Winds That Blow In One Direction
By DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1926. by III. Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.

The weakest trees in the world are
those which grow in an absolute calm
T.. The strongest. are those whose fl
-bres have been hardened by swayiug
back and forth in changing breezes.
But those trees, like the pines of
Monterey, meeting without change q
wind from single direction, are only
formed into warped, distorted carl
catures.
Men (like trees in many tbinzs) are
similar in this respect.
Weakness is the issue when lives
are spent in the enevsting ease of the
sunshine of endless comfort.
Strength comes to those who know
the Christening and hardening winds
of adversely as well as the opposite
breezes Of smiling fortune and happy
days.
But when misfortune blows to him
eternally, without rest, IL warps a
mans soul, it ssps his finer qualities
and leaves him often a rnisshspen
csricature Of man.
The end of a cesseless bludgeoning
of chance is battered and stolid bru-
tally.
Bowed with the weight of centuries
he leans
Upon his hoe and gszes at the ground,
The emptiness of ages on his face
A thing that grieves not and that
never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, brother TO
the OK. :.
In these words such an individual is
described by Edwin Markham in his
poem, "The Man With the Hoe" and
Millet has painted him in the picture
Of a brutslized toiler from which the
poet took his idea.
Neither all good fortune nor all ad-
yersity makes a whole man.
When the winds Of fortune blow
continually in one direction, no mat
ter what direction it is, character is
always distorted.

Dilatation Of the heart is one Of
these puzziing diseases. The victim sc.

is that the patient finds himself I'M
