REASON OF !
'1
Ladies' Home Journal.
"Why do I lecture?" I would pre- al
fer to discuss the subject in the ab- oj
stract, stating the advantages of the sf
lecture platform in a impersonal ot
way, but I yield to the opinion of the is
editor of The Ladies' Home Jourial cc
and answer the question which he h<
propounds. sj
There is, however, but little dif- ju
ference between the two methods of 8t
treatment, for the reasons that lead P(
me to make use of the opportunities K1
ofTered by the lecture platform aret I J?
presume, the same that lead others ai
to do so. The overshadowing reason P(
for lecturing, whether at Chautauquas
or otherwise, is that there is no
other audience which gives one the m
same latitude for the presentation h<
of general subjects in a non-partisan ei
and non-sectarian way. at
There are certain expenses atten-. n<
dant upon a public meeting which s'
must be paid by somebody, and that
somebody may be, first, the speaker '(1
?which would necessarily limit ,r
speaking to those who have leisure 01
and are able to pay not only their <r
traveling expenses but the expenses
of advertising, hall, etc.; second, a
limited number of enthusiasts in the '''
community?t-which would put an unfair
burden upon a few; third, those to
who attend?where the expense of * '
a meeting is divided among the an- 'e
dience, the expense is light upon
eacli one, andf since, the attendance ,u
is voluntary, no injustice is done. 111
In political campaigns the speaker Wl
is usually , a person in public life
whose speeches are repayment, in of
part, of his obligation to his eonstit- j
uents; the local expenses of the
meeting are paid out of the campaign
fund. Such speeches are of course
political, the needs of the campaign p:i
being so urgent that the speaker has et'
no time, and the audience no paT1
tience, for the discussion of subjects
of a general character.
? cu
, In the case of religious addresses
the local church organization furnish '.
the auditorium, and here, too. the
speaker is, by the proprieties of the ^
occasion, limited as to his line of
thought.
There is practically no forum ex- m
cept that furnished by the Chautauqua
platform during the summer and ^
by the lecture platform .during the ^
entire yearf tor the presentation of
those subjects which appeal to the
general mass of the people without n(
regard to party or creed.
cc
The winter lecture course is sup- ej
ported by the leading people of the ci
community, and the same is true of jn
the summer Chautauqua, which,
whether held in an outdoor auditor- tc
ium or in a tent, accomodates crowds at
which are too large for the ordinary j
hollo
ti
During my college days I had the ti
\ privilege of hearing Wendell Phil- th
lipps on "The Lost Arts," Robert ot
Ingersoll on "Shakespeare," and
Henry Ward Beecher. Later I have
heard Wendling, Taylor, Talnuige,
Burdette, Dolliver, Nugent, and
many others. At the present time |
the lecture platform can claim among
its friends a number of the most n
prominent of our public men| minis- t,
terB and educators. j.
It is now nearly twenty years since di
1 began to use the platform as a 01
means of reaching the public. Dur- pi
ing that time I have discussed gov- y(
ernmental (|uestions, political' economy,
sociology, ethics and religion, ^
the lectures delivered most fre- o)
quently being, "A Conquering Nation,"
"The Vulue of an Ideal," "The ,)(
Price of a Soul," "The Signs of the
Times," "The Making of a Man," gt
"Fundamentals," and the "Prince of
Peace." The last named is the hegt
known, having been delivered all
over the United States and in other a]
parts of the world. ^
So highly do I value the character f8

thought of abandoning the lecture ' Ui

speak without remuneration and to
pay my -'own traveling expenses I
^ would still avail myself of the lecture H<

speaking under conditions which, by a<
placing a pecuniary burden upon a ir
few persona, would aeem to put me f<
under obligations to them. ir
I say I would?perhaps I should *
say I think I would. If I had the n
means I might yield to the temptations
that so often come with wealth, ^
and spend my time looking for com- r
fort. It may bo fortunate for me P
that I am compelled to earn my liv- J'
lng year by year, and I know of no
more legitimate means of earning an n
Income than that afforded by lectur- c
lug. b

Till: CERTAINTY OF HEALTH.
Urlefly stated ana in general
tc.ins, all diseases that attack the;
human body get their hold in the
system simply because the organs
for waste elimination are not per- ^4fcl
mitted or helped to perform their 22
normal functions. When waste is
not eliminated it becomes poison and
breaks down the human mat hinc be- iMjKk
fore it bus run half its course. I
The organs of elimination are the > j^HvN
lang8( the skin, the intestines, and ipPHB
the kidneys. The rules of health all a' ^
Jly'^
relate to methods for keeping these j ag?S<^
organs at normal functions under the ;
adverse conditions in u-lilcli u?-?
WTGR
The skin carries off enormous waste N ^
from its pores. These become clog- .
ged. The intestines become sluggish i SssJ
from lack of exercise and proper ~
diet, the lungs are not given free ?"
play, and what happens? The kidneys
attempt to do tiie work for all,
and do it for a while. Hut presently I
they go on strike, you go to see a ;
doctor. He shakes his head and tells j
you that you have diabetes, and the I
jig is up with you.
As to diet, no one under any circumstances
should eat meat more
than once a day. Scientific experiment
lias shown over and over that
even a man working at hard physical
labor will do better work and
feel better largely without meat.
Fruits and much vegetables and the
grains should be the principal diet..
Though if a man will look out for
other things, lie may eat meat once
a day. In Bulgaria, where, in a population
about the size of New York
city, there are more men and women
over one hundred years of age
than in all the balance of the world
together, little meat is eaten. The
diet is fruit and vegetables, and sour
milk. Sour milk produces the bacteria
which destroys disease germs,
and everv one should .l.-mir
buttermilk or sour milk of some kind
each day without fail. Drink plenty
of water all through the day. You
can cure yourself of constipation ah
Bolutely by certain exercises to stimulate
the intestines accompanied by
careful diet, and two cups of warm
water before breakfast ever\ morning,
with a fourth tea spoonful of i
salt in them. The following is Dr. J
Barker's list of exercises *o be taken
in the morning in your own room. A
few minutes each day will be sutli- ' dent.
These rules are for 1I10 lungs. ???
the kidneys, the spine, the liver,
stomach and intestines. The rules
for aiding the skin to perform its
functions are to take a "dry bath"
every day, on getting up or on letiring.
A stiff brush or a to.vei will
do. Rub the skin briskly on every
part of the body.
