ARE YOU A LEADER?
ONE of the strangest things in nature—
something that determines whether
you are to be a success or a failure— is
reported by a man just back from a fish
ing trip in Canada.
He saw a school of thousands of baby
salmon trout, about half as along as pins,
swimming in military formation, following
a leader. *
“That leader looked just like the rest,”
says the fisherman. “What made him
take charge of all the others? And what
made the others follow him as naturally
as the rear wheels of a jitney follow the
front wheels?”
If you can fathom that problem, you
have the secret of success—and the whole
science of government.
The fisherman took a minnow net and
caught the tiny trout leader. Immediate
ly another baby trout took the leader’s
place and the school swam on without an
instant’s pause.
Is that just instinct? Human beings
do the same.
In Chicago, 100 unemployed negroes
thought they’d found a way to escape rent.
Along the track. l , of the Illinois Central
Railroad, they built a dugout, like those
back of the lines in France during the war.
The railroad is evicting them.
The important news in the incident is
that, these 100 men had found it impossi
ble to live together without establishing a
well organized government. They had
their own city council, a mayor,’a judge, a
police force and a quartermaster’s depart
ment.
You can’t get away from this thing
railed government.
If you were shipwrecked on a South
•Sea island with two friends, it wouldn’t
be 10 minutes until one of you three would
become rule v r—step forward as leader,
begin to give orders and take the initiative
in hunting food, building shelter and se
lecting a location for a beacon-fire to at
tract passing ships.
a.
Wild geese fly in wedge formation,
with a leader at the head. Shoot that
leader and the formation will close up
without stopping, a new leader taking the
former’s place.
Shoot the leader of wild ducks and the
flock is confused. They head for the
nearest marsh and, after much quacking,
soar up again with a new leader. Do
they elect him? Indians say, yes.
Even the timber wolves, hermits by
nature, run in packs during winter, as a
combination for war, for acquiring food.
In parts of China, men live without
religion.
In ancient Sparta, they lived without
the family institution.
Rut wherever men congregate, that
organization called government is inevit
able. It’s a natural law—to have a lead
er.
WHERE TOURISTS LIKE TO GO.
'pOURISTS are pretty much the same
kind of folks as other folks. Trans
form yourself into a summer tourist and
go North, and travel through the Eastern
States and Canada as well. Notice par
ticularly on your travels where and what
pleases you best and see if your estimate
does not agree with the general run.
Then you will appreciate the things that
tourists like and know why they like them.
To begin with, tourists dote on a com
manding eminence, with a clean sweep
of a panorama. A city in the foreground,
with busy looking smokestacks, and the
appearance of life and activity, spread out
on a plain, with hills or mountains in the
distance and a winding river with steam
boats moving to and fro, would constitute
an attractive scene for tourists. That’s
the reason Augusta, with the Ron Air
and Hampton Terrace hotels, was the most
attractive point for tourists in the South,
outside of 1 lorida. Given the support of
the three big trunk lines of railroad and
there is not a point in Florida that would
be so popular.
Most tourists are persons of wealth
ami fashion and they are accustomed to
having things kept in tiptop shape at
home and they expect it when they travel.
Too much attention can’t be given to
beautifying the home and keeping it neat
ami trim an<L*n good order. They love
trees and birds and well kept lawns and
flower gardens. If beauty has its value
among ordinary people, it is at a premium
with tourists.
A well naved street and a well kept
street is a thing of beauty aud a joy for
ever with them, consequently it is a most
important thing to have streets, as they
are the first thing that strikes a tourists
eye when coming into town, and first im
pressions are the most lasting. Nothing
pays better dividends than a little monev
invested in street cleaning, and especially
is this true with cities that aspire to be
tourist points. Once tourists begin to
come to a city the numbers will increase
every so long as the proper accom
modations are furnished.
A WOMAN’S TEARS
\I7OMFIN cry more often than men, ac
»* cording to l)r. Albert H. Garvin of
the Detroit department of health.
They do. indeed. And isn't it a lucky
thing they do? Imagine living in a world
peopled entirely by folk who never weep
the thing out and get over it.
A woman's tears are an exhaust valve.
a comfort, a defense and a weapon.
After a trying day at home, a day in
which Tommy has soiled two or three
suits and refused to take his nap after
lunch, the ice man didn’t come and the
butcher sent a tough cut of meat, a weepy
hour spent over the tragedies before hus
'band comes home will spare a difficult
evening. It relieves the tension, mini
mizes the tragedy and brings back the
smile. A woman can really smile at her
own tears after the burden of the thing is
cried away.
Driven to the last notch in a point of
argument woman doesn’t depend upon
her reasoning ability to make the final
drive for goal, her last defense is crying.
She cries perhaps through sheer des
peration, impatience at her own stupidity,
perhaps for some other reason—but she
cries and her tears serve their purpose.
For it’s rarely that a woman’s argu
ment, backed by tears, fails. And rarely
does the argument which ends in tears,
end with an ugly tension and an atmos
phere of unfriendliness.
So a woman’s tears have their very
distinct place in the scheme of things.
They are not infrequently like an oil on
troubled water, like the cool evening air
at the conclusion of a scorching day.
READY-MADE CLOTHING
TWENTY years ago men’s ready-made
clothing waff not considered good
form. Such clothes were commonly sup
posed to wear poorly and fit badly, and to
be discreditable to an ambitious man. Then
there gradually developed a group of pro
ducers who began to establish higher
standards.
They began to educate the public up 1o
the idea that a fine type of ready-made
clothing could be produced. They describ
ed their methods of manufacture, dwelt on
their improvements, emphasized wearimf
qualities of their goods.
The effect was to persuade a lot of peo
ple to try ready-made clothing and the
consumption of this line of goods was tre
mendously increased. A multitude of men
who are very careful in their personal
appearance were induced to use ready
made goods.
The increased demand for this merchan
dise permitted the goods to be made on a
large scale where the benefits of quantity
production could be secured. When you
consider what excellent suits of clothes can
be bought today for $35.00 to $50.00, in
spite of the fact that the cost of labor and
materials has more than doubled, it is evi
dent that this line of business has given the
public splendid service.
Advertising has concentrated the trade
in the hands of competent people, and
standardized it so that it is done in the
most efficient manner. The prejudice
against ready-made clothing has disap
peared. The people who made poor wear
ing and ill-fitting stuff, have been largely
driven out by producers who have turned
out dependable merchandise.
This development could not have hap
pened if advertising had not been very
freely used, to educate the public up to the
new idea. And so it is constantly happen-’’
ing in every line, that advertising is show
ing the people how they can get their goods
by the most economical methods. People
who fail to study carefully the advertising
in The Herald are not doing what they
might to keep themselves up with the
times.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
IVY BERRIES A CURE FOR IVY POISONING.
THOUSANDS of City dwellers who are eager to
get out Into the wood* and brushwood hills,
are held back thy the dread of ivy poisoning
and Ha torturing eruption*.
Now relief is held out for all its Victims, by
almply eating vary small quantities of the berries
or even of ttie leaves and gradually increasing the
doae until they become Immune.
Beginning with a very tiny portion of one of
the crushed berries every day and gradually increas
ing, within ten day* two or three berries can be
taken without discomfort.
Skin specialists are now using a one per cent
solution of the tincture of rhus toxicodendrom, which
in the dress-parade name for poison Ivy.
One drop after the first meal, two after the
second and so on, drop by drop, until twenty drqps
after each meal are taken. After which a moderate
dose once a day or even once a week, will maintain
the Immunity.
Modern science cannot claim th* credit of in
venting this method of protection, for it has been one
of the "fubles" of rustic medicine, that ivy poison
could be cured in this way. But very few ever had
th* courage to try it.
The other method of protection for the lighter
attacks is by washing thoroughly in alcohol or in
gasoline, the hands and all exposed surfaces after
coming buck from the woods, or by scrubbing well
with plenty of soap, hot water and a nail brush.

Somewhere about the end of the
nlxtli month, If a baby has been
thriving normally, the first teeth,
usually the Jqv • r front ones, that
were lodged in baby's little jaws when
It was born, will appear, and these
will be followed at more or less .regu
lar intervals by the upper "incisors,'’
then the -'back teeth/’ and lastly
usually by the "cuspids," or. as they
are popularly called, the "stomach"
and "eye" teeth.
The following list shows about the
time when these teeth usually break
through the gums;
Two lows-r front teeth, at 5 to
7 months; two upper front teeth,
at 6 to 8 months; two more lower
front teeth, at 7 to 9 month*: two
more upper front teeth, at 8 to 10
months; four back (molar) teeth,
one on each side of each Jaw, at
10 to M months; four more molar

2 years; four cuspids ("eye" and
"stomach" teeth) at 2 to 2 1-3
years.

You are decidedly underweight, and

to ascertain whether or not some
Physical defect or disease is respon

In addition, you should drink a lib

exercise in moderation, sleep at least
eight hours every night with open
windows, and avoid undue excite

Dlfifharge from the navel may be
due to an abscess or ulcer of the ’skin,
or it may come from the little duct
leading Jnward from the navel, which
is normally closed at birth. In some
cases, this remains more or less open
and a dim barge results. The treat
ment of this condition is surgical. In
rare cases the discharge may be as
sociated with menstruation, in which
case attention should be directed to
this matter.

GOING SLOW
By DR WILLIAM E. BARTON.
FRIEND of mine
who drives a car
.spoke receptly to
me of "that intol
erable nuisance up
on the highway,
th e law - abiding
citizen."
I understood him
to mean that the
speed limit which
the law is com
pelled to set must
be adjusted to av
erage con dltlons,
and that when the
road is evidently
clear, any limit
which the statute
can justify itself
in setting becomes

unreasonably slow.
Without discussing it in its legal
bearings, or saying to what extent
obedience to the law should be a
matter of precise definition and when
it becomes a matter of reasonable In
terpretation, I think l know what my
friend had in mind.
Not long ago, Dr. Woods Hutchin
son asserted that "the slower you
live, the faster you die." He meant
that nothing wears men out so surely
as having no object in life to kindle
the enthusiasm and speed up effort.
The active life is the long life as well
as the productive life.
Not Work That Kills.
Tt is not hard work that kills men,
nor is it working rapidly.
A man can learn to work rapidly,
| read rapidly, think rapidly, and be
all the better for it in body and mind.
A man can yawn through the read
ing of a book, and take a month to
it, and know nothing about it when
it is don<\ while another man can
review books at the rate of three an
hour, and, without pretending to have
read them, can have an intelligent
opinion of each of them. Nor Is such
work necessarily superficial; it be
done with some degree of justice, and
with necessary rapidity.
Livlnfl Slcwly May Kill.
The than who learns to read a page
in half a miuuto can often tell more
about what is on that page than the
man who reads it with wandering
mind and spells out every word. *
Rapid work is not necessarily bad
work. Rapid living is not necessarily
wasteful living. Living slowly may
kill a man more rapidly than some
formr of living rapidly.
I do not remember ever to have
known a man Who worked himself to
death.
I have known many who have wor
ried themselves to death, and others
who died because they had nothing
left to live for.
