q IXTY- EIGHT years ago the

Union, and territory as large as

Some New Year Philosophy

"HE chief business Of the
old time philosopher was to
philosophize.
To philosophiZe as a business
is to miss the highest philosophy.
To do a certain amount of use
full work every day, and not trou-
BILE about either the past or the
future, is the highest wisdom.
The man who drags the past
behind him, and wears his future
for a hustle, spreads the present
out thin.
Go out into the woods to study
the birds: you walk and walk and
walk and see no birds. But just
sit down on a log and wait, and
10! the branches are full Of song.
Those who pursue culture never
catch up with her.
Culture takes alarm at pursuit
and avoids the stealthy pounce.
Culture is a woman, and a GER
tain amount Of Indifference wins
her. Ardent wooing will not secure
your hearts desire.
The highest philosophy consists
in keeping your health, preserv-
ing good cheer, and doing that
which is useful.
Health is the most natural
thing in the world. Nature is on
our side-she is trying to keep us
happy and well, because she
needs us in her business. When
we disobey the laws of health we
suffer; when we obey them we
are Well
And so here are a few simple
facts about health-thing which
We should all know:
Ninety-nine people out of
hundred who go to a physician
have no organic disease, but are
merely suffering from some result
of wrong living. This disability
we call a functional disorder.
Functional disorders continued
may evolve an organic disease.
Most individuals who have a
disease are suffering from the evil
effects of medication, the medi
cine having been taken to relieve
a functional disorder.
Many diseases are the result of
medication which has been pre-
scribed to relieve and take away
beneficent and warning symp-
tom on the part of nature.

Shakespeare lacked-invention-
invention in the large, including
scenes, Incidents, atmosphere,
everything. Shakespeare cribbed
his plots and stories with hardly
a single exception. He cribbed
his incidents whenever he could.
He cribbed, in many cases, at
least, the outlines and spirit of
his characters. The whole secret
of the irresistible power of Shake
speare over our minds lies in his
matchless ability to say what he
wished to say with a wealth and
fitness of verbal expression
such as no other writer ever pos
sessed. Shakespeare was the
greatest trainer and handler of
language that the world has
known. He was not a great orig

not have it,"
