DO IT NOW.

Anyone who ha 3 travelled over the United States of Amerisi cannot fail to carry away from the crowded, jostling cities oi the States ji feeling oi the tense lives lived by the American man, and for that matter also, of the American woman. The alertness that has rroduced the vigorous young republic is seen ir tho home, tho factory, and the countinjhcuse. Tho American is practical. Lest he forget lie Langs his virtus or de3ired virtue ever his desk. Ste-p into a live office in Nsvv York 10-day and one cannot fail to see 1 l:ttlo card before the desk of the master :f the business. On the card are the words. "Do it 'iow." That card indicates a wave that is passing over the States to-day — a "Do it now" ways. Another wave may come along and another card may take the place of "Do it now" — but, meanwhile, that card at present is douig a work that will remain in the character of the person reading n daily and hourly. The "Do it now character wiH have been worked into ..the life of the man, and he can afford to pass on to, perhaps, the "Hurry up" wave or the "Be alivp" wave. Whatever wave may come along, 'Do it now" will have become, to an extent, part of his chaT.cter. It's the same principle thar a certain picture constantly before the youth-
