It is easier to start there than it is to take a running jump and land ' half way un, and it is easier to keep your balance.’’ t : Louis P. Swift, multi - millionaire president of Swift & Co., of Chicago, and one of the greatest" busine - men in America, gives this advice. Both he | and his son, Louis V, Swift, Jr., started at the very bottom, and the name of the company and its world-wide repu-' J tatioo attest the wisdom of their ■'‘course. Mr. Swift adds: “The man who starts at the l>n om 2 gets in on the ground floor, lie is 2 building the foundation of his future * life and if he builds the proper soil of - a foundation he will see lo it that the luprrstrurture is up to specification . , “Another thing is this; Get in d^bt. Everyone, •particularly young men, should be in debt. Not in debt for clothe- or dj-inks or such thing./, but for some investment of tangible value that is worth ..saving for. Few persons will save anything unless they have the incentive for saving. The best-incen tive is debt—to be paying for some thing of value.. Getting married may be an incentive, but that is hardly fair to the other person, who must assume half the risk. Paying for- a house, for a bond, for: anything- ofi worth,, is an incentive.” Louis F. Swift was born at Saga more, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 3 8.G1- From his earliest year's Fir cu tire interest wrapped up in the packing business founded by his father, Gustav its Swift. He started in the business ns. a bov. selected and purchased cattle, and worked his way through the various departments until, in 1003, he sue c< dod to the presidency. At that time, Swift & Company was doing a business of approximately >100,000,000 a year, Under Louis SwiTt’s direction it grew until at the present time its business exceeds >1.000.000,000 a year and employs more than 60,000 people.

To ‘ gether through the long hours she sobbed in the arms of the handsome Juan, showering him with ki=se.-, clutching at him madly as the dawn grew near. Then they inarched him off, and Nelly lay on the ground, cry ing, for a few minutes. Then, her dark eyes (lashing, she headed for the placC of execution. The firing squad stood with uplifted rides as Nellie dashed into the inelo. ure. She sprang toward Juan, threw both arms around him, and dared the .'oldicfs to fire. After a struggle, she was torn away. Then she heard the shots. After that, Nelly became the sweet heart of many, She was adored by a successful rum-runner. She wa., in volved with the leader of a counter feiting ring, who was sent to the peni tentiary after he attempted to shower her with valuables bought with money of his own manufacture. Love ceased to thrill the beautiful sires, of the cabaret?. She accepted it, but did not return it. Finally Nelly grew bored, jaded. Champagne no longer thrilled the con vent-educated young woman. She turned to narcotics. Drugs gave her the thrills for which she had prayed, but took from her most of the beauty which uteri wor shiped, The flashing beauty of her eyes drifted away with the smoke of the opium pipe. Her face took on an un healthy pallor. Men who had not dared to do so aspired to her company. Among these was Pablo Salcedo, a bartender who had fled to Mexico after escaping from the Arizona State Penitentiary. At first he made small progress, but a?

Almost always, this takes place where there is a lack of muscular tone or a natural weakness. (Pig. I.) Such places, for example, are the navel and the -groin. A pre vious operation, especially where com plications have occurred, is often re sponsible for. a certain amount of loss in strength of the muscles which were cut through. Particularly is this true iii people who are stout, the muscles being flabby and without norma) tone. The protruding loop of bowel pushes the skin and underlying layer of fat with it (Fig. 2). The bulging which results may be very small, perhaps no larger than an almond, or it may reach enormous sizes, even larger than a grapefruit. As a rule the hernia can be reduced, that is, pushed back into the abdomen. This can be accom plished more easily when the person is lying down. Somotimes the opening in the muscular layer is so small that the hernia can be reduced only with great difficulty, or perhaps not at all. Coughing, sneezing and the lifting up pi hea\y ohiefcts all lend to increase the size of the rupture 1 lie Sketch a) llir left is of a Section of (lie Abdominal Wall .Showing the N acinus latyx-rs; («) Bowel, (b) Fat, (e) Muscle; (d) Fat (e) Skill; (*) Weak Spot in a Muscle. The Sketch at Right Show* a Typical Rupture. The wearing; of a truss for a pro longed period may aid in restoring tin natural tone of the muscles and curing the rupture However, the quickest add most certain cure is found in a l ucccsc'f'd operation. The hernia is re duced. the opening in the miijcle- of the abdomen located, and then the muscles sewn together in such a man ner, usually overlapping, that the opening responsible for the rupture is completely oblitei’ated, It is uncom mon for a rupture to recur following such an operation. If, by chance, it should, it would most likely happen within a year. A serious complication of a rupture is; strangu lation. This means that the loop of bowel which has forced its way through the layer of muscles in the abdomen has become so tightly pinched at the opening through which it has passed, that the blood supply of the intestine is shut off. Fortunately, this is extremely painful, calling it to the attention of the individual. The pro trusion must be"immediately reduced, either very gently by the fingers., or, as is usually the case, by surgical means. Should the strangulated hernia go untreated, gangrene of the bowel would set in due to the lack of a suf ficient blood supply and the result would be rapidly fatal. One of the consequences, of advanc ing age is a gradual loss in tone of all the muscles in the body. For this rea son, a person who continues to he ac tive in physical work in the lalcr years of life can develop a hernia mere ea ,-ily than a younger per.-nn doing the same type of work.
