All forceful men are creators. the

and soul strength. says DR.. Frank
Crane in the New York World.
To clear up the IDEAS Of Others, to
awaken high enthusiasns in them. to
equip their minds against false rea-
soning and clap-trap, and to render
them vigorous and skillful, In the very

makes you content, If you realize the
wonder and nobleness Of 1t, then

1910, he says, 1t cost $3.50, 900 to carry
s150,00o to the injured workmen; in
1914 (the estimate being based on
the showing for january the injured
workmen will receive $900,O0o and
