"WHACkS"
And What They Mean.


a "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 "wha cks' of the good
old Dame, but 20 right along with the
habit, whatever it may be, that causes
her disapproval. Whisky, 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 a while, 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 stimu-
late 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 chemi-
cal analysis. They stimulate and then
depress. They take from man or wom-
an 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, a mission to perform, and should
be about the business, but are loating
along the waysde 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 obstruc-
lions 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 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 gentle
with You and only gives light, little
"whacks" Mt 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
doing.
1t seems hard work to give up a
habit. and we try all sorts of plans to
charge our i'll feelings to some other
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when inl will attrib-
ute the trouble to bad food. malaria,
overwork and what not. Dut 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
ter, 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 ut once and
for all. by having well 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, milu Java is
there if the Postum has been boiled
long enough to bring ii ont.
1t pays to be well and happy for
good old Mother Nature then sends us
her blessings of many and various
kinds and helps us to gain fame and
fortune.
Strip off the handicapS, leave out the
deadeninc habits. heed Mother Ma
lures hints, quit being loser and
become n winner. She will help you
sure if you cut out the things that
keep you back.
'sThere's reason" and profound
one.
