BY George Matthew Adams
THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE.

All great things are wrapped under
meath a covering of the impossible
before they are attempted.
The infinite God meant it that way
so as to dot the earth with men.
If you want inspiration to come to
you as you look toward your task, you
must first shake hands with the thing
that people say you can't do. And then
you get the spirit, you begin to see
light, you feel the intangible taking
upon ngibility--the impossible be-
coming perfectly possible.
The life that we all live is some.
What Of a relative dream after all.
We ought to become expert at seeing
visions at onsets. We ought at every
early stage to become personally con-
versant with all the knows" and
"shalls" and wills" and "sures" of our
caliber So that we might proceed
with great expectancy. For then we
would be doors sure enough.
Expect the seemingly impossible to
be around. 1t always has been.
Of course the thing looks too big,
too intricate, and too arduous. If it
looked easy you would underestimate
It's worth, both to you and to the
world. And that's what the emmy of a
common man or of a great army
general most desires.
write to those who daily face the
seemingly mpossible-none others.
In you rests a fine part in the de-
velopment and shaping Of freedom
and democracy in the world. You are a
possibility of the thing you see done,
You are the salt of the earth-with-
cut which it is sure to lose its SAVIOR!

all world markets. British export business for
1919 was 1913 per cent greater than for 1918. Her
foreign trade in January of this year was greater
than that of the United States. This supplies an
economic lesson for the United States"
But do we catch the moral and apply the les
son?
While we have been forced to stand by while
gigantic coal, steel and switchmen's strike par
alyzed our industries temporarily, and prevented
us from satisfying domestic demands for goods,
the English people began to buckle down to work
and to produce results. The 1913 per cent in
crease in her exports tells the story.
We have had the markets Of the world in our
hands for three years. Blessed with natural re-
sources, equipped with wonderfully potential
industrial organization, supplied with ingenious
mechanics and artisans, there was nothing we
lacked to become the masters of the worlds COM
,nerce but the disposition to work.
We preferred to work three days and loaf
three. We chose to strike at the slightest pro.
vocation. We elected to stand in idleness while
others worked with might We put the brakes
on the great machine Of production. And today
England, which few months ago, in suppliant
mood even if for sinister purpose, begged fol-
money, is gaining what she set out to win-trade
continued prosperity, riches for all.
After all the real victory of the war was won
by England. She will control the markets of the
world, for Germany, her old rival has been effect
lively throttled.

Pneumonia attacks the air cells
of the lungs. An inflammation
is set up and matter is thrown
off which causes the air cells to
solidify, thus preventing the
natural flow of blood thru the
lungs. This backing up" of
the blood causes the heart to
pump harder, just as stepping on
a hose increases the water pres
sure. which is the reason why,
during this disease, the physician
watches the overburdened heart
so carefully
After recovery the lungs are
filled with a mass of wreckage-
the debris of the battIe-which
must be gotten rid of by a process
known as resolution. Frequently,
lnf1amed spots remain, congestion
persists, cough hangs on, and the
least exposure brings on a cold
that is hard to get rid of. If
neglected, such damaged air pas
sages may easily develop serious
disease of the lungs.
Such cases should always con-
tinue under a physicians care
and frequent examinations should
be made to see that nature is
