Wisdom of Making Most of One's Own Field
n ... -
By EIXA WHKKLFIt WILCOX.
Co.ijrTlght, 19Lr, by Star Company.
A hlnh school boy has mide a request
for a series of articles on good manners.
The boy may acquire good manners If
he will Indulge every day In a little self
analysis and find
that the fundamen
tal principle of good
manners Is kindness
of heart. Next
comes consideration
of others. Never
to Indulge In any
habit or conduct or
speech which can
annoy, wound or
displease without
good cause those
with whom we as
sociatethat Is the
platform on which
we can easily build
a structure of good
manners.
While It Is an excellent rule to pans
lightly over the faults of others and to
dwell upon their worthy qualities and
virtues. It rerves a good purpose to keep
a little mental notebook of the things
which annoy us In others, but to keep
these notes only as reminders of thi
things we do not wish ourselves to do
or say.
A man who was eager for an education
and who had acquired the principle of
correct grammatical expression was
thrown, much with illiterate people in his
dally associations. After some years
he became notable for his elegance of
language, and his fine powers of con
versation. He was asked how he man
aged to avoid acquiring the slip-shod
expressions and grammatical mistakes of
his companions.
The man answered, "Whenever one of
my comrades or acquaintances uses an
expression which I know to be correct I
mentally say the phrase as It should be
said. For Instance, when I hear a man
ssy. 'I done It,' or 'I seen a feller do
that,' 'I hain't got It,' or similar phrases,
I repeat mentally, 'I did it,' .'I saw a man
do that,' 'I haven't got it etc. I never
permit one of those expressions to pass
by without mental correction. In that
way my mental notebook Is filled with
the rleht expressions and the wrong ones
do not come to me when I wish te speak."
This is an excellent rule for acquiring
of good language. The same rule can be
applied to manners. Whoever wounds
us by rudeness, vulgarity, loud talking
in public places, or other disagreeable
habits, should be observed and remem
bered only as a guard to better manners
for ourselves In these matters. Any
bright. Intelligent youth, ambitious to ac
quire a pleasing deportment needs only
to watch and listen to the wellbred peo
ple of his acquaintance te obtain a foun
dation for good manners, and a knowl
edge of the right things to ds. Then by
reading out of his mental notebook the
things wnleh he has found displeasing
to himself In others, he can soon acquire
a long list of the things not to do.
A well modulated voice in men or
women and a clear-cut, distinct enuncia
tion In speech arc Important facts In an
agreeable personality. These can be
acquired by a little practice. Courtesy
to older people and to women Is of great
importance. The absence of haste or
no'si In the partaking of food and the
avoidance of lounging attitudes at the
table are also Important. In conversa
tion with our fellow beings there are
two well known quotations which may
be serviceable.
One is:
Three things to observe with care;
Of whom you speak, to whom you
soeak.
And how and when and where
The other Is before repeating any un
pleasant news or disagreeable gnsslp
about any one. to ask one's self: "Is It
true. Is it kind, is it neceanary?"
Sometimes on important statement may
be true, but It Is neither kind nor neces
sary to repeat. Sometimes It Is true and
not kind, and yet necessary to repeat.
It is neeescary to tell a woman with a
baby in her arms if she is about to call
at a hjuse where there Is an Infectious
disease, that such a condition exists
within. Hut It la only where there Is
necessity to warn or where there Is a
possibility of helping and changing the
existing conditions that one Is really jus
tified In repeating and commenting upon
the disagreeable and painful things of
life.
People who possess the refinement of
good manners always leave a pleasant
and stimulating Impression upon those
with whom they converse. Even In the
brief Interview In which only the ordi
nary events or happenings of health and
weather art touched upon, tho really
gond-mannered Individual whose man
ners spring from a good heart wlil find
an opportunity to leave an agreeable
and brightening effect.
Pig deep In your heart first, young
man, then call your brain, your memory,
yoirr powers of observation to bear up-in
life, and you will need no book of eti
quette to direct you, although It may
not harm you to read one.

Most of the friction that exists la the
world proceeds from being d ssstisfted
with what belongs to us and then going
about .to secura satisfaction by trying
to gat hold of what
belongs to somebody
else.
To become content
to cultivate one's
own field or diocese,
instead of grasping
territory that lies
outside Is a lesson
that it is going to
become mora and
more necessary to
learn, according as
population multiplies
and pressure of man
upon man and front
ier upon frontier be
comes mors and
mors closs and In'
tense.
It is impossible
to conceive what the world will become
la that respect whsa war shall have be
come eliminated by the spread of a more
fraternal spirit. and whea mortality
hall have beeo diminished by the, larger
development of sanitary sc'.encs. To be
satisfied with what possess and to
confine our efforts to raising It to the
highest state of productiveness is the
only policy that can show Itself safe
te be pursued, whether It be our Individ
aal Well-being that we consult or the
W.U-belag of the general public.
Kefareoco to landed property will illus
trate In a simple way th bearing of the
principle for whtt-h I am contending.
The time was, and not very long ago,
when land In our country was so abund
ant and extended Itself toward the west
In such unlimited area, that the farmer
needed only to akun oft the surface
wealth of th soil, and then move far
ther on to soil that was si ill virgin, and
here the process of exhaustion had not
even been besun. That policy Is now be
coming increasingly impossible.
Ws have not yet reached the limit of
our landed possessions, but are certainly
approaching it. and with tola result, that
tbe agriculturist Is finding himself in
creasingly constrained to get more out
of the land which he already owns
rather than to increase his holdings by
the acquisition of additional acres. That
is what Is understood by Intensive farm
ing, a method of so treating the sol) as
to make It yield more than It yields of Its
own accord.
I have no present Interest! however. In
the solution of the agricultural problem
except as It Illustrates the principle that
th true policy of life, whether for th
Individual or otherwise, lies In culti
vating our blessings and In getting all
possible out of our present holdings,
whatever may be their nature, rather than
expending our efforts in th attempt to
add to them.
H was a vary good moralist, as well
as a sound political economist, who said
"I have learned. In whatsoever state I
am, therein to b content." that Is to say,
to b self-sufficient, not obliged to go
outsld of what I am and have. In order
to complete my satisfaction.
We ar all of us Indifferent to our
present mercies, and loss th advantage
and comfort proper to accrue to us from
them, by th exclusive endeavor to add
to them Instead of taking time to realise
what Is already contained In them. The
policy I am Insisting upon is th only
one that can seoure peae between In
dividuals, states and nations. As we
hav not the power to create anything
new, getting more tor ourselves usually
means getting it away from somebody
else; and that means quarrel; It means j
war, social war or international. That
accounts for the present condition in
Kurope, and for similar conditions as
they have existed down the whole line of
history.
i'eace cannot be legislated. It will be
mad possible only by a change of dis
position. Individuals will quarrel and
natk ns will go to war till they learn
to satisfy themselves with what they
hav Instead of trying to satisfy them
selves with what does not belong to
them.
One would like to be allv a hundred
years from now In order to read a Just
history of the events that ar now
transpiring. We are too near c-ur.own
day to b In a situation to assess a fair
value upoa people and their motives and
purposes. Our Judgments may not be
altogether Incorrect, but It la one of th
human Impossibilities to see things and
to rate people exactly as they are so
long as we survey thent through aa
atmosphere of our own personal con
cern. Moses, Julius Caesar, Alfred the Oreat,
and a few of somewhat later date, lived
at a sufficient distance from today to
give us opportunity to put upon them a
fair estimate. Their relatives are all
dead and the ! '"i"t which engage us
today are so different from those whl
ooci.pkd thent I tea as to alford us an
unembarrassed opportunity to give these
ancient worthies a fair rating.
That, however, cannot yet be said re
garding the personages that are playing
a role In this great contemporary trag
edy. But the time will come when that
can be done and when it will be done.
And It will be great reading. Epitaphs
and ohiu.ary records will be traced with
an historic pen that will draw deeper
and more enduring lines than are ever
carved Into marble or bronse, and we
should Ilk to be there to read It when
It Is done, and when the heat and th
passion of the present are all by, and.
when from the voluminous records, that
are now from day to day in course of
preparation, there has been distilled th
final verdict that will remain unrepealed
to th end of time.
The last scene of the tragedy that is
now being enacted will sooner or later be
played and the curtain rung down. At
that time,, to all present appearance, our
wn country will be standing forth with
strength unabated and with msntaJ.
moral and financial resources unex
hausted. While the nations that are now In con
flict will all of them be staggering under
th burdens which they hav heaped,
upon themselves aad entangled la th
telle with which thy have become en
snarled, the United State will be ever
more than conscious of Us strength and
vitality and of th enlarged opportunity
given It to be a leader among tha peo
ples of tha earth ami a champion of the
principles 'and Institutions of which w
are th national exponent.
What a splendid challenge addressee
Itself to all such of our young men aa
will rise to the level of the opportunity.

Nemo Self-Reducing Corsets with Nemo Relief Bands were introduced in
1906. They have been popular from the beginning, and are now in greater
demand than ever. For some types of stout figure, they are the most satisfactory
corsets ever made.
The Improved Relief cBands are now composed largely of semi-elastic Lastikops
Webbing. They simply gather up a large "spready" abdomen; support, reshape
and reduce it with delightful comfort.
The elasticity of the Relief Bands and the gentle friction of the Self-Reducing
Straps produce a passive massage that gradually softens the excess fat, which is
absorbed and removed, perrnanendy reducing both the size and weight.
Three distinct models, for three distinct types of the full figure:
No. 402 For a short stout figure, small or flat bust,
excess flesh on abdomen rather than on hips
No. 403 For a figure of medium
bust, large hips and abdomen
No. 405 For a tall figure with full bust, large hips
and abdomen
r than on hips . . . nA
height, with ul!$300
CAUTION: The supporting, reducing and auto-massage service of these
corsets is due to the Nemo patented construction the free play of the Bands and
Straps against the body. Imitations are made with straps and bands of similar appearance,
sewtd on to the corset, and therefore IMMOVABLE. These, of course, have no supporting,
reducing or auto-massage value, and only add to the weight and bulk of the corset, Look
foe the trade-mark NEAfO. v That is your protection against useless imitation.
Every Nemo Corset is an extra value simply as a corset. For the hygienic features
which are priceUstyou PAY NOTHING EXTRA.
