Will Power Is Sure Cure to Drive
Them Away.
How often do you open your eyes In
the morning upon day whose outlook
seems really too discouraging Ia bp
faced, when the whole world seems
a mixture Of lampblack and bluing.
when your friends are viewed with a
jaundiced eye and your family seems
sadly In need of reformation. when the
air you breathe seems laden with
microbes and the sunlight Ia filtered
through a cloud of woe and your
thoughts about things In general are
unfit for publication?
What Is the matter with you? What
Is the difference between yourself of
yesterday and yourself Of today? "Oh.
WELL" you say. '1've got the blues;
that's what's the matter with me-"
And you assume the air of one who
walks alone. shrouded in your own ex-
elusive individuality: the laughter Of
the light hearted sounds ribaId In your
ears. and doom and despair and canker
and grief are your portion.
In such a state Of mind how disgust

have been under the Influence Of some
emotion Of anger or worry. Don't you
know that a continued state Of hatred
will profoundly modify tissue and all
physiological functions? Don't you
know that the ptomaipe generated by
hatred ia one Of the deadIiest poisons
known to science and that. on the

To use the actual language Of

go along with the party, put up job

The Milwaukee Daily News: That
the real meaning Of the Christmas
spirit is sinking in and coming ont
more and more rs civilization and
Christianity grows older is shown by
the cartoons and other seasonal feat
ureS Of the news. In years past there
was a good deal of holly wreaths and
Christmas trees and happy home chill
dren shown in the drawings, Now the
other side is being shown the side that
should draw pity from the human
heart.
This year much attention is given IN
these drawings and other seasonal
features to the poor, to the children,
the inhrm aud the aged, who know not
Christmas, to whom the gentle, spirit
OF generosity and love is a mockery.
And the number OF societies, aside from
the organized or church charities,
which have for their object volunteer
helping of those who cannot help them
subsequently, tae children are in.
creasing.
Nor do these societies or drawings
appeal only for the physical needs.
Their object is to bring Santa Claus, in
the chiidreu's meaning of the dear old
saint, to those who without such help
would know him as vague myth only
to make him real saint of the cheerful
season. They would carry the spirit Of
Christmas into every home ana 70
every one in that home.
1t is noble to help the distressed, to
meet their needs, aud it is just rs noble
TO put into the barren, childish heart
the spirit, the joy, the love that is 4
lifelong power, spirit which drives
out barrenuess and chill and brings
warmth and happiness, ana leaves a
memory cherished forever.
The real Christmas spirit is spread
ing, may it spread far and never rest,
