THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment;
I have been running down for the
last year or two. [ am all tagged out,
have no ambition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether l
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work [ used to
do some years ago. If L were as
strong as [ was, I could earn good
money 1 know I ought to treat with
a good specialist. but I cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW. my
friend. and dearly; yet you do not
get it,
Let me tell you why.
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore, you cam
not work and earn what you used to.
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing on your pllctl--"1llSl1 ~ your
health-by allowing it to run down,
and so the interest (your working
capacity is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
now you earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul in your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make Il living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought of
what will happen when the final
break doWn comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are going to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar you MIGHT earn, but
don't, is an actual expense to you.
You spend it. And what do you get
| for it. Worry, anxiety, dependency,
want and deprivation for your family.
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
| expense. 1t is an investment. And in
/ return you get increased working
ability, higher wages, health and hap
| pineSs at home.
Which will you choose?

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
Josephus is Now the Most Popular
Member of the Cabinet.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Baltimore will be mighty glad to
see Secretary Josephus Daniels at the
fifth regiment armory tonight and
to listen to what he has to say. Sec
retary Daniels is easily the most pop
ular member of the Cabinet and
wherever he goes people are getting
to feel as if he were one of the home
folks. This is not simply because of
the Secretary's winning ways" and
gift of making friends by showing
himself friendly, but because the
country has come to recognize him as
one of it's most valuable public SER
wants. He has disappointed his hon
est critics most agreeably, and there
is a general feeling among those once
hostile to him that they cannot do
too much to atone for their under es-
innate Of him in the beginning.
Many persons thought he was ''no
good" as Secretary of the Navy when
he was first appointed, that he was
merely little politician from little
North Carolina town, one Of Mr.. Bry-
ans small Me-Toos, rewarded because
he was always ready to echo the voice
of his big chief. Perhaps no other
selection by Mr.. Wilson aroused so
much criticism and ridicule. And
this became indignant and bitter
when the new Secretary violated the
most cherished traditions of the navy
by regulating the bibulous propensi-
ties Of sea-dogs, big and little, and
when he ruthlessly brcked up against
many of the old-fashioned customs of
the Navy Department. In those days
we trembled for the navy when
scores of experts were conclusively
demonstrating every day that it was
going to "the demnition bowwows''
through the Incompetence, of this
North Carolina land-:ubber.
Even his critics now have to ad-
NIT that this "tar hec," has made the
highest score of any member of the
Cabinet, and that the country has
reason to be thankful that we have
had him on deck. In point of fact,
he is a man who has grown bigger
under fire and in whom criticism has
brought into play qualities which may
) have been unknown even to himself
! until he was tested.
