MATURE HAS DONE MUCH
FOR THE PF(OS VALLEY

puts the vipvammer TO working right.
No man or woman can laugh healthily
and have anything the mater with the
bile. IL is death to melancholy, and
bots aud most of the socalled nerve
troubles. II oscillates the dibendus and
works the diaphragm into elastic con
dition. The mind responds to the in
fluenee of mirth readily ~ man never
vet went wrong in the head who laugh
ed properly and often enough. II helps
the consumptive by loosening up the
crevices Of the lungs and permitting
this glorious asceptic air to get in its
work. II brings husbands to old maids
aud jobs to the unemployed. II removes
the widows weeds and causes man
who has fshed all day and caught moth
ing but bad cold to get over the same
without the use Of expetives. II gives
maP a broader view Of life, simply
because II improves his digestion by
promoting gastric secretions. No man
can be n good all around citizen who
must take pepsin all the time, and
good. hearty laugh will do more TO re.
lieve an aching stomach than all the
drugs in the world. When man has
nerve enough TO use il, il robs that next
day feeling of all terrors, and reduces
the wollen head to it's normal size. Most
successful men are good laughers. or at
least have n good sense of humor You
can make sale ten times with the
slides CREASED with laughter where you
would make one with your face drawn
up like AN east Texas p"rsiinmon eater.
That IL human nature, for u j. not 20

NJ the whole field. The laugh has nu

Vice, water. air and the infinite blue
Of the sky. absolutely free. aud th"
wise lav hold upon II n the best thing
in the world. Only rh"s" poor mort v

miserable. Thank goodness his numbers
are few in the valley The best pe0pl,
in the valley are good laughers. Their,
is no better place to live than this
People have time here Ia see the funny
side Of things aud the result is n form
of society that makes life worth living
Whenever town gets sO big that Tho
people have to hire professional lau"h
ers, IL is matter Of regret for the
life in IL, for il means goodbye to the
human kindness. That time is far oil IL
the valley. itself one of the choicest
smiles that ever illuminated the scanned
face Of the old gray earth,
Speaking in this connection, il has
always seemed to me that the bright
est flash from the pen of Captain Jack
Crawford, the poet scribe, were those
which run;
never like to see n man a.rastlin, with
the dumps.
