Of course, there's reason for this.
Or, perhaps, putting 1t in the plu-
| raj there are various reasons for it.
I've already suggested, in a former
talk, what seems to me one explana-
ton for the physical troubles of coun-
try people: They don't take advan-
tage of the Incompatible opportunities
for health which their environment
supplies. They dig their wells to
catch surface drainage from MANFRED
fields or gardens: they let their cellars
fill with decaying waste and seepage
to breed noxious miasms; they shut
their windows in Natures face. when
she is trying to give them good air
The city man is more apt to use fully
the limited opportunities for health
which his surroundings afford. He
has a poorer chance, but he makes
more Of it. Then, too, think that the
medicine habit is less general and
therefore, less harmful. in town than
in country. Of course, there are drug
fiends" on the streets as well as along
country roads. But the old fashioned
idea Of taking medicine to keep well
or as a sort of substitute for sanitary
living, fiourishes in the country more
than in the city. I think And drug
taking as daily business, is u mighty
poor profession for anybody. OF
course, when one is sick he may need
drugs; just as when he has leg
crushed, he may need the surgeons
knife. But nobody thinks Of having a
good leg cut off, for fear it might get
smashed under a car wheel And TAX
ing strong drugs when one Is well. for
fear he or she may become sick. is
just about as unreasonable and silly.

Can you tell me why this should

Years ago l remember having seen
a picture in one OF the funny papers
go representing two brothers. The
one had stayed on the farm; the other
had gone to the city. At twenty they
had probably looked about as much
Glike as brothers are apt to: at sew
enty the city banker was plump, ru-
bicund, straight, clean-shaven and
trinity dressed, while the rural farm
er was thin cadaverous, bent, shaggy
and in old clothes with fearfUlly bag
kneed trousers
Manifestly this Photograph did not
represent their feelings and condition,
mental or physical; it didn't tell
whether the farmer had a good appe-
tite and slept well O. nights, nor
whether the banker had to live on
toast and tea and sleeping potions.
The picture told how they looked, on
ly; what impress their lives has left
or their outsides. And, certainly, so
far as this went. it was quite clear
that the farmer had had a great deal
che hardest time OF it.

the stork was standing alone on one

in his ear that I wanted him to bring

say anything. but knew he would do
It, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye."
