 And so of the circulation of the blood and the many other functions of the body.
 Harmony Is a great physician. Work ing through happiness, 1t promotes di- gestion, thrills the blood with vital en- ergy, steadies the nerves-in short, makes you a man alive!
 Harmony-happiness- "A three fold cord Is not easily broken"
 Therefore harmonize your life. Allow nothing-least of all the petty little things-to move you from your poise. Happiness and health depend upon it. And the possibility of 1t lies within your own grasp. Science will tell you that anger and hatred and jealousy and depair and fear are real poisons. It is fact. tested in

The Yeast of Discomfort


 There are two kinds of discontent One kind is that which finds fault with conditions and whnes about them, but does nothing to change conditions.
 T was discontented." says the man who deserts his wife and leaves his fam fly in distress.
 q was discontented." says the mer- chant who fails because he Is always changing.
 q was discontented." says the woman who by indiscretion or worse ruins her good name.
 q was discontented," says a young man who gets drunk and loses his posi- ton.
 That sort of discontent makes matters worse. It leads to weakness, neglect of duty, lack of self-reliance, failure, crime. But there Is another kind.
 Discomfort is a yeast It troubles the human spirit But the purpose of 1t Is to develop ambition, faith, courage, &C., has urge in 1t. It spurs the spirit. It is divine discontent." because 1t does not merely find fault with things. but deter mines to change them. There's Abraham Lincoln.
 He was poor, homely in appearance, awkward, unlearned, The yeast in his soul made him discontented with these things. but 1t also impelled him to change them In so far as he could.
 That was why he walked miles to get Weems' "Life of Washington" and stud fed 1t by the ntful blaze of the fireplace and afterward carried Euclid in his sad dlebags.
 Instead of exercising his discomfort on others he exercised it on himself, by him. self and for himself.

 And now abideth harmony. happiness, health. these three, but the greatest Of these is harmony.
 Because
 Upon harmony depends your happiness. and upon your happiness depends your health.
 If there Is discord anywhere in you, you are wasting energy The more en- ergy you waste the less vitality you have. The less energy you waste the more vf- tality you have. And with vitality you can throw off almost any disease.
 And this Is no mere faddism.
 It is a fact of medical science.
 When there Is harmony, concord. in mind and body. the progress of digestion goes through without friction. The food you eat is assimilated-goes to the right place-and nourishes the cells in body and mind
 But
 Introduce discord; indulge in a bad fit of anger or envy or jealousy; agitate your mind to the point of worry. It mat ters little, then, what you eat. The food does not go to the place and does not build up the cells. It goes into waste And the waste clogs the system

Poor Hain tha Poor


 Thar~ ara soma beAitiful IAssons in ''ths short and simple annals of the poor"
 Hare is one from Chicago.
 A physician observed young woman who scrubs tho floors in big office building where he has offices carrying a baby.
 The baby bore no sort of resemblance to the gfri, but was carried in such a ten- doctor to inquire of Anorhar sornbwom- sna
 'sIs that her babyr'
 '.No, indeed" was the response. ''The poor thing belongs to a neighbor woman who is desperately poor. Rosa Is taking care of the baby so its mother can go out to work. Rosa can keep an eye on 1t while she does her own work"
 Surprised at this fine revelation of practical helpfulness, tho physician con tinusd to talk with the sorubwoman. who said:
 Things of that kind are very common among us poor people. You comfortable ones seem to think that 1t is only the rich or well to do who do charity work. I tell you you if you would associate with us tenement folks you would find that
 'The poor help the poor ten times where the rich help them once.'
 Which is without doubt truth.
 We arc apt to forget that phllan- throphy is not necessarily matter of dollars and cents. Tender hearts beat under shabby clothes, and in succor cal ioused hands are often held out
 There are good reasons why the poor most help the poor.
 The poor know the poor. They know their needs as others cannot know. They understand tho poor.
 Living in close touch in the tenements, they are at hand when misfortune over takes a neighbor They know what to do and why and how to do 1t.
 The girl Rosa, warm hearted and kind, lives neighbor to the poor mother with tho babe. She knows the mothers des- perats straits. She knows the mother must work or starve and that she cannot take her baby. To know and to be close at hand is to sympathize. To sympathize is to help.
 Besides
 What the poor do for the poor they do quickly. Tn thsir hard lives pathetic tragedies are constantly happening. These emergencies call for instant help. And he twice helps who helps quickly.
 And so-
 Though the surroundings may be for bidding and the lives harsh, all Ia not sordid Disaster to the poor is met by the charity of tho poor. And. ike stars, these deeds of mercy,

Is Marriage a Lottery?

Is Marriage a Lottery?
 Yes, marriage is lottery
 In the drawing are both prizes and blanks.
 Every thing in mortal life Is more or less uncertain, and the uncertainty of marriage makes it game in which there is hazard.
 However,
 There is this difference between 6 lot tery and tho marriage venture-the lot tery has only few prizes and many blanks; marriage has some blanks, but many prizes
 Perhaps marriage would better be com pared to the irrigation land drawings now so common in the west.
 Where the land Is nearly all level and the water supply sure one tract of land Is about as good as another. Only a comparatively few are undesirable.
 And so-
 One may, even with the best precau- tion, something draw an undesirable mate in the matrimonial lottery. No one can predict the future. But The marriage game would be less of a gamble were there less deception before marriage.
 Possibly 1t is true that in most cases young men and women do not deliber- ately set out to deceive each other during the days of courting, but 1t often amounts to that.
 Each puts the best foot forward"-the best side out. So that there is more or less a veil between the two--sometimes a veil of romance or illusion. sometimes a veil that is deliberately drawn.
 Is 1t any wonder that under such con- ditions somebody draws the booby prize ?
 Perhaps, the young people think they know each other when they are abso- lutelv ignorant nf each others temper ament. habits and characteristics.
 The man is lured by an attractive flg- ure or pretty face; the girl takes the man absolutely on faith. Is 1t strange that only by a lucky chance such a mar raige should turn out well7
 Young man, young woman g.
 Build your future happiness on nothing less than absolute personal knowledge of your intendeds strength and weakness. Do not risk your lifelong happiness on good looks or such other silly reasons.

 As the yeast of discontent works in the soul, the soul must work out It's saliva ton.
 Discomfort is not your enemy
 Unless you collapse when the yeast rises.
 Discomfort is your friend
 If you do not waste your forces in voic- ing 1t to others.
 Discomfort of the right sort, which mixes the yeast with right ambitions, will take you just as far as you are able to go.
 Therefore

Mothers Wages.

nOhhS' . FNoAccs
 What about mothers wagesf
 Father gets his, the boys get theirs. and the girls get theirs. Nobody pays mothers wages.
 Father does not pay mothers wages, because he says it takes all of his to pay the bills and make both ends meet. Tho boys say they must have good clothes and some spending money" and they cannot pay mother.
 And the girls complain that their small wages all go for suits and hats and rib bons. So that mother gets no wages. She simply does the family work without pay. While the others complain, mother hustles.
 It Is mother who gets up early in the morning to get breakfast for father and the boys and hurries them off to their work, who gets the girls nasty bite and then warns up the scraps for the little ones who go to school.
 Mother eats between times
