ct presume IL we laughed more we

writes Edward ". Box, in the october
Ladies' Home Journal. True. We are a
busy and a very practical people. And
most Of US probably lind more in this life
TO bring the frown than the smile. But,
nevertheless. it is a pity that we do not
laugh more; thai We do not bring our
selves 10 the laugh, III need be. For we
all agree thai a good laugh is the best
medicine in the world. Physicians have
said tina no other feeling works so much
good 10 the entire human body as that
OF merriment. As a digestive, II Is uneN-
celled; as a means of expanding the
lungs. there is nothing better. IL keeps
the heart and face young. II IS the best
Of all tOnics to the spirits. II IS, too, the
most enjoyable or all sensations. \ good
laugh makes us better friends with our
selves and everybody around US, ana puts
Us into closer touch with what Is best

agency for our personal good is not more
often used. II costs nothing. All other
medicines are more or less expensive.
why said an old doctor not long ago.
IL people fully realized what II meant 10
themselves to laugh. and laughed as they
should. ninety per cent. Of the doctors
would have to go out Of business Prob
ably when we get q little less busy we
shall laugh more. FOR. after all. the
difference between gloom and laughter Is
hut a step. And if more OF us simply took
a step aside oftener than We do, and
rested more, we would laugh more. BY
laughing | do not mean the silly giSsle
INDUCED in by some women and 50 many
girls. There is no outward mark which
demonstrates the woman Of shallow mind
so Enthusiastically as that OF giggling.
There is no sense In the gigele; no beneiit
to be derived from it. II makes a fool or
the person herself. and renders every one
about her uncomfortable. But just as the
glggle is the outcome or a smaIl mihd'
the hearty laugh is the reflection or a
healthful nature. What we want Is more
good laughers IN the w~orld-not more
gigglers."
