' ifia. Pi We Have Just Talked Out With a Learned Friend the question: "Arc first thoughts or second thoughts the better?" The conclusion of a successful doctor was that in medical and surgical cases second thoughts are as a rule a necessity. But the commercial man without hesitation affirmed that he had found first thoughts the best in purely business matters, and emphasize particularly that in patriotic, heroic undertakings for the public good, aiding sick and suffering, if the first thought is not promptly followed, in at least half of the instances, nothing is done. A good thing is often an inspiration, and if it is not immediately acted upon it is lost. When the heart and hand go together there are few mistakes made. Signed Juno 13, 1921. tm4.
