We do not believe in fighting
unless it is absolutely necessary,
and differences cannot possibly be
settled in any other way, as it is
the part of foolishness for two
sensible, well balanced men to have
a difficulty. When you find out
though that a fight is inevitable
the quicker you get at it the soon
er it will be over, because the long
er it is put off and wrangled over
the harder will be the conflict when
it does come.
The more you endeavor to pacify
same people the more obstreperous
they become. The same rule ap
plies to Nations. We have thought
for several years that a fight with
Mexico was inevitable and it would
seem from present appearances
that we were right. Uncle Sam’s
soldiers will now possibly have to
face the modern guns purchased
from the United States by the
Mexicans.
In every home where there is a
a baby there should also be a bottle
of McGEE’S BABY ELIXIR. It
may be needed at any time to cor
rect sour stomach, wind colic,
diarrhoea or summer complaint. It
is a wholesome remedy, contains
no opium, morphine or injurious
drug of any kind. Price . 25c and
50c per bottle. Sold by Wight &
Browne.
One of the most important les
sons any individual, young or old,
can lenin is the value of time; foi
time is not only money but can be
turned into money if the habit of
thrift attends its use. Those who
employ labor quickly realize the
importance of the time element in
all business transactions, for , the
labor cost, which is so vital an ele
ment in the cost of everything, de
pends upon the thriftinSss of the
worker in the use of his time. The
minute that does not produce
something is not only a wasted
minute but a costly ' minute to
somebody. Many a man fails be
cause he cannot get results from
labor.
Children should be taught to re
gard,the time they are not in school
as an opportunity to earn money.
It should not be idle time, or mere
ly play time, for the child does not
need recreation so much as a
change of occupation. Most of us
play too much; and the child that
taught to turn the out of school
hours into recreation that brings
returns has learned one of life’s
most helpful lessons.
The young nr an or won an stait-
ing out in a business career needs
to learn the same lesson,—that the
time out of business is not merely
for play, biit for self improvement.
It is not what you do between eight
and six that brings bussincss success
hut what you do from six to eight.
Visit any of the Young Men’s
Christian Associations that run
study classes, or the night schools,
and you will find a body of young
men and' womoti who properly
value the spare time business al
lows and are using it for self im
provement. These are marked
men. They are bound to win.
They will, get somewhere because
they are willing to pay the price in
self denial. They figure that three
or four nights a week for a year or
two will add materially to their
power do, and power to do com
mands its compensation. We puy
trained men, and nowhere is train
ing so easily to be had as in the
spare hours.
A young man applied to a bank
recently, saying that he worked
nights and had a few hours a day
to give to other work and wanted
to help the family by these added
efforts. He has the right stuff in
him. In the daily papers comes
the story of a man who was in a
like position, and, seeing an adver
tisement for a man who could give
a little extra time to the work in
mind, answered it and added ten
dollars a week to his salary for
eleven years with no injustice to
other demands. He was the only
applicant.
The world is full of disgruntled
and dissatisfied individuals who
would be happier and far better off
if they would stop whining and
complaining, and look around for
opportunities to earn extra money
or spend the spare hours in prepar
ation for the greater opportunities
that open to the trained man and
woman. The correspondence
schools have done wonders in train
ing students lor'better things, and
merit the thanks of all who are in
terested in the improvement of the
race.
Thrift of time will make a man
rich beyond his fondest dreams,
and waste of it will make him poor,
however rich he may be, and the
best lesson you can teach your
child—yea, the best lesson you can
learn yourself, is to use the time
you are not working for your boss,
or sleeping, or resting, in such a
way that it will put dollars in your
pocket or brains in your head. It
is likely to do both.
