ENERGY is CAPITAL

A LAKE cannos turn a turbine,
a though it contains more water
than a cataract
All the knowledge you can accumu-
late In lifetime will do you no good
unless 1t can be translated into energy.
The difference between doors and
wishers in this life is a difference Of
energy.
The wishers want things. The doors
get them. 1t is hard work getting
them, but energy is the force that can
accomplish hard work.
The reason you see SO many men
succeed whom you know to be no bet
ter fitted mentally than failures Of
your acquaintance Is because the sue
cessful men are energetic.
Energy Is the driving force behind
everything that is done.
All of us have some of 1t, or we
could not live.
Those who have a great deal usu-
ally get along, unless they constantly
misdirect it.
There are, of course, energetic peo-
Pile who never get very far But even
they get farther than they would If
they were content to sit STILL
If the maxim, Everything comes to
him who waits" we're amended to
read Nothing comes to him who
waits" 1t would be true.
AS 1t stands 1t Is one of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
In existence.
Your energy is your capital. Use
1t wisely and economically and it will
pay you an almost usurious rate Of
interest
Half use it, or waste 1t on things
that are Of no value, and you will just
about make living, which is thing
no man Of ambition wants to do.
Education teaches us to use our en-
ergy profitably. An educated man
can, or should, get more out Of the
same amount of energy than an I'M
educated man, exactly as turbine
gets more out Of column Of falling
water than the old-fasnioned overshot
wheel
Yet the energy must be there or the
education must be useless. There
must be driving force which will ap-
ply what you have learned to your
problems. Nothing important was
sver accomplished by education alone.

WRITING 1T AT HOME


"A BUNCH of four-four happy kids
Chock full of fun and pleasure.
All four a mighty big expense,
But ev'ry one treasure.
And when I want it quiet like
So i can do my writing,
The noise that bunch begins to make
Sounds like two armies fighting.
One Chambers over my machine;
One asks for help with numbers;
One for my pencil makes demand;
One my tired knee encumbers.
"A dozen eggs cost forty cents,
What will three dozen costT'
And by the time / work 1t out
My thread Of thought is lost.
One sticky hand is reaching out
To grasp my thinning locks.
One piercing voice makes loud demand
For help with building blocks.
my pencils broke; please sharpen it
So can write the rest"
And then the thoughts I've garnered In
Are all knocked gally west.
But when, at last, the sandman comes
And ali four little heads
Are resting on the pillows white
OF two soft, downy beds;
And all is quiet round the house
Where once the noise did ring,
start to write-and then can't think
OF a dodgasted thing!

JOHN
BLAKE

II you haven't got energy, cultivate
1t. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will Inn
prove. and with physical energy you
will gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle a business tangIe IL you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing. The exercise will use up the en-
ergy that ought to be expended on the
Job. Your brains can't use what
your muscles have used already.
Energy is always capital, but 1t
must be well and prudently invested.
Take care Of yours. Add to 1t by
care Of your health. and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend it on
important matters, and don't be afraid
to expend it literally. It Is one thing
Of which the more you spend the
more you will have, provided, OF
course, 1t Is not foolishly wasted.

FAR-OFF TOMORROW

THOSE happy-go-lucky individuals
= who manifest so little interest in
the stirring events Of life, which are
buzzing like bees all around them, are
often insensible to their lamentable de-
linquencies.
Occasionally, however, their con-
seriousness flutters a moment, but,
seemingly changing its benumbed
mind, yawns, mods and falls asleep to
dream
But they are going to wake up and
do something tomorrow.
They will yank the old world from
it's easy chair and wake its billion in
habitants with an earthquake.
Hitherto they have been shaping a
brilliant course, not quite matured yet,
or In At state to be presented In it's
entirety 70 their intimates, who have
wept over them, prayed for them, and
done their utmost to arouse them to
action.
There is, however, no declaration on
the part Of these habituated drones Of
making undue haste.
The months and years stretch ahead
In long rows on either side Of tomor-
rows path. Why fuss, f1uster and
worry?

Something to Think About
BuF. A. UALKER

Why should they bother themselves
while youth is SC full of delightful en-
pectancies and time so abundant
They are not seeking the dull, com
mon roads in life, but the magnificent
avenues that take direct to fame and
wealth In the glare Of sunlight and
amid the plaudits of an admirina
world, swept suddenly off it's feet BY
the daring work of genius.
SO the years drift by, and In their
drifting there comes sometimes to
these disciples Of the god Of futurista
petrifying fear that makes them sicb
at heart.
With an odd mixture Of humility and
pride stirring in their ill-arranged
brain they are prompted to exertion-
But they have unconsciously lost the
skill which was theirs when life was
vibrant with power. They reach out
but they touch not. And now, all Of
sudden, terrible realization over
whelms them.
While they were lettering, putting
Off until tomorrow. their plodding as
sOciates were improving their time
gaining respect and an assured COM
petence for the bare days of winter,
sighting its appearance in the naked
branches Of the trees and drifts of
snOw-fiakes.
Tomorrow is mans most terrible
trouble maker. Turing by promises
which are seldom redeemed and leave
ing him ragged and alone at the cross,

lie buried in the piled up heaps o6
dust and ill-spent years.
