Ind what They Mean.

When Old Mother Nature gives you a ''whack" remember there's a req 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 lightly 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, To- bacco, Coffee, Tea, or other unnatural 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 a while, and Mo- ther Nature apparently cares but little what they do.
 < Perhaps she has no particular plans for them and thinks 1t 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 portionsof these selected ones oft and again seek to stimulate and then dead- eni the tool (the bodyy 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 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 mind ''whack' to remind them that they have work to do, mission to perform, and should be about the business, but are loafing along the Wayside and become unfit ted for the fame and fortune that waits for them if they but stick to the course and keep the body clear of Instructions so 1t can carry out the behests of the mind.
 Sickness is call to "cofne up high CT" These hints come in various forms It may be stomach trouble, or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys, or general nervous prostration. You may depend upon it when sWhack" comes it's warning to quit some abuse and do the right and fair thing with the body.
 Perhaps it is coffee drinking that of , fends. That is one of the greatest causes of human disorder among Amer jeans.
 Now then if Mother Nature is gentle with you and only gives light, little 'whacks" at first to attract attention, ion't abuse her consideration, or she will soon hit you harder, sure.
 And you may also be sure she will tL following the way you have been doing.
 It 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 i'll will attrib- ute the trouble to bad food, malaria, overwork or 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 aay.''
 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.
 It 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 if the Postum has been boiled long enough to bring it out,
 It 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 deadening habits heed Mother Natures hints, quit being loser and become a winner. She will help you sure if you cut out the things that keep you back.
 ..sThere's a reason and a profound one.
