Lord Bacon Said,
Digest"
This is the Secret of Life in Bus
iness or Health.
It Is claimed that Lord Bacon struck the
prime keynote of life when he wrote:
"Some books are to be tasted, others to
be swallowed, and some few to be chewed
nd digested." .
He wrote of books; many who have tol-
owed him have written likewise of life,
The man who digests his business, makna
uccess; the actor or actress who digests
his or her art brings fame; the man who
lives, life and digests it as hv should Uvea
as was tUe intention he should live.
It is not the food you swallow or taste
that brings happiness to you; It Is the
food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don t dl-
Rest and chow. Nature cannot give you
enlth, for you do not. furnish the am
munition. ...

Von Dorn has a contract with the Balti
more firm to deliver a consignment of
grain. When It became apparent he oould
not fill the contract, owing to the Jump In
the grain market, he wired the Baltimore
firm asking, how much' It would take to
cancel the contract. The message was not
delivered. The market still continued to
rise and Von Dorn sued for the loss he
sustained by reason of having to deliver the
grain at the higher price. Judge Sutton
held there was no way of proving that the
Baltimore firm would have accepted the
offer In the telegram, and hence, no way
of showing his damages. He took the case
away from the Jury and allowed nominal
damages to cover the cost of sending the
dispatch.
