CHEAPBRAIN=FOOD
"Whispers" Told to Thrill
the thoughtful.
Those Tired of Light Fiction May
Here Find Solid Suggestions of
Lifelong Value.

Sometimes the intelligent brain wearies
of the iairy realm of poesy and fiction, as
the healthy appetite of ''cakes and kick
shaws." 1t turns to subs tials-solid
sources Of thought that will be fruitful
and multiply in future action.
But in these workaday times the aver
age man and woman of intelligence have
little leisure or inclination to tackle Kant
or even Spencer. They are interested In
social problems, but are scared away by
the scientific GOODNESS and dry philosophy
of such writer's. Their study requires long
grounding and the use of expensive IL
braries or sets of volumes.
When, therefore, rare chance occurs to
acquire choice brain food In cheap and
attractive form the wideawake thinkers of
the day will grasp at it quickly.
Such an opportunity is presented by
