FIGHTS FOR FAME AND FOR
FORTUNE
"The world is on wheels, and a1 -
ways will be," says Henry Ford, and
it is safe to say that wherever a car
will run you may find a Ford. We
call them Tin Liz.ies—and other
inames—joke about the monkey run-
ning behind to pick up the nuts, and
generally slander them to our heart's
content. But the fact remains that
the Ford car is a good car. It may
be cheap; it isn't nasty."
Ford, in many ways, is a simple
man, a great advocate of getting back
to the land. "Speak to the earth and
it will teach thee," is one of his fav-
orite sayings. He owes his love of
the land to his early days, for he is
a -farmer's son and was born on a
little farm in Dearborn, Michigan, in
July, 1863.
Directly he was •old enough he was
helping his f.ther and mother about
the farm, chopping wood, carrying
water, tefidine the h'rscs and doing
the dozen and one jobs necessary on
a farmstead.
He went to school when he could,
anf if he did not go it was because
there was work for him to do in the
fields. He knew what it was to use,
his muscles.

worked in an engineer's shop. Bttt,
the usual div's work was not long
enough for him. At night he would
go to a watchmaker and sit repairing
watches and clocks until he knew
more about a clock than most clock -
makers.
For eight years he gathered in me-
chanical knowledge by night and by
day. Then it seemed that all This
learning was to be wasted. His fath-
er offered him fifty acres of land if
he would return home and work it,
so Ford returned. But he did not
forget his workshop. He took that
along with him.
His land wes densely wooded, and
in a little while he had a portable en-
gine working .a circular saw and he
was cutting down trees and sawing

That. is the. secret of the cheapness 1
of the Ford ear. No time is wasted.
The output of the works is 4,000 cars
a day. or 1,000,000 a year. It is
stupendous.

His interest, however, ,were not
wholly taken up with timber. His
parents marked the way he used to
stray in the direction of the Bryant's
farm nearby.
That was the beginning of Ford's
romance. Clara Bryant was an at -
,tractive girl, 'whom ,he had known for
a long time, and it was but a few
months before the wedding bells were
ringing and Ford was happily mar-
ried.
Then he set his sawmills working

own hands. It was but ten yards
square, and he moved in with this
bride and lived a busy, happy life
for a couple of years.

The next year the output increased
so much that the firm made not only
$10,000,000 it had shared out, but an-
other $25,000,000 extra profit as well.
Ford has solved the secret of success.
It is co-operation. The Ford workers

as the company.
There are 50,000 workers in the De-
troit factory, and men of 100 nation-
albties, speaking a hundred different
languages and dialects work happily
,shoulder to shoulder.
Ford has solved the difficulty of
these various languages by giving
them all a common tongue. He has a
big school in the works with many
skilled teachers engaged all the time
in 'teaething foreign workers tihe Eng-
lish language. Instead of the Ford
works being a Tower of Babel, it is 1

WHAT DOES YOUR
MIRROR REVEAL?
THE111.1RON EXPOSITOR
Does it tell you that Your Blood
is Thin and Watery. }j
When a growing girl .becomes pale,
complains of exhaustion, dizzy spells,
headache and stomach trouble, she
should know that these things are
evidences of anaemia or bloodieseeess.
A glance in the mirror will tell the
story. There 'is immediate need for a
tonic, a system builder that will com-
pletely restore the missing qualities
to the blood that every part of the
body will share in the benefit.
A good example of the result of '
wise treatment in cases of this kind
is given by Mrs. George R. Smith, of
Queenspost, N.S., who says: "I can-
not praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too
highly for what they have done for
my three daughters. My eldest dau-
ghter, Edna, at the age of 14, became
run down, and I got her three boxes
of the 1pitl•s, and by the time she had
taken them she was in good health,
and is now a healthy married woman.
My second daughter, Martha, at the
age of 16, was awfully run down and
pale. In fact she 'had always been a
delicate child, but gradually became '
worse. At last she could not go up-
stairs witlhout having to sit down and '
.rest, and could not even do any kind;
of light work without being greatly '
. fatigued. Finally I cave her Dr. Wil-
, llama' (Pink Pills, and after- taking
! them we found they did her more good
than all the other medicitre sl- a :had
taken, and 'she is now in good 1.ealt'h.
Then my youngest daughter, Greta,
I now 15, became so run down that she
had to stop' going to school. But
after taking eight -boxes of the pills
she is now a big, healthy girl. ,I feel
that after what Dr. Williams' Pink 1
, Pills have done in my home there can
be no doubt of their value, and I hope
someone else will benefit from our 1
experience."

dealer in medicine or by mail (postpaid !
