Keep the Machine in Repair.

Think for a moment A man who would no more run his motor oar on deflated tires or with sand in the gear box than he would use sulphuric acid for motive power, will keep going right on in his business when the tread of his own physical mechanism Is flattening out, and the gearbox of bis mind is filling with the wrong kind of grit. The impatient optimism that shakes off a vague oppression with the assurance, “I’ll be all right tomorrow,” has w as much to do with lengthening out the list of bankrupts as any other one thing I can mention. You can’t correct a bad condition by persisting in the things that cause it. You will only make It worse. You can easily enough, if you ; are obstinate enough, make it so much worse that It will “be the death of you,” or anyway, put ydh out of business.-—No-tional Food Magazine.
