Learning From 1umbIes.

It does not matter how many tumbles
you have in this life, so long as you
do not get dirty when you tumble.
There is the greatest practical benefit
in making a few failures in life. You
learn that which is of inestimable I'M
portance-that there are a great many
people in the world who are just as
clever as you are and you
very soon find out # you have not
found it out before, that patience and
tenacity of purpose are worth more
than twice their weight in cleverness.

Excess of fat affects the heart by

organs, and by filling the intermuscu'
lar spaces it congresses the muscle
flbers, causing atrophy and degenera'
ton. This results in constant weak
