merchandise and other assets and 1 they go carefully over their accounts, 1 so they may know what part of their l business has been profitable and had i a healthy growth. and what part of | it was weak, sickly and unprOfta ble. | Now you may say that all business l men do not do this but simply con | tinue from year to year and never i think of an inventory. I still main i tain that I am right in saying "all l business men," There are men that conduct stores and are in other kinds of business but their methods and ultimate failure proves that they are not business men because they do not i observe the practical laws of business i and the result is failure. The most successful business men ! know at the close of each day just | what their receipts and disbursements | have been and a complete balance of their books is maAe daily, weekly or monthly according to the nature of their business. 4 little trouble it is true, some expense also, but always prepared for changing market con 1 ditions, and they at once can cast out l or discontinue any item that shows a steady loss and they can increase 1 those departments that show the 1 greatest gain. Protits gold. Property: more than i enough are the incentives that lead men to toll early and late, to take 1 risks, even of life itself and to ex- pose the body to almost unbelievable 1 hardships and yet in the ultimate analysis of their efforts is the care of i their body Of this however, they l seem to lose sight. The gold or prop 1 erty becomes the object sought and ;- ho 1 body is destroyed in attaining it. The i power to enjoy wealth is lost with the 1 loss of health. The only object Of wealth is to afford pleasure to its l possessor but so many people destroy i their capacity for pleasure in their mad efforts to secure wealth. while | the sensible or real business plan is 1 to enjoy to the fullest possible extent l each passing moment. Today, right
 now, is the only time that you have i on earth in this physical body; yes i terday is gone forever, you can | through memory recall and again l enjoy it's happiness, it's troubles and 1 sufferings are forgotten by sensible | humans. Of tomorrow you know nothing, it never comes. It is always 1 today and the sensible, person with l wise business instincts will take stock of his physical assets today.
 For many years the Home Health i Club has advised its readers to con suit a reliable physician and have an analysis of their urine made every
 three months. The honest family physician has the same relative pc | sition to the condition of your health
 that the expert bookkeeper has to i the financial condition of the business l man. If the bookkeeper is not all | T,T JDo o1ay oA1 | up frequently, he will have a long 1 hard job complete trial balance at
 the end of the year, then he may find the losses so great that bankruptcy | is inevitable. The family physician l who is not allowed to examine his patients until they are sick may find
 a job that will take weeks or months | of hard work on his part and much l suffering and expense for his patient l to restore him to health and it may
 be too late. An analysis of the urine quarterly or semi-annuauy may en- 1 able the doctor to give you timely | warning that may save you weeks of sickness, suffering and expense.
 I recall a case of a retired mer-
 chant in a small Western town. His | family doctor was quite old and didn't believe in these new fangled mo- 1 ticns'' and made no analysis of urine 1 and as the business man was a mem | Der of the Home Health Club and | proposed to keep well any enjoy the wealth he had accumulated, he sent i a sample of urine to me every three f months with a statement of luis con
 dition. He was all right for a cou- 1 pie of years and then I found sugar in 1 the urine. Of course I sent at once for another sample as a single test | proves nothing. Again I found su-
 gar and then I sent post haste for | the man himself and after a long
 and careful examination, I found the cause and removed it. Then I dt- rected a careful course of diet and
 he was soon in normal condition. 1 Had the sugar not been found for another three months or six months
 1t might be a different story
 I have found many a poor business
 woman, or rather women, trying to
 carry on the business of managing
 a home who would save two dollars
 by doing a big family washing and
 then just as regularly, pay the doctor
 $3 to help them get over the effecrs. Wouldn't 1t be better to pay the Iaundryman $2 or, even s4 and keep
 well than to pay the doctor to help you get well?
 Let me help you to keep well.
