shown, the body protects itself a.

heat produced in the body; against
hot weather by decreasing the heat
production to the minimum and by
cooling the body with perspiration.
Even under normal conditions of food
utilization, poisons are being con-
stantly formed in the body, and these
are vastly increased by digestive dis
turbances. Except where there is
considerable poisoning from undigest-
ed, unused food in the stomach and
bowels, the body readily destroys these
poisons before they have time to in

Remarkable Defense for Germs.
The body under proper conditions
of food and care, possesses remark
able system of defense against our
microscopic enemies, the germs.
When in tact, the skin, and in most
cases the mucous membranes, consti-
tute an impenetrable barrier against
germs. The surgeon daily comes in
bodily contact with the most virulent
germs but is never harmed unless the
skin is broken. With this exception
the only places through which germs
can enter the body are it's various orr
fees, it's openings into the outside
world. Here, again, these openings,
for the most part, are guarded by Sc
cretions, which under normal condi-
tons of nutrition are antiseptic,-
germ destroying. Nature has made
unusual effort to protect the body
against the most likely means by
which germs may enter the body, Wig:
the food. The gastric juice in the
stomach, under normal conditions,
from the time the baby is ready for
food other than mothers milk, con-
tains mineral acid in sufficient
strength to kill disease-producing
germs. 1t is only when food is taken
in quantities so large as to dilute the
gastric juice sufficiently to make it
Intellectual, that germs can live in the
stomach and can find their way into
other parts of the body. No one ever
contracted typhoid fever from infect
ed milk who did not eat more food
than his gastric juice could render
sterile and digest.
Blood Also Means of Defense.
Another means of defense Is the
blood. Under normal conditions of
nutrition the blood is strongly aka
line, which in itself Is decidedly un-
favorable to germ growth. Further
more, the blood contains, even in

Smile, and the world smiles with you;
KNOCK" and you go it alone;
For the cheerful grin will let you in
Where the kicker is never known.
Growl, and the way looks dreary,
Laugh and the path is bright;
For welcome smile brings sunshine,
while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh, and you "rake in" nothing;
Work, and the prize is won;
For the "nervy" man with backbone
can
By nothing be outdone.

And say, St. Peter, it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be.
You ought to stand right by the opening there
And never sit down in that easy chair.
And say st. Peter, my sight is dimmed,
But don't like the way your whiskers are trimmed
They're cut too wide, and outward toss,
They'd look better narrow, cut straight across
Well we must be going crowns to win,
SO open st. Peter, and we'll pass in"
st. Peter sat quiet and stroked his staff
But, in spite of his office, he had to laugh
Then said, with fiery CLEAN in his eye
who's tending this gateway-you or II"
And then he arose in stature tall,
And pressed button upon the wall,
And said to the imp who answered the bell
Escort this lady around TO hell"
The man stood still as piece of stone
Stood sadly gloomily there alone.
A lifelong, settled idea he had
That his wife was good and he was bad.
He thought If the woman went down below
That he would certainly have to GO
That If she went to the regions dim
There wasn't ghost of a show for him.
Slowly he turned, by habit bent,
To follow wherever the woman went
st. Peter standing on duty there,
Observed that the top of his head was bare.
He called the gentleman back and sad
Friend, how long have you been wed?"
Thirty years" with weary sigh.
And then he thoughtfully added: Why?"
st. Peter was silent. With head bent down,
He raised his hands and scratched his crown.
Then seeming different thought to take,
Slowly, half to himself, he spake
Thirty years with that woman there?
No wonder the man has lost his hairl
Swearing is wicked. Smokng's not good.
He smoked and swore--I should think he would!
Thirty years with that tongue sharp?
Hol Angel Gabriel! Give him harp
A jeweled harp with golden string!
Good sir, pass in where the angels sing!
Gabriel, give him seat alone
One with cushion--up the throne!
Call up some angles to play their BEST
Let him enjoy the music and rest!
See that on finest ambrosia he feeds;
He's had about all the hell he needs,
It isn't Just hardly the thing to do,
To roast him earth and the future, too
They gave him harp with golden strings,
A gittering robe, and pair of wings
And he said As he entered the Realm of Day:
'Well, this BEATS cucumbers, apywayo
Aud So ~ sNsnilesr 1 nave come to pass

St. PETER AT THE GATE
iBy Joseph Bert smilevl

St Peter stood guard at the golden
With solemn mien and an air sedate
When up to the top of the golden stair
man and woman ascending there,
Applied for admission. They came and stood
Before ST. Peter, so great and good
In hopes the City of Peace to win
And asked St. Peter to let them In.
The woman tall, and lank, and thin,
With scraggy beardet upon her chin i@
The man was short, and thick, and stout, -. II
His stomach was built SO It rounded out; SS't z
His face was pleasant and all the while x
He wore kindly and genial smile. 4
The choirs in the distance the echoes woke,
And the man kept still while the woman spoke:
o thou who euardest the gatel" said she,
eve two come hther, beseeching thee
To let enter the heavenly land
And play harps with the angel band
OF me, st. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar me out
I've been to meetings three times week,
And almost always I'd rise and speak.
I've told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent Of their evil way.
I've told my neighbors-Tve told them all -
Bout Adam and Eve, and the Primal Fall. -
I've shown them what they'd have to do :
If they'd pass in with the chosen few; -
I've marked their path Of duty clear
Laid out the plans for their whole career
I've talked and talked to EN- loud and long,
For my lungs good and my voice is strong, =
So, good st Peter, you'll clearly .
The gate of heaven is open to me. :.
But my old man, regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow way =
He smokes and swears, and grave faults he's got, =
And don't know whether he'll pass or not y
"He would pray with earnest vim, =
Or go to revivals or join in hymn,
So had to leave him in sorrow there
While I, with the chosen, united in prayer.
He ate what the pantry CHANGED to afford,
While in my purity, sang to the Lord. e. y
And if cucumbers were all he got, "
It's chance if he rnerited them not.
"But, st. Peter love him so,
To the pleasures of heaven please let him go!
I've done enough---a saint I've been.
Won't that atone? Can't you let him in? ~

Appetite Regulates Food Supply.

The body is self-regulating ma
chine. Under normal habits of eat
ing it regulates through the appetite
the intake of the food in both amount
and kind to meet the daily needs. The
harder we exercise, the faster the
heart beats to send the blood with
fuel and oxygen to the active muscles
and the faster we breathe to supply
the blood with oxygen. When we
have worked sufficiently to tire either
the muscles or the brain, the body tells
us to rest that it may have the oppor-
tunity to recuperate the tired organs
and replenish the food supply. The
body keeps constant at all times the
amount of blood in the body, the pres
sure of blood in the vessels and the
amount of oxygen and food materials
that the blood carries. When we
keep the skin active, the body, thru
the nerve terminals in the skin, reg
ulates the burning Of food in the body
and keeps the body constantly at the
same temperature. When the out
side air is cold, more heat is manu-
featured in the body; when it is
warm, less heat is produced. When
the body is excessively warm the
pores are opened and the body is
bathed in perspiration to keep 1t cool.
The body regulates the vital process
81 sfo ,.aaIa
Body Replaces its Worn Tissues.
The body is a self-repairing ma
chine. Until the decay of old age
begins, from the food which it digests
the body replaces the various tissues
as they wear out. The body repairs
various injuries<sA broken bone un-
der proper treatment and with good
food conditions in the body, will be
repaired and made stronger that be-
fore the injury. Skin and flesh
wounds, under good nutritive condi-
tions, heal rapidly. AS much of the
tissue is replaced when an organ or a
part of the body becomes disabled or
destroyed, the body makes every eff
fort to compensate for the loss. If
the larger of the bones of the lower
leg becomes diseased or is lost by an
operation, the smaller bone will en-
large to bear the weight of the>body.
If one kidney is removed, the other
one enlarges to take up the work of
both. Likewise, as one lung falls a
prey to disease the other lung en-
larges. When a valve of the heart
is partly destroyed the heart eniarg-
es, often multiplying its power sew
eral times, in order to maintain the
circulation, in spite of the defect.
Thus, throughout the body, we see

PROPER FOOD AND
CARE OF BODY
Wise Provisions of Nature When
Not Overthrow by I'm
wise Interference.
HEALTH is OUR GREAT
NATURAL INHERITANCE
Over Eating is the Cause Of Many
of our Human Ills--Narcotics
Are Also Bad.

Proper food and care are the essen
tails necessary to make the human
machine perate perfectly.
Health Is the Natural state of Man.
Health may be defined as that con-
dition of the body which exists when
all Of the organs perform their work
properly. Health is the natural, nor
NAL state; disease is unnatural, alb
normal. Nature intended that evry-
one should have perfect health.
Furthermore, as far as it is possible to
do so, she has provided for such a
condition. The body is the most per-
feet machine of which we know. In
fact, it is more than an intricate, deli
cate, perfect machine; it is self
repairing machine.
Human Body Regulates Own Working
We all know that the body is self
sustaining machine. Under proper
conditions of diet the body takes
variety of foods and puts them
through the chemical process of di-
gestion, by which they are converted
into few simple food materials which
are used in the body as fuel and as
building material. Under normal
habits of eating the powers of digest
ion is amply sufficient to digest the
amount of food necessary for the
body's needs. The quantity of the
digestive fluids manufactured from
day to day is in direct proportion to
the amount of food needed by the
body. When you are doing but lit
tie work or your health standard is
low, the body is using up but little
food and there is a corresponding di-.
minution in the digestive fluids. At
the same time, unless you whip up
your appetite with drugs or too much
food, there is corresponding lessen
ing in the desire for food. Thus, un-
der proper food conditions, the body
furnishes itself with the right amount
both of it's fuel and of the material
needed for replacing it's parts as they

the American Speciality Manufacture
er's Association were urged at the
opening session today to take advant-
age of the opportunities to develop
trade with South America. The Euro

to obtain the trade in Latin-American
countries formerly held by Germany.
William A. Reed, of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union, read a cablegram from Ar
gentina which said the South Ameri-
can republics were eager to have man
ufacturers of this country trade with
them. The cablegram stated that COM

and asked that the United States ship
cargoes of naphtha, wood, iron, furni-
ture, agricultural implements and the
same vessels could return with meat,
wool, hides, livestock, and minerals.
