the Seventy year Contest-Silly Dissipation Weakens
the Pushing Power and Loses Time.

On the right is the six xday bicycle On the right
the average young Because the young man is
really interested in day racing and will study picture
of this kind Tads cartoon of today has great value
The bicycle and his partner must keep going day
and night for six days While riding the other is
sleeping eating, being rubbed down-sLEEPNG Es
PECIALLY
When you man, at the right, grinding at his
wheel you know that his partner is sound asleep building
up strength in order strong ride hard
they awaken him
In the picture the right showing the young man who
takes seriously his work of six days. you only
ness hard work, careful living and sound sleep
In the picture the right all of u.s. all racing
against each other for in ife although do not
realize it. And above is shown how young often pre-
pare for their for their important work in hours that
should be devoted to the building up of strength that
makes success
Tad has written his captions under the different
pictures They plain and every young will under
stand them.
Life is race short sprint of six days. but race
long life itself. At any moment you may gain lap
the Others at any moment you may have fall that will
put you out Of the race for good
Earnest concentration gains the laps foolishness and
dissipation, the weaknesses and the physical dis
that dissipation give you the fall that kills
success
There would be fewer men in hospitals sanitariums
asyums and prisons fewer in Poters Field more could
pictures Of this kind and realize what they mean In
tbs newspaper recently published (perhaps you it,
but it won't do any harm read it again) voltaires
conundrum on Time, which reads follows
sWhat, of all things in the world, is the longest
and shortest the swiftest and the slowest the most
md fhon fbo,
the most regretted, without which nothing can be
done which devours all that is little and enlivens all
that is great''
The answer is TIME, of which votaire says:
Nothing" added he, els longer, since it is the
of eternity Nothing is shorter since it is in
sufficient for the accomplishment of projects Moth
ing slow to him that expects nothing rapid
him that enjoys. In greatness it extends innity
in smaIness it is infinitely dvisible. All men neglect
it; all regret the loss of it, nothing be done without
it. 1t consigns to oblivion whatever is unworthy of
being transmitted to postery and mmortalizes such
actions are truly great"
We know as we look at Tad's picture of the racer
that there is need to tell him what time To him
Time is EVERYTHING second means 80 MANY feet an
hour many miles, day onesxth of the whole
70 waste hour would failure for in that hour
the would fall behind far he could up
This picture shows you two men, racing who knows
that he is racing the other which Tad labels YoU also
racing, but without knowing it.
In the who knows what time means uses
the waking hours to get ahead and the resting hours to
build up strength. The other dawdles through the
working hours because he has used the hours of rest
squandng strength that should make his work productive
Fathers and employers they have the patience could
make this picture useful Every boy can understand the
lesson it teaches Ask your young what he would
think Of sxday he devoted hours Of thought to
the style Of hat the foolish loop in the back of
cea Or some other volty instead of keeping his mind
en the race.
