He says: "Remember, son, that this world is older than you are by several years; that for thou- sands of years it has been so full of smarter and better young men than vourself that their feet stuck out of the dormer windows; that when they died the old globe went whirling on, and not one man in 1,000,000 went to the funeral. Don't be too sorry for your father because he knows so much less than you do. Remember the reply of Dr... Wayland to the student of Prown University, who said it was an easy enough thing to make pro verbs such as Solomon wrote. 'Make a few,' tersely replied the old man. "The world has greater need of young men, but no greater need than the young men have for it. Your clothes fit better than your father's fit him; they cost more money and they are more stylish; your moustache is neater; the cut of your hair is better, "But, young man, the old gentleman gets the biggest salary, and his hon- estly scrambling signature on the busi ness end of a check will drain more money out of a bank in five minutes than you could get out with a ream of paper and copper plate signature in six months." Catarrh Is Certainly Curable. In fact it is one of the mpst curable diseases if fragrant healing Catarrho zone is used. No matter how long you have suffered with catarrh you can be perfectly cured by inbaling the antisepti: vapor of Catarrhozone, which strikes at the foundation of the trouble and establishes such a healthy condition in the system that catarrhal germs simply can't exist. "I suffered irom catarrh of the noése and throat for years," writes 8S. H, Downie, of Plattsville. "My nostrils were always stufied up and I had a most di: agreeable hacking cough. Catarrho zone cured me completely." Catarrho zone never fails. Two months' treat ment, $1; trial size, 25c. Relieving Her Mind.
