The people of the south are indig-
nant over the report emanating from
the United States public health bureau
that there is widespread prevalence of
pellagra in that region, due to diet
liraited to corn bread and bacon. The
southern pei pie probably have just
cause for complaint. They have been
eating corr. bred and bacon two or
three times a day for generations and
have thrived on it. Not only that, but
when they don't eat corn bread they
eat hot biscuits in violation of estab-
lished dietary rules. They probably
are as free from disease. as are the
residents of any other part of the
country. Many government officials
are entirely too busy in meddling with
matters that do not concern them ana
with matters about which they lack

talked with a discouraged young
man the other day who had Just
started out his business career as a
salesman.
He had attempted to win from a
big prospect but had been "floored" as
one might say. He was greatly Wor-
ried. Recognizing that the experience
was a very good thing for him, l gave
him the best advice could, which was
this: You have learned from losing
but this failure must be considered
BEHIND you. Your success is
AHEAD of you!
l believe that we must translate our
lives each minute into determination
to go on, and on-and on. No matter
what we leave behind.
The best of life must always be
considered ahead. Or else our hearts
would have no desires worth striving
toward

This wonderfully human play Just

January 1, 1920. the number OF farms
in the United States which had auto
mobiles was 1.S7s,5s4, this number
being s0.7 per cent OF all farms in the
United States. More than that, some
farmers were not content with one car
for they reported a total of 2.14s,512
automobiles. That is a remarkable
showing for the twenty years OF the
automobiles existence.
Automobiles were found on more
than half of the farms in eight states,

eight commonwealths reported more

Take an Interest in Your Job.

enthusiasm. You have to put your
heart as well as your back into your
work to make a go of it. You have
to love your job in order to turn out
good job. You have to be interested
in what you are doing before you lie
awake nights thinking of better ways
TO DO IT. In all of my long experience
have never seen a single individual
make a success of anything in which
ne or she was not vitality interested
You can give boy and girl all the
technical training that is possible to
III them for a certain career. They
may have natural bent for the line
you have put them. in. They may
start out under the most favorable
auspices and yet they will fail if they
are not interested in their job, and do
not put punch and pep into it.
And you can't do that if what you
are doing bores you to extinction. Mo-
body can win out who is saddled down
with the dead weight OF boredom.
That is a fatal handicap that makes
you give up before you even start to
run the race.
you have got to believe with all
the faith that is in you that the work
to which you have set your hand is
worth doing. and you have got to have
Joy in doing it before you can turn

world. and for which the world is
willing to pay. j
