HEALTH AND EFFICIENCY

11CAAll1 AMI II I1O1u4Ox
Are you strong rugged man, cap
able of doing full days work.
And, how about the wife and your
sons and daughters? Are they all
rugged and robust, able to do their
allotted task each day eat their share
of good wholesome food and enjoy
their share of good wholesome fun
and frolic and happiness? Yes,
these are just as necessary, more so,
than the work. Without them what's
the use Of the work; aside from the
necessary daily food and sufficient
protection from the elements.
If you and your family are Of the
glum, sour variety and never take
time nor care to have fun and frolic,
I would advise you to 60 to the trop-
les where all you have to do in orler
to exist is to pick and eat your daily
food.
Without happiness, you only exis$,
you are Of but little value to youc-
self and less to your neighbors. Yes,
I mean it, you ugly old crouch, and if
you want to prove that you are not
past all redemption, just try a smile
several times daily. Careful, don't
break your face, it isn't used to any,
thing but a scowl and a hearty laugh
might crack it. Do something for
somebody that don't expect it of you,
in some way that you never expect
to be rewarded or have them do
something for you. What a wonder
full sensation comes over one with
the consciousness Of a good deed
we'll done.
A man, a wife, a son or daughter,
is not capable Of doing the best kind
of work or of enjoying life as it
should be enjoyed, unless in good
health. It is fact that blind people
are nearly always cheerful and many
people who appear to be hopeless in
valids are a source Of perpetual in
SEPARATION to their legions Of friends.
They are unselfsh and radiate hap
piness, but efficiency from the physi-
cal standpoint is impossible.
1 know many families who have
naturally good constitutions, good
blood back of them, plenty of energy
and good training, but something is
always wrong. The whole family is
never we'll at the same time. Occa-
sionally two or three members are
laid up at the same time and their
bills for medicines and for the visits
Of the doctor are enormous. They
lose a horse, a COW, a few hogs and
lots Of chickens every year and they
cannot understand why they have
such luck, as they call it. l call it
by another name, however. Let me
tell you about just one case this time
I was called to Penna, in consulta-
ton. The oldest daughter had been
i'll for several months. Did not re-
spond to the usual treatments and
the family physician was doing his
best. I found her in a big comfort
able rooms, yes, it was we'll ventilat-
ed and the diet was just what
would have ordered. They had beer
reading my Home Health Club arti-
cles for a long time and the family
physician approved of all they were
doing themselves. 1t only took few
moments to satisfy me that his dag.
nosis was correct and that his treat
ment was excellent, but, why did sh'
not improve. I must find the cause
The home was fine big house, al
the rooms we're big and had plent.
Of windows, they were open, too, al
over the house. I asked to see tn
cellar. The father and brother O.
the young woman looked at one an
other with sickly grin and the faith
