Evangelist Moody was born in 1837, became a shoe-seller, then an ardent saver of .souls. He hammered on the word of God as if it had been a heel-peg, with, determination, with insistence, with enormous vigor, but without superfluous gesticulation. Said D. L. Moody, early in his career: "... I wouldn't let a day pass without speaking to some one about their soul's salvation . . . There will be 365 in a year that shall hear the gospel from my lips." With Ira David Sankey, who sang hymns, he toured the U. S. and England, giving...
...numerous other machines and processes on which so much of life today depends. Nothing in the world is so potent with possibilities as a new idea, and really new ideas are rare and the product of genius. (Not all inventions are of this class. Though I occasionally enjoy Life Saver candies, I do not believe that the invention of the hole in the candy deserved the reputed reward of a million dollars, or that the invention of a blue stripe on kitchen utensils should establish a man in either Wall Street or the Hall of Fame...

No longer does a good, old fashioned, out and out murder whet the public appetite; we must have infinite complications--simple enough to be comprehended, but spicy--everything from Pig Women to perjury. Even the "eternal triangle" which seemed as permanent as a Platonic idea, is losing its saver. Let us have more pepper in the sauce. Let us make each breakfast when we read the morning papers a 100 per cent Roman-American holiday...
Another Life Saver. When cigarets taste nasty, when the bouquet of gin lingers, when gum drops cloy-it is soothing to champ at a hard mint tablet. Neither Life Savers Inc. nor other makers of hard candy lozenges flavored with aromatic oils-mint, cloves, pepper-have stressed in their advertising those demands for their products. None the less, they have profited therefrom, Life Savers Inc. most of all. This company is even listed on the Manhattan Stock Exchange. It has 8,000 jobbers and dealers; it makes fruit lozenges, which lack the famed Life Saver "hOle";* and shortly it will...
