THE VALUE OF SYSTEM.
So much has been said about the
value of system in the business life '
that it seems almost futile to attempt '
anything along this line, and yet
there are young men and women oc-j
cupying positions all over the coun-j
try who have never read a word
about order in work. They simply:
drifted into positions because more
efficient people were not to be had,
'and they stay for the same reason.
If their employers could get more
competent helpers they would gladly
do so, but in these prosperous times
it is out of the question. And for
this very reason the young folks
dodge the advice as to system and
point to the fact that they are "draw
ing their pay" just the same as their
mates who make slaves of them
selves, as if the last word had been
SDoken on the subject. True, they
are drawing their pay and as much of
It often as some other young people
who have system and order in their
lives, but they will not always do so.
The systematic young workers are
bound to rise, while the others will
always remain at the foot of the lad
der. In times of prosperity it would
seem that system was not rated very
high, for even the most incompetent
persons and the least faithful are
gladly taken, but when adversity
comes there is a relentless weeding
out. Even if a young man is satis
fied to do mediocre work in a hap-!
hazard fashion without the chance of
rising in the world, he must remem
ber that the first chance his employer
finds to replace him with an efficient
worker he will do so, and the incom
petent one without a recommenda
tion will be set adrift. And another
thing to be considered is that unless
system is acquired and made a part
of one's life in youth it can never be
added in middle life. The habits are
fixed and, struggle as he may, the
poor worker is powerless to live his
life over.
And, after all is said, the average
position in life, whether it be work
ing for another or working for one's
self, does . not require brilliancy or
great knowledge or shrewdness half
so much as it needs faithfulness, or
der and system. Most of the suc
cessful men and women in the
business world will disclaim great
luck or good management, and put
down as the secret of success just
common systematic work. To daily
and hourly be "on the job" is the
secret of most successful enterprises,
and the young person who wants to
rapidly climb the business ladder can
do nothing better than to order his
life after a fixed plan and then stick
to it. The young man who can lay
his hands instantly on the thing de
sired, the young woman who knows
her work thoroughly and who is
never tempted by novel, fancy work,
or laziness to "soldier" are the ones
who will soon be in positions of
greater usefulness, while the fussy,
careless, unsystematic individuals
will be fuming about bad luck and fa
voritism as the causes of their sta
tionary positions. - v
To go to work at a certain hour,
to have meals regularly, to take up
a definite line of work and have to
finish it well and quickly, to be able
to put aside pleasure for duty and
to be"" a smoothly working cog in the
great machinery of life are things for
which every young person should
strive. It may be that the work is
like the work of a household, con
tinually shifting from one thing to
another, continually being interrupt
ed and broken into, continually set
aside for some more pressing task,
as often happens where work is
pressing in store or office, yet, after
all, this is" the work that needs sys
tem the most. There are men and
women under twenty-five who have
been so carefully schooled, and that
by themselves, that they can pa
tiently go back to interrupted tasks
twenty times in a single hour and
without the slightest feeling of an
noyance take up the regular work.
It is only system that keeps them
sweet and sane in the midst of these
petty anoyances, and by and by they
will o into the larger positions
vrh j interruptions are unknown.
A y busy woman who -accomplishes
more than two or three un
trained women says her success is
due solely to the fact that she rigidly;
held herself to a system in her girl-,
hood days in an office. The place;
was a coveted one, and the simply
had to perfect herself in the art of
keeping her wits about her and hold-,
ing to the system laid down, or very,
soon another would have been occu-j
pying her aesic. J&ne tnougnt it
rather severe then, but now amid the
cares and vexation of a peculiarly
busy life she Is self-poised and able
to bring order out of chaos where
other women would be reduced to
tears of nervous prostration. j
No matter what the future life is(
to be, a thorough training in system
is essential to success. The business
of life may be home-making or farm-j
ing or manufacturing or working in?
an office or anything under the sun,'
but to be successful it must be order-,
ly and intelligent. A home without,
system is a forlorn place to live and ,
a business without system will soon
go to pieces. Order insures calm
and quiet and prosperity for the indi-.
vidual as well as for the home, the
school, the factory, and the farm; so
every young person should know the.
value of system early in life. It can
not be bought and it cannot be given
to any one, but only by hard, patient
effort may it be obtained. However,
the hard, persistent effort is well
worth while, for the price of system
is above rubies. Hilda Richmond in

THE VIRTUE OF A WHITE DRESS.
"Oh, mother, how pretty you look!"
"How sweet!" j
"Where are you going?"
"Guess!" I cried. "I'm going go
ing going to stay right here with
you this afternoon.'
I ended enthusiastically and I smil
ed. My little ruse had succeeded.
Just a simple white dress had created
the atmosphere that I wanted.
The children were cross; I was
tired and irritable; yet I wanted to be
patient and agreeable. I remember
ed, when a teacher, how the school
children had taken a dislike to a cer
tain dress I wore; they fancied I was
always cross in it. I recollected how
pleased they were over a new gown
and especially over anything white.
They begged me always to wear
white. Now I was resolved to test
again the power of the white dress
and see if it might not react upon my
tired nerves.
It was a dull, rainy day, but I had
a warm fire. I selected a white waist,
not too thin, and, alas! a little out of
style. Then I found my old pique
skirt, a bit mussed, but clean. I
wore a dainty blue ribbon at my neck
and a bow to match in my hair. A
string of blue beads completed my
costume. Last of all, a lace-trimmed
handerchief with a dash of cologne.
The third-reader class used to admire
"teacher's handkerchief, so nice an'
smelly!"
Now I -was ready for the afternoon,
and felt quite equal to entertaining
three restless children just recover
ing from the measles. At the chorus
of "ohs" and "ahs" and the gentle
pats on my hair, the loving touches
of the string of beads, I felt more
than repaid. I was actualy rested
and in good humor with myself again,
while the children were eager to fol
low every suggestion that I made.
Oh, the magic of a white gown!

HINTS ON DRY-CLEANING.
To the woman of moderate means
who must make her own and her chil
dren's garments do for more than one
season, the question of cleaning is a
serious proposition. Cleaners bills
are expensive cleaners will not touch
a woman's suit for less than two dol
lars and a half, and skirts and waists
are proportionately dear; and, unfor
tunately, in our climate one cannot
always wear wash materials.
There is, however, no reason why
any woman should be at all limited
about attempting to clean her suits
or the garments of the members of
the family, for cleaning, after all, is
a very simple matter, and takes, as
one cleaner said, "only common
sense and patience."
Light cloth coats, skirts or suits
may be beautifully cleaned with a
preparation made of equal parts of
oatmeal and whiting. Rub this thor
oughly Into the garment with a piece
of clean white flannel, covering every
part of it. Shake well and press on
the wrong side. Of course it goes
without saying that if the first time
does not render perfect cleanliness, a
second scrubbing should be given.
An actress who has a beautiful
wardrobe of rich Oriental garments
learned the secret of cleaning them
from a great French cleaner whose
services she sought when in Paris.
He used nothing but corn flour, or
rather cornstarch, for cleaning deli
cate articles such as hers. He cov
ers a garment with the flour and,
rolling it up, lays it aside for several
days. He then takes it out and care
fully shakes and brushes it, going
again through the process until the
garment is perfectly fresh.
Kid articles, such as slippers, belts,
bags and purses, may be cleaned by
Tubbing with French chalk; and, by
INCREASE OF HEART DISEASE.
Dr. Gullfoy, chief statistician of
the New York Health Department,
says the death-rate from heart dis
ease is alarmingly on the increase.
This he attributes largely to over
eating, lack of exercise and the con
stant use of automobiles. The in
crease within the last forty years, he
says, is at least 150 per cent. When
considered by different age periods
the Increase is even greater. While
between the ages of thirty-five and
forty-four years the Increase is only
61 per cent, between the age3 of
fifty-five and sixty-four years it is
240 per cent. In general, older men
in New York, Dr. Gullfoy contends,
do not care about walking.
"There is no doubt that in the
last eight or ten years the automo
bile has been one of the chief factors
in the increase of the disease," said
Dr. Guilfoy. "A ten-mile ride before
a meal will often cause a person to
eat to excess afterward, and, follow
ing such a feast, no exercise will be
taken. In the coarse of time this
leads to heart disease or other mala
dies. The further we get away from
the way nature intended us to live
the more danger there will be from
a malady like heart disease.
"The legs and arms were made
to use. There is practically no walk
ing done by a great body of citizens
in New York, and many never exer.
cise in other ways."
Dr. Guilfoy is reported to have
said that in view of the present way
of living in a city like New York it
is no wonder that the increase had
been so marked among men not yet
in the prime of life, while among
older men there was an even great
er increase. Exchange.
