"WHAcKS"
And What They Mean.


a "whack,"" remember there's rea-
son." SO try and say thank you" then
set about finding what you have done
to demand the rebuke, and try and
get back into line, for that's the happy
place after all.
Curious how many highly organized
people fail to appreciate and heed the
first little, geutle "whacks" of the
good old Dame, but go right along
with the habit, whatever it may be,
that causes her disapproval. Whisky,
Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnat-
ural treatment of the body, until Sc
rious illness sets in or some chronic
disease.
Some people seem to get on very
we'll with those things for awhile, and
Mother Nature apparently cares but
little what they do.
Perhaps she has no particular plans
for them and thinks it little use to
waste time in their training.
There are people, however, who
seem to be selected by Nature to do
things" The old Mother expects them
to carry out some department of her
great work. A portion of these select
ed ones oft and again seek to stimulate
and then deaden the tool (the body
by some one or more of the drugs
Whisky, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Nor
phine, etc.
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids in Chem
lcal analysis. They stimulate and then
depress. They take from man or
woman the power to do his or her best
work.
After these people have drugged for
time, they get hint, or mild
"whack," to remind them that they
have work to do, mission to perform
and should be about the business, but
are loafing along the wayside and be-
come untitled for the fame and for
tune that waits for them If they but
stick to the course and keep the body
|
out the behests of the mind.
Sickness is call to come up high
err" These hints come in variou!
forms. 1t may be stomach trouble Of
bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or gen
eral nervous prostration. You may de
pend upon it when "whack" come
It's warning to quit some abuse ant
do the right and fair thing with tn,
body.
Perhaps it is coffee drinking tina
offends. That Is one of the creates
causes of human disorder anon
Americans.
Now, then, if Mother Nature is gen
tie with you and only gives ligh
little "whacks" at first to attract at
tention, don't abuse her consideration
or she will soon hit you harder, SURE
And you may also be sure she wi
hit you very, very hard if you insis
on following the way you have bee
going.
1t seems hard work to give up
habit, and we try all sorts, of plan
to charge our Ill feelings to some othe
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when i'll will attrit
ute the trouble to bad food, malari'
overwork and what not, but they kee
on being sick and gradually gettin
worse, until they are finally forced
quit entirely, even the "only on
cup day." Then they begin to g.
better, and unless they have gone Ion
enough to set up some fixed organ
disease, they generally get entirel
well.
1t Is easy to quit coffee at once an
4 for all, by having well made Postur
with its rich, deep, seal brown colt
which comes to the beautiful golde
brown when good cream is added, ar
h the crisp snap of good, mild Java
there if the Postum has been boils
long enough to bring it out.
1t pays to be well and happy f
good old Mother Nature then sends |
j. her blessings of many and variol
y kinds and helps us to gain fame al
