When Old Mother Nature gives yea
q "whack" remember there's n rea-
son" so Try ami say thank you" thon
set about finding what you have done
to demand the rebuka, and Try and gtS
back into line, for that's the happy
place after all.
Curious how many highly organized
people fail to appreciate and heed tho
first little, gentle "whacks" Of the good
old Dame, but go right along with the
habit whatever 1t may be, that causes
her disapprovaL Whiskey. Tobacco,
Coffee Tea or other unnatural treat
mGnt Of the body, until serious illness
sets in or some chronic disease.
Some people seem to get Oh very
we'll with those things for awhile, and
Mother Nature apparently cares but
little what they Go.
Perhaps she has no particular plaEs
for them and thinks X little Use to
waste time in their training
There are people, however, who seem
TO be selected ly Nature 10 do things"
The Old Mother expects them to carry
out some department Of her great
work A postioa of these selected ones
oft and again seek to stimulate and
then dsaden the tool (the body by
some one or mora OF the drugs--WLis-
key, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea. Morphine,
etc.
You know all Of these throw down
the same Gas Of alkaloids In Chemical
analysis. Thay stimulate and then de-
press. They take from man or WOMAN
the power to DO his or her best work,
After these people have drugRod fer
q time they get hint, OF midi "whask'
TO remind them. that they have work to
do, mission to perform, and EhoSld
be abort the business, bit are loafing
along the wayside and become united
for the fame and fortune that waits
for them If they but stick 20 the course
and keep the body clear Of distractions
so 1t can carry out the b2hests of The
mind.
Sickness is a call to come up high
en-" These hints come III various
forms. 1t may be stomach trouble or
bowels, heart. eyes. kidneys or general
nervous prostration. You may depend
upon it when "whack" comes It's
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, liEtlc
"whacks' at first 20 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 haG-
it, and we try all sorts of plans to
charge our i'll feelings 10 some other
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when i'll will ottriD-
ute the trouble to bad food, malaria,
oyerwork and what not but they keep
on being sick and gradually gettini;
worse until they are finally forced to
quit entirely, even the only one cup Il
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 ali, by having we'll 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 If the Postum has been boiled
long enough to bring it out.
It pays to be we'll and happy foc
good old Mother Nature then sends us
her blessings of many and various
kinds and helps US to gain fame and
fortune.
Strip of the handicaps, leave out the
deadening habits, heed Mother Nj
lures hints, quit being loser and be-
come a winner. She will help You
sure if you cut out the things that keep
you back.
There's a reason" and a profound
one
