IN PROSPECT.

TINE useful air
= We breathe is free. =
A priceless boon
To you and me.
Let's breathe a lot.
Pull deep and fast:
We cannot tell
How long twill last.
Though now it stretches
Far and wide,
1t may ere long
Be trustified.
And we may be
Compelled to pay
For what we use
From day to day.
A snap like that
Can't last, l fear.
The end. indeed.
May soon be near.
We may receive.
l grieve to say,
A bill for what
We stow away.
The trust has missed
It's finest bet,
But 1t will put
A meter vet
On what we breathe
And come down hard
And make us buy 1t
By the yard.

Intelle ctual and moral
strength are both the ~anse and
the effect Of industrial and social
advancement. Industrial and
economic prosperity are depend
ent in a great measure on the
physical we'll being of the inem-
bers of Society. We all know
| that when an individual is sick
that his usefulness to society
either is intcrfered with or is en-
tirely destroyed, depending upon
the measure of inability. When
"a majority of individuals that
make up society are sick, indus
trial progress and social advance
ment are handicapped in direct
ratio to the severity of the
trouble. The vital relationship
between the physical well being
Of men and their moral and So
