And What They Mean.

When Old Mother Nature gives you
Hwhack' remember there's a rea-
som SO try and say thank youA then
set about finding what you have done
to demand the rebnke, 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, gentle "whacks" Of the good
old Dame, but go right along with the
habit whatever it may be, that causes
her disapproval. Whiskey, Tobacco,
Coffee, Tea or other unnatural treat
ment 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
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 selected ones
oft and again seek to stimulate and
then deadenS the tool (the body by
some one or more of the drugs Whis-
key, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Morphine,
etc.
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids in Chemical
analysis. They stimulate and then de-
press 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 if they but stick to the course
and keep the body clear Of distractions
SO it can carry out the behests Of the
mind
Sickness is call 10 come up high
err These hints come i'll various
forms. 1t may be stomach trouble or
bowels, heart. eyes, Kidneys or general
nervous prostration. You may depend
upon it when a "whack" comes it's
warning to quit some abuse and do the
right and fair thing with the body.
Perhaps 1t is Coffee drinking that
offends. That is one Of the greatest
causes of human disorder among
Americans.
Now then if Mother Nature is gentle
with you and only gives light little
.swhacks' 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 on
following the way you have been go-
ing.
1t seems hard work to give up a hab-

charge our i'll feelings to some other
cause than the real one.

oyerwork 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.
1t is easy to quit coffee at once and
for all, by having well made Postum,
with it's 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 il the Postum has been boiled
long enough to bring 1t out.

her blessings OF many and various
kinds and helps US to gain fame and
fortune.
