Every school should be arranged so

"All the young folks want is OPP
portunity to meet under proper enyi-

men how to make love, or young
women now to listen to them, but we
owe it to the race not to hinder or
pervert their natural tendencies by
improper environment"

IN THE CASE OF MENTAL FOG
Depression That May Arise From
Many Causes Is to Be Fought
OF as Dire Enemy.

We all of us have days when moth
ing seems TO go right.
You have a feeling Of utter depres-
sion come yer you.
Not because there is anything par
ticularly the matter, but you're dis
satisfied.
So you sit in a desolate hump and
wonder what's the good of anything
especially yourself, and the little
petty details of your life.
"Of what use am 1 after all?" you
say to yourself.
A kind of mental fog has taken hold
OF you and you are sitting in a mist,
SO to speak.
Well. do you know what is the very
best thing in the world for you to
do?
Get out of it quickly.
Remind yourself that every one has
these horrid moods, but every one can
master them if they will only set to
work the right way.
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 idleness or
fear, of depression or worry; the more
you think about these things the worse
they become.
Start doing some work that will
employ all your physical energies and
concentrate your mind on the subject
III hand.
If it's only making beds, make up
your mind to do it with all your might.
OF course, if you can go out for a
good walk you have a sovereign cure,
and a good many girls who go to the
city would be better in health and spir-
its If they walked at least a part OF
the way to and from their Offices.
Depression is very often caused by
i'll health, and it's quite certain that If
you continue in a mood of depression
for any length of time you need a visit
to the doctor.
In most cases depression is an Ill
just like neuralgia or headache.
And if you find yourself getting blue
SOMSlllu9S, uOu L LANE lOO hiuSh VI
l., don't, agonize about your nerves
and so on.
Give yourself, if you car, some lit
tie extra pleasure; take a girl friend
out to tea; go and see a play.
Never mind whether you feel in
clined or not, once you are there you
will enjoy yourself thoroughly and &C
home feeling ever SO much brighter
and better for the little change o.
scene and thought.
Anyway, when there are so many
nice things in the world, make up your
mind that you won't lose any Of the op
p~ortunities to help others and be hap
by by dwelling in mental gloom.-Chi

tourist trade, the market, as 1t were,
where the high Alps secure their
knickerbockered climbers. and the up

lish curates and their capped and green
hated German families. 1t is a town
which goes on in a continual turmoil
of transient visitors. The station is a

to visit Lucerne, but it is almost I'M

To some visitors Cosmopolis, as one
sees it on the Schweizerhof of Quai,
may seem TO be too preponderantly
German to deserve it's name. But it is
only fair to Lucerne to remember
that in Switzerland, which lies at least
adjacent, and in the town itself, which
is even closer at hand. is domiciled a
very considerable German-speaking
and indigenous population. Abstract
