the lack of those fundamental ele-

philosophers call work There is
no excuse for you and the time is
fast approaching when you will either
have to adjust your program or let
conditions adjust you. The success

lightened public opinion as the public
has the same general aim. BY this
you may think and act wisely. The

antee better adjustment, better
make economic needs a
