No girl can feel confident of her fu-

To Keep Well.

First, preserve a bright, cheerful,
hopeful outlook upon the world of
men and things. There is no tonic
in the world, both for yourself and
those about you, like a cheerful
spirit. OF course you may say that
your i'll health depresses you and
you cannot help being blue. But it
is possible to cultivate the hopeful
spirit in such way that it reacts.
to saving health of the body and of
the very soul itself. The wise man
was the master physician of his day
when he said: GA merry hearth doeth
good like a medicine"
Secondly, live as naturally as you
can by eating wholesome food and
living much in the open air. If lit
tie of physical discomfort was all
the forfeit we had to pay for a heavy
diet, it were not so much matter;
but that is not all. We pay toll of
the happiness and usefulness of our
selves-and others often times. And
as for Gods sunshine, there is moth
ing about us that is so filled with the
wine of life, and he is very peculiar
ly placed indeed who cannot get
much of it.
And, thirdly, avoid nostrums as
you would the devil, for the devil
of disease and ruin is in the most
of them. Of course there are excep-
tions. Some patent medicines are
good and useful, but we do not speak
rashly when we say that in general
they are the prolific cause of much
misery and i'll health. In that opin-
ion we have the authority of the
whole medical profession, and we
have the testimony of common sense.
By method of skilful yet utterly
diabolical advertising, the patent
medicine maker stimulates the very
disease that his nostrum is supposed
to cure, and then, when the patient
applies to him, he makes chronic
what he first induced. This is the
bitter fact which hundreds of vic
TINS can attest. Again we say, avoid
nostrums as you would your deadly
foe. So, then, these three rules are
not hard to keep, and certainly they
will help a man to be healthful and
happy.-The Christian Guardian.
