Thirty years ago there were about 9,000,000 boys between 5 and IS years of age in tho United States. This year John W. Leonard Issued the 1911 edition of "Who's Who," In which were published the names of about 15,000 of these people who had prospered sufficiently to be regarded by the compiler of the book as success ful men. The men and women whose biographies are given in "Who's Who" did not all come from one class of society. Some of them were born in marble palaces, and some were found by their first friends wrapped in swaddlng clothes. Some of them bad ancestors who came over the ocean on the May flower, and others had parents who came over in the steerage. A few had learned fathers and mothers, and a great many more didn't. Most of them were raised in good, religious families, and a few never knew who their parents were. MOST of them prospered because they were engaged in noble pursuits; SOME of them became prosperous in wrongdoing. Some worked their fingers to the bone and got IndigeBtlon; others played golf on Saturday afternoons and took life easy. There seemed to be no fixed rule as to the conditions upon which success could be achieved. Hut there was such a rule, is now and ever shall bo. It is that no man can achieve prosperity unless he wants to. He must have a PURPOSE. The KIM) of prosperity one achieves depends entirely upon tho purpose he has. If he has high and noble aims. Iiis prosperity will bo of the kind that will make him loved by his neighbors. If he works only for money, and is willing to cheat, lie and steal for it. his prosperity will lie only of money. But if he has a purpose strong within him, be it good of bad, prosperity is almost certain. Prosperity, of course no' real success. REAL SUCCESS comes only when tlie purpose is HIGH. Of course the percentage of the boys ami girls of li."> years ago who have prospered In life is far linger than "Who's Who" or any other directory of .meat men would seem to indicate, for the majority of the world's greatest men end women are never heard of outside of their own villages and counties; but the fact remains that no one of them ever became either useful or prosperous Without tho aid of a strong, determined purpose. Tin- man without a purpose is the man without the VITAL SPARK the BREATH Ol 1.1 FE. WILLIAM G.

The Pure Food and Drugs Vet. which has done so much for the peo ple of America in providing a supply of pure food and drugs, was adopted by Congress after many years of In vestigation and deliberation, and in spite of the opposition from Import* an' interests. It has protected the dealer as well as the consumer against fraud and imposition as practiced for years by expert adulterators and sub stltutors. One of the splendid features of the act prohibited misbrnndlng that is. holding out to the public thai a pro duct was thus and so, when It really was not. The misbrnndlng feature of ! tbo act was not as clear as it might have been and, under a provision of the act. the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultural Department was em powered to make rules and regulations for carrying the administrative fea tures of the act Into effect. . j At first mlsbrandlng applied only to claims which appeared upon the label or container of an article of food or I medicine but later on, under a ruling I of the bureau, the mlsbrandlng pro j vision was given a wider application and was held to apply to all state ments made with reference to the in gredients, standard of strength and purity, nutritive or curative values of a product. The enforcement of the law for some time was carried on under this wider interpretation of the misbrnndlng feature of the act. About a year ago. In what is known as the Johnson Cancer Cure Case, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the mlsbrandlng provision of the act had been extended by the Bureau of Chemistry in nn unwar ranted manner and that, in the opinion of this august tribunal, an article was 1 not misbrnnded except misrepresen tations were made upon the label or container under which or in which the article was sold. As the public gen erally had regarded the act in its broad aspects and power for good, it did not make much difference with them whether a misrepresentation was on the label, in a newspaper advertise meat, or in a circular letter, because the result was tlie bltUlC, viz . that the purchaser was deceived. President Taft took this practical view of the matter in a special mes sage to Congress, in which he recom mended that the Pure Food and Drugs Act lie amended so as to overcome the delect made manifest h% the Supremo Court decision in the Johnson Cancer Cure Case. President Tuft held that misrepresentation, no matter when or how made, should he prohibited under the terms of this act. At the following annual meeting of the National Association of Retail Druggists, an organization compris ing about thirty thousand retail drug gists throughout the country, a reso lution was adopted supporting the recommendation of President Taft to Congress and the Legislative Commit tee of this great organization of re tall druggists, which the Chicago Tri bune has termed "the greatest organ ization of retail merchants in the world,"' was Instructed to aid In every possible manner the passage of such an amendment bill as would make the President's recommendation effective. It is now probable that before the present Congrss adjourns and surely at the next Congress at latest, all mis representations of food and drug pro ducts, on the label or elsewhere, will be prohibited by the Food and Dings Act and violators of the law severely dealt with. The organized retail druggists of the country have done much to conserve the public health and curb evils that would grow out of their business if not held in check with an iron hand. Through the Inlluence of the Na tional Association and its state branch es. nntl-COCnlne laws have been pass ed in about thirty states, and this or ganization is endeavoring to secure the adoption of laws that will prevent the i (Idling of dangerous decoctions cont, >lng poison, habit-form'ng drugs and oxlcating liquors by irrespon sible , inerants and the sale of drugs and medicines by unqualified dealers. We back up those recommendations by quality remedies. Laurens, S. C. ft ROLLIN G STON IL CAMERA-NO MOSS WliY BE A- T miAN T? ^ ??imiwmi\\im ? ? 11? ? :i iimm Buy A Home With Rent Money!
