DON’T GET A CASH REGISTER WHERE YOUR 
HEART SHOULD BE 
A Personal Letter—to you 
Dear Friends: 
I wonder liow many of us properly value those things that cost little or 
even no money but require, principally, effort or response on our own part to 
have them. Probable no one appreciates them enough, and others very little 
if any. 
About a prized possession we often say—I would not take $50 for that, 
when it actually has no market value. That is partly because most of us know 
the value of money and our vocabulary lacks adjectives. 
But there is a type of person who really has little use for any value that 
cannot be represented by a $ sign. Let us not be like that, nor even develop 
in that direction. Let us not put a “Cash register where our heart should be.” 
Though money can be useful in acquiring or holding them, some of the 
best things cannot be bought. Just imagine a shopper calling for $1.00 worth 
of Love and Laughter; or 5 0c worth of True Friendship and an equal value of 
Honor and Fidelity; from another merchant, Faith in God and Man and Mother 
Love is demanded; somewhere else the Pleasures of Home, Children, Domestic 
Felicity. 
Finally, our imaginary shopper 
lays in a supply of the Grace, 
Color and Perfume of Flowers, 
the Beauty of Shrubs and the 
Grandeur of Trees, Vistas of 
Mountains, Deserts, Prairies, Sea 
Shores and Ocean Waves and the 
Sky Lines of Cities, paying in coin. 
We all know these things can¬ 
not be bought with money. We 
all know how to acquire them to 
some extent at least. My purpose 
is only to remind you and myself 
what things are worth most to us, 
and to caution us not to adopt the 
wrong set of values. 
One of the most valuable pos¬ 
sessions, seldom fully appreciated 
until lost, is Good Health. I 
would be remiss if I did not relate 
my own experience. I have told 
you before but repetition empha¬ 
sizes. By the knowledge gained 
in reading “Intestinal Gardening” 
1 have regained a greater degree 
of health than in any other way. 
The book may be had for $1.00 
from the Health Education Soci¬ 
ety, Dept. H, 530 S. Alexandria, 
Los Angeles, California. 
Many of life’s finer things are 
gained thru contact with the soil. 
Growing beautiful flowers and 
having them to enjoy or to give 
to others is but one phase of it. 
One of the leading exponents of 
this natural desire of man, soil 
contact, is Madison Cooper of
