So. likewise. you feel that you
need to take professional or indus
trial magazines TO keep you abreast
OF the latest developments. TO give
you new ideas. TO help you succeed"
ever more rapidly and conspicuously.
In this you are right. No man
can AFFORD TO cease study in his
chosen calling. One must always
study, or stagnate and lose ground.
But supplement these technical
books and magazines by other books
and magazines dealing. not with
your special business. but with heal
thy living In general. You need
these latter even more than you
need the former.
Read the health news In your
daily paper as interestedly as you
read the market quotations or what.
ever other feature of the days news
appeals most to you
BY every means at your command
study yourself, your physical and
mental organism. as earnestly as
you study the latest improvement in
your line OF business.
Always remember that health and
efficiency go hand in hand.

Dying Unafraid.

We Of America, so far removed from
the lannon's roar, thrill when we read
daily OF the feats of valor performed up-
on Europe's bloody fields, and in the air
above and the waters about them.
We marvel at the stoicism of the men
OF arms, at their fortitude under awful
suffering, at the calm and heroic man.

are soldiers and violent death is their
allotted portion.
Read about an American hero.
w. c. Colburn, miner of %, in the
Bullion Beck mine at Eureka, Utah, was
caught in a cave-in.
For forty-five minutes, as the slowly
sliding earth entombed him, knowing
that rescue was impossible he conversed
quietly and Internationally with the
friends attempting to rescue him, made
verbal disposition of his property and
arrangements for the future care and
comfort of his wife and five young chill

Then he met death calmly, unafraid.

it?

Where ignorance is bliss. tbs
folly to be WISE" runs the old say
ing. In matters Of health, ignorance
may sometimes be bliss. But It Is
always a bliss that costs high.
Every year. according to authori-
tative statistics. over half million
people die in the United States sim
ply because they have not known
or. IL knowing. have not applied
the principles Of healthy living.
Every year ignorance of the ways
Of health brings occupants to ire
mendous proportion Of the three mil.
lion and more sick beds kept filled
In American hospitals and homes.
Every year an economic loss OF
more than a billion dollars Is i'm
posed on the American people
through illness and deaths which
would not have occurred had those
sick and dying known how to safe
guard their health.
The fact OF the matter is that most
of Us give more thought to the ques-
ton Of living prosperously than TO
that Of living long.
We want. of course, to live long.
But our attention il focused on
ways and means of getting on in
the world"
In order to succeed" we are u
ing to give years Of study in school.
in college. In professional institu-
lions Of one kind or another.
We are relentless in our pursuit
OF knowledge OF an income-bearing
variety. We burn the midnight oil.
We scheme. we plan; tirelessly we
press ourselves.
And all the while We forget that
our ambitions, our dreams. are
bound to be In some measure frus-
trated, II we do not take care OF our
health.
The healthier a mans body lis. the
sounder his brain will be. The
sounder his brain, the better he can
think. The better he can think, the
more prosperous he will be. Here
Is a chain Of cause and effect that is
unbreakable.
Therefore, II only from the stand

which surrounds the king. and in whose hands
he seems but q pawn. are all with the Teutons.
while the people are staunch followers OF the
former prime minister, venezelos. generally con-
coded TO be the greatest statesman In Europe
today.
Twice has yenezelos stepped down from his
high estate on account OF a government an
tagonistic TO his policy, and twice has he been
re-instated at the command OF the people.
He foresaw exactly the situation in which
Greece finds herself at this time and wished TO
forestall it by proclaiming Greece a friend Of
the Allies. but the king remained, ostensibly,
neutral.
So neutral that he broke his treaty with Ser.
bia on a mere technically and left that un.
happy country to be devastated by the Teutonic
army.
By the treaty 10000 Greek troops were to be
sent TO her relief in case OF attack providing
she kept an equal number of armed men in
Greek Macedonia.
In order TO protect her northern boundary
Serbia was obliged 10 withdraw her Macedonian
army and thus the Greeks were given a loop

SO neutral is Greece today, that she is al

There is a possibility that King Constantine is

party by which he is controlled. is playing into
the hands OF the Teutons and thereby their an
