TRY To ALWAYS HAVE SUNNY DISPOSITION
Remember That Merry Heart Banls WEAKNESS and Wrinkles Besides Making Your
Daily Household Cares Greater Pleasure

The girl most richly endowed by
nature is the one who is blessed
with a cheerful disposition. It is i'm
possible to overrate its value to the
fortunate possessor. 1t carries ler
triumphantly through the countless
difficulties common to all and it helps
to tighten other peoples burdens.
The woman whose sunny nature
calls forth the remark "she's as good
as tonic" is welcome everywhere.
1t matters not If her means are small
and she is only passably good look
ing.
She may be positively plain, but
people forget thct in the charm of
her expression. She cheers them
up, and leaves pleasant memory OF
her visit behind her, and nothing she
says leaves nasty taste in the
mouth of listener.
The girl who is cheerful because
1t is her nature to be so never thinks
it a bother to be agreeable even to
the most commonplace person. She
takes smiling, pleasant interest in
everybody, just because she can't help
being natural.
Everywhere 1t is the cheerful wom-
an who is popular. In hospital wards
the dignified nurse, no matter how
clever she may be, is not nearly so
successful as the bright, CHEEKY girl,
whom patients call living sunbeam.
Some think 1t almost worth while to
be i'll If they are nursed by a girl
like this.
In business office the favorite Is
the girl who does, her work cheer
fully. She Is always obliging and
does not think she is cheapening her
self by being agreeable.
Then, how children love cheerful
mother! Their heedlessness and ig-
norance are bound to get them into
scrapes sometimes, and thrice-blessed
are the children who can own up to
a mother who is "a jolly gool sort"
as a boy once said: "She never rows
a fellow when he doesn't deserve 1t"
Such women bring ont the very best
in children.
If mothers would remember "that
perfect love casteth out lear" many
little ones would be saved the neces-
sity of fibbing, which is the refuge OF
the weak against the strong.
Pleasant looks and loving SYM
pathy are more potent in correcting
faults than an outburst of temper
and a stern countenance.
The cheerful woman is also a brave
woman.
Whatever happens she never pities
herself. Possessed of immense vitality
she sets about making the best of
things. She does not recognize de-
feat. Hope springs out of cheerful
ness, and her splendid perseverance
generally has it's award.
Being friendly, she has no lack Of
friends who are only too glad to help
her over time of trouble, and so
her habit of cheerfulness reacts upon
herself.

KEEPING Wells
FRESH AND CLEAN.

With relentless summer winds at
hand it behooves every woman who
cares for appearance to look we'll to

cast aside which might do further
service If it were properly cleaned

There is nothing more effective
over a woman's face than a, good
quality of white chiffon, provided it
is clean. And there is nothing which
so quickly detracts from her appear

Des Moines, July "A new feature
of the Salvation Army work was an
nounced today in that free ice would be
given the poor of this city turnout the
summer months.
Many children die every summer in
Des Moines because of lack of nour-
ishment," says Major Smith in com
mand of the local army work milk
purchased for them sours quickly and
they are denied the necessities of life.
In many cases the older members of
the family want for food because there
can be no ice procured for the preser-
walton of edibles. 1t is the purpose
OF the army to furnish to each family
unable to purchase ice sufficient
quantity to stay suffering.
The ice wagons will be placed in
operation within a week and we have
already long list of suffering families
that will come in for the relief to be
granted free by the army. We are not
entering the ice business in competition
to anybody. In fact, we are to pur-
chase our ice from the ice companies
and distribute it to those who cannot
afford to buy and who might die for
the want of 1t.
