NEW HANEN'S FUTURE
 IS Asst RING

Optimism is beginning to reign m the managerial offices of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad. No less an authority on the subject than Edward G, Buckland, yicc-president of the railroad, in re- porting on the progress of the move- mont to enlist the support of the financial and industrial interests of Now England in the 1j-ycar six percent loan, stated in New Haven the other day that the outlook for the prosperity of this major Now England transportation properly is in all respects now sanguine.
 All observers in New England have known about the difficulties under which the railroad labored in tho past, and the cause of its difh- cutics: they also have been aware that the present management has been fulfilling it's function of re- vnmring the system in a very con- mondable manner considering tho condition in which they found tho property when they took hold of it. One reason for the success of the present management has been tha' it is composed of experienced rail- road men. and that there is no sem blance Of that financial control ot the system which within compara- lively recent memory threw fl upon the rocks.
 Vice-President Buckland succinct- ly placed the situation in the fol lowing light;
 "The New Haven has no float
 ing debt, it does not owe a dol
 lar to any bank. IL does not
 owe a dollar outside of its fund.-
 ed debt and its current lfabiii-
 ties. the latter being much less
 than it's current assets. 1t has no Raturities of conseaSsseo

Worth of Work

II 7 is common falacy for persons to estimate the
worth Of their work by the amount of energy they
put into it. Some assert that they work very hard
and get nothing for it, while others work but little and
get much for it.
The criterion of what mans work is worth is not
the amount of effort he puts into it, the number of hours
he works. anything of that sort but what his work
lis worth to the buyer.

based upon the expansion and contraction of certain
metals.
That one little idea netted him a million dollars
He might have worked all his life and not made a
million.

National Losses From
Commercial Crime

III
III crime. Last year people were swindled out of
~ s1,4O0,00O00O. That is $500, 100000 more than
they were swindled out of the year before.
These the figures Of such conservative organi-
cations the American Bankers Association Better
Business Bureau, Business Research Bureau of New
York University and the National Association of Credit
Men In its total bulk it probably represents greater
loss than all of the losses to the gunman the yegg and
the violent thief
They losses to shrewd operators who find loop
holes in the law rather than in the enforcement of law
They losses that fall with particular hardship
the honest people of this country who try to keep
away from violence and crookedness. ~
/ That is why these people should be protected by
government. There is superfluiy of law in many
fields There is not yet enough law with teeth in it to
prevent the smooth hevery of the engraved certificate
and the falsified ledger.
The National Association of Credit Men, aroused by
this growth of swindlng, is raising fund of
down the $500 0OO 900 losses last year to the
fraudulent bankrupt the phoney credit man. the quick
change artist in retail stores and other smooth operators
This association reports that the gunman and the segg
are abandoning their usual pursuits for the
fined methods of the credit crook.
But this worthy effort only touches one phase of
the problem.
Another $1,000 OO0, 900 is lost every year sheer
getrich-quck schemes The bulk of these involve the
sale of fraudulent securities With the glded tales of
the real money that has been made in Wall Street during
the last year the fake stock gentry almost to-
evince renewed activity
There is pressing need for government action
against these wolves
In the meantime, remember these things: Don't
put your money into anything that you don't know all
about at first hand from top to bottom.
The opportunities to make fortune overnight in
faraway land, in OIL in radio in motor stocks go
begging The people who know about those things viii
make the money.
If you have opportunity to invest, ask your bank
about it.
Unless advice to invest from expert like
that, whom you know throw the advice out the window
II you do, you will still have your money. !

OVER LIES HURDLES
What Constitutes Happiness?,
BY LOUIS E. BISCH
Copyright. 1895. Premier synd.. Inc.

What shall be looked upon as true
happiness has puzzled many people.
We think of state of mind or
being that ought to make an in
dividual happy and then immediate
ly we think Of someone just like
that who isn't happy at all.
The fact of the matter is that diff
ferent things make different people
happy. rr.
Jewels and pretty clothes make
women happy as a rule, but even as
to that there are exceptions.
1t is generally believed that
wealth brings happiness.
That rather, those that have no
wealth think they would be happy
il they had plenty Of money and yet
know Of several persons who claim
that their unhappiness started when
the gold began to pour into their
Golfers, that before they rested con-
tent with simple enjoyments, but
that wealth, with its new RESPONSE
bilities has created anxiety and fear.
A good job well done gives hap
piness.
There is scarcely any exception
to that truism.
To give happiness to others yields
happiness to yourself. At least most
people are constituted that way.
Achieving ones ambition in life
often gives a feeling Of satisfaction
which amounts to happiness. In
this case, however. one is likely to
approach the goal set for oneself so
gradually that one does not mark
happiness as beginning at any par
ticular time.
Music can mako people happy.
The right kind Of music for the
mood Of the moment is almost sure
fire.
Works Of art OF all kinds will
make people happy who know how
TO appreciate the beautiful.
Books offer an unlimited supply
Of happiness. Unfortunately the
average person does not read books
half enough.
Love, despite its prosnancies, may
produce exquisite happiness.
The same may be said Of chill

dren. They may be very trying at
times but when all is said and done
they can give us much comfort and
joy.
Religion may be a source Of great
happiness. srd
All the examples-and there are,
of course, many additional ones--are
based more or less upon outward
influences, things in the environ
ment that react upon our emotions.
There is a source of happiness,
however, that really transcends
through all.
It is the truest, because it Is not
dependent 80 much upon outward
influence.
It emanates from within oneself.
II is that complete adjustment Of
body and mind, Of physical and men
tai well being, that we know, psy.
chologicallly, can be achieved.
Keep your conscience clear, your
body in good health, and your mind
free from worry, and all forms Of
happiness will flow from IL.
And what is the happiest news of
all, that very thing can, with a lit
tie practice, actually be done!

noranee Of the law is no excuse" 1t
seems a pity to think we must suf-
fer for doing what we did not know
was wrong. But there is no escape.
Natures laws are immutable and
unacceptable.
Almost every illness is due to ig-
norance. If it is not due to ignor-
ance. it comes from wilful disre-
gard of known facts. Carelessness,
indifference. conceitedness and pure
cussedness are important casual fac
tors in disease production.
There is little prospect of over
coming wilful disregard Of the rules
Of health. The indifferent individ-
ual must be left ito stew in his
own juice" He is hopeless. The only
way / know Of reaching him to ap-
peal to his regard for his family and
friends. When he realizes that
others suffer if he is sick. that their
burdens are increased and their
lives endangered. he may shake off
his indifference and seek to be well
for their sakes. ~
am endeavoring to point out to
interested persons the pathways
which lead to health. i want to dis
pei the ignorance Of health's geogra-
ply. There are physical landmarks
which should mean lust as much to
the seeker after health as material
landmarks mean to the explorer.
To get to the point, what are the
fundamental things? How can one
begin TO cultivate a manner Of liv-
ing which will make for health and
long life.
The so-called vital organs" are
the heart, kidneys, lungs. brain and
digestive tract. 1t would be difficult
to get along without a spleen, liver,
eyes and. indeed, all the other or
gans but the five / have mentioned
ore absolutely essential to life.
The brain is so shut off and pro-
tected by the bony skull that we
need not worry about that. But the
heart. kidneys, lungs and digestive
tract are ours to abuse or to pro-
tect Just as we please. Abuse Of the
kidneys and abuse Of the digestive
organs are founded on the same
mapper Of living so we can group
them together. You see, then, what
we do with the heart. the lungs and
the digestion viii decide our phys
ical fate.
Exercise or ats omission deter
mines the heart health. Fresh air
and proper breathing fix the lung
health. Right or wrong eating de-
cides the condition Of the digestion.

IN Egypt, has recently been disentombed by How

No expense was spared TO preserve his body
About all the money that some people make
amounts to golden coffin. The acquistve instinct
lasts longer than any other and holds neven until
death.
Many people seem to be concerned principally with
providing themselves with golden collins or to encase
themselves with much money after they are dead
But the only worthwhile monument any man can
leave after he gone is endowment an idea that
makes this world better place to live in for those that
come after him. ---.---
