 iasm, self-confdence and optimism | last evening.
 Mrs McCollum entered into her
 discussion of the Cause and Cure of Disease" with vim and vigor that
 in itself immediately gave the impres- sion that the title given her by her many admirers that she is, the "wom- an who never wastes a wordr was a
 1t description of her forcefu and convincing arguments for better health and peace of mind.
 Discusses Three Sides
 In part, Mrs McColum said that she would discuss three sides of human life and the human being, the physical, mental and moral. To keep physically well, she said. there were four essential things that one must do. namely, develop the lungs drink enough water, eat enough but not too much food and exercise enough in the right way.
 She said that the first essential of health was proper breathing, giving the lungs proper treatment and thereby giving the rest of the body chance to function properly. As sug- gestion, she said that person should stand and walk straight, thereby avoiding cramping the lungs and should breathe deep and freely. In this manner, if followed honestly, a person, if not well, would start to get better.
 Proper Breathing
 The second suggestion, in coniunc- ton with the first, was that a per- son should stand before an open win dow in the morning, take five deep breaths of fresh air after which he should drink a glass of fresh water. The same should be done before going | to bed at night. Then between morn- ing and night, six glasses of water be taken, making a total of eight glasses a day, or approximately two luarts a day.
 Mentioning that eating the correct amount of food was necessary for good health, and stating that the sub- ect was so important that she would reat 1t on another night when the subject of food would be taken as a separate lecture, she went on to iwell on. exercise. She said that fif- cen minutes of the right kind of ex- rcises day would suffice for any person. She said that dignity was me of the chief causes of diseases be- ause 1t prevented people from being rec in their movements, thereby ausing them to lose the exercise they hould take. She was emphatic in aying that these suggestions, if fol- owed out, would keep a person in he best of health every day of the car.
 Diseases Two Kinds
 She defined diseases as being two |: inds. namely acute and chronic. She aid that the doctors would call an ilment anything to define it. but 1; espite the fact that they had ex- austed the dead languages in search :. names for new diseases, the two bove mentioned were the only two } inds of diseases existing. :, In defining the two kinds, she said lat acute disease was one that ,mes and goes, natures reaction to ! impurity and filth" ne said that chronic disease was one lat comes and hangs on, or in other ;} ords, condition wherein the in { vidual is unable to adjust himself ;; 'pefully, happily and confidently to
