dienees since going on the lecture
platform. and makes some practical
talks. In a recent lecture in Salt
Lake he spoke Of the foods Of the
present day. their authorizations and
the lack of nourishment contained.
and told Of the results of this as
pertaining TO the health Of the peo-
pie. He said the children Of the
nation were being starved to death
because OF lack of nourishment. the
rich as vel as the poor through
ignorance.
The distinguished speaker said IN
part:
Il viii begin by asking you what
do you consider the greatest wealth?
They may foreelose the mortgage
on your farm and you may eventual
~ get another; our factory may be
burned down and you may build an
other; as a merchant 0 may be
come bankrupt. start oyer and re-
coup; you may fail as a physician in
one city, 90 TO another and succeed;
your congregation may not be pleas
ed with you as a preacher and you
might 90 elsewhere, preach and be
acceptable; your wife may die and
of the husband whose wife died and
he was terribly grieyed. He erected
a ~headstone at her grave and had
these words inscribed. The light OF
my life has gone out. But in a year
he was married again and under
those tender words OF affection and
remembrance a village wag added.
But he has struck another match
So the light Of your life might 90
out. but you can strike another
match. But the answer to this ques-
ton Is health and life. When you
have lost your life, not merely the
light of II, your can't get it back.
My idea of conservation of wealth is
not in the boarding of ii. but in the
wise use OF wealth, ! do not believe
the coal should be kept un-
mined; | don't want 10 go through
life with cold feet and have my son
come after and keep his warm.
There is no kind of wealth so
wasted and to which We pay 50
little attention as health. The farmer
will keep check on his products and
possessions; the physician will count
his fees, the merchant his profits,
and ever the preacher will count his
salary to see how much the congre-
cation still owes him, but little ac-
count of health is kept until it is
feeting or gone. Hetty Green counted
her wealth on holidays. On Wash
ington's birthday she ate onions for
breakfast to keep the reporters away,
but it takes more than onions to keep
reporters away.
Il know of but one school in the
country where health figures in the
marks of students. That is the Mar
garet Morrison school in Pittsburgh,
founded by Andrew Carnegie In
honor of his mother. When a girl
applies for admittance she must an
dergo a physical examination. II she
Is sound she is given the mark of
100. If she loses health thereafter
she is given dement's. If when she
enters she receives rs and improves
in health she is given merits, so that
a girl may enter at 75-I do not
mean rs years of age-and leave at
100. | would as o pick a wife in
that school as | would order a meal
at the Waldrof-Astoria; there are SO
many good things that | would wind
up by eating bacon and eggs.
THE proper environments should
be provided for those who have been
born. Two boys were born twins in
Ohio. One went to Michigan and
made his home; the other went TO
Louisiana. When the Civil war broke
out one of these boys enlisted in the
Union army and the other was a
Confederate soldier, SO strong vas
the force of environment.
AT B%rockton, Mass, ] found them
manufacturing shoes. | met one of
the manufacturers.
why do you adulterate your sole
leather with glucose? ! asked. He
~hesitated. He was preparing to lie.
You know what is said of a lie. A
lie Is an ~abomination TO the Lord and
a very pleasant help in time of need.
Did you ever notice that you always
hesitate when you are going to lie?
He said 4 put 1t In SO the poor can
buy shoes Wonderful philanthro-
by! Glucose costs 2 cents a pound.
