PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
The other day I Avatched an ex-
pert fisherman cast files. ITe
threw from 50 to 75 feet of line,
and planted his fly on the water
very near his objective. On one
cast he pointed to a floating leaf,
and actually hit it. In every
movement of his arm there Avas
precision Avhich followed his rod
and line clear to that fly.
The’ exhibition Avas a mighty
snod illustration of the adage
“‘practice makes perfect.” It had
able that fisherman to attain
required years of practice -to en-
precision in fly casting. It takes
years of practice to become ex-
pert in anything.
And this means patience, pre-
sistency, and determination to
succeed. There have to be love
for the uhcle.rtakinsr, and pride in
aehieAring it. In short, there has
to be real devotion to it, Avhich
frequently means sacrifice of time
and money. But in the end there
is a vast deal of satisfaction, espe-
cially if the undertaking be Avorth
while.
I wish all the readers of Grit
could have Avatched that expert
as I did. There Avas inspiration in
it applied to almost anything in
life. This is Avhy I pass on the
impression made on me. I Avould
have eArery one an expert in his ]
life Avork, Avhatcjver that may be.!
Yet I may not do this sueessful-
ly without again emphasizing the
fact that “practice makes per-
fect.”—Frank B. Craig In Grit.

SLOW DRIVER NUISANCE
We have it on the authority of
the American Automobile Asso-,
ciation that safety in motoring is
a matter of speed. Not less speed
but more. The declaration, based
upon a survey 0ATer a large part
of the country, will be endorsed
by motorists cveryAvhere.
Obseration a n d experience
proAre that ATehicles moving at an
unnecessarily sIoav rate are the
most frequent causes of accidents
in addition to being, as the asso-
ciation says, one of the Avorst
nuisances on the road today The
more croAvded the traffic the great
er the nuisance and danger. It is
common, on the highways to see
a string of ears moving like a fun-
eral procession behind a* complac-
ent driver out for an evening
stroll. The longer the procession
the greater the hazard of attempt
ing to pass the obstruction by cut-
ting - into the traffic moving i
the opposite direction. It is not
strange that many accidents
occur.
It is gratifying to learn that
twenty-three states have Aviped

Use of Cardui Helped
to Relieve Suffering.
“I have taken Cardui
and have found it a very
helpful medicine,” says
Mrs. Minnie Rocher, of
Lynn Haven, Fla. “After
a course of Cardui, I felt
like I had been made over.
“For a while I suffered
with bad pains in my back
and sides. At times, these
would distress me so I
would seem past going.
“We had known of Car-
dui in our family for a
long time, so I thought I
would try taking it. I soon
began to improve. I grew
strong and well, and was
able to resume my house-
hold duties without the
least inconvenience.”
Cardui is a mild, harm-
less extract of valuable
medicinal herbs. Try it.
