We have Just cast votes in this country decide
what the whole nation shall do how it shall plan leg
sate and manage to increase it's comforts, prosperity
and happiness.
Candidates and voters had been thinking earnestly
OR THEY OUGHT to have thought earnestly about
the possibility of making the nation, the states the
cities, the villages and the farms more efficient.
The nation whole is simply made up of individ-
uas like the in this picture And what the ma
ton a whole does is merely the total of what
the individuals do.
Now that the election has passed and the shouting
has died away and the voting is over and the success
full candidate known you still have in front of you the
everlasting problem, WHAT SHALL I Do WITH
MYSELF
It is good thing sometimes TO what others have
done to realize what be accomplished with the hui
man body the instrument with which each of us comes in
contact with the material world.
Mr. Cofman has interesting thought in the picture
here presented showing what various individuals nave
done to achieve and fortune with various parts
Of their physical personality.
Beginning at the bottom we find the feet-the humble
servants of the body that carry back and forth and
hold up our weight and bear the heavy burden
The feet in the human body very much like the
hard working class the social always carrying
the load always in the mud when there any mud hav
ING the hard work and little of the fun.
Yet even the feet intellgently educated, can make
conditions cheerful The artist quotes Mordkin the
Russian dancer, who could earn 800 week, $500
day. for five days skilfu dancing.
If Taglion the great Italian woman, could come back
II show to the world the almost lost and forgotten art
of classic dancing she could probably get three times as
much as this Russian Mordkin.
So here you see that the feet, properly edu
Gated can earn more than the vast majority of highly
educated heads.
Then the artist shows you the legs, with the wonderful
Joints the knees and the marvellous set of muscles
front and back giving to two legs in man the power of
four legs in the running animal
Many an ancient Greek with his legs achieved fame
that the philosophers would have envied.
At the Olympic Games the winner who could run fast
est with the aid Of his legs escorted back to his
native town and special hole made in the wall of the
city to let him enter in triumph
We attach less Importance to legs now and the artist
can only think of famous runner Shrubb who has made
100000 in
The other purely physical money earning details of
the body interesting. The baseball pitcher with his
right arm can earn $4,000 year.
prize fighter like Fitzsmmons the Australian with
extraordinarily powerful left forearm win half
million and the admiration of all that is animal in the
public
Gotch has earned half million dollars wrestling The
uower in his shoulders and backbone has brought him
that sum.
Then you have the hands that have earned million
dollars for Paderews, the pianist and you have the
mouth and throat the nasal cavity the marveously adj
usted vocal cords that have earned fortunes for Caruso
