they toiled together. each ever ready
with a helpful hand. Finally old age
found them happy, healthy, prosperous
and respected by all. Together they
passed the milestone that marks four
score and ten years. They had lived,
and loved, and toiled in sunshine and
shade, together. Now in their green
old age they cheerfully awaited the
final summons. One day it came.
Death raped on the door of the home
that had been the scene Of their joys
and sorrows, their tolls and their tri-
umphs. but for once death was kind.
The old couple, surrounded by their
children and grandchildren, hand in
hand, made their final bow and stepped
out into the Great Unknown together.
And the curtain fell.
1t is the story of two lives worth liv-
ing. There are too few like it. 1t is a
sad commentary on modern civilization
that people are in too big hurry, to be
helpful or kind or loving or happy or
healthy. Here was an old couple who
all their lives had understood the true
science of living. They had toiled long
and hard, but had always found time
20 be kind and helpful to each other.
They laid up a snug fortune for their
children and their children's children,
but they We're never too busy to look
after their own health and their own
happiness. They possessed a secret
that would transform the world. That
secret was the knowledge. that good
health is the basis of all happiness, and
ill-health the starting point of most I'M
happiness. 1t doesn't lie within the
possibilities Of nature for an unhealthy
man to be happy man, or, for sickly
woman to be a smiling one. OF all the
sayings of all the sages there are none
truer than those which say, Health is
happiness and Health is wealth.
To these may added, without fear of
dispute, Health is long life."
1t is easy to be healthy. It is easier
TO be healthy than it is to be ill-and it
is much more comfortable. Health is a
matter of right living and just a little
patch there and there. There never was
a machine made that did not OCCASION
ally get little out Of order. If the de-
feet is remedied at once, little or no
harm is done. But if the machine Is
left to pound and hammer ahead, re-

"smash-up" is a certainty. 1t is thus

There IS one al1-embracing disorder
that is responsible for almost every form
of fll-health- 1t Is indigestion Nearly
every known wasting disease, including
mankind'S direst enemy, consumption,
has it's inception IN this disorder. Peo-
pie make the mistake of thinking that
slight touch of indigestion doesn't
amount to much. 1t is the biggest mis-
take a human being ever made. The
man who doesn't properly digest his food
suffers from slow starvation. When food
is not properly digested, the system
