Surrenderins to Weakness
Causes People to Fail.

There are few people or organizations
that ever rise to their full opportunities
In the world, simply because they sur
render to weaknesses by which they
are hedged about. Waiting for favor
able opportunity is one of the greatest
drawbacks that has to be contended
with, and while the inaction prevails
the opportunity is too often lost or
grasped by others. Too many people
believe that they cannot do anything
out of the ordinary because it would
take too much effort, and also because
they have no one to show them the
way This is where the human factor
is minimized and mighty results lost.
Man in order to fulfill his mission on
earth in proper manner must be able
to blaze new trails as well as to follow
old things in an unheard of direction
becomes leader of men and power in
the community where he lives. Too
many men surrender to their inherent
weakness and lose out in the battle of
life. What is true of the individual is
equally true of the organization, which
instead of going ahead at an opportune
time with some beneficial project gives
way to the weaker individuals which
compose it, thereby losing an oppor-
tunity to accomplish real good and be-
come a leader in community thought
and civic action. Results in any line
come from strength and decision, and
the individual or organization that fails
to take advantage of what opportunities
present themselves is falling short
of the functions which they were Gre
ated to fill in the locality where they
are working. The only way to get
ahead in any line is to take advantage
of situations as they arise and by con-
sistent and intelligent action reach the
goal that has been set in the distance
Inaction never win victories, for they
are reserved for the ones who can rec
ognize an opportunity and make their
dreams realities.

Parents-don' give that puny, ailing,

ulate for short time after each dose,
just as whiskey or morphine does, thus
making you believe it is doing real
good.

really build it up-replenish the vested
tissues-feed the Stunted, dwarfed,
puny muscles-make it lively, strong,
well-full of the animal spirits children
are meant by nature to have. Give il

TUBERCULOSIS DAY
A Proclamation by Governor
Woodbridge N. Ferris.

Good health is an asset. The laws OF
health are as much Gods laws as are
the ten commandments. The ravages
of the White Plague surpass the raw
ages of war. Intelligent concerted eff
fort on the part of the American people
would in few generations extermin-
ate this plague. 1t is humane to use
all possible means to relieve the afflict-
ed and protect those who are constitu-
tionally weak.
If, however, it is imperative that
tuberculosis patients have an abund-
ance Of pure air and sunshine, syste-
matte "out door" exercise, nourishing
food and pleasant surroundings, how
immensely important is it that all who
are afflicted have the benefit of these
agencies in order that we may event
ually have people who are immune.
The truth of the matter is, there ex-
lists superstitious fear in relation to
pure air, especially in living and sleep
ing rooms, a fear Of disastrous conse-
quences from "out door" living. Let
the evangels of rational living not relax
their efforts in teaching the people
how to avoid the contagion of tuber-
culosis but at the same time let them
teach well people" how to acquire
the physical vigor that resists tuber-
culosis and at the same time resisls all
other diseases.
Therefore, |, Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Governor of the State of Michigan,
urge the observance of Sunday, Deem
Der the 9TH, as tuberculosis Day.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of Michigan, this nine
teenth day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and thirteen, and of the Common
wealth the seventy-seventh
