stay but before settling down, he cast his eye
around, with the result that the same day saw
the whole party aboard his private car making

The Sepsis of Hidden Things

A family is judged by its back yard.
No matter how smooth your front lawn
how graceful your flower beds, and how
we'll raked your gravel walks. if the back
yard II full OF old cans and Uttered paper,
and general disorder and ugliness, you are
not really nice" people.
What shall il credit you if you polish
up the handle of the big front door,"
beautify the front porch, and have hard
wood floors and $500 rugs in the parlor,
and don't look after the garbage can?
II is better to have spotless kitchen
and clean sink than have a grand piano
and lace curtains.
An immaculate bedroom is more to be
desired than lovely boudoir.
It's the provision for waste, refuse,
and ofral that tests.
The salvation of the office is the waste
basket.
The salvation of the home is the scrub
bing brush, the vacuum cleaner, and the
broom.
The salvation of the body is efficient
elimination.
The salvation of the soul is also to
have washable Aemory. and to keep
dirt out Of the corners Of the magma
ton.
The world instinctively conceals its
acts and agencies of excretion.
Yet cleaning out is more vital than
dressing up.
Thorough bathing and clean under
clothes mean more than a diamond neck
lace or a polished shirt front.
! Also il is more important TO be good
forgotten, to expel septic thoughts from
the mind, than it is to amass knowledge.
/ In the house where death turks there
is the smell of cologne; in the hospital
where life is saved and death fought
there is the odor of carbolc acid.
Cleanliness is another name for order,
which is heavens first law.
The secret of health is the discard.
Disease is at hand for the clogged. The
/ key TO wholesomeness is unclogged pores,
unclog9ea intestines, unclogged lungs,
unclogged memory, unclogged intell-
gence, unclogged affections.
Washing was a part Of primitive re-
Ggions. The instinct of the race pointed
true. Being holy is akin to keeping
clean.
The physician is one who physics. So
the true priest is one who cleanses the
|unclean soul of that perilous stuff that
Weighs upon the mind.
Because the cleansing processes of life
are secret. private, and not to be men,
toned or witnessed. they are all the more
