of using Chi
cago housing had been made by Chicago
real estate firms and others. interested in
South Chicago property. The represen-

It was discovered that the government
