P0LITENESS OF VALUE

suppose there is no greater good
in this world than love, kindness,
and the consideration OF others in the
home
Boys In a family where there are
no girls, owe 1t to their mother to
help her with the heavy housework.
There is nothing degrading in pushing
a washing machine or turning a
wringer. but on the contrary 1t is hon
orable service. Any boy who will let
his mother do any heavy work that
can be done by him is making a
wrong start In life and is laying up
trouble for somebody's daughter when
he narries her.
Most OF US take life too seriously
and fail to see the bright and beauti-
full side of things as we plod along
with our daily work. Cheerfulness
and the ability to be happy and make
those around us happy are not Divine
gifts, but simple heart growths that
can be cultivated at the same time we
cultivate corn and the flowers. They
are crops that pay 1000 per cent.
The most beautiful thing In the
world is a wholesome, sweet-tempered

{ ness-whose natural lovableness Is
SO irresistible that people swarm
around her like bees around a honey
suckle. She is a tonic to the Ill and
unfortunate. She Is the embodiment
OF Joy, and her friends are legion.
This girl is the one who helps her
mother-who sings at her work-who

She thinks her people are the finest
people in the world and they adore

ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday. In
these days. when efficiency" is so
general watchword in the world of
business and labor, we are finding not
so directly that man is a knave who
drinks to excess. or even at all, as that
he is a fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram OF liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t
Is capable of proof by figures and d.
agrams that the drinker OF even an
occasional glass Of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work OF both his
hands and his mind. while the habitual
drinker sows up his mental and man
ual machinery permanently. This is
the gospel of the new temperance
movement.-New Vienna Reporter.
