WANT AID FABLE

Once upon a time, there was a
man who owned grindstone in a
land where dynamo impelled ma
chinery was not known.
Now this man had never owned a
roll top desk on which to drape his
pedal extremeties, nor had he ever
painted the old town red in an asth-
matte buzz wagon. Nevertheless, he
had his troubles.
When the COWS got into the corn,
the chickens into the fowerbeds and
the pigs in the vegetable garden, this
man used to sit down and with a
pencil and figure out what would
have happened if he had never been
burdened with real estate and live
stock.
1t had never occurred to him thar
there was such a commodity in the
world as a remedy.
He was always chanting dirge
and bewailing the Fate that made SO
many of his friends prosperous while
he faced ruin day after day
As he sat Eliminating and smok-
ing a pipe filled with Killioy scrap. a
Stranger by the wayside greeted
him.
The Stranger halted. and address
ing the Man. said: Il can see plain
ly right from where l am standing
that you've got a corner on all the
typhoid germs and the principal In
gradients for a first-class failure
What's sthe matter. Old Top?"
Then The Man, gazing about him
raised his voice and bewailed his fate
calling loudly on the heavens tC
avenge his wrongs.
AS he cried with a loud voice, be
hold he turned the grindstone, and
\ holding his nose close to the stone
hesought the Stranger to help him
I And, instead of turning haughtill
aside, the Stranger freely gave hin
good advice. which is always the SAT-
est and best thing to do under an.
circumstances. Said the Stranger
II hail from a land where they do
things If the cows get into the corn
we chase them out and repair tn
/ damage. If the neighbours chicken
scratch up the garden we kill tn
chickens and invite onr neighbor
to a fine dinner of broilers. Trouble
are made to- reduce to pulp. Cut on
the grindstone act; advertise you
old shack for sale"
But the Man shook his head an
continued to turn the grindstone
My father worked this way and m
grandfather, and it is good enoug
for me- Away with you'll" So tn
Stranger turned away and the ma
continued with his nose ON the grind
stone and wondering whyl Moral
This Fable teaches that the old way
OF doing things are no longer prac
ticed. The man in business no long
er holds his nose to the grindston
of tradition, trying to do things tn
old way. He uses every method O
the times, and among them all h
values highest the Want AID way.

Many fatal cases of kidneys disease

Is simply outreaching herself and no

learn more of the needs of the dit
