You are also told, and may safely
believe, that carrots. fresh butter

The late President Ripley of the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
said: "The three important words
In the language of success are or
ganize, deputize, supervise.
That is wisdom. Another wise
thing was said by another railroad

Atterburys important associates on
the Pennsylvania railroad: "This is

Sir Arthur Eddington, great Brit
ish astronomer, bewilders you with
this statement: "The earth is older
than the universe ITSELF" The uni
verse, he believes. Is 100000 900
years old, and the earth is older

Only deep astronomer can un-
derstand how one grain of sand In

The late Lord Kelvin said the age
limit OF the sun and earth could not
be above 50,000.0O0 years. The high
school child laughs at that estimate
now and Eddington admits that fu.

scientist. not quack, tells the
British Medical Journal that he has

With waves of varying lengths he
has treated assesses of the lungs,
following pneumonia, peritonitis
and other troubles.
Waves that you cannot see, at
tacking buried diseases, out OF sight
in the human body, create a new
respect for science

From New York's viaduct, at Riv-
