Taking Ny Own Medicine.

The advertising OF accuracy all over
the world is my work. To do this
am making economic researches on
accuracy and how to promote informa-
ton on accuracy. When l find some
thing useful TO you in the promotion
of or the doing Of your work my only
safe plan is to poke 1t through the
fence for you to apply. Whenever l
get over the fence with 1t and try to
do for you what you should do for
yourself l neglect my work and him
der you. We must attend to our own
work.
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-12-17
COMMERCIAL JUSTICE.

There is difference between soft
heart and kind'heart.
Soft-hearted people do many things
they should not do and refuse TO 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 soithearted people. be-
.ause 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.
1t requires certain amount of
blood in the brain to be intelligent and
soft heart cannot pump that neces-
sary 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 II would be for
his good'to become selfish. | told him
what he needed was not selfishness,
but the accuracy of commercial JUS
tlce.
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 a momen-
tary reform effort or by blindness. He
now wants to become selfish for the
rest OF his life. but he cannot.
While 1t is. in his mind. impossible
to become selfish. though he thinks he
wants to. in my mind there is a 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-
cordiug for the use of others, then
write down something. though 1t may
not be as good as he would like to
have 1t. Day by day in time he will
get better ones and unconsciously
feed himself mentally and morally.

Two Places on the Same Date.

Have you ever promised to be in
two places at the same time, or so
near the same time that you were
unable to keep both appointments.
That is not such a very difncult thing
TO do, but it is not a very desirable
thing for one who is trying to speak
on accuracy to do. With the hope Of
getting you to confess to me some
mistake which you have made l am
willing to confess that this is some
thing which l recently made in the
way of mistakes.

Words-Words-Woris.

A man who has been a collector OF
nice sayings is getting tired OF them.
He has metal dyspepsia and all

that others continue to admire he

basket. This is because he admired
well-worded thoughts without using
them intelligently and persistently.

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 have wanted to
| tell how happened to study medicine.
and this may be my best chance. Ny
father wanted me to become a civil
engineer. My mother thought
would make a good dentist. wanted
to be an expert bookkeeper. but think
ing there was chance to help human
| ity as doctor, took a 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 | was more in
terested in the prevention OF disease
than in It's 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 II were
to devote all my time to the practice
of the prevention of accidents and
sickness. About 1885 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
vp htft hA rtt
After allowing the subject to season
for year ! wrote him again and got
about the same opinion. He knew
how dinicult 1t is for ore 20 volun-
,ariiy lake coed advice. He insisted
on his patients obeylng his wise or
ders. but he did not obey them him
self. He recently died. though he
should have lived a third or half
century longer 1t is a very unusually
wise and strong man who can do as
he would unselflshly advise friend
to do.
In 1892 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 ole
and new world few thousand or
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 effectivei
truth convincingly illustrated. | have
a collection of information started in
1879 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 1t real. A grain dealer
in Illinois who has taken some in
terest in my system has written me
that my report gave him a very pleas
ant surprise. as the plan was so new
to him he went in on 1t somewhat in
the dark. His letter tells me he has
been most favorably impressed with
my way of collecting useful informa-
tion.

Power in PULLING roae.her.

What do you want to know which
you would be willing that others might
know and what do you know as a
start for a search for the information
wanted? Suppose hundreds OF other
people know part and want to know
more. By each one sending an item
a valuable report could be prepared
and each contributor secure a copy
of it.

UneIassiHed People.

Sometimes you meet a person you
cannot classify because they are on a
track of their own which is unlike
other tracks. Do not try to classify
such people. If you do try to you
mislead yourself and misjudge the
person. Exchange information with
them and let the classifying alone.

Honesty and strenath.

There is a direct and conqueringl
