Entering Business Life,
Many tieonle of the old school still
have the idea that the proper way to
enter into business life is in th old
time wav of becinninc as chore bov
and, if life lasted long enough and the
individual naci sufficient ability, being
admitted finally to an interest in the
business. But this is no loneer nossi-
ble even if it were desirable. Those
who would engage in business must
not only have a cood eeneral educa
tion, but they must also obtain the
special training demanded by the
magnitude of modern commerce. Pro
bably no business school holds such
an advanced position as regards both
the general preparation for business
life and the special training demand
ed, as the well known Peirce School,
Philadelphia. It combines in a most
happy way general instruction with
specific training.
Tours to the South via Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Two very attractive early Autumn
tours are offered by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, leaving New York and
Philadelphia September 29 and Octo
ber 13.
After the experience of the past
few years it is hardly necessary to say
that these outings are planned with
the utmost care. Suffice it to say that
ajl arrangements are so adjusted as to
afford the best possible means of visit
ing each place to the best advantage.
The tours each cover a period of
ten days, and include the battlefield
of Gettysburg, picturesque Blue
Mountain, Luray Caverns, Basic City,
the Natural Bridge, Grottoes of the
Shenandoah, the cities of Richmond
and Washington, and Mt. Vernon.
The round-trip rate, including all
necessary expenses, is $55 from New
York, $53 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other points.
Each tour will be in charge of one
of the company's Tourist Agents. He
will be assisted by an experienced lady
as Chaperon, whose especial charge
will be ladies unaccompanied by male
escort.
Special trains of parlor cars are
provided for the exclusive use of each
party, in which the entire round trip
from New York is made.
For detailed itinerary apply to
Ticket Agents or to Tourist Agent,

Ease, the powder to shake into the
shoes, a most thorough trial, and it
does all if not more than you claim."
