GOOD WORK IS LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
contentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If a man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to owe it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to ur-
round the job a man Is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
"The man who is in love with MS
job gets nor contentment out of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man car love his work who shirks.
No man car be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligent'y. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love of the job.

The Vacant Chair.

What sad memories linger around
the old vacant chair. Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with a plaintive
look about its frayed and seemingly
weary back, it brings back a tumultu-
GUS riot Of sad r~ecollections that time
can efface. Volumes of bitter
anguish come to me when I arrive
home in time to catch the milkman
swiping the loose furniture around the
place, and take off my shoes to avoid
publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker of the old vacant
chair. Then, forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet, I kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks Of
gloom settle over me like a herd of ILL
natured flies.-Oregon Journal.

Until Cuticura Cured Him,

81 was troubled with a severe itch.
ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles,
feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made
it worse. Thousands Of small red pim-
pies formed and these caused intense
itching. I was advised to go to the
hospital for diseases Of the skin. I did
sc, the chief surgeon saying: "Tnever
saw such a bad case Of eczema" But I
got little or no relief. Then I tried many
so-called remedies, but I became so
bad that I almost gave up in despair.
After suffering agonies for twelve
months, I was relieved of the almost
~unbearable itching after two or three
applications Of Cuticura Ointment. I
continued it's use, combined with Cuti-
cura Soap and Pills, and I was COM
