AUTHOR'S NOTE TO THE PUPIL
This book has been prepared to help you in learning about "the house you
live in," and to teach you to take care of it, and keep it from being
destroyed by two of its greatest enemies,--Alcohol and Nicotine.
As you study its pages, be sure to find out the meaning of every word in
them which you do not understand; for, if you let your tongue say what your
mind knows nothing about, you are talking _parrot-fashion_.
And do not forget that you must pay for all the knowledge you obtain,
whether you are rich or poor. Nobody else can pay for you. You, your own
self, must _pay attention_ with your own mind, through your own eyes and
ears, _or do without knowledge_.
Be wise: gain all the knowledge you can concerning everything worth
knowing, and use it for the good of yourself and other people.
"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER."

heavy lines, veins.]
