Majorca-Where Every Day Is a Holiday.

height of q fine art. Majorca. you
remember from our last visit. is the
largest OF the Balearic Islands. the
Mediterranean possession Of Spain.
As illustrating the way in which
the M~ajorcans consider their holi-

island. Palma. the festivals are not
celebrated with the simple naivete
which one finds in the smaller towns,
such as PollenSa. Pollensa Is a
typical sleepy little Majorcan town.
And just now they are celebrating
the fiesta Of San Antonio. Yesterday
the young men OF the town went out
on the neighboring mountainsides
and selected the tallest. straightest
tree they could find. This they
dragged back to town where they
skinned il and gave 1t a thorough
coating OF grease. Then they tied a
cock 10 the upper end and set the
tree up by the side portal OF the
parochiai church. One by one. the
young men OF the town tried to climb

sands there are who 20 on day
after day in the same old way
and they suffer immeasurably from
all sorts of ills.
The places where poisons may
develop are legion. 1t may be said
in general that an accumulation of
pus, no matter where, may cause
symptoms of poisoning.
The teeth or tonsils may be
absceSsed. An accumulation of
pus in the sinuses, a running ear,
a chronic ulcer anywhere may be
the seat Of the poi5ons which de-
stroy the health. The intestinal
tract is the most likely place for
his trouble.
Constipation Is often the first
warming that the digestive organs
ire causing a slow poisoning in the
system There may be headache.
dizziness, distress and heartburn,
pains in the joints, and more OF
less mental depression.
Auto-intoxication ~ a very com
mon cause Of high blood-pressure
and hardening of the arteries.
To get rid Of these symptoms
you must clear up the center Of
the trouble in the body, wherever
it may be. The assesses must be
drained and healed. The constipa-
ton or other trouble must be over
come.
After all, you cannot be well IL
you are constantly bombarded BY
the poisons of self-contamination.
The body has an almost unlimited
capacity to adjust itself 10 new
conditions. and there is an almost
unlimited capacity for rebuilding
and repairing a badly damaged
constitution. You may overcome
some of the effects of sins against
the body, and can gather new
health If you return TO a natural
way Of living.

VxTHEN you hear people saying how cold it is and how hard
wv It Is to get warm and keep warm, you may know that
there isn't much Love in their hearts. For where there's
Love, there's always warmth. The happy glow of a loving heart
keeps one warm through the coolest days, for it's the glow Of
Life and Happiness. And where you find these you find comfort
and love and peace.
No matter how 1t SHOWS or blows, If there's love in your
heart for your felowmen, you'll be assured Of comfort For the
warm glow Of a happy heart reflects its beauty and comforting
warmth on all who pass. And when one has found the Love of
ones life, could there possibly be any room for frozen thoughts?
Of course not! For Love ever brings in its wake the CHEEKY in
spiratonal ,hre that casts its warmth over everything. So let
your heart be warm with Love on these cold days. and you'll never
feel the bustery winds.
