,o 'THE SUPREME BEAUTIFIER
> Love of God Is the Great Secret of
a Beautiful Life
According to the recent dictum of an
eminent physician, "our lungs, quite as
well as our bodies, need baths.'; Espe-
cially do they need a bath after we have
sal for three or tour hours in the impure
and stele air cf a Theatre or church.
Then, if we could seo them, our lungs
would look as unsightly as the face of a
cent -heaver looks after a hard day's
work. "They need a bath, but not a
enter one. Air, pure air, 1s the cleanser
of the lungs, tied to bathe them the head
should be thrown back, and through the
nostrils pure, fresh air should bo in-
haled till the lungs are distended to their
ulnost limit. About twenty-five of the
deepest possible 'lungfuls' of pure air
should be slowly inhaled and exhaled.
Then the pure ale imshes like a torrent

READ BEAUTIFUL COO:iS.
This is an ago of reading. And how
many books are sources of evil 1 Iiu,i In
their pessimism, in their flippant in -
piety and in their thinly disguised im-
morality) They are purveyors to the
ugly and vile.
But a good, a beautiful book, a look of
noble thoug;its, of true poetry, of reli-
gion -what a world of purity, power and
i•Icssing to the heart, mind and imagina-
tion of the reader 1
By thus averting nur eyes front the
sinful, the deformed, the ugly, and lak-
ing pleasure in the pure, the lovely and
tho joyful, we can lead the beautiful life.
We can make every day beautiful. If
you rise at the dawn with a thankful
heart to life's Giver; if you go through
the hours. not with knotted brows and
churlish temper, and meet little vexa-
tions with patience, gathering smiles
from your neighbor's lace and giving
them back in return, then will your heart
be as light as the sun in the meridian.
