The Crimes of the Tongue.

The second most deadly instru.
ment of destruction is the dynamite
gun-the first is the human tongue,
The gun merely kills bodies, the
tongue kills regulations and, oft
times, ruins characters. Each gun
works alone, each loaded tongue has
a hundred accomplices. The havoc
of the gun is visible at once. The full
evil of the tongue lives through all
the years; even the eye of Omniscience
might grow tracing it to it's finality.
The crimes of the tongue are words
of unkindness, of anger, of malice, Of
envy, of bitterness, of harsh criticism,
gossip, lying and scandal. Theft and
murder are awful crimes, yet in any
single year the aggregate sorrow,
pain and suffering they cause in a
nation is microscopic when compared
with the sorrows that come from the
crimes of the tongue. Place in one
of the scale pans of justice the evils
resulting from the acts of criminals
and in the other the grief and tears
and suffering resulting from the
crimes OF responsibility and you will
start back in amazement as you see
the scale you thought the heavier
shoot high in the air.
At the hands of thief or murderer
few of us suffer, even indirectly. But
from the careless tongue of the cruel
tongue of enemy, who is free? No
human being can live a life so true,
SO fair, so pure as to be beyond the
reach of malice or immune from the
poisonous emanations of envy. The
insidious attacks against ones repu-
tation, the loathsome innuendoes,
slurs, halflies by which Jealous medi.
ocrity seeks to ruin its superiors, are
like those insect parasites that kill
the heart and life of a mighty oak.
Socowardly is the method, so stealthy
the shooting of the poisoned thorns,
so insignificant the separate acts in
their seeming, that one is not on
guard against them. 1t is easier to
dodge an elephant than a microbe.

Workers Should Breakfast sparingly.

Do not eat a hearty breakfast il
you have any mental or physical
work to do thereafter. The full
stomach may satisfy your craving,
but cannot give you the needed or
desired strength under about three or
four hours. Digestion, absorption,
and assimilation must take place be
fore you can get any good from your
breakfast. Ii these proc. sses are not
completed the hearty breakfast sim,
ply clogs the vital machinery. There
fore the hearty six O'Clock dinner
which will not only build up the waste
of the day, but provide a reserve tol
the morrow, is to be commended
