Don't grumble- The most un-
fortunate class of people living upon
this green earth are the grumblers |
They rob home of its joys, society of
its dues, and themselves of the best
things of life. From the davs when
the children ofIsrael ''grumbled" and
were sent on their tedious wander
Ings for forty years in the wilder
ness" up to the present hour the
world has been full of grumblers |
1t is too hot" or too cold" too |
Wet or dry" People in reason
able circumstances have visions of |
the poor house, while the rich |
grumble that they can't get rich |
faster.
Talking of intemperance, did you

An overwhelming percent of the

awful havoc wrought in the family |

nine per cent of those who drink |
form the habit before they are of |
legal age when 1t Is Il crime to either |
sell or give them the stuff If all !
men would resolve, at this critical |
period, that the man who put the i
bottle to their sons lips should
suffer the consequences the results
would be more gratifying. But
so long as parents are indifferent /
preSe mt conditions will continue
Every little country village has
an ambition to become n trade cen
ter and boom city, with no special
natural features or geographical ad-
vantages Under such conditions
what Is most needed is some enter
