M Ohio, asks me to write an ar
vi ticle on "Wiu You Pay the
Prico?"
Although topics are standing in rows
at the box office OF my brain. waiting
tickets for expression, am glad 10
oblige Mr.. Kelsey.
His topic is suggestive in many ways.
Are you willing to pay the price for
health?
You want to be healthy and strong,
of course. and to keep young.
But are you willing to pay the price?
The price is temperate living. careful
ness in diet (neither fasting nor feast
iing) avoidance Of stimulants and drugs,
enough exercise each day to open the
pores, enough sleep each night to re-
fresh the body ana mind, control of the
passions. optimistic thoughts, cleanli-
ness, correct breathing (dcep breathing
which uses the whole lung capacity and
proper attitudes OF the body.
Persistently carried out, every hour or
every dey, these simple rules mean alb
solute health for the young and restora-
ton to health for the mature.
But are you willing to pay the price?
Means Continual Self Denial.
OF course, it means continual self
denial.
Rich food. many stimulating bevcr-
ages. late hours. and idleness are all
enjoyable for a time; for a time they
do not seem TO interfere with the health.
but eventually they destroy it. VIII
you pay the price and be well?

goal in mind
II means quiet, persistent. answering
devotion to your purpose; continual ap-
plication and absolute belief in your uI-
innate success. 1t means finding your
own balance and maintaining II through
all sorts of discoura gements, and over
coming every obstacle by your own per
sonal endeavor. It means rising up and
going on after each downfall and going
back and beginning over after each
mistake. cheerfuIly and hopefully.
That brings success after many years.
Are you willing TO pay the price?
Filled With Mad Passion.
Perhaps you are filed with mad
passion for some man or woman, one
who is not free TO belong to you.
Perhaps you say that you are willing
10 give up the world for that person.
But are you?
After you pay the price. will you not
go whining about and calling the world
cold and cruel that it does not accept
you and your common-Law mate?
VIII you not tire Of your associate
after the fever abates, and want still
another? Can you be satisfied to live
on to the end of life with this COM
panion and continually pay the price?
You may be looking forward TO what
Is called "a good time" by many young
men.
You are going to make a night Of it.
