The Elbert County tribune., 1903-10-22
Ienoranee-Attention.

No one knows everything about
every subject Some of us are not
three years old on some subjects
why some OF us have not been born
on some subjects. Ignorance Is not
so bad II we want to know more, but
self-satisfied ignorance-the kind that
f,ie.s intelligence--is about as unde-
sirable as anything on record in the
history OF the world. Attention is the
enemy of ignorance and the friend of
growth that leads 20 genuine good
ness or that something which is adj
inired by all. even by those who fight
II on every occasion.
Observation-Disclosures Energy.
Because conditions. customers, eli
ents, patients and visitors do not come
evenly, workers duties are some
times punched. and the exhaustive de
mands must be met. Rush work kills
more wealthy people than poor people.
because they are not prepared physic-
ally so well for IT, Exhaustion due to
unnecessary effort is where all of us
have chance to help ourselves en-
dure the necessary demands. There is
q science and an art in harboring en-
ergy. the same as money. so that a
necessary amount OF 1t will be ready
for unexpected requirements. 1t Is
possible not only to begin hours and
days. but months end years before
hand TO prepare for hard work.
indifference-Earnes
It would be worth a million dollars
minute to civilization il all the in
difference could be turned into earn
estness. How to do Just very little
OF 1t may be for you and to pull to-
gether on. A great deal depends on
association. The majority of people
are like those they think with and II n
person wishes to move from indiffer-
ence TO earnestness 1t is necessary to
become leader and take the crowd
along. or else form new company or
grow self-controI
Poor Food-Good Food.
Poor food may be rich or plain. Good
food must be plain-neither rich nor
Nat. Potato alone Will kill dog in
two weeks. and butter alone would
kill him also. though | do not know
the length of time for 1t to do SO. Very
few of us know what or how to send
things down our esophagus. but have
some stories 10 tell about eating to
JOY. sorrow, wisdom and regret as well
AS 10 love. glory and profit. You may
have some stories on this subject.
some of which you do not care to tell.
Lack Of Exercioe-Systemati Exef-
else
Many a giant has been ruined by
lack of exercise. while five minutes a
day of systematic and sensible exer-
else has turned invalids into enviable
condition. Everybody is benefited in
all ages by special exercises. Foolish
excesses are to be kept away from.
such as running till you drop dead or
lifting till you burst your heart, but
the majority of people need to be
warned from the other extreme. that
of idleness for some perts of the body
or general inactivity No matter how
hard our work, we need daily motions
for recreation.
Loss Of SIeep-Early to Bed.
Very few are able to regulate their
hours of sleep every night in the year.
Either ones work or other duties.
company or sickness will prevent.
Sometimes fires or burglars disturb a
whole neighborhood or town. But
everyone may be able to retire early
once in a while. II not frequently. Bet
ter take an evening on occasionally
than to have to take a week or a
month of for sickness involuntarily.
We are tempted to blame our trou-
bles to the wrong things and not to
the foolish things we devote our
strength to. Early to bed is better
rSedicine than late getting up.
