"vitativeness" or love OF life. and
some Of them assume that In proper

The love of life Is much greater IN
some people than In others, and II Is
no less true that people who earnest

disease at bay much longer than those
comparatively Indifferent to their

love-to love everything and every
body that will let you love them.

very hard, and every morning before
she goes to work she says, over and

has to do she does It with every bit
OF enthusiasm she has In her. She
loves her friends for every good trait
In them. She loves her home, and
each day as she returns to It she says
a little pean Of love over every Ia
miliar bit of furniture within.

Always keep all decaying leaves and
flowers closely cropped. They are a
useless drain upon the plant Never
drop them upon the surface of the
soil They are unsightly. and form
a hiding place for insects.

Then let the city take up these plans

Slowly but surely the development OF
