Are So Many helps for your hands? It is true that money will not buy as much as it did fifty years ago, but think how much more valuable time is than it used to be. Think of the telescope, telegraph and telephone, typewriters, tools to work with, automobiles, phonographs, etc.! It is not impossible for a man or a woman to live in one year now as much as in ten years of the times of fifty years ago, and civiliza tion and invention have not yet exhausted themselves.
