Gives Up Cold Bath
Becomes Happy Man

For years l had wasted precious
hours lying in bed mornings even
when awake, solely because of my
reluctance to go in and face the or
deal of cold bath. One morning
at o'clock l asked myself:
Just why do YOU take these cold
baths when YOU hate them so?'
Right offhand couldn't think of
the true answer. My first impulse
was to say, Because it's good for
my health But ! reflected that my
health had been just as good when
l didn't take them. l took cold
baths that / might mention them
and my own hardihood. when talk
ing to the neighbors. But. I further
asked myself. While ! undergo this
daily ordeal for the benefit of the
neighbors, what have the neighbors
ever done for mc?' True. they some
times bring me cookies or n plate OF
ounce jelly. but what sacrifice have
they ever made for me comparable
! with my cold baths?
II decided that the neighbors
didn't half appreciate what | had
| been doing. and then and there quit
the cold bath program forever.
Since then ! have been changed
man. ! began to view life, from the
moment ] awaken each morning,
not with dread but Composurc and
even pleasure. At times / laugh
right gayly. | shout, ! sing. You
would scarcely know me. Fired C.

The grotesquely inadequate steam

The railroads OF the future will haul
more freight with one electric loco
