The Ten Health

as a rdligious
moral guide for the hu-
race .They have endured

Kcond to the soul is the body,

The commissioner
■of health of New York has
■ formulated what he terms the
WiTen Health .Commandments,
I each a preachment. They
are:
>"■' 1. Keep your mouth closed
when breathing, also when an
gry.
2. Prink cool water with your
meals, also between them.
p 3. Bathe daily, a shower, if
possible.
4. Eat slowly, this leads to
eating sparingly. Make , your
meal a ceremonial pleasure.
5. Exercise daily and breathe
deeply while so doing, but avoid
<ver-exertion and never eat when
fatigued.
6. Never read or transact any
business while eating.
7. Work ten hours, sleep
night and use the balance for re
creation and meals. Always rest
on Sunday.
,8. Ever keep a contented
mind. Equanimity longev
r »y ,
• Neglect no portion of the
body. Employ a physician to ex
amine you at regular intervals
and so watch for the beginning
of diseases and build up irestst
gnce and pay some attention to
. bis opinion and direction.
Moderation in all things.

suggestions is easy for any nor

they will add many days—many
happy days—to life. And this
is a pretty fine old. world, after

Sutnter Sixth
On November Sth, Sumter
county was in sixth place among
the cotton producing counties
of the state.
According to statistics from
the bureau of census for that
date. Carroll county had ginned
more cotton than any other
Georgia county. The leading
six counties were.
Carroll! Z.. 27,083
Burke 26,547
Bulloch ~21,394
Emanuel 49,271
Laurens _ 19,656
Sumter 18,159
The total ginning for the
state up to that date was 81 3,-
717 bales as compared with
488,919 for 1923- Sumter’s
total crop for 1923 was 1 1,208
bales.

Endurance Won
A 59-year-old man raced a
jockey-ridden horse in London,
England, 10 hours a day for six
days. The man, C. U. Hart,
won. He ran 345 miles, the
horse 337 miles-
The horse could easily out
distance the man—early in the
race. But Hart had more* en
durance.
Power wins battles. Endur
ance wins the war.
It’s like the prizefighter who
"didn't know when he was
beaten.’’ Not knowing, he re
fused to give up—fought dog
gedly until his superior lasting
powers overcame his oppon
ent’s superior strength and skill.
In this race between a man
and a horse, the man winning,
you have a clear-cut illustration
of why brilliant men are often
left far behind by men of infe
rior ability, in the race for suc
cess.
Natural ability and influen
tial friends often count less than
endurance.
In this case, endurance in
volves several things:
Superior physical power aids
an average brain to “beat out”
the superior brain in a weak
body. A bright light burns out
quickly if it has a weak bat
tery.
Reliability and thoroughness
are frequently more desirable
than intellectual genius. A
plodder who can be depended
on will outdistance a man with
a better brain handicapped by a
tendency to be slip-shod and
Unreliable-
Determination, ambition and
willingness to work hard for
success these make a man
forge ahead of a rival who may
have more ability but is easily
discousaged or lazy.
Hard work wins its reward.
Faith
This controversy between re
ligion and science, about the
theory of evolution, simmers
down to the problem of how
much one is willing to accept
“on faith.”
The scientists claim that re
ligion is based on faith rather
than proved fact.
But does it ever occur to these
scientists that at least 95 per
cent of their scientific know
ledge is also based on faith?
For instance, every scientist
will take oath that the skull of
a creature known as the Java
Ape Man, supposed to be half
a million or so years old, exists
—having been reconstructed
from fragments. But how many
scientists have actually seen
this skull? Belief in this skull
is entirely a matter of faith—
credulously accepting the word
of others.
We’re all like the scientists,
in that 95 per cent of what we
' know” is accepted on faith
alone- How do you know that
there’s a country called China?
Were you ever there to see with
your own eyes? Most of us
have never seen China, but we
believe in it.
Faith in the word of others
makes us believe nearly every
thing we class as knowledge.
Studying chemistry, we are told
that water is a combination of
hydrogen and oxygen—and we
accept this as true, on faith.
Scientists “swore by” the au
thenticity of the Cardiff Giant
—believed in it, many of them,
because they had faith in it—
until the giant was exposed as
a “planted” hoax of P. T.
Barnum.
The world is so big that a
man traveling constantly < for
100 years would see only a
small fraction of the whole be
fore he died. With this handi
cap, it’s quite natural that near
ly all of our knowledge is ac
cepted on the basis of faith.
Faith is oneiof the mightiest
forces in life, j
It is just asypuch

The Canary Islands, like li'e’and,
have no snakes, but it is too late

The sun’s rays take only eight

Begonias grow wil l in Java. We
have never been there, but it may
be because they stay out all night.
Russia has a population of 125,-

general opinion, don’t need a shave.
According to a French-Canadian
law, stealing a kiss in Canada is not
a crime, but we knew that.

their light 36,000 years later, and
perhaps there are friends %hat way.

DIVORCE
Divorces are increasing. Last
,jear 165,139 married couples dis
solved partnership. Many critics,
accordingly, "view with alarm.” If
they really want to learn something
about the increasing failure of the
marriage institution, they should in
vestigate the far greater number of
marriages that result wretchedly,
vet avoid divorce courts.
The main trouble is that people,
in courting, usually- masquerade,
concealing faults and prejudices
that reveal themselves later. Men
and women who are always “their
real selves” are not apt to make a
botch of wedlock.

LOVE
This year in our country there’ll
be more than one and a quarter mil
lion marriages. Probably f’ve
millions would be a conservative es
timate of the constant number of
Americans who are either engaged
co marry or planning to.
The public is concerned chiefly
with getting enough to eat, being
able to gratify its vanity, and mate
with the opposite sex. Intellectual
reformers usually fail because they
neglect to appeal to these three
basic motives.
