There is no greater folly than ignor-
ance where knowledge is possible. and
vitality necessary to safety and happiness
and yet tens of thousands of people walk
this world linked with folly They are
ignorant of the conditions of the life thew
lead, ignorant Of the constitution of their
own bodies. Yet they do not seek knowl-
edge. They make no provision for their
journey through life. They go forward in
this direction or that, ignorant of their
own destination. Do you know the mean
ing of the
GRAY HAIRED GIRLS
and wrinkled boys of our days? Nothing
else but ignorance and the folly that
grows out of it. Children grow to man
hood and woman hood ignorant of the con-
ditions under which nature governs. They
break her laws recklessly. They exhaust
themselves in the mistaken effort to
have a good time while they are young
knowledge would open up to them the
view of life that shows mature manhood
and womanhood against immature youth
as the full formed and favored fruit
against the green unrpened fruits that
are desired of none. If the Common

explained below, We're in every home there
would be fewer physical wrecks. For this
great dictionary of health holds the mirror
up to nature and shows folly her own i'm
age. 1t teaches that self knowledge,
which is necessary to well being in man,
and woman; it delicately lifts the veil of
that private life that every man and maid
must live, and shows how that life may
be lived to the fullest advantage and with
the greatest enjoyment.
But facing the facts as they are, what
is to be done? For
FOLLY BREEDS FOLLY.
The folly of delay springs naturally from
the folly of ignorance. AS the little 10y
said of his sister, whorwas not afraid of
ghosts, Maybe she hasn't the sense to be
afraid so it may be said of thousa lds
who go on to a future of pain and suffer-
ing: 'They haven't the sense to be
afraid" 1t takes sense to be afraid. There
are people without number who would
stand still in their tracks appalled, if they
knew their own danger. But they don't
know, and they are not afraid.
Some day comes the shock when nature
presents her overdraft account and de-
mands payment. Sometimes It's heart
trouble, sometimes the stomach fails of
it's functions, sometimes the liver refuses
TO tug any longer at it's load, or the kid
neys balk at their burden. Sometimes,
very often, indeed, a red spot begins TO
burn on the cheeks, hacking cough de-
velops, the breath grows short. the
strength oozes out at night I'm dripping
sweat, and every day the daily walk is
shortened by few steps as the strength
fails. That's Consumption. Popular
opinion says the consumptve is like

his last hour to strike. But consumption

clans and their lungs found marked by

ease in their cases Some
thing healed the lungs and made them
well. What was it? In the individual case
il is impossible to say. The theory is that
consumption connot be cured, and it's a
theory so deeply rooted that time is wasted
in combating it, But what is a cure in
such a case? Suppose a man Tor woman
