COMMERCIAL JUSTICE.

There is a difference between soft
heart and kind heart.
Soft-hearted people do many things
they should not do and refuse tc do
some things they should do.
Kind-hearted people are more anx-
ious to be useful than soft-hearted
people are.
And kind-hearted people are more
useful than soft-hearted people, be-
cause they think and discriminate.
The most useful person is the one
who helps another to self-help, but to
do this requires intelligence and soft
hearted people are not intelligent.
It requires a certain amount OF
blood in the brain to be intelligent and
. soft heart cannot pump that neces-
cary amount so high. Hard-hearted
people are more likely to become kind
hearted than soft-hearted people are.
A big man told me this noon that
he had always been an easy mark and
soft hearted and that it would be Tor
his good to become selfish. l told him
what he needed was not selfishness,
but the accuracy of commercial JUS
ice.
He has hired, given to and helped
others to their injury and he has re-
fused some to his and their injury.
His refusals were during momen-
tary reform effort or by blindness. He
now wants to become selfish for the
rest of his life. but he cannot.
While it is, in his mind, impossible
TO become selfish, though he thinks he
wants to, in my mind there is daily
exercise for his heart and head which
will help him to grow commercial
Justice and become more useful to
others and less troublesome to him
self.
Let him spend minute day hunt
ing his memory for an event worth re-
cording for the use of others, then
write down something, though it may
not be as good as he would like to
have it. Day by day in time he will
get better ones and unconsciously
feed himself mentally and morally.

FOR LONG AND HAPPY LIFE.

II time is money, then good health
Is time plus enjoyment. Life Is worth
living when we know how to live and
live as well as we know how. But
there is certainly something WRONG
when we see all classes represented
in the daily list of deaths due to sui
cides and unnecessary diseases and
accidents
For some time l have wanted to
tell how happened to study medicine,
and this may be my best chance. My
father wanted me to become a civil
engineer. My mother thought
would make good dert1st. l wanted
to be an expert bookkeeper. but think
ing there was chance to help human
ity as a doctor, took five years.
medical course; then feeling the need
of more study, took up the newspa-
per work in order to travel and OBJ
serve and expand.
Not long after leaving the medical
school | learned that l was more in
terested in the prevention of disease
than in its cure and that there is as
much difference between them as be-
tween the sun and the moon. l might
have to go into all the world to find
enough people to sustain me If were
to devote all my time to the practice
Of the prevention of accidents and
sickness. About 1885 l wrote DR.. Pep
per, Provost of the University of
Pennsylvania, and submitted plans
requesting an expression of his opin-
ion. He replied that my plan was in
genious, but he feared impractical.
After allowing the subject to season
for year l wrote him again and got
about the same opinion. He knew
how difficult it is for one to volun-
tarily take good advice. He insisted
on his patients obeying his wise or
ders, but he did not obey them him
self. He recently died, though he
should have lived third or half
century longer. It is very unusually
wise and strong man who can do as
he would unselfishly advise a friend
to do.
In 1892 I went on with my plans
and own zeal for advice and backing.
Merchants and ministers were the
first to encourage and sustain me, and
would like to be of some use to
them.
1t Is one thing to sit down and pre-
pare a good book, but an entirely diff
ferent piece Of work to stand up and
apply the good ideas in the book My
goal is to do both.
Now back to the subject of health:
Do you suppose could find In the old
and new world a few thousand or a
few hundred people who would sus-
tain, for personal benefit, original and
continued study of the daily sources
of good health? 1t would cost some
thing to go at it right and keep at it
long; long enough to get effective
truth convincingly illustrated. l have
a collection of information started in
1872 to build on. Would you be one
of many to spend time, thought and
money to back me up? A century of
enjoyable living is possible. Suppose
we try to make it real A grain dealer
in Illinois who has taken some in

been most favorably impressed with
my way of collecting useful informa-
ton.
