."SeIf Preservation of the Body. y.
In the first place. to preserve our
podies we should dress according to
the season. Clothing should be thin in
warm weather, and not enough cloth
ing or underwear Is harmful during
the time that we need it. We would
not be heir to as many aches and
pains If We would pay, strict attention
to ourselves along this line.
We should take bath daily OF olive
oil soap and take time to finish with
q towel wrung out of cold water Dub
the body thoroughly all over with this
in order that pores of skin be closed,
then colds are not easily contracted
Few people take time to do this. After
taking a warm bath the pores are open
and should be closed before going out
into the air. We should never neglect
this bath, as all the impurities Of the
body pass through the pores.
/ Ihe Inside Body.
The teeth should be brushed twice
daily, as this toughens the gums and
stops poisons.
By overlooking the stomach a habit
which we are all apt to do sometimes,
more or less, causes Infection,
apoplexy, heart disease, liver, kidneys
and spleen all are overworked. Thus
we are unwillingly poisoning our
Selves, robbing ourselves of the health
God has given us.
For instance, certain man will go
to the table. eat improperly with the
whir1 of dollars In his head, will ask
hurried blessing and perhaps get
angry at wife about some trivial matt
ter.
BY eating hurriedly he harms HIM
self. Stop him If you can, tell him
jokes. Even a pleasant smile Is worth
q whole lot to him.
No business or sorrow should be
brought to the table. Make the meal
hour the merriest hour of the day, as
this takes the blood away from the
brain and makes the stomach work.
I'VE csn form some idea Of how
Rockefeller vali.ts his digestion, At
one time he offered "a man 81, ,000, 600
10 cure him sof9 q bad digestion.
eiti:N Indigestion s.,. "a,
. In order to digest our food properly,
1t is important that we masticate our
food thoroughly. The food should be
cooked well, or would be likely to
produce abseess OF !.s.fsr. cancer. eft.
Also big biscuits are bad. Small bis
cults are much better to digest. Bad
cooked dumplings is another. also pie
crust Is barely ever cooked done
enough to be eaten.
Take care to not eat too much. IL
you eat too much at one meal, try do
ing without at the next one.
Constipation.
It is believed that from 65 to 85 per
cent Of the people suffer from consti-
patton. There is NO doubt that must
all diseases start from this.
Invalids suffer most from 1t. It be-
gins as habit and ends in q disease.
There should be a fixed time for all
things. For instance, every morning
Is the time to relieve the body Of these
wastes.
This caueo. though can easily be
remedfed. IA stitch, In time saves

Most physicians; will tell you also
dentists, that 1t is much easier to rem-
edy q disease before 1t becomes
chronic, and as ] said before. go to the
doctor. hunt the cause and clean up
and keep clean. ,.3 A
