If you want to go in for a course of elf-improvement. and if you are serious about it, there are some gem eral principles that you must under stand first. Otherwise, you might go wrong in some of your methods. 'or you just might believe hap-hazard ad- vice which isn't of any account
 First of all you must understand the workings of the human machine that is your own body. I do not mean to begin a discussion of physiology in this short space, though l do wish sometime you would get a book about it and read it up. l only want to say this-every day the body takes in new air. Every day it throws off waste. through the normal passages. and through the pores
 Therefore, the air you breathe must be pure-for it goes into the lungs. touches the blood. and burns up the poisons the blood carries there. If She air isn't pure, it can't do this work properly, and the poisons stay on the least Of the things they cause be- ng pimples and blackheads.
 Therefore, too. the food you eat must be the sort you yourself require to make flesh, or bone. or muscle. or build up the nerve force-al depend ing upon what you. individually. hap pen to need That's a matter for you to determine. with your doctors help if you don't feel you can do it prop erly alone.

 But doesn't law-breaking look a bit different when you realize that every infringement reacts upon the house in which you must dwell as long as you live and breaihe7
 T. seems madness to think of q mans inviting upon himself the doom of total blindneSS- It seems almost impossible that any should forget THIS pair of eyes is the only one you shall ever have"
 Yet know a man who is fine and splendid-now in his later years. He bears the aff1iction of blindDess with courage and sweetness and forrftude He must. however. have gone down to the very depths of living hell For he woke one day to know that he must some day be totally blind He knew this three years before it hap pened to him. Helplessly watched the light of the world go out
 He was a physician. but he had not been sane enough to remember that he could never get second pair of eyes His blindness is the payment nature exacted for bitter follies plus overwork-
 Our teeth. our lungs. our hearing all our senses. all the equipment of health and vigor that must go with us down the years will last if we do not spend them rashly- Isn't this splurge of gSSety or good fellowship or emotion be worth while in terms of an eaernal payment Who wants to live in a house that and that can never be put back into conditionr

 Would you give the house over to rowdies to desecrate2 Would you presept the vegetable garden to the fist stranger you met. and parcel out the orchards to the golf club and the insane asylum? Would you let any passerby who wanted it have the pas ture land ? Would you let all the visitors who cared to use your garage and abuse it at wiE2 ?
 Of course not It sounds absurd when any one suggests such ridicu- lous carelesSness with a fine piece of property, doesn't it2
 Yet even if your house and lands got into a terrible state of disrepair. you might build them up again. A patch of weeds may be reclaimed and made to bloom again. Or you might sell your deteriorated property to right of way and then you could take your money and go off in search of another house. Still, at that, you'd think any one who let a valuable piece of property run down a great dunce, wouldn't you2
 Well then-how about the house in which you must live. whether you like it or not, and as long as you stay on this earth of ours? How about your own body?

 Since the rest hour is an hour of moods, more or less, nothing is more logical than that miIady shall consult nought save her own preference, and her mirror, of course, for the choice of her lounging costume.

He locked out the cat and locked himself in every night with Ingerson regularity. He set the hens, and planted the dahlia bulbs, and warmed the milk at night for the baby, and put away 10 per cent. each month and used his hair tonic without a lapse. But now it's all changed.

He doesn't care a hoot about the dah1ia bulbs, and he grumbles at heating the milk, and he spends his evening in poker games. He says he's too tired to wheel the baby or mow the lawn, and someone always calls him on the phone when it's time to wipe the dishes.
