Reconsideration.

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 If we want to know more, but
self-satisfied ignorance-the kind that
fights 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 ad-
mired by all.
Exhaustion-Harborine Energy.
Because conditions, customers, eli
ents, patients and visitors do not come
evenly, a 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 we'll for it. Exhaustion due to
unnecessary effort Is where all of us
have chance to help ourselves en-
dure the necessary demands. There is
science and an art in harboring en-
ergy, the same as money, so that a
necessary amount of it will be ready
for unexpected requirements.
indiffe rence-Earnestness.
It would be worth a million dollars
a minute to civilization If all the in
difference could be turned into earn
estness. How to do just very little
of it 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 if a
person wishes to move from indiffer-
ence to earnestness it is necessary to
become a leader and take the crowd
along, or else form new company or
grow self-control ..s.
- Poor Food-Good Food. ---
Poor food may be rich or plain. Good
food must be plain--neither rich nor
fat. Potato alone will kill dog in
two weeks, and butter alone would
kill him also. though l 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 to 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,
soma of which you do not care to tell.
Lack of Exercise-Systemati Exer.
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
excuses 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 otter extreme, that
of idleness for some parts of the body
or general inactivity No matter how
hard our work, we need daily motions
for recreation
Loss of Sleep-Eariy 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, if not frequently. Bet
ter take an evening off occasionally
than to have to take week or
month off for sickness involuntarily.
We are tempted to blame our trou-
HES IN the wrong things and not tn
the foolish things we devote our
strength to. Early to bed is better
medicine than late getting up.
