Never Mind How Strong You Are —
What d'ye Know?
That's the point—"What d'ye KNOW?"
To-day it's a battle of wits—and brains win
Muscle and brawn don't count so much as they used to.
In the fight for good jobs and big salaries it's brains
—not brawn—that win. "What d'ye KNOW?" is the
one great question that draws the line between defeat
and victory—between "wages" and "salary"—between
you and the Boss.

line of work that you can make good'' as a foreman,
superintendent, or manager? If not, why don't you mark
and mail the attached coupon and permit the Interna
tional Correspondence Schools to show you how you
CAN "make good" on a big job?
For 23 years the I. C B. have been showing men how to
do better work and earn bigger salaries. Every month over 400
students write of promotions or salary increases through I C
8. tratnlnjg. What the I. C. S. are doing for these men they can
do for you.
No matter where you live, how old you are, what hours
you work, or how limited your education—if vou can read and
write and are ambitious to learn the I. C. S. can train you in
your own home, during your spare time, for a more important
and better-paying position.
Mark and mail the attached coupon—it won't obligate
you in the least—and the I. C. S. will show you how you can

time of remorse if you don't.

Edison Planning an
i Electric That Can
Be Driven by Child
Thomas A. Edison, speaking on gen
eral business conditions tj a represen
tative of the Wall Street Journal, said
with reference to his partnership with
Henry Ford for the production of a
low-price family electric carriage:
"Mr. Ford is making plans for the
tools, special machinery, factory build
ings and equipment Tor the production
of this new electric. I have perfected
the motors so that an el<\ftric machine
can be run much more economically
than a gasoline car. The machinery
has been simplified, every nonessential
part eliminated. It will be simplicity
itself, so that it can be run by a child.
The cost of the car will probably be
between SSOO and S7OO. There is so
much special work to be done that no
date can be fixed now as to when the
new electric can be put on the market.
"I believe that ultimately the elec
tric motor will be universally used for
trucking in all large cities, and that
the electric automobile will be the
family carriage of the future. All
trucking must come to eelctricity.
With an electric truck, double the
load and twice the speed can be ob
tained with half the space.
"The success I have achieved in any
line, I attribute to constant work on
one thing until it is perfected. This
does not mean that I keep only one
iron in the Are. Up to the present I
have obtained over 1,200 patents from
the United States Patent Office, and r
very large number in foreign coun
tries. But I haVe worked on the prin
ciple of keeping at it until I produced
the desired result."

Aunt Este's Stories Por Children
I want to toll the dear little children 1 love a beautiful flower
Fairy Story. It Is a story of THK HAKE AND SANE FOURTH OF
JULV and how it came to bo. It is the story of
CORN FLOWER'S WIRELESS
Once upon a time in a beautiful green field lived a great host of
flowers. There were families and families of them. There were
the daisies, those dear little white-gowned children, wearing yellow
caps set so jauntily on each little head; the buttercups, hundreds
and hundreds of them—nodding their yellow curls In the sunlight;
the corn flowers wearing their dainty blue dresses; the wild
grasses, in their many shades of green. Always they lived In a
quiet peaceful way, singing through the sunny days, and sleeping
through the starry nights.
One morning they awakened to find their quiet and peace dis
turbed, for in the field there was much noise and confusion; much
tramping of feet and carrying of baskets, much yelling and hur
rahing; much shouting and jumping.
"What's happened?" asked Daisy.
"It's a picnic," answered buttercup.
"Oh, then we must look pretty," said Daisy. "The little chil
dren will be playing with us."
But although Daisy sat very prim in her beautiful white dress;
although Buttercup tossed her yellow curls saucily through all the
day, never a child came near to pick them or even throw a glanco
their way.
My how badly they felt when they found out they were not
wanted! And worst of all they were tramped under foot, and their
peaceful field home was turned into a regular battlefield! For It
smelled of smoke, and was full of horrid noises, and toward even
ing hurt and crying children here carried away and taken home.
"This surely is a queer holiday and a queer picnic." said Corn
flower. "Will you tell me who all these foreign looking little red
creatures are. whom these fdlks have thrown among us. These
queer little chinamen with their long pigtails. These noisy crea
tures?"
But although she asked all the day, never an answer did she
receive—and the only words that seemed to reach her ears were
"Firecrackers" and "Fourth of July."
At last night came and with It quiet for the little dwellers of
the field—the noißy people with their baskets went home. But as
they were ready for their night's, rest—Red noticed that
the queer little foreigners were left, scattered all over their field
home. All of them were quiet and still, and when she stopped to
look closer she found they were dead. All but one little fellow
who seemed to be drawing his last breath, while was nothing more
nor less than a thin line of smoke which came from his nig tail
Just as breath tomes from a little one's mouth.

"Can you tell me, little redman, who all you funny creatures
are, before you are dead like your companions? asked Red Clover.
And a poor tired, worn-out voice answered:
"We are the Firecracker family. My first name is Noisy, Your
American people celebrate their Fourth of July with us. and kill
us off by the millions, and worst of all they seem to be killing their
little children as well—or at least hurt them. Why there were
eyes and ears anil hands and legs all hurt, to-day. A queer way
to celebrate, don't you think so?
"It is Indeed," said Buttercup.
"And think what they celebrate," continued the poor dying
Firecracker, as more smoke oozed from his pig-tail—"Liberty.
The day your ever-so-great grandfathers saw the ever-so-great
grandfathers of these American people sign a paper which made
them free. Free to do what they pleased and what they thought
right."
"Well," said Cornflower, with a sigh. "The trouble is they
have gotten the wrong idea of independence. They think freedom
means they shall do things which seem dangerous. But it doesn't,
does it? Freedom means really a desire to make others happy. I
tell you dear flowers—if we try we can teach these eartii folk
that there Is another side to their freedom—the freedom of being
gentle and thoughtful of others. Have you ever thought that we
ourselves can form a beautiful American Flag with our own colors
and spread ourselves so gayly over the field that the earth folk
may notice us, and learn to use our gentle methods of celebrating
Independence. If you will all do your part, I will send them a
wireless for a safe and sane Fourth for next year—a Fourth in
which there will be beauty and peace instead of smoke and dan
ger."
"We will," gladly said the flowers.
"All right," said Corn« ower. "I will give my blue for the
field in the corner of the flag. And you. Clover Blossoms, give
your red for the stripes of red; and you Daisies give your white
dresses for the stripes of white—and your little yellow caps for
the golden stars to cover the> field, then we will wave our beautiful
flower flag of liberty so gayly that the earth folk must see and
understand our wireless, and the breezes carry it to their hearts,
and we shall have a true celebration of liberty.
"I am glad," said the dying Firecracker as the last bit of
smoke oozed from his pig-tail, which had grown very small "I
am glad for peace." And with one last bang he died.
And so as the earth folk got the wireless of Cornflower— with
one last bang like that of the poor little Firecracker, their desire
for a noisy Fourth died and into the land of liberty was ushered
the safe and sane Fourth, with the sti'ipes of red and white and
the starry Held, waving over housetops—and fluttering in the
fluids in the eyes of kind hearted flowe"--
lovingly, ESTE.

Get a good, firm grip on psoriasis by
using S. S. S. the famous blood purifier.
Those extending patches may have de
fied everything else; you may be dis
couraged but let S. S. S. bathe your
blood and you will quickly observe a
wonderful change.
S. S. S. exerts a dominating influence
in the myriad of blood vessels that com
pose the skin.
Its principal action is to assist In that
wonderful process whereby the broken
down cells in the skin and their dead
ened nerve threads are rebuilt by new
material from a purified and quickened
blood stream.
This process goes on every second
throughout the body. From the time
that S. S. s. enters the blood it has trav
ersed the entire system in about three
minutes. Its action is therefore very
rapid, never lets up. If used with the
same co-operative spirit.
S. S. S. has been a marve! to over
come every form of skin trouble and for
a finely illustrated descriptive treatise
on the skin, wrltn to The Swift Specific
