HEALTH AND SALARY.

Good health is not always a gift OF
nature. Like other commodities. 1t
may be acquired or earned,
SeVenty-fve per cent of our ailments
are self-made or self-lnduced.
Nature intended to start us In health
and to keep us well, and most Of us
can have the health we want II we
will. unless we are prenatally handi-
capped.
Nature does her part, is forever CIV
ing US health, and attempting to dispel
disorder. But nature alone can no
more guarantee good health than can
glassware insure itself against break.
age.
Business has not time or inclination
for sympathy. It is its province to
make money, and 1t cannot, under pres
emit conditions, tolerate either indif-
ference. ineficlency. incapacity, or Ill
health. 1t demands the best there is
in US II we would succeed
II one cannot meet business require
ments in the main, 1t will have nothing
to do with him, and will relegate him
to the scrap heap. 1t Is Just as much
your duty to keep In good health, II
you can, as 1t is to be on time at the
office in the morning and to work faith
fully during the business day.
Your employer has right to de-
mand health of you, as well as faith.
fulness. While he may sympathize
with you II you are suffering from
some ailment for which you may or
may not be responsible, he cannot de-
pend upon you, or promote you, or
give You full opportunity unless your
physical condition is UP to normal or
strong enough to permit you to do your
duty with fair degree of efficiency.
Statistics show that poor health is
second only to dissipation and extrava-
gance as the cause Of commercial dis
aster.
The physically weak man who takes
care Of himself Is often better able to
work than Is one OF robust health who
Is dissipated. extravagant. Indifferent
and careless.
You cannot make a normal success
Of business unless you are normal both
physically and mentally: your brain
cannot do its full work unless 1t Is
supported by healthy body. and your
body cannot be In good condition I'M
less II il given as good care as that
bestowed upon the heartless engine or
the nerveless loom.
Late hours, overeating, lack of exer-
else. and every form OF mild or other
dissipation predisposes one to physical
downfall, resulting In mental inca
pacity and in the inability to accom-
plish.
To abuse your body is robblng your
self and your employer as much as
you would be doing II you deliberately
cast your savings into the sea or
emptied his cash drawer.
Your body has been given you as a
sacred heritage. II has been placed in
your care and you will be held re-
sponsible for 1t.
Health stands for comfort, pleasure,
peace Of mind. and prosperity.
II you are strong, keep yourself
strong: II you are weak, take all the
more care of yourself. Look upon
your body as not mere physical as.
set. but as an investment, to be hus-
banded and to be protected more than
you world the family jewels or the
savings of your lifetime. You can lose
money and regain 1t. II you lose your
health. you may not be able to find 1t.

Warning to Farmers.

What may be the means OF saving
the farmers over the state of hun
dreds of dollars-perhaps thousands
is the warning sounded by R. H. Muir
ply Of the division of extension of the
University of Tennessee. He urges
the farmers to beware Of tricky
agents." who go over the state with
''the best silo made" for sale, and with
other schemes for buying live stock.
He says that many farmers have been
deceived by such artists" when, with
a little vision of extension, such mis-.
takes could have been avoided.
The experts in the division Of ex
tension of the University of Tennes-
see are rendering valuable aid to the
farmers over the state. and will gladly
furnish information and assistance In
selecting silos and in the selection Of
suitable breeds of pure-bred live stock
to meet the needs of the farmers.

Issue Christmas Fire Warning.

The state department of fire pre-
vention has issued a warning to the
public in regard to the careless use of
explosives during the Christmas holt
days. In other words, the department
invokes safe and sane celebration.
Some of the rules asked to be OBJ
served are:
do not use cotton to represent
snow. II you must have snow, use as
bestos fiber or mineral wood.
do not allow trees to remain in
buildings after holidays; they are
dangerous when they become dry.
do not hang celluloid presents on
trees; they will explode when heated.
Avoid other combustible presents, such
as lace or embroidery, close to lights.
do not give mechanical toys to
children that require alcohol, gasoline,
or other combustible oil, to operate.
You may be the cause of a horrible
death to one you love dearly by SO do
ing.
Where are you going TO put the
boxes, excelsior and other inflamma-
BILE packing material that comes With
Christmas presents?"
