Agood laugh is better than mcdi-
cine. Learn how to tell a story. A
wcll-tOld story is as welcome as a sun
beam in a sick-rOom. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your ills
and sorrows. Learn to stop cr0aking.
II you can not see any good in the
world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears
are out OF place in real life. Learn to
meet your friends with a smile. 1.-THE

ways welcome, but the dyspeptic or
hypoch0ndriac Is not wanted any
