A «“] "VE always wanted to tell of a beautiful day I had in the late summer,” sald Peter Gnome. There were many times when I meant to tell of this day and then something came up, as they say, and 1 didn't get around to It—another speech which you hear made. “I've talkcd enough since then but it has just happened I have never told of this beautiful day, and 1 should go like to have you hear of my adven- tures on that occasion.” And th. little gnomes around Peter and he began: “Jt was a veautifullv sunny day and the first creature I met was a lovely big spangled hutterfly. : wrhe butterfly was very big and wore a brown suit with brown spots and silver trimmings and silver touches In the lin'ng or underneath part of the suit. “3 am gcing to visit a little city girl, the butterfly told me. ‘She is not able a get out as she has been fil and I em going to show her a bit of the summer time, for I think I'm quite correct in gneaking f myself as a bit of the summer time. “q went to see her yesterday and went right in the open window Into her bedroom.

Walker N EVERY field of endeavor, wise men and women in the beginning sum up the possibility of success by carefully considering all the “ifs” and “buts” by looking ahead. So far as they are able they leave nothing to chance, They go to the root of the matter with the same composure that an ac- countant adds up a column of figures, seeking cold results rather than spec ulative fancles, What appears In {ts first blush to require but slight investigation must stand the test of additioh and sub- traction, otherwise It makes no strong: er appeal to them than the thing which shows on its surface less prom- ise, Of courre, these considerate per- sons mike frequent mistakes, but their errors ns a rule sharpen their wils and enable them to judge accurately between the right and the wrong course, To plunge deep into a stream with- out the ability to swim Is altogether foreign to thelr purpose, The thought always In the of those who habitually look is whether they can float, They have a Lorror of getting over thelr heads and being smothered by ne'er-do-wells, clutching at straws in the troubled waters all about them.

Or perhaps he eats only once a day but has a violent session with a pair of dumb bells every morning. To these habits of work, eating, sleeping or exercise, he attributes his success. And he usually manages to convey the idea that If others would follow his example In such matlers they would be much better off, The habits of prominent persons are always Interesting. But their rules of living are not necessarily suitable for everybody. Not everybody, for Instance, can habitually work eighteen hours a day and retain his health, Nor can the average individual get along with four hours’ sleep a night. Most people usually like at least two meals a day and even five are uot too many for some, One man’s health is best maintained with moderate exercise. A more vig orous man requires more violent ex. ¢ cise to keep him fit. In short, no one system of living fixe everybody. ® There are, of course, certain general rules of health which all persons should observe, whether they actually do so or not, It is axiomatic that fresh alr Is healthful and that irregu- he iar habits of eating usually occasion indigestion. fut the fact that one man thrives on big black cigars or on three boiled eggs a day does not mean that you will find them beneficial. You may not like eggs, and cigars may be rank poison to you. Considerable experimenting may be necessary before you discover what rules of living suit you best. And the system you evolve may be utter ly different from that of the person who does the same kind of work as you do and leads the same kind of life. For your bodily needs may be quite different from his, LJ » Don't try to regulate your health by another person's system of living. The chances are that It Is not cut to your pattern, Get a first hand system that Is sulted to your body and your mode of existence, If you can get along with six hours sleep a uight you will have that much more time fo devote to other things lut If you find that such regimen Is detrimental to your health it would be foolish to continue with it. The same applies to exercise eat ing, smoking and other habits. The rules of health of one person are not necessarily beneficial for another, So the next time some genius comes out with his ideal plan of living dont jump to the conclusion that it is the plan for you. Get a plan of your own, suited to your own needs. Dut don’t take on one second hand, (® by MeClare Newspaper Syndicate.)
