You who see this Sunday newspaper regularly know
that the idea Of the editorials is not to tell you what some
editor thinks but to supply picture and words that Will
stimulate YOUR thought No food builds up your BODY ex-
cept that which is dgested inside Of YOU No thought
builds up your mind except the thought that goes on INSIDE
Of YOUR skull The human brain can soak up the LnouhI

the whole brain Of any lion.
And in some little part of that weI-rounded human
BRAIN constantly developing there the power that takes
iron from the hills changes into steel bars captures
lions in the desert and puts them behind those bars
Those prize fighters with their big and legs have
only brute force less than half the strength of orang

You not only find in this picture interesting lecture
for your the value Of mind compared with muscle
but another useful lecture upon the educational value of
