And What They Mean.
When Old Mother Nature gives you
a "whacl remember "thoro's a rear
son : . " so try and say "thank you , "
thou set about finding what you have
done to demand the rebuke and try
and get hack into line , tor that's the
happy place after nil.
Curious how many highly organize
people fall lo appreciate and heed the
first little , gentle "whacls" of the
good old Dame , but go right along
with the habit whatever It may lJe , ,
that causes her dlsl\p\lroval. \ Whiskey ,
Tobacco , Coffee , Tea or other unnat ,
ural treatment of the body . until serf
ous IIIness sets In or SOIllC chronic
dlsense.
Some people seem to get on very
wen with those things for a while ,
and Mother Nature apparently cares
hut little what they do.
Perhaps she has uo particular plans
for them and thinks It little use to
waste time In their training.
There are people , however , who
seem to bo selected ur Nature to "d o
things " The old Mother expects them
to carry out some department of her
great wOI'I" A portion of these select
cd ones oft and again seek to stimu
late and then deaden the tool ( the
body ) by some one or more of the
drugs-'VhlslOr. Tobacco , ' Coffee ,
Tea , Morphine , elc
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids In ChemIcal -
tn
cal anah'sls. They stimulate and then
depress. They take from mar. or woman -
an time power to do his or her best
work -
Cfter these people have drugged
for n time , they gel a hint , or mild
' 'whaclt' lo remind them that the y ;
have work to do , a mission to perform ,
and should uo about the business but
are loafing along the wayside and b e .
come unfitted for the fame and fortune -

Mirrors ( Used by Angler
Rather a quaint Idea conics from

warning to quit some abuse and do
