with knowledge of the books. but un

strong body life runs the risk Of be

of pain that serves as limitation upon

The fact that SO many men in this

May it not be accounted for on the

ware is simply thin sheet iron plated
with tin by being dipped into the mott

ter to clean the surface of iron. Dip
the iron in bath of boiling tin and
remove it enveloped in the silvery met
al to a place of cooling. In practice,
however, the process is one of the most
difficult of arts. 1t was discovered in
Holland and guarded from publicity
with the utmost vigilance for nearly
half century. England tried to dis
cover the secret in vain until James

Your Own Body.

Think deliberately of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse it. Eat nothing
that will hurt it; wear nothing that
distorts or pains it. Do not overload
it with victuals or drink or work
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad
At the first signal of danger from any
of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. Do not take cold
guard yourself against it. If you fee
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
ic treatment. Get into a fine glow OF
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you will ever have in this world
A large share of pleasure and pain o.
life will come through the use you
make Of it. Study deeply and diligent-
ly the structure OF 1t, the laws that
should govern it, the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow a violation
of every law of life or health.
