Drink plenty of pure water, preferably hot water, before meals, and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking Anuric.”” This can be obtained at almost any drug store.

This cynical remark was characteristic of the age in which he lived, and ex- pressed the thought which dominated the world for many years after his death. But a change has come over the world which has turned the whole thought of mankind into more wholesome, construc- tive channels. Where formerly he who had the power exploited his fellows, today the dominant idea is service and helpfulness. : In business particularly, is this idea apparent. Today only those business institutions which render to the public a definite, specific service can hope to survive the changed ideals of the world. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is bending every effort to conduct its affairs in such manner as to conform to these modern ideals. It is the ambition of the Company to broaden the scope and intensify the ser- vice it renders the public so as to make every man who buys even a gallon of gasoline feel that he is réceiving the great- est possible value for the money he spends. It is the Company’s steadfast purpose to make every product it manufactures of the highest quality possible, thereby keep- ing its activities in step with the changing world.
