READ A HALF HOUR A DAY
How a Housewife With intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought UP big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
1t is due to HalfHour club.
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was a leeway
Of "a hours, after that there was a
fine of five cents each day for fail.
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club ,,eets for
discussion Of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told of this club
says: mo one knows what 1t has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman in family of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, 1t is a big tempta.
ton to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day Of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body ans stimulated my brain,
and, best Of all, 1t has kept me from
drifting into dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially II you live In small
town Is such club Of Importance 1t
is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious
effort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club among
yours neighbours. Do not be content
with planning a half.hour reading
daily for yourself You will never hold

panionship and the broadening inter.

GRUMBLER ALWAYS WITH US
Discontinued Man Aecomplishes Some
Good, With Much Harm, Through
His Eternal Walls.

We are all natural-born grunblers
From childhood to the grave We look
for the few things that are wrong and
forget the many that are right. When
we are strong and healthy we offer no
prayer OF thanksgiving. But let us
have an ache or pain, cut finger
or a sore thumb and hear the walls
OF distress.
We expect to be healthy, happy and
well We feel that that Is an Inherit
anca 70 which we are entitled. So
we think nothing Of 1t. But how we
magnify our little troubles!
We forget that II we inherit health
so we may also have an inheritance
of suffering. If we have days Of sun
shine we must also have days OF
storm. II we expect to enjoy happi-
ness we must also anticipate hours OF
pain. II We have Joys we must also
have SORROWS.
We never voice contentment. We
always proclaim our discomfort. Hear
the cries of unrest by those who
magnify their grievances against the
present order OF things. This has
much to do with the clamor in favor
of upsetting our established form OF
government and trying experiments
| costly, unnecessary and in many In
stances foolish.
The grumblers are responsible for
the unreason, discomfort and unbe
lief that so widely prevail, 1t has
been so always from ancient biblical
times to this so-called new century Of
progress. "-Leslie's.

Lauah and Grow Fat.

Democritus, who was always laugh

years; Heraclltus, who never ceased
crying, only sixty. Laughing, then, is
best, and to laugh at another is per-

made us as they pleased, cannot help

The eradication of the cattle tick,
