TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH
Mistake Most People Make Is in Wait
ing for Bad to Come and
Then coddling It.

If we would take as good care of
our good health as we do of our bad
health we would have more of the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in a draft and
let it get its feet wet; we infringe on
its sleep time and gorge it with I'M
suitable food at irregular hours. We
load it with nerve-racking cares and
duties, and reply to its frantic ap.
peals for rest with, You haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract its ears with noise and its
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, on soft
couch. We robe it in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed it with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give IL soothing draught to rest it;
and we pay a doctor two dollars to
come and leave 1t scrap of paper
and say that it will better tomorrow
One might think we preferred bad
health to good health. From an ar
ticle in Good Health.

When TO Send Children to Eur

When to Send Children to Europe.
Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is TO be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom. next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time Is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
