THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from

Cheerfulness Is like sunlight II
dispels the clouds from the mind as
sunlight chases away the shadows OF

The good humored man can pick

with a crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor In the background.

would exhaust me and after each spell
sit up in a chair.
II became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. ] decided TO
stop it and bought some Postum.
