Are You Really Interested in Your

81 can tell the man who has fl

the effort made to wait on me-" said
an observant man.
An employe represents the firm to
the public in theory, but how many
represent the employer when it comes
to an indefatigable interest in pleas
ing a customer
This is good question for you
to ask yourself as an employe:
Can you truthfully say that you
have tried to please and satisfy
every customer as ii you owned the
store yourself?
Isn't it true that you have met the
customer with the idea that if he did
not want to buy, it is not your
loss. and you let it go at that2
Have you ever made an effort to
become personally interested in your
work.
Are you more interested than it
requires to hold your job?
You would get more satisfaction
out of your job if you were inter-
ested.
Interest means greater success,
and greater success means more pay.

So off they went. And Mrs.
Woodchuck hurried so fast that she
was quite out of breath when she
reached Aunt Polly Woodchuck's
house. She had to sit down and rest
before she could tell Aunt Polly the
news that was on the tip OF her
tongue.
While waiting for her guest TO
compose herself, Aunt Polly Wood
chuck looked over her spectaclcs at
Billy, who fingered near the door.

And though her tone was severe,
Billy Woodchuck took heart. He
thought he saw twinkle in the old
lady's eye. II can see," Aunt Polly
told him, "that you need all apple"

And Billy Woodchuck declared as
soon as he had eaten it that he felt
much better.

Polly said to Billy's mother, who
was at last beginning to get her

Mrs. Woodchuck had began to
look disappointed. But now her
face frightened. "Oh, no! There's

air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost I'M.
mediate relief. Splendid for throat

and bronchial asthma

pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract. and has been used for genera
tions for throat and chest ailments.

druggist for "2k ounces OF PineK'
with directions. and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

Is it true that linen is cold and

Cotton is usually recommended
for summer wear for babies, and
wool for winter wear. The reason
is that both fabrics absorb moisture
