HE CLOSED THE DOOR.

John was an iceman. For years he
had driven his wagon along the city
boulevards and through the back al
leys. He was a strong, husky fellow,
popular with the boss and with his Gus
toners. He was accommodating, and
his ringing Good morning" was al
ways welcome. He was ambitious, but
didn't know it; was satisfied because
over his horizon little had arisen save
a horse and an ice cart.
Among his customers was a multi
millionaire. the president of a bank
and the owner of the largest factory
in the city. The basement door was
located under his library. Every morn
ing this man of business sat before
the open window, or before the glow
ing CRATE, and read his morning paper.
Old as he was, busy as he always had
been. his eye had not lost its power of
penetration or his ear its acuteness.
He saw and he heard more than most
men.
The grocery boys, the market men,
and others delivered their goods below
his window, and every one, save the
iceman, slammed the door when he
went out; but John always closed il
softly.
One day, as John was leaving, the
millionaire poked his head out of the
window and exclaimed: Say, you
man, why don't you slam the doors
like the other fellows?"
John was confused for a moment,
then he pulled himself together and
replied:

HEALTH AND SALARY.

Good health is not always gift of
nature. Like other commodities. it
may be acquired or earned
Seyenty-five per cent Of our ailments
are self-made or self-induced.
Nature intended to start US in health
and to keep US well, and most of US
can have the health we want if 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. 1t is it's province to
make money, and it cannot. under pres
ent conditions, tolerate either indif-
ference. tneffieiency, incapacity, or i'll
health 1t demands the best there is
In US If we would succeed.
II one cannot meet business require
ments in the main. it 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, If
you can, as it is to be on time at the
office in the morning and to work faith
fully during the business day.
Your employer has a right to de-
mand health of you, as well as faith
fulness While he may sympathize
with you If 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 normal success
of business unless you are normal both
physically and mentally; your brain
cannot do its full work unless it is
supported by healthy body, and your
body cannot be in good condition IN
less it is 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.
self and your employer as much as
you would be doing if you deliberately
cast your savings into the sea or
emptied his cash drawer.
Your body has been given you as a
sacred heritage. 1t 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; If 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 would the family jewels or the
savings of your lifetime. You can lose
money and regain it. If you lose your
health, you may not be able to find it,

the plain truth is you hardly get enough

the cost of cooking. This is true of thin
