TWO LIVES AND TWO DEATHS.
$500 So. State Street
Phods Douglas 3617

An ancient philosopher, I think it
was ,Pythagoras, taught that coward
fancies many perils which may not
exist and dies a Thousand deaths. 1t
appears that there arc two lives, a
cowardly and a brave; a life of eva
sion, laziness, watchful waiting, and a
life of candor, industry and action.
Each of us most choose one or the
other; there is no middle ground. One
life Leads to health and all that the
word success means; the other leads
to disease and all the word failure
conveys. A brave life carries with it
cleanliness, candcr, caution, courage,
care, credulity, credit with an easy,
gradual and graceful graduation into
the anticipated inevitable change of
condition called death. A coward
ly life is the antithesis of a brave life
and is the result of error, leading to
cratic phenomena, poverty, pain, and
woe. A cowardly life is a mere exist
ence; it is unciean, unreasonable and
unhealthy.
The cowardly life seeks to evade re-
sponsibility by subterfuge. 1t substi-
tutes watchful lifting for action. 1t
is afraid of effort, expects something
for nothing. 1t will seek to avoid pay
ing the price Of success. Patent medi-
cine appeals to it, because it is cheap
and easy to procure, notwithstanding
the obvious fact that it is deadly. The
cowardly life does not reason from
cause to effect. The cowardly life does
