Why Man of To-Day is Only 81
Per Cent. Efficient.

BY Walter Walgrove.
If one were to form an opinion
from the number of helpful, inspir-
ing and informing articles one sees
in the public press and magazines,
the purpose of which Is to in
crease our efficiency, he must be-
Heve that the entire American Ma
ton is striving for such and end.
And this Is so.
The American Man, because the
race is swifter every day; compe-
tition Is keener and the stronger
the man the greater his capacity
to win. The stronger the man
the stronger his will and brain,
and the stronger his ability to
match wits and win. The stronger
his confidence in himself the great
er his confidence of other people
in him; the keener his wit the
clearer his brain.
she must be competent to rear and
manage the family and home, and
take all the thought and RESPONSE
btltties from the shoulder of the
man whose preSent-day business
burdens are all that he can carry.
Now what are you doing to Sc
cure that efficiency? Much men
tally, some of us much physically,
but what Is the trouble?
We are not really efficient more
than half the time. Half the time
blue and worried - all the time
nervous - some Of the time really
incapaciated by illness.
There is a reason for this
practical reason, one that has been
known to physicians for quite a
period and will be known to the
entire World ere long.
The reason Is that the human
system does not, and will not, rid
Itself OF the waste which accumu-
lates under our present mode of
living. No matter how regular we
are, the food we eat and the seden-
tary lives We live (even though We
do get some exercise) make 1t i'm
possible; just as impossible as 1t
ls for the CRATE to a stove to
rid itself of clinkers.
And the waste does exactly what
the clinkers do to the stove; make
the fire burn low and inefficiently
until enough chnkers have accum-
ulated and then prevent 1t burn
ing at all.
1t has been our habit, aftSr this
waste has reduced our efficiency
about rs per cent, to drug our
selves, or after we have become
100 per cent. inefficient through
illness, to still further attempt to
rid ourselves of it in the same way
by drugging.
If a clock is not cleaned once in
while it clogs up and stops; the
of the residue which it, itself, &C
cumulates. To clean the clock you
would not put acid on the parts,
though you could probably find one
that would do the work, nor to
clean the engine would you force
cleaner through it that would in
1ure its parts; yet that is the
process you employ when you drug
the system to rid it of waste.
You would clean your clock and
engine with a harmless cleanser
that Nature has provided, and you
can do exactly the same for your
self as l will demonstrate before
conclude
The reason that physician
first step in illness is to purge the
system is that no medicine can
take effect nor can the system
work properly while the colon
(large intestine) is clogged up. If
the colon were not clogged up the
chances are 10 to 1 that you would
not have been i'll at all.
1t may take some time for the
clogging process to reach the stage
where 1t produces real illness, but
no matter how long it takes. while
1t Is going on the functions are not
working so as to keep US up to
"concer pitch" Our lives are
sluggish, we are dull and heavy
slight or severe headaches come
on - our sleep does not rest US
in short, we are about so per
cent. efficient.
