Something to
Think Ab0uf
THE REAL CONQUERORs
By +. 4. WALKER

TT is not the general who takes Q
I city and leaves behind him name
for military sagacity. who is the real
conqueror in life. but the unknown
private. who fights a single handed
battle with self and finally triumphs.
1t is this lowly warrior who has
the most to overcome. He goes to
battle In silence. conscious Of the over
whelming odds arrayed against him.
There are no shrleking Shells q
roaring cannon to announce his coa-
ing-nO bugle calls nor throbbing
drums.
Often he fights side by side with
thousands who utter not q sound.
Once he awakes to some defect Of
character which threatens his ruin,
he girds his armor and faces the
foe.
And II by valiant fighting he sue
ceeds in saving himself. he comes
forth from the fray real conqueror.
His name Is unpublished In tho
press, but It Is sung among the angels
He has overcome and to him will
be given the reward promised in the
Scriptures.
Passion. pride, selfishncss. nvarice.
dIsobedience and forgetfulness of tho
Golden Rule are among the enemies
that men fight alone.
They are In every corner OF the
earth, In our own homes In our own
hearts.
From them come our repininSs and
tears, our fears and failures.
To overcome these sulking foes
ought to be our paramount purpose.
for, what doth 1t profit a man IL
he gain the whole world and lose
his own soulr
In the worlds news today you may
rend pathetic stories Of men and won-
en- who have fallen from high estates
through failure to conquer themselves.
Married pairs have broken their
troih bank clerks have pllfered, and
all manner Of men and women have
blighted their lives and the lives Of
their families. simply because OF for
getfulness Of duty in a moment Of
weakness. when they were unable to
control AN evil spirit.
They lacked the power to conquer
self. and in their impotence they de-
serted the front line Of brave fighters,
skunk back In dismay to the rear.

breakfast, under the pump!
You can sleep all dayy' Hal
leck would grumble. LAS for me,
I'm a slave-I'm more held down
than any slave!"
To Larry, though. there did
come moments of depression:
moments when he wondered If
the life he lived were worth
while. For to a young man in
old New York, no matter how de-
voted he might be to the pursuit
Of pleasure, there were bound to
be intimations of the idleness Of
his ways.
New York was growing city,
n busy, a Woodworking city. It
was great port. through which
there flowed much of the trade
of the stirring nation. Already 1t
had outstripped Philadelphia;
Perth Amboy, once its rival, had
stink back into something like
oblivion. It had a magnificent
harbor: past 1t flowed the Hud-
son river, navigable itself to Al.
bGny, and reaching still farther
westward by the Erie canal.
There was vision in New York,
and Larry Delavan, knowing
everyone worth knowing, was
bound to hear the talk that went
about concerning the country's
growth and what the future was
to bring.
y His neighbor, Mr.. Schuyler, the
great banker, was one of the men
who sometimes fired his magma
ton. He had known Betty
Schuyler all her life; she had a
pretty way of calling to him,
sometimes, to come and dine
with them, taking pity, in her in
nocence. upon his lonely bache-
lor estate-and knowing, too,
that while Ariana de Puyster was
abroad Larry was unlikely, of his
own volition. to seek much COM
pany outside his house. And
Betty had her own notions of
how good for him were the par
ties that, at times, woke her up
in the still hours of the night.
This is great country"
Larry heard Schuyler say, once.

Now, my. friend, let me talk to
you plainly.
You may behind you, I say
may be-as perfectly well as you
think you are. The little" trou-
bles you speak of may have
cleared up as you think they
have.
But, on a safe estimate, there
are this very day in the United
States more than a quarter of n
million people in the consultation
rooms of the more than 10000
physicians of the country who
have not recovered from precisely
the same little" things you have
mentioned.

age has been done.
In other words, each of tbesa
three conditions is caused bv
germs.
The germs Of a cold" or a
sore throat may penetrate the
pockets called "crypts." of one
or both tonsils, and there multi
ply without causing pain or ten
derness in the tonsils.
Or the germs of a decaving
tooth may continue to live deem

the tooth without causing pain
or otherwise attracting pain.
They do not cause pain, be-
cause the pus that they form ia
absorbed into the system and
consequently does not cause the
pressure which alone IS the cause
of pain.
Then, too, there are many other
conditions-literally hundreds of
them-any one or more OF which
may have come about just as
insidiously.
The time to head off serious
mischief is at the very start.
The only way to get rid of
them is to find them. and the
only way to find them is to have
yourself carefully examined.

Mocking Bird flew up and
whisked aronud our heads and
scolded angrily.
All the while the monkey was
watching US from above. Very
carefully he crept down through
the branches and started to make
for the nest.
II knew that bird was foolish
to build his nest IN this jungle

Bunny.
And it was true, for the very
minute the monkey got near the
nest, about twenty of the wasps
flew about and hurled themselves
at him, and he went crying to the
top of the tree to nurse his
stings.
Lucky thing for the hooking
bird family" / said in astonish-
ment.
''They know that" announced
Bunny wisely. THAT'S the very
reason why they build their nests
near n wasp's. The partnership
between hooking birds and wasps
is one Of the best known In
nature" he added, cooking his
head on one side and looking as
dignified as a professor.
I'm glad for the hooking
birds" said Bobby thoughtfully,
as we sat down to wait for Mrs.
Mocking Bird to sing.

STOP annoying a man who is

made 1t clear that he wishes you
to forget him is undignified, and
will cheaper you in your own
eyes when you stop to think
Your course indicates clearly that
what you feel Is an infatuation

fed by the fact that all such
feelings are attracted by the I'M

your vanity or curiosity or to
try to compel the second mans
interest.
