Service Men Should Plan
For Post War Jobs Now

Bsbson Park. Mass, Aug. II -
Many inquiries are coming TO me
from the families OF Service Men
regarding what their boys should
do after returning home. or course
most OF those who left good posi-
tons will be taken back by their
old employers. On the other hand,
. larger percentage OF the men in
our armed forces never had worth
while, II any positions. To these
men l make the following sugges-
lions.
Opportunity Everywhere
A prominent magazine which was
especially interested in developing
national advertising once employed
me. The publishers were especial
ly DESTROYS for me to discover
some product not now proftably
marketed. After three months of
intensive study | was forced TO re.
port that was unable to find d
single industry In which some con-
Germ, somewhere, was not already
making millions. This included
everything from cradles TO collins
This is even more true today
than II was at the time OF this stu.
dy. II shows that success depends
upon the man rather than the in.
dustry In which he is engaged or
the locality where he works. This is
especially important for young men
to remember in this new age when
they expect everything TO be plan.
ned for them and when they will
temporarily be seeking security
rather than freedom.
What About Small Buslnessr
Opportunities are found every.
where for those with integrity, in
dustry and the pioneering spirit.
This will be truer after the war
than ever before although the
temptation to "let George do it.
will also be far greater Although
the small businessman has a hard
er row to hoe than the big corpora
tons, yet there may be more op-
portunity for the individual with
the small businessman. This is
probably what the Readers Digest
has In mind in offering $4,000 in
prizes In its August issue. The
published answers to this inquiry
will be very interesting.
The big business corporation has
. momentum which carries II along
through the power OF organization
and money together with the abili-
ty to use national advertising profit
ably. II is not so dependent upon
the energy and imagination OF any
one individual The small bust
nessman, however, Is absolutely
dependent for success upon a few
exceptional men. Although as an
investor prefer to put my money
into a large corporation, yet as
returning Service Man | would
seek to help some small business
man.

send a wire TO Matthew. He would
have it when he returned to the
hospital. She would word II dis
creetly but he would understand.
She would say: Terribly happy for
you, all my love to you both.
Presently she went into her bed
room and made ready for bed. She
wouldn't sleep, Of course. She was
a poor sleeper at best, dating from
all the nights she had been up with
Matthew as baby, and later, when
he was schoolboy when she had
lain awake, listening for his breath
ing, getting up often to put blan-
ket over him, or to remove one. Then
when he had gone away to school
she hadn't slept, because she was
lonely. So she had fallen into the
habit Of reading in bed, even after
coming home from a party, a play.
Mary got into bed, arranged her
pillows, and picked up one of the
many bright-jacketed books which
were at her hand. Kate knocked

My readers who are always ask
ing me how TO turn their gray hair
back to normal will be interested
to know that over half the patients
were gray before 40 years of age,
and, IN n case, the hair was re-
stored to its original brown by the
treatment. So | can say that the
only treatment of gray hair known
to me is to eat liver once a day.
At least it is harmless.

years of age to know what the
symptoms of Addisonian anemla
are. Fatigue and weakness were

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
H. H.: What are the symptoms
of stone in the bladder? What
causes this trouble? Is there any
cure or treatment except opera
ton?
Answer: Symptoms: A large
number give no symptoms. Others
cause pain, stoppage of urinatlon
and blood and pus in the urine.
The causes are various--in elderly
men prostate enlargement. in
women prolapse of the bladder as
an old sequel of childbirth, in
children the cause is not known.
For complete cure the stone can
often be crushed and washed out
through a c~ystoscope, sometimes
with urinary sedatives it gives no
trouble for many years.

farther apart. To himself he had
dared confess tIat he thought Of
Anne far oftener than Laura, and
not merely as the New York pirl,
either. He had talked about her
WIN Dan. He had SenSed that Dan
was a little Interested in her de-
spite Dams .aus..ng assertion that
he wasn't Interested in any girls
except rich ones whom he could
marry for money. And nOW it
seemed Dan had tried to drown
Anne. That was an exaqgeration,
or course, but he undoubtedly had
rescued her after the boat tipped
over. Mrs. Gander hadn't the NINA
10 make up a thing like that.
AND 1t Was difficult to think Of
Dan tipping over accidentally. Dan
had been able to handle a boat
since boyhoOd. Now he wanted
Dan, wanted to talk to him, want
ed to find out what had really hap

not ell him. And he telt it wa i'm

1t was this thought which made
nm walk past the Reynolds house
without going in. From the side
walk he could look into the familiar
llVlng room and see the old lady in
her chair. Anne was sitting beside
her, evidently reading aloud. Laura
sat on the Jther side at a table
with some papers spread out be-
tore her. She was going over ac-
counts, but when she raised her
head he got the distinct impression
she was waiting for him. She had
called his Office while he was out
today and left word with MISC
Illler that she wanted to see him.
Probably she had expected him to
drop around to her little library.
He had been too busy to do so. He
realized now that he had made sure
he was too busy to do SO.
