Happiness is the birthtight and the duty of
every man and woman.
We must take hard knocks with laugh in order
to conquer them.
Health hinges directly on the mental attitude.
In just the same degree this rule works both
ways. bad liver means bad temper.
Chronic constipation often causes chronic rheu-
matism, and that means a chronic Crouch.
"Cheerfulness is the first station on
the royal road to success in business
life or social affairs said the Cooper
stomach man" yesterday. Cooper is
the fastener who has stirred a storm
OF comment in the bay cities by his
unusual theories in health matters. He
caused by nothing but stomach trouble.
Continuing. he crisply expounded his
opinions as follows:
Happiness Is the birthright and duty
of every man and woman. Not only
does it pay greater dividends than any
other investment, but ii is absolutely
necessary in our dealings with other
people in order TO perform our full OBJ
legations to ourselves. We must smile
to retain the respect of the world and
to win new friends. We must take
hard knocks with a laugh in order to
conquer them. We must meet the
petty veXations of social affairs and
domestic life with good humor. or we
are defaulting in the debt we owe our
Creator.
Health hinges directly on our men,
tai attitude. Bad temper, wrong
thoughts, jealousy, envy or too much
self-pity result in disordered liver,
bad blood, headaches and nervous irri-
liability. We become soured toward
the world, face it with a glum gaze
and the world in the persons of our
friends and associates is sure to return
the sour looks, ugly glare for ugly
glare-with a little added venom.
In just the same degree this rule
works both ways. If our physical
bodies get out of order a mental re-
action is sure to follow. Overeating
and too little outdoor exercise is the
curse of our modern civilization. We
stuff our bodies with all the food we
can eat, with no regard to the de-
mands to be put on the physical system.
The man who works indoors all day.
and the tight corseted woman whose
principal task is homework or social
affairs, think they must eat as much as
When the stomach is overloaded.
the digestive machinery gets clogged
and won't work and all kinds of dis
eases follow. A bad liver means a
bad temper. A brace of balky kidneys
means a gloomy outlook on everything.
Impure blood causes headaches, wrecks
our mental poise and peace of mind
and makes us hate our neighbor.
Chronic constipation often causes
chronic rheumatism, and that means a
chronic Crouch
