TKE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



one half to three-fifths of the whole 

 number of marketable sections. 



Making honey strictly a natural pro- 

 duct, even if we do not get quite as 

 much for it, creates in us a degree of 

 satisfaction that amjunts to something 

 in itself. It would be the conscious- 

 ness that we are not doing what might 

 excite in our fellowmen a suspicion of 

 wrong doing which might excite in 

 them a temptation to dj wro ijf. Tiiere 

 is in the world to lay too much that is 

 questionable in character if not posi- 

 tively bad. It is best to keep above 

 suspicion, after all, it is principle and 

 character that count. 



BENEFITS OF MORALITY. 



We should take pride in our business 

 from a higher standpoint than mere 

 money getting — from the moral and 

 est hetic as well as the practical. We 

 should carry on our work, no matter 

 whether we are working for ourselves 

 or for others, with interest in it and 

 from love of it, or we will degrade our 

 work and we will ba on the down hill 

 road to decay. When the moral powers 

 decline, in time, it will be found that 



the physical and mental powers are 

 also declining; in fact, these powers 

 seem to be so interlocked with each 

 other that when one weakens all s-em, 

 as a rule, to weaken. To keep off old 

 age, and to remain 3'uuiig, we must 

 keep in full strength and vigor our 

 physical, mental and moral powers. 

 Activity is life. I think it may be 

 safely said that the "foundation of 

 youth" lies within every one. To all 

 I say, keep young. If old age is steal- 

 ing upon you, or has stolen upon you, 

 shake it off. Through the activity of 

 your functions bring back the elastic 

 step> the deep and quickened thought, 

 and the tenderest emotion. Gradually 

 persevere, and success will attend your 

 efforts. Effort and determination will 

 work wonders, and here is the richest 

 field for their labor with the richest 

 promise of the greatest rewards. 

 Again I say be young. Dress young, 

 act young. Be young in heart, be 

 young in sympathy, be young in senti- 

 ment, be young, be young.

ITU LTHOUGH Mr. Getaz says on page 

 -Li 273 of the Review that the food is 

 completely transformed before assimi- 

 lation, if 1 can read straight, the 

 transformation of food is capable of 

 being carried or extended so far or 

 indefinitely that "complete " transfor- 

 mation could never be accomplished, 

 nor is microscopic science able to de- 

 termine the fact if it should once occur. 

 If there were complete transformiition 



there would be no need of the renewal 

 of species. There would not be any 

 old age. This lack of complete trans- 

 formation is the cause of tlie unlikenc-s 

 of all living organisms. Every organ- 

 ism possesses a power to transform 

 food only to a varying degree of ])er- 

 fection. And because the character- 

 istic molecular atoms contained in the 

 milk of cows or goats (see page 273) 

 are translerred to pur systems, lack-
