Union academy in 1857, 81 years ago,
was pitching on hay and the old man, the
owner OF the farm, came into the bayfield,
and said he didn't want his men to hurry,

A friend Of mine went to Michigan TO
Sanitarium to get cured of rheumatism
and the first thing the doctors said to
him after taking him into a hot room,
ave will give you a good sweat" Begin
ming TO be frightened, he said, "Why,
have not sweat for 80 years." He was
told that il he had worked and sweat and
washed of the poison that the skin
helps throw out Of the system he would
not have been all tied up with rheuma-
tism; and they did sweat him aud cured

take a sweat nor to any hot springs out
side Of my own home for the much
needed bath. The common, unexpen-
sive, nearby remedies are usually the
best. Elisha told Naman to wash right

but this seemed too easy. He thought at
first that he would try some water not so
near. We would say, some OF US, we will
try some specialist. Your remedy, Mr.

ruler needed was faith and when he was
persuaded to try the simple remedy he
was healed.
heard Of a wealthy Englishman who
was out OF tx and didn't wish to work
so he vent to his doctor who looked him
over and saw there was not much the
matter but that he needed exercise and a
good sweat. He told him he must ride
horseback and that would fix him all
right. So he goes to the stable and hires
a saddle horse at 81 an hour. This he
found rather expensive. Being of an
economical and inventive turn OF mind he
took his exercise in less expensive way,
and the doctor did not see him out riding
after the first day. A few days after he
met his patient on the street and says,
g How is this / thought you said you
would ride horseback every day. You
must keep 1t up; the one day you rode
did you lot of good; you are looking
much better. 1t was right, it was Just
what you needed.' eyes, doctor, but il
was too expensiye; have found better
way. II cost me 81 an hour to ride and 1
can hire man to kick me for 81 a day,
and it has the same effect" He got his
Earring for less money. Most of us are
too tired to take the required exercise.
We are not willing to pay the price of
good health and a long and vigorous life.
'Too many are like the poor sick man,
weak in body and will. His doctor told |
him be must exercise; told him true, that
I he would saw wood it would be the
best thing he could do to recover his |
health. So be bought some wood, and |
bought saw and sawhorse, took of his |
coat and collar and went out and sawed |

back into the house and told his wife he |
would rather die. Any one with such |
IDEAS OF life and life's work better not |

You must love your work in order to get |

work. is hard. 1t ceases to be hard II you
ike it. | hope you will keep in mind, as
have said before, that most of these sug-
gestions are for students, professional
men, men Of leisure, men who work in
'ffices and indoors, those not Obliged to
work at manual labor for an existence,
uggestions for those that are more or

Iress we'll, keep clean and pressntable.

% the duties, pay the price. Eternal
igilance is the price of success, also of
God health. Another very important
hing about this exercise is the great re-
urns for small outlay. The man with
MUSCLE and healthnis very different per-
on from the man without either. In the
rst condition life is worth living; in the
acond there may be a question. This
annot be overstated. II you had a

Tould exercise him faithfully; not too
luch at one time and then not enough at
mother time; you would be careful what
GU fed him; you would think Of him,
alue him, be interested in him. You

One other help besides work is cheer
ulness. Make the best OF what you can
OF help is good philosophy and not very
ad religion. Do not worry; do not
