Paul Super, general secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian Association,
and dealing with the advantages Of
fered men of all ages by the different
departments of the local organization,
has Just been issued and Is being
mailed both to the members in Homo
lulu and to associations throughout
the mainland.
Dividing power into five distinct
classes, namely, body, mind, social,
character and boy power, the writer
takes up and discusses each separate
". He AYERS that the greatest unde-
veIoped resource in Hawaii Is not wa
ter power, electric power or agricul-
tural possibilities, but man-power.
This Is a day OF great discovery,
he says. and that discovery is EN-
Cheney: efficiency In methods, EN-
cheney in man-man-power. It Is
rarer than horse power and much
harder to get. Experts say man to-
day Is only per cent efficient. he
continues. He has not developed his
man.power. The Young Mans Chris
Itian Association Is an organization
of men and boys who want to add
that other rs. per cent. The associa-
| ton Is the organization that can help
them do it; 1t Is q great power plant
/ In which man-poWer Is generated. Mr.

Following manner:

strong body stanus the pressure of

ton leads to long hours Of work or
Iclose application during short perl
DDS. The strain on the nervous sys-
item is growing more severe. Then.

zone pace in country lacking the
brace of cold weather The man with
a good body stands the pressure. The

keep up or increase your man-power
lby bodily exercise only. Dope win
