"WhACKS'
And What They Mean.

When Old Mother Nature gives you
q "whack' remember there's rea-
son" so try ana say ''thank your 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 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
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 0he 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 united
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 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
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 tile 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 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 on
following the way you have been go

1t seems hard work to give up hab-
it. ard we try all sorts OF plans to
charge our i'll feelings to some other
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when i'll will attrlb-
ute the trouble to bad food. malaria,
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
day." Then they begin to get better,
and unless they have gone .onS enough
to set up some fixed organic disease,
they generally get entirely we'll.
