 I believe, said he, the Bible tells us just what God wants us to know Chil- dren have a better chance to reach 40 today than 50 years ago. But the man of 40 has far less chance of reaching 50 or SO today than then. Men do not follow right methods of living. What Is the difference in moral responsibility of the man who commits suicide with pistol at 50 or lives so recklessly as to die at that time. because he has need lessly dissipated his strength? The doctor showed charts of the human body and explained its cellular struc- ture, that the cells of different tissues differ in structure. He dwelt upon the delicacy of the eye and the important function of the liver in extracting poiSons which may get into the sys- tenn. He explained that auto-intoxica- tion of the body was caused by over eating or eating wrong things, which poison the system. 1t is well to have the doctors certificate precede the marriage certificate, but it is far better to teach the girls how to cook 8 good meal, because there are more ruined stomachs that bring disaster simply because the girls learn how to wear high -heeled shoes and tight dresses in- stead of learning things of absolute importance.
