; which is expressed in our eleven
words.
This was the beginning Oh sci
entific chemistry.
From that scientific start has
come all that we know with pre-
cision about the something like
one hundred different substances,
called Clements" Of which the
entire universe, living and non
living. is composed.
We live in the chemical age.
1t began with our eleven
words.
Here they are:
The composition Of every pure
chemical compound is always the
same"
Simple, aren't they?
But how important.
If you were to read "Chemis-
try in the Service Of Man." by
Alexander Findlay, you would
come to appreciate this impor-
lance as it relates to your own
health and success. -
These eleven words have en-.
abled the chemists accurately to
determine many hitherto I'M
known elements Of which the
universe is composed.
They have enabled science ac-
curately to determine the consdt-
uents Of your own body.
They have enabled you to solve
the great problems Of light and
heat. a
They have enabled you to con-
vert waste products Of coal into
hundreds Of useful compounds
and the refuse Of vegetable mat
ter into such essentials as paper,
artificial silk and celluloid.
They have enabled you to fer.
tilize the soil from the air and
thus make two blades Of grass to
grow when but one grew before.
They have enabled you to take
the lightning from the clouds
and utilize the resistless energy
Of electricity for your welfare
and happiness.
They have enabled you to pene-
trate the mystery Of the ultimate
particles Of matter and combine
them for the making Of glass and
soap.
They have enabled you to con.
vert crude, tasteless and order
less minerals into the sweetness
Of nectar and the fragrance Of
flowers.
They have enabled you to ride
swiftly over the earth. navigate
the seas, sail beneath the waves,
ride above the clouds. speak audi
bly, over thousands Of miles, de-
termine the results Of wars and
the fates Of nations.
These are indeed important
words!

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Please tell me which name
Is the correct one for me to
sign: Mrs. Anna Mary Brown or
Mrs. Anna Smith Brown; I was
Miss Anna Mary Smith before I
was married.
z. When stopping at a hotel with
my son two years Of age, which
way should I sign, ''Mrs. Anna
Brown and son." or MRS. Wal.
ter Brown and Billie?"
MRS. BROWN.
The choice between these is a
personal one; either is correct. Il.
is more the custom to use Anna
Smith Brown, thereby preserving
the maiden name. Usually you
should use "Mrs. Walter Brown"
For the signature Of . letter TO
one who knows you, you would
sign: "Very sincerely yours, Anna
Smith Brwn."
If the letter is business let
ter or a letter to a person who
does not know you, you should
sign: "Pours very truly, Anna
Smith Brown. (Mrs. Walter
Brown.
The Mrs" should never be
used in the direct signature of a
letter Of any kindly ''Mrs. Anna
Smith Brown" is the signature 70
be used only for legal papers.
2. Sign: "Mrs. Walter Brown
and Son. Chicago" "AIrs. Anna
Brown" is not good form.
