More of the Plattsburg Idea
A LL of us at Plattsburg had the time of our life. We wouldn't want it for
- a lifetime, and what's more, we couldn't stand it: but the store of energy,
health, ideals and ideas we carried back with us Is going to help considerably
to make more worth while and vital the parts assigned to us to play in the
great game that goes on forever.
The Plattsburg idea Ib one of the few outstanding institutions conceived in
the last few decades. It alms to build a nation of thinking, lojnl, patriotic,
trong men. And It does. The means arc strenuous. We who have gone
through the mill will tell the world that! Thev "killed" us. but we emerged
reborn, re -energized, revitalized, upbuildcd physically, spiritually, mentally and
tn every other way. Here is some more of the Plattsburg idea :
When you decide to do something, snap Into it. If you decide not to do it.
map out of it. The world moves too fast for the time-killer. It leaves him
behind always.
There's only one place for anything and that is the right place. Put it there.
The main trouble with men the world over Is incrtlu. There aro other things
the matter, but at the bottom of most of them Is mere sluggishness, unwillingness
to step out, mental and spiritual laziness which would rather sit tight and let
things drift. The winner is the mnn who will make the extra effort.
We are not perfect: therefore, we must expect to make mistakes. They
usually don't matter If we will only lenrn from them.
Napoleon used to burn all his bridges behind him There was nowhere for
him to go but ahead. Once, when he wanted to cros the Alps, he sent come
engineers out to examine and report on the roads. They returned nnd reported
that the roads were terrible Impassable nnd impossible. "Very well," remarked
the "Little Emperor," "we must start earlier than usual then."

It is the badge of the boor. Courtesy Is indicative of discipline, politeness, good
breeding and sdf-rcspect. The gentleman Is always courteous. lie may be
"hopping mad," but he Is courteous.
Be serious. Don't try to get a reputation for being smart or funny. In
very outfit there is sure to be somebody who constitutes himself the clown of the
company. He Is really amusing. The only difference between him nnd the vaude

A fool of himself for nothing.
Keep your head up and your eves off the ground. Look straight In front
and rover the man ahead.
The word patriotism means "love for one's country " This definition does
not refer merely to the Fourth of July or to war times. It refers to
erery day in every year, to every hour in every day. The patriotic man
during war is willing to die for the country he loves. During peace his
patriotism prompts him, among other things, to pay his taxes cheerfully for the
eupport of his Government, to studv the national problems, to always vote for
the best man or the best principle, to obey the laws of his country and community.
The lack of respect for authority Is one of our great national defects. To
obey Ib the watchword of a true citizen To obey Implies subordination to supe
riors nnd respect for authority. If jou are to become a disciplined cftlzen, you
must recognize the authority of those over o and promptly obey them
Discipline cannot be acquired in a day or a month. It is a growth. The
main object of drills Is to teach the hahlt of obedience As toon as vou obey
truly, promptly, at times subconsciously, the instructions of your superiors,
aa soon as you can cheerfully give un pleasures and privileges that conflict with
your duty, you will then have become a disciplined citizen.

SEPTEMBER 14,
Adventures With
a Purse
IT IS the rule of many neighborhoods
thnf afetiM. mmv Af )t nut In the
back street, nnd nn nsh day It Is no
uncommon sight to see better residen
tial sections of our city In a most
deplorable condition. Barrels and
boxes are not rcry adequate holders of
the refuse, and frequently ashes are
strewn about the streets In a most un
sightly fashion. Metal ashenns are
undoubtedly the very best kind to have,
but shopping tours have found them to
be rather expensive; nnd, generally
speaking, the men who collect do not
bother to handlo the boxes and cans with
any great amount of care. One of the
Rtorcs is having a sale of galvanized
ashcans, which arc quite large nnd have
n heavy cover to fit over the top of
the can to prevent the breezes or
Knocks from depositing nshes broad
cast. The cans arc priced nt $2.75,
nnd my experience In looking for them
proves this to be quite a reasonable
price.
Almost the middle of September ; that
means a replenishing of the winter
wardrobe, a trip to the cleaners to
-renovate last year's coat, a general
fastening on of snaps and hooks to last
year's clothes that warrant another sea
son's wear. I have seen some silk
pongee blouses which would make very
good business blouses for the girl who
works, or would do very nicely for the
girl In school. About the collar and
down the front of the blouse la a narrow
pleated frill, which serves as a very
neat and dainty "finishing touch,"
The blouses are priced at $3.05.
Nail polish Is always needed when
one la going out, but the girl in an
office cannot always find room in her
bag for a cake or Jar of polish. One
of the better and well-known compa
nhja la putting out a small stick ot
polish, about the size of a lipstick,
which will fit conveniently in a handbag
or slip Into the corner of a desk drawer
without taking up very much room.
The stick of polish is red and, when
rubbed lightly over tie nails and these
are polished on the palms of the hands,
leaves a high and lasting polish. The
stick is thirty-five cents.

Perfecting Natural Gifts
Twenty hours of continuous baking

the nourishing properties of whole
wheat and malted barley flour, from
which Grape-Nuts is made? and has
produced a food in the form of crisp,
golden-brown granules.
You chew Grape-Nuts thoroughly.
The rich, sweet flavor of Grape-Nuts

meant the teeth to be used. Primitive
people, who keep the natural teeth
sound and perfect to old age, are eat

Shall She Keep on Loving Him or

Her Fatlwr Objects to the Poor Boy and Stic Cannot Decide -What

"PLEASE tell me," wrote the girl
A who wns worried over her love
affair, "whether I should wait for n
man who can keen me the way I was
brought up, or still keep In lovo with
this one?''
It seems that she Is rather rich and
the boy Mic loves is quite poor, which
makes her father disapprove of the
match.
He doesn't like the boy's family, he
snys, nnd he will not allow him to come
to the house for fear his daughter will
fall more deeply In love with him.
And ho dcclnrcs that it is for her own
good that he Is putting his foot down
so hnrd.
The girl Is twenty-one years of age,
and permitted, by law, to decide things
for herself, and the boy Is a year older.
On the other hand, fathers very often
know more and better than even girls
of age.
They can read the character In a
boy, see the possible future, by means
of a glance at his family, much moro
clearly than a daughter who la. or
thinks she Is, In love.
They are not blinded by their affec
tion, nnd not prejudiced by youth and
the fascination that, for a girl, sur
rounds the man who loves her.
YET a father Is often blinded, In
another way, by the throne upon
which he has always placed his
daughter.
He may also have an exalted opinion
of the position which she has always
held, the way In which sho has always
boen supported.
Then, too, If he struggled with pov

married life he Is very reluctant to al

through anything like that, no matter

Tha crown of Justice here refarred tn

It Is the possession of certain mental

Nuts all the essentials provided by
nature in these grains are retained
and perfected. The long, slow baking
process which produces Grape-Nuts
turns the grain's starches into natural
sweetness and breaks up the nutritive
solids into forms easily assimilated by
the body.
The exceptional nourishment from
Grape-Nuts is secured with no tax
upon the digestion.
Penalties for Mistakes
When the doctor, as the mechanical
expert of the bodily machine, comes
to give advice In case of trouble, he
finds that harm aa well as good, often
has resulted from food.
"Starchy" foods have been the sub
ject of many warnings. Food which
passes too Blowly through the digest
ive tract causes disturbances to which
much of the slowing down, wearing
out, and failure of the bodily machine
is traced.
A characteristic of Grape-Nuts is
that it digests quickly and completely
without fermentation in the intestines,

There is, therefore, a reason why,
throughout the world, Grape-Nuts
has steadily grown in favor these

well as charm to taste.
You can apply that reason to your
