They are always to be classed as among

Don't give them the least headway or
! they viii swamp you.
Blues and common sense don't go to-
gether-therefore t hrow overheard the
blues and load up cargo of common
sense. 1t can be done. Just try it and
see. Life wasn't given TO human beings
| to make other people miserable, and that
! is what you do whenever you give way
/ to fit of the blues.
OF course no one can be gay all the
time any more than the sun can shine
always There must be an equal proper
ton OF night. 1t is necessary to the plan
OF our being. But blue devils are by no
means a necessity, and you can stangle
them out OF existence if you VIII. When
troubles, real troubles, come, you viii
have no strength left to bear up under
them if you give way on every provoca-
ton to fit OF the blues over the most
trivial happenings.

storm just as millions have done before your

really dc2d and forgotten by the worlc

Whatever you do, don't cumbeT the earth

Don't be a drone in the hive. There

you good to attend to it, regardless Of

Don't go upon the idea that no one else

To make a noise about the fact, and go
about informing the universe, is no reason
that they Go not exist.
Don't get bilious over your worries.
Don't dose with medicine. The only medi-
cine you need is good, big dose OF common
sense. Take as much Of it as you have
on hand and repeat the dose frequently
as il is possible 10 get a new supply OF
that most invalua ble commodity.
/ When you get bilious you do not look
well, either to yourself or to other people,
therefore IN the name of CommOn-sense,
have some consideration for those other
people who have TO look at you and, coming
il daily contact with you, have to bear
with your cranEncss and low spirits.

crank. You can If you viii. II does not

is nothing more spiritual than sweeping up
your room, cleaning out your closet, going
through a rag bag and sorting out the bits,
so that some poor old soul may be furnished
with the refuse for the patching Of her
beloved quilt.
HAVE THOUGHT FOR OTHERS.
For heavens sake stop thinking of your
self. Don't allowthe telephone connections
of thought always to run tothe central sta

heartache-but there are always troubles of

of imagining that some one-even the most
vaguely indefinite some one-ought to take
you under their wing and shield you from
all troubles, or, give you an establishment
with fine turnout included in the deed OF
gift.

KEEP OUT OF CONVENTS.
Don't go into a convent. This is a
