YOU B E81‘

A speaker sa'd a very significant thing recently.

"The" greatest enemy of the "best" is the "loud".

You are born with a good. ment- ality. a good mind, and as you Journey through public and high -_school, perhaps 'through the Uni- ‘,versity, you are able to. get by be-

, cause you have a "good" mind.

_ if you are not a hard worker, nor ambitious you "get along" fairly well because you have this "good‘ mud. -

What you could do were you to do your very best with that good mind is not for me to say.

But what about that body of yours? ‘ _

I Your folks gave you .a “good" body. You iwero able to attend school regularly, to play the games of childhood and youth because your parents gave you a "good" body- . .

_ You wore satisfied to be on the team or one of the spares, even if you were not a star at the game. And now you are into manhood and womanhood. what about it? Oh well you have pretty good health. an occasional headache, a little tendency to constipation, a bit t'red toward evening, but still you have “good" health.

Yoir are at your work every day. You go out evenings although you're a little tired the next morn- ing. » A You think you can really say that you are in "good" health.

lt is Jitst here that l want to rc- mind you of the words l quoted above "The greatest enemy of the "bi-st" is the “good."

if you are satisfied with just "good" health and you are young or middle aged, can't you see what you are nrssitig when you don't try to attain your "best?"

You have a "good" body, a sound

give you, that is not just "good' but your "best."

You have, rjealiy no excuse for not being at your best. And fail- ing awsy from . that standard is yuur fault andyours only.

For one who is constitutionally sound not to attain his real “best" health ‘s not only wrong, but act- ually foolish.

Why with the start you have of a "good" body, and "good" health you have ninety percent of the job done for you.

‘Why not get that other ten per- cent by going into the matter of the little things that are keeping

constitution, why not get all it campm.

William Lyon Msckenze King had balanced the budget and budgeted the balance; how he had saved Canada from ruinution and depop- nlation by reducing the tariff. re- ducing the national debt, reducing taxation by millions upon millions. Hts-didn't mention the Progressives and the audience cheered hilarious- ly at every reduction. His perora- tion, dealing with the triumphant return of tile Liberals next election was exceedingly touching and‘ pathetic and, it is said that some of the ladies wept.

He, also, in that fervtd eloquence for which he is noted. predicted an early and glor- ioiis resurrection of the local Lib- eral party.
