 The latest theory of science is op- posed to a common belief that some people are born we'll and others born | ill The babe in the hut and the babe in the palace each arrives In the world with q certain capital stock on cept this or deny 1t. the probability Is that most of us could keep well after childhood # only we knew how. We play with our health as boy plays | at marbles. We take risks, we do foolish things. we leave undone things
 that we plainly ought to do, Every, body has seen. for instance, the fraii l tenure of life held by an invalid wno l. ia always looking out and protecting herself from peril: such an inVaho often outlives cafe-takers who are
 strong and neighbors who are over | flowing with robust vitality we nave seen. too, man of active tempera- ment brisk and impuisIve and full of
 business. have marked him as one who haa long life before him. and nave presently been mortified when he faiIs exhausted by the way. He dio not know how to keep well.
 The art of keeping we'll is worth studying. It's principles are very sirn- pie Nothing particularly occult or particularly puzz1ing belongs to It, 1 They who wish to keep well must be- ware not of draugftss not of fresh ar.
 not of sunshine. or rain. but prlmhrns must avoid too great fatigue The nor health is able to endure certain amount of strain and to carry cer- tain amount of weight.

 much that in the end causes weariness | of mind and body and makes person

 woman are an easy prey 70 the maleV- nient germs that are forever flying about the world, seeking whom they may devour When these germs find | fndginw fin the tisaues of perfectly healthy person. they are often ren- dered innocuous by the energy with
 which the good germs fight them. ln tired person the good germs are in allowance and cannot make stand-up fight

 and you won't take cofh.
 Another prescription for Keeping we'll Is eliminate worry. Worried peo- ple are very seldom well people. Wor- ry frets mind and body as moth frefs l the fabric of beautiful garment.
 Worry corrodes the soul as rust cor rodes metal. From all sides comes the protest. it ia easy enough to say
