PHYSICAL BANKRUPTCY.

A prudent business man always has
some resources in reserve to meet unex-
pected contingencies. He knows that
he must be prepared for changes in
commercial values and disappointments
in business engagements. To continue
sound, healthy business, he must
have something to fall back upon if &C.
casion demands. His daily balance
fiuctuates more or less, but its bulk is
never seriously impaired without caus-
ing much concern and melting meas
ures for its reinforcement The re-
serve, if diminished to any considerable
extent, is carefully nourished by econ
omy of expenditure, and soon relieves
itself, and then business goes ON as be-
fore.
Analogous conditions prevail in the
human system. A healthy man uses
up, as ordinary occasion demands, a
certain amount of his vital strength in
the pursuance of his daily duties his
rest at night, his food, his recreation,
serve to make good the loss incurred,
and his balance of health remains about
the same. But now some accident or
disease overtakes him; his body's in
come is cut off, his appetite gone, his
rest disturbed, while fever, pain and
anxiety sap his strength and rapidly
encroach upon his reserve vitality.
Whether he RECEIVERS depends upon the
amount of reserve force and the degree
of the demand upon it. If he has not
impaired his constitution by indul-
gences, or weakened it by too close ap-
plication to business and neglect of
such sanitary principles as tend to pre-
serve his vital forces intact, he will be
able to meet the drafts drawn upon him
by his illness. During convalescense
expenditure of force is as limited as
possible. His vital income is greater
than his outgo. His reserve is in
creased day by day, and when he has
fully recovered it has reached it's nor
NAL condition of stability. If, how
ever, his recovery is incomplete, or
from the nature of his disability impos-
sible, his reserve force is permanently
impaired, and he remains an invalid,
his body capital is infringed beyond re-
pair.
1t is essential then, if stable health
is to be expected, that provisions should
be made for emergencies that are sure
to arise i'll the corporal as in the COM
mercial system, and that simply to
meet the requirements of the day is not
sufficient. AS in business affairs dis
asters surely follow large responsible
ties and greater risks, which are con-
stantly making inroads upon the cap
ital involved, so vital bankruptcy is
Imminent when larger drafts are made
upon the nervous force than is consist
ent with its daily gain. In such cases
nature invariably foretells the coming
danger, and as clearly points out the
course to avoid it.-P. s. Starr, NJ. D.,
in Worthington Magazine.

0PEN.AIR ETHICS.

Keep in the open air as much as
possible" is the first and great COM
mandment that should be urged in the
spring. During the winter we neces-
sarily live a more or less unnatural
life. We breathe the air vitiated by
furnace heat, with all the vital quail
ties baked out of it, and hence during
the winter we subject ourselves to a
gradual process of slow poisoning
The antidote for this poisoning is fresh
air. So this universal instinct to get
out of doors during the spring of the
year is natural instinct, which, like
all natural instincts, has cause based
on the eternal condition of things. 1t
is natures effort to expel the stirred up
poison accumulated during the winter.
Man is naturally an open air animal.
But climate conditions render open
air life sometimes impossible. As
soon, however, as these conditions are
removed, the old primal instinct to get
out beneath the sky asserts itself, and
this instinct cannot be disregarded ex-
cept at the peril of health. Get out in
the open air every day and stay there
as long as possible. 1t will make you
better physically mentally and NOR
ally. Globe.
