WOMEN THAT ARE
HAPPIEST.

We may not envy the very rich
men, because we know perhaps that
of all classes they have the hardest
work, the heaviest strain. the most
worry and the least enjoyment. The
instinct for accumulation, being purely
animal, overwhelms and deadens the
finer sense through which riches may
be enjoyed.
But we do envy the rich mems
wives and daughters, who need strive
for nothing, but have freely poured
into their laps all their hearts may
desire.
And Just there we are nightly in
error. The unhappiest, most restless
women in this land are the idle wives
and daughters of rich men.
1t is true they have their fine houses
their carriages and automobiles, then
fine gowns. their magnificent jewels
their stately calls upon one another,
their grand dinners, their brilliant
receptions, and all that.
But it is all a veneer. 1t is not hap
%piness, but only a pretense of it-an
~extraVagant attempt at imitation OF it.
The great mass Of women without
wealth, who work in their homes, rear
their children themselves, cook the
meals, mend the clothing and do the
thousand and one unending tasks of
the housewife need not envy those
gllstening butterflies Of fashion.
The envy should be on the other
side-and is.
The happiest women in the world
are the working ones; not overtasked
udges, whose lives are necessarily
miserable, but the busy women whose
time and minds and heads and hearts
are occupied in making the home hap
pier and life for those about them
sweeter.
Happiness must come from within;
and it is no mere pious precept that
the best satisfaction comes Of service
performed faithfully for loved ones-
service that requires thought and eff
fort and application.
10 put a fine gown upon a girl ac-
customed to nothing else since baby
hood is TO give no more real satisfac-
ton to her than would be given to a
doll by the same process. But the
pretty dress bought by a girl with her
own earnings means a triumph and a
Joy as sweet as the human heart can
know. That dress is a part of the
girl herself. 1t stands for her brains,
her bone, her blood. Ii marks an
epoch in her life. 1t is the happy cul-
mination of happy usefulness.
There is one great cure for the rest
lessness and discomfort Of women. Ii
is in common-sense application Of
mind and hand and beart to useful
work. Other remedies may seem
effective for a while, but this one is

the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP

Deaths Due to Dust,

A warning against the dangers OF
dust was issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, In which
1t is shown that the percentage OF
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades is more than double that for
all employed men in the registration
area of the United States While
among males generally in the regis
tration area of the United States l4.5
per cent. of all deaths are from con-
sumption the mortality among grind
ers from this disease is 49,2 per cent,
and in hardly any Of the dusty trades
is it below 20 per cent. The percent
age of deaths from tuberculosis
among all those exposed to metallic
dust is 36.9 per cent; to mineral dust,
2S.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre dust,
28.S per cent; to mixed animal and
other forms of dust, 32.1 per cent, to
