LITTLE THINGS AND 8IQ.
Differentiate Between the Eaaential
and the Ncn Essent al.
" * s
Little things are often of great Im-
port mice, hut when the are so they
are not little. The pinion of a witch
wheal, for example, lu one sense is
little, in another sense it is not so at
all; for when It is not perfectly ad*
just "i 1, the watch is worthier i for time-
keeiing. It is not size that makes a
thing little or Krcaf, but its relation tu
the end for which a number of things
aro combined If a thing L essential
it iti Important. Itecausc so many ot
the people who are alwavs preaching
ihe importance of little things fall H
discriminate between the little and tho
non-essential, they often make a
wretched mess of the management of
their own and other people's alTairn.
Theoretically, If every factor that con-
tributes to a result Is perfect, the re-
sult will be perfect; but practically,
for want of time, strength and opjior-
tunity, the efficient man is compelled
to neglect some things for ihe sake of
others; and, lu order to do this and
yet secure the main end, he has to
discriminate between the essential antl
the non e --entlal. The one who la
thoroughly imbued with the fsii.se doc-
trine of the importance of little things,
spends lus strength without, discrim-
ination, and usually succeeds In mlss
ing the main chance The Watchman.
INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.
One of the most curious contests
ever before the public was conducted
by many thousand persons under the
Offer of the Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd.,
of Untile Creek, Mich., for prizes of
:il boxes of gold nnd ;:<)0 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the letters Y-I-O (1 rape-Nuts.
The contest was started in Febru-
ary, 1006, and it was arranged to have
the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 190S.
When the public announcement ap-
peared many persons began to form
the words from these letters, some-
times the whole family being occupied
evenings, a combination of amuse-
ment and education.
After a while the lists began to
come in to the Postum OiJUyj and bo-
fore long the volume grew until It re-
quired wagons to carry the mail.
Many of the contestants were thought-
less enough to send their lists with
insufficient postage and for a period
it cost the Company from twenty-five
to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day
to pay t ho unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to examine these lists
and coiyit the correct, words. Web-
ster's Dictionary was the standard
and each list was very carefully cor-
rected except those whiili fell below
8000 for it, soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Soma
of Hie lists required the work of a
young lady for a solid week ou each
Individual list. The work was done
very carefully and accurately but the
Company had no idea, at the time the
offer was made, that the people would
respond so generally and they were
compelled to till every available space
in the offices with these young lady
examiners, and notwithstanding they
worked steadily, it was impossible
to complete the examination until
Sept 21*. over six months after the
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in-
quiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. It has been thought
best to make this report in practically
all of the newspapers in the United
States and many of the magazines in
order to make clear to the people tho
conditions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, bail to be eliminated "Pegger"
would count Pegger.-," would not.
Some lists contained over 50,1)00
words, the great majority of which
were cut out. The largest lists were
checked over two and in some cases
three times to insure accuracy.
The $100 00 gold prize w as won by
L. IV Reese, ]227-ir>th St., Denver,
Colo, with 1*941 correct words. The
highest 110.00 gold prize went to S.
K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 cor-
rect words.
A complete I'st of the 3"1 winners
with their home addresses will b«
sent to any contestant enquiring on a
postal card
Be sure and give name and add res*
clearly
This contest has cost the Co many
thousand dollars, ami probably has
not been a profitable advertisement,
nevertheless perhaps sonic who had
never before tried Crape Nuts food
have been Interested in the contest,
and from trial of the food have been
shown its wonderful rebuilding pow-
ers.
It teaches In a practicable manner
that scientifically gathered food ele-
ments can lie selected from the field
grains, which nature will use for re-
biiildtng the nerve centres and hraiti
in a win that is unmistakable ti>
