GOOD ADVICE.

Foolish spending is the father OF
poverty, says an exchange. Do not be
ashamed of hard work. Work for the
best salary or wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than be
idle. Be your own master, and do not
let society or fashion swallow you In.
dividually-hat, coat and boots. Do
not eat up or wear out all you can
earn. Compel your selfish body to,
spare something for profits saved. Be
stingy to your appetite. but merciful
to others necessities. Help others,
and ask no help for yourself. See that
you are proud, too! Let that pride
be of the right kind. Be too proud to
be lazy; too proud to give up without
conquering difficulty; too proud to
wear coat you can't afford to buy;
too proud to be in company you can
not keep up with in expense; too
proud to be stingy.

CURING THE BLUES.

One of the best ways to cure your.
self when you feel cross or miserable
or discouraged is to go and do some
thing for somebody else.
Never yield to a mood of idieness
of fear, of depression or worry. The
more you think about these things the
worse they become.
Start doing some work that will EN-
ploy all your physical energies and
concentrate your mind on the subject
In hand.
There are so many nice things in
the world, 30 make up your mind that
you won't lose any of the opportuni
ties to help others and be happy by
dwelling in mental gloom.

A Question of
Education.

The mail order houses have syste-
matically educated the public that
it is easier to drop a letter In the
postoffice than to hitch up and drive
one or five or ten miles to get an
article, even il they have to wait
two or three weeks for 1t. The
time has now come for the small
merchant to reap an advantage from
this fact for himself. Using the
parcel post he can ship goods to
customers within his zone cheaper,
quicker and generally more satisfac-
torily than any one else can do 1t.
