 HEREDITY AND HEALTH

The influence of heredity upon 8 persons nervous and mental makeup is often very marked, but in many cases such traits or characteristic habits do not show.
 We come into the world, each one a being of limited capacity, but in other respects free to become what circumstances Of education and en- yironment make us.
 We are responsible to the extent. of our powers of capabiity. 10 bs, to have and to do those things which place their stamp on us for good or i'll, according to our personal growth and activity.
 Brain. heart and hand depend more upon the healthy functional activity of these organisms. than upon some far off influence called heredity,
 One can do more to develop and gain physical perfection by well d. rected diet and exercise than by rath- CT half hesrtedly claiming hcredity shapes our ends.
 The growth of mental and physical activity in all tissue of the body, even to that of the most insignificant se- creting gland, depends not So much on heredity as our own will and desire to get and place the bodily fupctions under perfect control.
 Healthy life for work and true hap. piness iB the paramount issue
 One can rise above his grade by careful attention 10 the hygiene Of health and bodily condition. Usins the equation of health and paying every possible attention 10 the laws of best mental and physical develop ment will account for a most striking contrast 10 what has usually been fs- tally pnssimistic views on this sub- ject.
 Modern intelligence agrees that health will shape and develop the in- di,iduat more than heredity.

But as sent searching glances around me I saw that the shabbiness was only a lack of paint. Everything about the place was clean and tidy and the grounds showed the evidence of care.
