"WHAcks."
And What They Mean,
When old Mother Nature gives yc

When old Mother Nature gives you a
"whack" remember there's reason"
so try and say thank YOU then set
about finding what you have done to
! demand the rebuke and try to get back
into line, for that's the happy place at
ter all.
Curious how many highly organized
people fail to appreciate and heed the
first little gentle "whacks" Of the good
old dame. but go right along with the
habit whatever 1t may be- that causes
her disapproval. Whisky. tobacco.
coffee. tea or other unnatural treatment
of the body, until serious illness sets
in or some chronic disease.
Some people seem to get on very well
with those things for awhile and Moth
err 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 selected ones
and again seek to stimulate and then
deaden the tool (the body by some one
or more of the drugs-Whisky, Tobac-
co. Coffee, Tea, Morphine, etc.
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids in chemi-
cal 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
a time, they get hint or mild
"whack' to remind them that they have
work to do, a mission to perform, and
should be about the business, but are
loafing along the wayside and become
untitled for the fame and fortune that
waits for them il they but stick to the
course. and keep the body clear of OBJ
structions so it can carry out the be-
hests of the mind.
Sickness is a call to "come up high
err" These hints come in various forms.
1t may be stomach trouble, or bowels,
heart eyes, kidneys or general ner-
vous prostration. You may depend
upon it when a "whack' comes it's a
warning to quit some abuse and do the
right and fair thing with the body.
Perhaps it is coffee drinking that
offends. That is one of the greatest
causes of human disorder among AM
orleans.
Now then if Mother Nature is gentle
with you and only gives light, little
"whacks' at first to attract attention,
don't abuse her consideration, or she
will soon hit you harder sure.
And you may also be sure she will
hit you very, very hard if you insist
IN hoy
going.
1t seems hard work to give UP hab-
it, and we try all sorts of plans to
charge our Ill feelings to some other
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when i'll will attrib-
ute the trouble to bad food, malaria,
overwork and what not. but they keep
on being sick, and gradually getting
worse until they are finally forced to
quit entirely, even the only one cup
a day" Then they begin to get better
and unless they have gone long enough
to set up some fixed organic disease
they generally get entirely well.
It is easy to QUIT coffee at once and
for all, by having we'll made Postum,
with its rich, deep, seal brown color
which comes to the beautiful golden
brown when good cream is added and
the crisp snap of good, mild Java IS
there if the Postum has been boilea
long enough to bring it out.
II paws to be well and happy, for
good old Mother Nature then sends US
her blessings of many and various
kinds and helps US to II fame and
fortune.
strip off the handicaps, leave out
the deadening habits, heed Mother
Natures hints. quit being loser and
become a winner. She will help you
sure if you cut out the things that
keep you back.
