"WHACKS"
And What They Mean.

When Old Mother Nature gives you
whack" remember there's a 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, gentle ''whacks'' of the
good old Dame, but go right along
with the habit. whatever it NAV be.
that causes her disapproval. Whis-
key, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other I'M
natural treatment of the body, until
serious 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
selected ones oft and again seek to
stimulate and then deaden the tool
the body) by some one or more of the
drugs-Whiskey. Tobacco, Coffee,
Tea. Morphine, etc.
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids in Chem
ical 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 a hint, or mild
"whack" to remind them that they
have work TO do, a mission to per-
mr. cn he oh he
ness, but are loafing along the way
side 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 Instructions so
it can carry out the behests of the
mind.
Sickness is a call to come up
higher" These hints come in various
forms. 1t may be stomach trouble or
bowels. heart. eyes, kidneys or general
nervous prostration. You may de-
pend upon ii 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
Americans.
Now then If Mother Nature is gen
tie with you and only gives light lit
tie "whacks" at first to attract atten-
ton, 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 II you insist
on following the way you have been
going.
II seems hard work to give up a
habit. and we try all sorts Of plans
to charge our III feelings to some
other cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when III 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 bet

enough TO set up some fixed organic
disease, they generally get entirely
well.
II is easy to quit coffee at once
and for all. by having we'll made Pos

good old Mother Nature then sends

kinds and helps us to gain fame and
fortune.
Strip off the handicans. leave out
