OLD AGE AND ARTERIES
French Physician Seeks to Upset a

and tti.it if the arteries could be pre-

Now M. latncereaux has told the
French \cademy of Medicine that
this is not so. lie finds arteriosclero-
sis rather In the young than In the
old. and says that It Is less harmful
tn tb old than m the younger, and
that Hu way to cure It Is to begin

According to M. Lancereaux gouty

Rev. William Carter.
Rev. William Carter of the Madison
Avenue Reformed church discussed at
a dinner In New York his very success-
ful 1-ienten experiment of conducting
services In the l’elasco theater.
"One of my theater auditors," he
said, smiling, "was a Scot from Pee-
bles. This Scot told me that the sight
of a clergyman in a theater reminded
him of an experience ho once had in
liondon.
“In Ixtndon he went to a melodrama
at Prury l*ane. A man in Itont of him
looked familiar. To his amazement he
recognized iu this man his mlutster
at Peebles.
"he leaned forward and laid his
hand on the minister's black coat.

He had a box of tools on his hack, and he
; skej if there was anything about the
place needing repairs.
The fellow put in the day, earned and
received $1, and left the idea for this
editorial.
It developed from his talk that ho had
leen fired several weeks before from a
sewing machine rabinet works. He had
not sought the common channels where
jobs are found at his trade, but placed
his tools on bis back and went from house
to house in the residence district.
As he expressed it: “I’ve made time
and a half since I’ve been out of a job,
ond I don’t think I’ll go back to my old
b when times are good.”
The resources of this fellow had been
awakened.
Mon should do what they fear to do,
and being fired frequently forces them to
it.
This man has sought and gained a new
field for his trade—a more profitable one
than the old, simply because he was
forced to do that which he feared.
Men who work on a salary must expect
to pay the boss a profit.
The reason tide man earned more, even
in a depressed period, was that he did
not have to pay a profit on his job.
The reason he succeeded was that he

Ealesmanship—advertising; for salesman-

personal contact.
It is a bad sign when a salesman or
advertising man stn\s out of a job very
long they are not applying their trade.
When a man starts out selling his
time, or anything else, for that matter,
it is simply a question of knowing that
someone, somewhere, wants that time.
