The Onward March

Progress is an irresistible force
 Men of imagination of ambition, of aggressiveness have populated the world since the beginning of hs tory.
 Each succeeding generation was conspicuous for it's accomplishments, and left inspiration for succeeding generations.
 The present generation is living in the age of what would have been impossiblities, miracles, a century ago.
 And yet much very much more than has been &C., complished remains to be accomplished.
 It will be accomplished, because progress is irre sistible force, on the onward march.
 Material accomplishment is not the only accomplish ment. Mems minds are undergoing development. Less prejudice less superstition less hatred exists than in the worlds history
 The L. N speaks of these things because it is try ing to accomplish things. It has met, and is stantly meeting with, opposition. Much of that oppo stion is honest opposition. Men desirous of plishng the results oppose because they differ with methods.
 To such men, honest men, say that ours is big system Our standard of excellence in freight and passenger service must be maintained. That in itself is big task.
 But not content to stop there. We want low grades shorter routes, better facilities, better development of our territory.
 We want these things which will be of most benefit to the community at large because we have dreams of the future We know the territory is wonderfully pro- ductive of everything desired by men, and want it to produce.
 These things, the carrying out of our plans, cost money. We must money.
 The L. & N solicits your good will, your freight and passenger patronage cooperation in its effort to keep abreast with the onward march of progress. LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE

ANIMAL SPIRITS.
Our Vital Functions as They Wers
Known In GaIen's Time.

Our Vital Functions as They Wers
Known In GaIen's Time.
Few persons even stop to consider
when they speak OF a man OF spirit
that they are unwittingly employing
the language OF the days OF Galen."
says the Journal OF the American Med
zeal Association. Yet this is evident
~ the survival OF the old doctrine oil
spirits. We may believe that Gales
had a conception OF the nerve trunks
as conductors OF something-he called
It spirits-to and from the brain and
spinal cord.
THE natural spirits were that unde-
fined property which gave to blood the
capacity OF nourishing the tissues OF
the body. The vital spirits were ac-
quired in the heart. and when at last
the blood with its vital spirits went to
the brain and experienced a sort OF re-
fnement for the last time the animal
spirits were separated from IL and car
ried 10 the body by the nerve trunks"
Such was the idea OF the vital func-
lions in the second century. Today,
after 1900 years. we know that there
are no spirits" in our blood or nerves.
but we still speak OF being in high
spirits" or .'low spirits" OF being full
OF animal spirits" of spirited an
swer'' or a spirited horse"
