It is really two waterproofed khaki coats, sewed together at sleeve-ends and edges. That means doublc protection I And wear ?-say, it's a bear I Give chest measure when ordering.

What Success Is

To be successful, we must be happy. And to be happy, we must be healthy. Think health, talk health, exercise intelligently, cultivate the open air, use plenty of cold lv3fs1-inlsrnally and externally-play with the kids and imbibe and inhale their usefulness, refrain from doing, and eating, and drinking those things which any intelligent person knows will reduce your vitality and your efficiency and your effectiveness, and health, happiness and succCss will be yours.

THE BEST THING_

-you can give your enemy, is forgiveness; to your opponent, tolerance; to your friend, your heart; to your child, your good example; to your father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

A Bad Risk

Bogus Wilbanks, who has been' laid up and is now at his home, is now on the mend. For several weeks he was unable to raise a knife to his mouth.-Ochiltree News.

Myself

I have to live with myself, and so, f want to be fit for myself to know.

I'want to be able, as days go bI'

Always to look myself straight in the eye; f don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done.

I don't want to keep on al closet shelf

A lotof secrets about myself, And fool myself, as f come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will know

The kind of a man I really am;

I don't want to dress up myself in sham'

I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect; f don't want to look at myself and know

But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like myself.

That I'm bluster, and bluff, and empty show.

I never can hide myself from me;

I see what others may never see;

I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself, and so,

!\Ihatever happens, I want to be, Self-respecting and consciencefree.

-Edgar A. Guesl

Spoiled It All

Sunny skies and fragrant flowers, Hold no charms that I can see; Songs of birds, and wails of wildcats, Are as one henceforth to me.

What care f for stately forests?

What for shrubs o'er streams down-bent?

Yesterday I met the landlord, And he dunned me for the rent.

-A. M. Conner.

The Trainman Led In Prayer

An old railroad man was converted at a revival meeting, as the story goes, and was asked to lead inprayer. Here is what he said:

"Oh, Lord, now that I have fagged Thee, lift my feet off the rough deck of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamps known as prudence, make all couplings on the train'with th9 strong link of Thy love, and, Ileavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off the sidings, especiafly those with a blind end. Oh, Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore blocked along the line. Show the white light of hope, that I may make the run of Life without stopping; and, Lord, give us the Ten Comrnandments as a schedule, and when mytrain shall have pulled into the great dark station of Death, may Thou say with a smile: "\Afell done, thou good aird faith,ful servant. Come up and sign the pay roll and receive your check for eternal happiness."

A Slight Attack

"Any insanity in your family," asked the.doctor examiner of the lady petitioner for life insurance.

"Well, no, only my husband has hallucinations. He thinks he's head of the house."

(Continued from Page 18) naturally depends upon this prosperity, and we are, therefore, vitally interested in doing all we can to encourage better construction.

There is also a growing public appreciation of the fact that poor construction is not only the most expensive in the long run, but it is a detriment to future progress-and causes a great deal of human misfortune. It is almost a tragedy the way "gold bricks', in the shape of inferior but "jazzed-up" homes are many times passed ofr on people who have saved for a life-time to "own their own." We preach the gospel of "owning your own home," but do we go far enough to endeavor to protect these home buyers?

'We can at least try to see that the building material is suitable for the purpose. We believe that every grade of lumber has its place where it can be used to advantage. However, one of the factors of poor construction is that certain grades, kinds of lumber and lumber substitutes are used where they give very poor service.

It is you, as the building material specialist, that the community must look to for sound building advice; and we should co-operate with you to make this advice as effective as possible.

We want to assist you in seeing that our own product is used where it will help make better construction. Redwood should play and important part in'BETTER HOMES." It is with the idea of helping you to convince the public where Redwood should be used and why it should be used, that we are organizing and recording the best facts, figures, examples and selling arguments for Redwood.

It is to the retail trade generally that we must turn to get most of this information. \Me want your help.

We have put it up to our salesmen to work with you and to make it more interesting, we have made this up in the form of a contest with a few prizes ofrered. This was announced on Page 30 of the August First issue of "California Lumber Merchant," and we are enclosing the working rules we gave our salesmen.

Even a letter given to one of our salesmen stating where you or any of your customers recommend Redwood and why will help.

I-t is !y aclir-rg as a Clearing House for better merchandising ideas, and then helping you put over these ideas, that we hope to improvd the general average of building construction which, of iourse yrill be a benefit to everyone.

Yours for some good results, CALIFORNIA REDWOOD ASSOCIATION.
