~ that practically every person
knows something Of its matchless uses.
But it has remained untold by those who
held the secret in power that ammonia
mixed with gasoline is the additional
charm for cleansing which the experts
have withheld, making considerable
money with the simple secret
To use gasoline and ammonia It IS
necessary to use the latter sparingly a

To use ammonia alone as a cleansing
process sounds like the last Of drastic
measures to clean dirt from goods; but
it will clean felt and velvets, making
them as clean as when new. Black,
brown, gray and fawn oolors in velvet
collars, hats or cloth-topped shoes can
be cleaned this way. Use a sponge for
the purpose, but do not make the ma
terial too damp, then quickly wipe it or
rather rub the goods with clean, lint

He stood when ladies stood. He was

She didn't marry this man because

So this wife advises: Don't judge

SUCCESS

OUCCESS, to be achieved in reality,
must be mentally lived for
- months, sometimes for years. Ma
poleon realized his dreams Of power and
conquest perhaps more fully than any
other man, Jeanne D'Arc, with her
dreams Of freeing her country and set
ting her king on his rightful throne, &C
complished her desires through the very
force and strength of her thoughts. To
her it was, the sole object of her life;
her mind knew Of no other project but
that which the spiritual voices had bid
den her pursue.
There are hundreds Of instances Of
this in history. Look about you at the
cases where good luck seems to have at
tended the efforts Of successful people.
You will find in practically every in
stance that the person who reaches his
goal is the one who works, 10 be sure,
but with no other idea than success in
his mind. Nothing daunted by petty dis
eouragements or setbacks, he goes right
on having no doubt that in the end he
will arrive. And he usually does.
Success does not always come TO those
who work the hardest, unjust as that
may seem. Il comes usually TO those
who realize that there is a place for
them in this world, a place which no
one else can hll successfully, and all
they have 10 do is to strive to find that
