A W..oTE OF ENERGY.

- Wt.S E. VT NGhh u 'Isr
To fret over things which you can,
not help is a most ridiculous waste OF
energy. Anyone will acknowledge
that. And yet how few people there
are who possess the strength of mind
not to do it.
was calling on woman the other
day who has not been well since her
lest baby was born, The doctor has
told her that the only way she can get
back to normal is to take things easy.
II she over.tires herself just now, he
says, the consequence may be i'm.
paired vitality for the rest OF her life
Unfortunately the family financial
condition is not such that this woman
can have anyone to help her, and the
only way to take it easy is to let things
90 right and left. One would think
that for the sake Of all the future
years she would be glad TO do This.
On the contrary, she is constantly fret.
ting because she cannot keep things
up as she is used 10 having them. She
deluged me with complaints and apol-
ogies. "Just look at those curtains;
they ought not to go a day longer
without washing, and yet can't do it.
1t worries me So" 81 hope you didn't
notice how dirty that hall carpet is;
IT frets me every time 90 out there"
etc.
Just think how much this woman is
retarding her recovery by Gretting
about these things which she cannot
help!
Undoubtedly 1t is one OF the hardest
duties of many a housewife to school
herself not to fret about those things
which she has not the time nor
strength to do. Few women have the
strength and leisure to keep their
homes as immaculate as they would
like to. Tasks which they know they
ought to do, and which they would
really like 10 do If they only had the
time and vitality are constantly star
ling them in the face. "My idea of hap
piness," once heard housewife say
lis a place where the days are long
enough for me to get all want to dc
done, and where I'll have the strength
to do it with.
Some housewives, when confronted
with tasks beyond their strength sim
ply rise up and do them whether OF
mot, sacrificing on the altar Of good
housekeeping, health and nerves and
the rights OF husbands and children.
| Others are not quite insane enough
to do this, but they are almost as fool
ish, fer they waste nearly as much Vi
tally Tretting and worrying because
they cannot do these things.
A few very wise women do whai
lthey have strength and time to do and
train themselves to think as little as
possible about the rest.
To which class do you belong?

We found business in the towns

the volume of business done by
the majority Of the merchants

compare in any way favorably
with that of our merchants. in
fact we were surprised to note
the difference when we returned
