Fit Yourself to- Conquer:

Won must see the rainbows in the
future if you would be a builder who
touches men. You must forget the
lowering clouds and impending storms.
Their present hindering will but swell
the tide flowing your way later.
There's something godlike in the en-
thusiastic soul. Enthusiasm paints its
own stars in the mental armament
and then draws from them light. You
might as we'll try to pull the sun from
the sky as TO hinder the youth who is
BED by enthusiasm. His life is too
6uoyant to be held down by Oppres
sion. Injustice merely makes him a
martyr and wins the crowds TO him.
And when he feels the opposition of
unthinking men he will rise to greater
heights as he thrills those who listen
with the story Of his wrongs. What he
sees or thinks he sees makes him irre
sistible and fits him to conquer.-Grit,

BREATHE ROCK DUST

investigations in chemical factories
showed that laborers were frequently
exposed TO poisonous fumes and gases.
The investigation was made at Nj
agara Falls because plants were en-
gagged in the manufacture of abras-
ives, chemicals, gases, electrodes, car
bOns, metals and alloys. In all of the
factories the laborers were found to
be exposed to dangers which would
eventually incapacitate them for fur
Their work. Fortunately over co per
cent of the labor in these plants seeks
new employment monthly and the re-
suit of exposure to such dangers is
not evident as it would be if the work
ers remained at the same work for
longer periods.
AS Il result of the survey industrial
hygiene engineers devised means of
removing the dust from the air and
minimizing hazards from fumes and
poisonous gases. In spite of the fact
that the installation Of such devices
was expensive, factory arrangements

Bangor, Me.-The rate at which Ca
madam and Scotch WHISTLES are flowing
over the northern border into Maine
proves that enforcement of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into its
stride as yet for never in all the his
tory of theoretical droughts have GASES

right now, when there is more law than
ever before, twice as many "enforcers'

Trainmen who come down say that
whisky of all grades and oceans of
pure grain alcohol are flowing over the
border at hundred places, and that ut
four principal points the alcoholic in

points are Van Buren,, opposite the

"A landing field should have, first

be drained to permit it's use even in
