Health is catching, and it is easily
caught. But TO catch health we must
follow a few simple directions. There
is no shortage of health. There is
plenty to go around, enough for 81.
If we wish to catch fish or rabbits
or ducks or deer we must have a
definite desire and definite plan.
Hunters do not catch many deer by
accident; they follow well-laid plans.
And so if we wish to catch health
we must first have a desire for health
and then we must follow well-laid
plans.
Health is the greatest blessing in
the world. 1t is free to all who fol-
low the rules. But because health is
free to all and is SO cheap, we some
times undervalue the blessing of
health until we have lost it.
In order to maintain health our
desire for health must be stronger
than our desire for wealth, for
pleasure, or for society, or for vices.
Now, how do we catch health?
Well, every time we go out into the
sunshine and take breath of Gods
good pure air we are catching health,
for without air and sunshine we
would certainly catch disease.
Every time we take drink of
pure, sparkling water we are catch
ing health, but by drinking liquors or
contaminated water we certainly
catch disease.
Every time we eat clean, nourish-

Is Health Catching or Is It Only Disease That
Is Catching?

ing food we are catching health, but
by eating adulterated or decayed
food or putting drugs or nicotine into
the body we are certainly catching
disease.
Every time we get a good nights
sleep we are catching health, but by
rohbing ourselves of sleep we are
lowering the vitality of the system,
and making ourselves more liable to
catch disease.
Every time we do kind act or
have a good laugh we are catching
health, but when we give way to a
fit of anger, poison is created in the
system. The Bible says: "A merry
heart doeth good like medicine"
Every time we have the teeth put
in good order by a dentist we are
catching health, for decayed and in
fected teeth surely tend toward catch
ing disease.
Every time we have the subluxated
vertebrae of the spine adjusted by a
we are catching health,
for subluxated vertebrae cause nerve
infringement, and an impinged nerve
is weakened nerve and is frequently
a very direct cause in catching dis
ease.
And soy after all, by having a
strong enough desire fer health and
by following the rules Of health we
can catch health and escape disease.

Two tourists thought they'd kid
Earl Germany, who had just been
telling them how far one can see in
this country when the atmospheric

they thought he had been kidding
them and wanted to get back at him.
Anyway, one of them asked, with
great seriousness:
Can you see South America from

"You can see lot farther than
that" said Earl
Farther than that?"
"Sure. Just wait until those clouds

will keep the article from slipping

is tin Lizzie or bath-tub, you'd
better use the Los Angeles Sunday

went one night to call on young wo-
