The mere vibration of the atmos-

be enough to make an unpracticed

1t is stated that stout men under forty

their estimation alone, are very
powerful and so smart that they
are always up to the minute in
some things that happened in 67.
What we need now is the man
who is familiar with the days of
now, instead of the ones that
have passed and gone. The
world itself is getting more and
more intellectual as each day
approaches and we should try to
do the same in order to be up to
the STANDARD, as each and every
man. who claims to be a live wire
instead of a pull back of a town
should be. You have often heard
