THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Did 1t ever occur to you that there is
such a thing as selfshness Of obliga-
ton?
I think there is.
Eyes, 1 would have given anything to
stay week longer. but they wouldn't
let me pay a cent for my board. and l
didn't feel right to, without. know they
want to be kind. but it really cut my
vacation in half"
The speaker was a Woodworking little
woman. She was persuaded to take a
rare and much needed breathing spell
this summer. One week of this vacation
she spent with some friends, who. al
though not much better off in worldly
goods than she, manage to have q sum-
mer cottage.
The other week she spent at home be-
cause these friends would not let her con-
tribute a little toward the expense OF the
cottage.
So what was undoubtedly meant kindly
on the part Of her friends ended by
working great deprivation to her.
How often people do things like that
from mistaken sense of kindness.
And how often it makes other people
uncomfortable or works deprivation to
them as in this case.
l know girl VINO is very skillful at
doing little inner and dance cards. Her
friends often want to get her to do some
thing of the sort for them, but although
she always seems glad to do the work
she II never take any payment. and so
they do not feel like asking her to he p
them out. The result Is that they pay
a professional a much larger price.
Last summer" I heard a woman say
just the other day. Il got a little neigh
Dor of mine to take care of my cat while
was away. OF course. 1 paid for its
food, and when l came back l wanted to
pay the little girl for the care. but her
parents wouldn't let her take a cent.
felt terrible and. of course. this summer
l couldn't ask her again. 1t would have
been a great convenience to me and
know the little ri would be glad to do
it, for she loves cats, but what can you
do? / think people are SO foolish that
way"
So do l.
There are many times when gracious
acceptance of money for services rem
dered, even when the transaction Is
between friends. is the highest courtesy.
And I think those people who will not
accept such payment are selfish of OBJ
ligat on.
They want to keep the other party
eternally under obligation. And since.
as every one knows. being under too

heavy obligation Is uncomfortable, that
is really a selfish state of m.nd.
OF course, there are times when people
offer to pay for things merely out of
pol teness or sense OF duty.
But / think such offers are easily dis
cernible.
Far more often people want to pay for
services rendered, N order that they may
not feel under uncomfortab BILE obligat on.
and in order that they may feel free to
ask for these same services again some
time.
Surely in such cases the kindest. most
courteous most unsefish way is to let
them pay.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

ITO be or not to be. That is the
question"
I wonder if I'll be considered abso-
lutely hopeless if Tess up" to a, feel
ing I have long cherished without ever
daring to give utterance to 1t before
And that is that I have never been
able to have any great patience with
the gentleman who uttered the above
sentiment and who took five acts to
make up his mind about something
which an ordinary person would have
decided in five minutes, and decided
just as he did, at that.
Nor have I patience with Hamlet's
innumerable relatives in the world of
today. to whom making up their minds
on every little point seems to be moth
ing short of agony.
Some of these people suffer so much
in the effort that they are perpetually
trying to persuade other people to per-
form that function for them.
DO really want to buy this coat or
won't I wear it enough to pay?"
Shall 1 wear my blue suit or my
black?"
will we be better satisfied to move
now or to stay here until spring?''
With questions like these, which, be-
ing possessed of the fullest evidence in
the case. they are better qualified to
answer themselves than anyone else
can possibly be, they are perpetually
bombarding their unfortunate friends.
There is nothing more firing than TO
be in the company of a person. badly
afflicted with this atrophy of the de-
cision muscles.
l know a girl who once spent a vaca-
ton with a victim of this weakness,
and she gays she came horne absolute
ly exhausted from deciding everything,
from what Marion should put on in the
morning and what she should eat for
breakfast, to whether she wanted to go
to bed early or stay up and write let
tiers.
That last illustrates one of the
queerest quirks about these folks. They
don't simply ask other peoples opin-
ions on questions in which a third per-
unable, but they ask help in decision
where the only doubtful quantity is
their own need and desires.
To be so pigheaded that you never
take advice on any subject is a weak
ness, of course.
trying to make other people do your
own legitimate work of making UP
your mind for you is as great a one.
Of course. few people do this to the
extent have described, but every one
is acquainted with people who have
milder cases of this kind of atrophy.
Look before you leap is a good
motto, but it doesn't mean to take a
dozen looks and ask all your friends to
look, too, before every little leap.
Learn to make all small decisions
promptly and silently and not bother
a busy world with questions you are
quite capable of answering yourself
and you will have acquired a habit that
will strengthen both your Judgment
and your will power.

STOMACH At FAULT
Indications of Disturbed Diges.
ton Are Often Mistaken for
Other Disorders and
Cause Unneces-
Sary Alarm.

Palpitation of the heart does not i'm
ply that the vital organ is diseased.
Pain in the back does not necessarily
mean kidney disease.
Headache does not often indicate that
there is anything wrong with your
head.
All of these symptoms are caused by
stomach trouble and when thisis righted
the alarming symptoms disappear. If
you have them look to the condition
of your stomach for the cause before
you start to treat the symptoms rather
than the disease.
stomach trouble is pale and the blood
thin, the first step toward restoring the
activity of the stomach is to improve
the condition of the blood. A supply
of rich, weil-oxygenated blood is nee
essary to the processes of digestion and
with it, If errors in diet are avoided,
nature will work o cure. This is known
as the tonic treatment for indigestion
and is illustrated by the experience OF
Mrs. Kate Lasher, of No. 1918 Stinson
avenue, Rosedale, Kans. She says:
Through overwork became afflicted
with indigestion a few years ago. I
had gas on the stomach and palpitation
of the heart. became awfully thin
