PRESERVING Morale.

Morale implies morals, and more.
1t may be possible to be perfectly clean
morally and yet have low morale.
Morale implies hope, courage, determi-
nation. Many good man lacks these.
He is good morally, but has lost his
grip on the world and himself. In
spite of his goodness he is doomed to
defeat. On the other hand a man can't
have the highest morale if his life is
not clean. Mental and physical i'm
purity are bound to leave their stain
upon the life. Then in time of stress
something will give way and the papers
will talk about collapse and overwork
and things. The only way to meet
life's problems is to keep fit. That
means more than mere eating and
drinking. It means the proper care OF
the whole organism.
