The drug habit is easily acquired and
answers so long as we remain robust.
When. however. the health falls, or age
comes on, then chronic torpor of the in
testines becomes a serious menace. In
existing cases the entire mode Of life
must be regulated. All articles OF diet
containing white flour should be elimi-
mated. 1t is amazing how tremendously
the health is improved by this means
alone. Meals should consist mainly OF
bread made of whole wheat, plenty of
vegetables and fruit, butter, olive oil,
figs. honey. raisins, stewed fruits of all
kind and cold water regularly on arising.

the abdomen, following the course OF
the intestines. 1t is best to assume the
recumbent position. relaxing the abdom-
tnal walls by raising the knees From
ten to fifteen minutes twice daily is quite
sufficient
Active exercises that bring into play
the abdominal organs should be pursued
systematically every day. OF these, the
most effective is the following: Lie fiat
upon the back. bracing the feet under a
heavy piece of furniture. Now raise the
body to the sitting posture and gradually
lower it TO the floor. Repeat five or ten
times at first. This exercise can be made
more beneficial by sitting on a bench,
bracing the feet and lowering the trunk
backward until the head rests on the
floor, then slowly return to the sitting
posture. 1t Is very strenuous and should
not be practiced more than three times
at first. Ten times is the maximum. All
out of-door exercise such as horseback
riding. rowing. tennis and golf and pur-
poseful walking will prove of value. Deep
abdominal breathing should be performed
at all times, especially when in the open

"Me First. "

Beware of the man who says he's

firm-hes not!
The employe who really works for
the best interests of his firm works
for himself first.
work for myself first. last and
all the time. and before 1 undertake
any work I always ask, Whats in it
for me"
do not necessarily mean how much
money is in 1t for me, but how much
pleasure, how much benefit, how much
more improved will I be for having
done the task.
The man who works for the firm"
never gives the firm all that's In him.
If he has 100 per cent of efficiency
the firm will rarely get more than so
per cent, for the reason that 60 per
cent is sufficient to hold down the
job.
But the individual who says Me
first" is making his presence felt. He's
giving his firm 100 per cent. He's
driving hard.
And the boss in his private office
realizes 1t. He comes across" every
time he is touched for a raise, because
he knows Me first" is worth all he
asks. and can get more, very likely,
from the competitor on the next
block.
You can judge your organization by
the manner in which 1t goes home at

Those who are working for the best

start to the coat room; they also de-
mand two weeks vacation in August.
But Me first" has a contempt for
time. It's the only thing he possesses.
Therefore, he willingly invests 1t any
where or any time in any quantity,
provided he can see something in the
future for Me first"
To those who realize the value of
good helpers I give this advice: Hold
on to me first" for If you don't, your
competitor will.
