ions YOU long for this New Year rather than the money
and other objects which promise satisfaction
Suppose we look first Tor fundamentals. Health is
chief among them. Once threatened will give all we
have and pledge all hope possess to safeguard it.
Try making the maintenance of good health the primary
during 929 and you may be surprised to discover
how far that adventure will carry.
Health for most of be For some, effort is
required Theodore Roosevelt you remember efectua
w built himself up that the weak boy became internationally
famous for his strenuous lite
Examine your habits for their effects upon your physi
cal weLbeng IF over-eang lack of exercise
es of anv denying you the happy exhuberance OF
healthy vigorous body you may feel mpeed rearrange
your living that another twelve months will find you
physically better off
Health is basic but many vigorous body houses an
uneasy spirit.
Put ease of mind the second objective to be sought
during 1929.
Ease of mind like health of body and after it
Seeking such goal moreover affects choices and
decisions fundamentally.
Beyond certain point money has necessary
effect upon either health or happiness Many and
men who enoyed life on little are wreched after they have
much
OF course you want freedom from financial anxiety.
Most healthy people who exercise reasonable amount OF
prudence and who plan their expenses fit their earnings

ravagance But whether your income large small the
problem of making ends meet is much more matter OF
character and common than OF money. Many who
happy and prosperous at $4,000 harassed
and uncomfortable at ten times that income.
Money is power and power is good bad according to
how it is used
1t is hard to recall who is remembered pleasantly
merely for his wealth. Croesus symbolizes than
gold coinage George Washington very rich but his
possessions overshadowed by his intelligence and his
character and so he beloved John D. Rockefeller
hated while he was known merely for his accumulatons
The tide turned when he became famous for his sagacty in
living
No conceivable of money buy contented
If you able do than support your own give
some of yourself to others who need help Men and
reach distinction when their horizons extend beyond their
affairs That is route toward ease OF mind.
Another is by developing within ourselves resources of
entertainment Are you able enjoy evening homep
If you cannot the twelve months will give you
thing to think about.
Health of body and of mind go to make the great
essentials of the comfort which is worth pursuing
The most comfortable in the civilized world lived
and died long before any of the socaed comforts of cv
shrew Yet went comfortably through life
than Socrates
The comfort he enjoyed and the courage with which he
faced the world from weordered mind During
eny years he happy because he had occasion
regret his actions or his opinions
During $500 years Of all have held his name
in because his character whstood every
which could be imposed upon it.
Keep in mind such resolutions lead you definitely to
seek good health of mind and comfortable relation

any of present habits are unsatisfactory or waste
fu will be given positive motives for change and i'm
provement positive pursuit of something worth win
