DOUTINE workers whether In the
N Office or the factory perform
functions necessary to the COM
lnunity, but their numbers are so
great that their remuneration is
small and their social importance
seldom recognized. The young man
who wishes to be something more
than a routine worker must train
himself for higher positions There
are many subjects dealing with
business which it may be advan-
tageous for him to study. One Of the
most important Of these is Ac.
countancy.
No one course of training gives so
wide a knowledge OF the major acti.
vities of business as Accountancy.
In addition. Accountancy affords a
training in rigid thinking and in
habits of accuracy and thoroughness
that are essential to business sue
cess.
Moreover, the operation of every
department. however small. is based
on facts and figures which are sup
piled by the accounting department.
Management judges the success OF
every department head by facts and
figures supplied by accounting. The
person who expects sometime to be
in charge OF other people must be.
come accountancy minded and the
best way he can do this is through
training In accounting.

Focal point of the celebration viii
be COoperstown, N. Y, birthplace
of baseball in 1889. 1t was there
that General Abner Doubleday orig
mated the first game of baseball
100 years ago. Doubleday, who was
then a youngster of 20, laid out the
first diamond and devised the rules
which sired the most truly Ameri-
can game of all.
From this back-lot game for boys,
baseball has grown in its hundred
years to the stature of the greatest
team sport IN the world. It has
come to personify Americanism ev-

American qualities of sportsman

Concentrated Foods Desirable

The well balanced diet, with its
full quota of minerals and vita
minis is basic to good health for
all. But in order to produce a
gain in weight, the diet of indi-
viduals belonging to the slender
type should be composed of easily
digested foods, which can be uti-
lized by the body with a minimum
of effort; and it should include
generous amounts of concentrated
and highly nourishing foods.
Included IN this classification
are eggs, cheese, cream, butter
or margarine, bacon, bread, cere-
ais, cream soups, custards, ice
cream, rice and tapioca buildings.
The addition of two or three
glasses of milk to the regu-
lar meals will be found useful in
increasing the fuel value of the
diet. Milk also belongs in the
reducing diet, but there it is used
to replace other high caloric foods.
Fruit juices viii be found useful
in stimulating the appetite of those
who desire to gain; and the fuel
value of these beverages may be
increased by the addition of milk
or cream.
