Drawn and Brain!

Drawn anu Drain!
The powerful engine, with its wonderful
propelling power, coupled to the long train
full freighted with the richest fabrics of the
intellectual looms of the centuries--what
obstacles can stay the progress of this
mighty force, when once under full steam

The American with Drawn and brain does
not sec the necessity for titles Of nobility,
does not care for elevation by descent, he
can reach out and pluck the stars.
But with Drawn or brain impaired, man
is badly handicapped in the mad race for
success which is the marked characteristic
of the present age.
The physical system is a most intricate
piece of machinery. It ought to be kept
well regulated, so that 1t will work har.
moniously in all its parts, then it is capable
Of an immense amount of work.
1t is said that q watch, if expected to keep
perfect time, must be wound daily. It win
not keep good time unless it "runs regu-
lar" More men break down because they
don't "run regular" than for any other
reason.
It is claimed by physicians that few men
are killed by hard work. It is to the irregu-
larities of modern social life that the high
death rate is due. Men burn their candle
at both ends, then wonder why it burns out
