A NEW VIEWPOINT

These daily health articles will
take you only about five minutes to
read. Only a thought or two can be
given you each day, and they will
always be written in style you will
be able to easily digest.
Today ! wish to urge you to &C
quire q new point Of view about
food.
You have probably selected your
food principally because Of its
agreeable taste, or because it filled
you with a comfortable feeling Of
contentment. Or, perhaps, also be-
cause having these filling and tasty
properties, It could be secured at a
nominal price. If the pleasures" of
the table were the only things to
consider, this way Of selecting food
would be as good as any, but the
same caution must be applied to the
use of food that you would use in
regulating any other acts Of your
life.
Although we do not often pause to
philosophize as we are doing now,
it is, nevertheless, true that our
ordinary acts Of everyday life are
governed by deep-seated conscious or
unconscious principles which are
often called laws of nature. The
first of these has been aptly called
the law Of self-preservation. You
are constantly on the alert to protect
yourself against bodily harm, but
you do not often stop to consider
that you may be slowly eating your
self to death.
You avoid drinking a strong poi
son because you know of it's i'm
mediate dangerous effect. If you
make a thorough study of the eff
fects of food upon the body you will
soon learn that slow poisons are
being constantly developed by dietet.
ic errors and, although the results
are slow in action, they are none the
less sure. Study, then, how to select
and proportion your food SO as tc
avoid this food poisoning and thus
preserve and prolong your life. :.
The desire to achieve success Is
an ever-present longing which may
be realized only through having :
sound mind in q sound body. The
successful man will always achieve
more if he lives a prudent life. Ths
early deaths OF these same success
full men are brought about wher
they become self-satisfied and turn
themselves over to injudicious gor
mandizing.
If the same sensible rules the.
have applied to business were uset
in the regulation of their physica
habits, those dynamic leaders in ou
commercial world would find eQua
success in the cultivation Of goo'

Editorial Comment
Make It a Permanent Agency
(MinneaDOliS Tribune)


The test of any honorable project is its re-
suits. On that test the Agricultural Credit
corporation has established for itself creden-
tials of usefulness that are about as near 100
per cent as any credentials can be made.
The corporation has been of great construc-
tive service to the farmers of the northwest in
their swing from uneconomical one-cropping to
highly economic Investigation, with its due
proportionate attention to dairying and the rails
ing of meat and wool animals. 1t can go on
being of such service, and with benefits that
reflect back from the farms to the factory, the
wholesale and retail commercial marts, the
transportation interests, and the general finaE-
cial structure of the country.
With this fine background of usefulness to
point to, and with the details of helpful service
the corporation has rendered, Mr.. C.. 7. Jaffray,
chairman Of the board, is able to make out an
excellent case in his contention that the corpor-
alton should be conceived of and continued as
a permanent institution, with greater relative
substantial interest in it by the bankers and
business men of the northwest
Constructive helpfulness to the farmers is
not the only fact that commends the corporation
as worthy to be maintained indefinitely as
common benefit for agriculture and urban bus
mess. Whatever may have been thought OF the
credit corporation as financial venture when
it was established and started it's business few
years ago, actual experience has amply proved
that the investment of capital that made its
functionng possible is sound investment.
The western and eastern interests that financed
the operation Of the corporation have had no
cause to regret their participation in the prof.
ect On the contrary, they have had much rea-
son to be pleased with it and proud of it.
The facts cited by Mr. Jaffray about the
operation Of the corporation not only are per-
fectly reassuring to those who provided the
credit; they stand as high testimonial Of the
good faith of the farmers who have been
served and Of their ability under the new order
of farm practices to pay back on schedule what
was lent to them to buy farm animals. The
truth is that taken as whole, they are paying
back ahead of schedule. For illustration, the
borrowers for sheep purchases were 1-2 per
cent ahead Of schedule up to last month.
In four years the corporation has lent more
than $4,000, 900 to 6,488 farmers who purchased
i 176, 346 sheep ard 1928 cattle at per cent,
payable in three years. Borrowers are care
fully selected as to their farming ability and
business sincerity, and yet many of them were
borrowers whom bankers could not we'll have
accommodated, using the money Of their de-
positors.
The corporation has done great work. 1t
can do more of the same kind. The plan to
4 make it permanent credit agency is good
one, and it should be carried out. The common
rural and urban benefit fully justifies this
lpolicy.

explained. ''He told Cherry where

must be something wrong, and we
came here to find you. You'd regis

"Stella Pringle?" Faith repeated
in wondering voice. But / don't

cause you couldn't remember your

George believed the sight Of the baby
might restore your memory, and it
did, thank God. Now, you mustn't
talk any more for q while, or you
will run your fever up"
"Oh, Faith, / won't take Hope
away from YOU" Cherry sobbed.
II didn't know! Forgive me for
making you sick, darling! I've
been nearly crazy since Sunday. I
didn't know l loved you so terribly
much, but ! know now, and I won t
make you unhappy by taking Hope
away"
It was then that Faith realized
how involved and tragic the tangle
was.
