HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY “I know I ought to take tr/e:xlment; I have been running down for the last year or two I am all fagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn- ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the e work I used w0 do some years ago. If I were as strong as T was, I could earn good money I know I ought to treat with a good specialist, but I cannot afford to pay for the treatment.” You are paying for it NOW, friend, and dearly; yet you do get it Let me tell you why. Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest yuu are drawing. A good manager never spends more athan his interest. " Should he begin to draw capital his Interest would, decrease. And what are you doing? You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you.can- not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw- ing on your apital-—which your health—by allowing jt to run down, d the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.

PORTER SON CHANDLER PRAISES LOGAL ENTERPRISE Chamber of Commerce Hears Strong Business Talks The members of the chamber off commerce met at the Y. M. C. A. last evening were addressed by Alton . Minor, president of the state cham- ber of commerce, and by George B, Chandler, compensation commission- President E. W. Pelton presided at the meeting and L. A. secretary. and er, Sprague was State President Speaks. Mr. Minor at the opening of his ad- dress, called attention to a chamber of commerce banner which was hung at the end of the hall and which bore the inscription “For the Common Good.” ‘“Those words, for the com- mon good, signify the first essential and fundamental principle of cham- ber of commerce work,” said Mr. Mi- nor. He compared the work of a municipal government and that of a amber of commerce, and said that the work of the city government is, | to a certain extent, restricted, while | there is no limit to the functioas of the chamber of commerce. He said the statc convention of cham- of commerce, recently held at London, the great problem was hall We Meet the Cri “The problem of reconstruction,” said Mr. Minor, “is of greater and vital interest than that of winning the wa The chamber of commerce recognized that fact and planned to face the problem,” he add- The problem confronting that body is.

One man has sug gested that if working eight half of the hours and the other half ten hours, all the men might be put on a five hour schedule with an! eight hour pay. *It men of that | kind, with no conception of economic | principles, that form a problem that has to be faced by the whole world,” Mr. Minor said. Takes Up Trolley System. Mr. Minor then referred to a ques- tion which concerns practically ever) body in the community, that of the trolley systems. ‘“‘Our trolley lines,” | he said, “are in a deplorable cond tion, and none of them, with the pos sible exception of the one in New ! Britain, are making enough money to | warrant the continuation of the up- keep.” The problem confronting the community Is the reorganization of | the systems, anl Mr. Minor believes | that the chamber of commerce should ! handle the matter, hecause the pub- | lic and the companies realize that that body is working for the common goad, and can obtain results which | could not be secured by either the public or the trolley companies work- ing alone. President Pelton Compensation Commissioner Georze B. Chandler, who chose for his sub- ject “The Program of Chamber of Commerce Work Made Necessary by Existing Condition men were a then introduced Chandler Favors State He told the members that the ques- tion which confronts the community is the organization of a bigger and broadc chamber of commerce which will command the confidence of the general assembly and the people, which will work for the common good and produce results impossible to any one faction working alone. According | to Mr, Chandler, the solution of the | problem lies in the organization of a state chamber of commerce. e told | of the facilities which Connecticut has | for the organization of such a body. “T want to make it clear that Con- necticut is happily situated for the o ganization and maintenance of a state chamber of commerce. New York formed such a body, but had to over- come many difficulties in so doing. The city of New York could not bring the up-state cities to agree on many questions, hecause of the diversified interests involved. The result was the formation of a body which made it possible, as one ofli~al said, ‘to be- come a little bett iainted.” Pen: lvania also had its barriers to mount in the wation of* a chamber. The cities on the seaboard could not azree with the plans of the cities near Pittsburgh, west of the Allegheny mountains.
