The red corpuscles are tiny disc

carry away worn-out waste matter.
Sometimes, especially in the Spring,
after the winter indoors and more or
less sickness, the red corpuscles
themselves need rebuilding. GUIDES
Pepto- Mangan contains just the in
gradients to give them greater power
to absorb oxygen and to distribute it
throughout the body. -
That is why it is such a good
Spring tonic. 1t helps SO much to

of red corpuscles. With fine Spring

Latin for 1000. The distance was, of

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
PvE A Waller
ByF.A. Walker

~ the average man is that he does
not get excited frequently enough.
Excitement is only MULTIPLIED
ENTHUSIASM.
The man who lacks enthusiasm
doesn't get far, whatever road he trav-
els.
One of the chief faults of a snail is
that it never has the sensation of ex-
element.
1t crawls along in seemingly aim
less fashion, and having reached the
nowhere for which it was headed, 1t
stops to contemplate it's effectiveness
Nobody is ever interested in snail,
and only the dullard copies him.
If you want to see enthusiasm and
excitement in animal life, watch an
ant. Everything interests him. Every
thing has meaning for him. Every
thing he sees or feels is matter of
investigation and study.
He is excited all the time and ac-
complishes something every minute.
Every boy and every man ought to
be excited about what he is doing
He should be so intensely interested
in it, so thoroughly in love with the
task and it's accomplishment, that It's
finish should find him thrilled with
enthusiasm.
Can you imagine Edison working
without enthusiasm and excitementf
Can you conceive the feverish eager
ness with which Calico worked
through the night on that first crude
telescope and with what excitement
he took his first look through 1t toward
the far-off stars? Yet that telescope
was not as powerful as the opera
glass you carry to the theater.
Can you imagine with what excite
ment Nine. Curie looked upon the
first tiny speck of radium which she
had distilled from the tons Of mate
rial which concealed it?
THE GLORY OF LABOR is ITS
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The real wages of work is the salts
faction of production.
The man who makes a machine of
himself, who finds no interest and no
basis of enthusiasm in his daily task
is little better than the OK.
There Is no labor so mental and no
task so hard that it has not in 1t a
reason for enthusiasm.
The scrub woman. whose knees are
calloused a;yd whose arms ache from
her lowly labors may still find dis
tinct pleasure and an actual enthusi-
asm when she sees the glistening
cleanliness accomplished by her hands.
The teamster can be enthusiastic
office boy can get excited about the
rush of business where he is employed.
Everybody has some reason to get en-
thusiastic and excited about their
work. If they have no reason they
are either following the wrong voca-
ton or they are looking on the world
and its doings with distorted vision.
If your present work doesn't en-
thuse you, if you cannot get excited
and happy about it, find something
else to do. Get another job. Find
something that will stir you up and
rouse your mind and hurry your fingers
and leave you, when the day is done,
anxious for tomorrow and the bigger
accomplishment that it will make pos
sible.
Don't be content to be snail.
A SNAIL NEVER GETS ANY
WHERE.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"cocKNEY"

"A S USED by writer's of the
4 n word "Cockney" meant
molly-coddle, an effeminate per
son, child that had been cock
led" or coddied too much by
it's mother. Then, because the
men who lived in a city were sup
posed to be less virile and
strong than those who lived in
the country, the rural population
commenced to apply the term
to residents of London and
other cities throughout Eng
land. Gradually this meaning
was restricted and localized I'M
til it was applicable only to Lon
doners, or, as one writer of the
period phrases it, particularly
to connote the characteristic in
which the born Londoner is sup
posed to be inferior to other En-
glishmen." The opposite term
the one applied by the townsmen
to the farmer-was Clown"
meaning a lout, an uncouth, i'll
bred man.
Today, the name Of Cockney
Is applied generally to London
ers but specifically to those of
certain station-'Arry and
'Arriet being typical of the class
which is supposed to drop it's
his and to replace them where
they do not belong. But any
one who has come in contact
with the Cockney as he is today
will testify to the fact that 1t
is far cry from him to the
"cockney" Of the Elizabethan
period. The London Cockney
may not be well-educated or
super-refned in his speech-but
he is emphatkally not a milk
sop.

Railroads Compelled to Pay More
Than Prevailing Rate for Unskilled
Labor

Railroads Competed TO ray More
Than Prevailing Rate for Unskilled
Labor
The basic rates of pay for UNI
skilled railroad labor (as fixed
by agreements made under gov
eminent control of the rail-
roads, are 80 to AZ l-2 cents an
hour-S3.12 to 1888 per eight
hour day.
The Railroad Labor Board
now in session in Chicago, has
declined to suspend these rates
and permit the roads, as they re-
quested to pay the prevailing
rate of wages.
In their petition to the Lab
or Board with respect to wages
paid to unskilled labor the rail
roads said:
"Since your decision was
made on July 20, 1920, these
rates have fallen materially
throughout the United States.
