Measure Your Words
ny LILLIAN RUSSELL

There is an old saying that you
should think twice before speaking.
and II Is IL snsc bit of advice. Rut
you really ought TO make an earlier
start If !, Is your desire. as It should
be. to say the right thing 1T the right
time. IL YOU do not take this pre-
caution, 1t will be difficult for you to
think twice before the word is spoken
and even then the second though; may
not prevent the utterance which will
cause regret or trouble.
IL you sleep In n stuny or poorly
ventilated room you Will quite likely
say something at the breakfast table
which you would never dream of say
ing II you had spent the night brea tn
ing fresh air. After sleeping under
such conditions you are not in IA frame
OF mind to care much whether you say
the right or the wrong thing, and so
others become the victims OF your irri-
tatcd nature.
If YOU have not adopted the proper
diet you are also likely to ignore the
advice TO give each word n double
thought, and you may even be in such
an ugly humor that YOU will be indif-
fcrent To what YOU say or even take
delight in using your tongue to cut
and hurt others.
You may notice that IL before rctir-
ScStiblc dishes In which some people
seem TO take special delight. YOU in
variabiy dream-if YOU are fortunate
enough to lose consciousness in sleep.
Such dreams are generally OF an ugly
character and are classed as night
mares
Now. Isn't it quite reasonable to as
sumo that what you eat has a great
deal TO do with the nature OF your
thoughts, whether awake or asleep?
IL your brain work Is governed by your
diet Your tongue Will act accordingly.
You cannot get away from the fact
that there Is close relation between
your physical and mental condition. If
your physical condition becomes either
abnormal or subnormal through the life
YOU lead. you had better make 1, a
practice 10 think more than twice be-
fore speaking.
BY way Of the tongue and brain Won

OF your physical condition. or ;hcy may
just characterize you as a disasreeahl.

your apparently mean disposition.
