BY Ebert HUBBARD.

TERE is the outline of a new
n party The truths it ex-
presses are the oldest
known to man.
It is at once political, social,
economic, ethical. commercial
and religious
Women and children are eligi-
Bile and vote the same as men.
No one is too old and none too
young to join Your past record
will not count against you, I'M
less you are too boastful of It.
There are no rites Of initiation
no Angoras to ride-and you
can never be put out Of the party
unless you hand in your resigna-
ton to your cosmic self.
Here is the basis Of the Com
nonsense Party; cheerfuness'
Courtesy. Kindness, Industry,
Health, Patience, Economy.
There are two ways to live
tust two-one way right and one
wrong. If your life benefits hu-
manitv you are on the right
track: but if you are bother, a
worry. a menace and a burden to
the world you are on the wrong
route and will soon be up
against IT,"
Everybody and everything will
have it in for you, because you
viii have it in for yourself. Then,
when you begin to repine, your
bodily health viii wane, and in
ertia and weakness will seize you
hand and foot.
Weakness is the only slavery
Freedom is the supreme good
freedom from self-imposed limi-
tations.
Nature on Your Side.

The CommonsenSe Party and It's
Platform

s. know that none Of us are so very
good-certainly not good enough
to be put in a glass case.
The Commonsense Man knows
that he must get eight hours
sleep; that he must not overeat:
that he must give out good will
If he is to get It back; that he
must exercise in the open air
every day If he is to keep well;
and he realizes that If he does not
keep well he will be more or less
Of a nuisance to everybody in his
vicinity, and that he Will fail ut
terly in getting his share Of
health, wealth and happiness.
Always Winners.
Commonsense folks do not Dor
row trouble or small sums of
money, anticipating pay day.
They live within their means, pay
their debts, accept what comes
and are thankful that things are
not worse.
They are cheerful losers, and
cheerful losers are always WIN
ners.
Folks who belong to the Com
nonsense Party are healthy,
hearty, happy and always have all
the money they need-even II not
all they want. They attract con-
fdence, love, success and they
succeed because they Just can't
help It.
Commonsense folks know that
every duty well done makes the
next duty easier to do. They also
know that those who never DO
any more than they get paid for
never get paid for any more than
they do.
Come, get in line and Join tho
Commonsense Party! Be one with
the people Kipnng tells Of, who
do their work and hold their peace
"a part Of the time, at least.
Are you with us? If so, open a
savings hank account and deposit
the dues Of the Commongense
Party-a dollar a week or more
to your own credit and watch
the account grow It is yours.
Remember. you are the center Of
your own local center. also It's
president secretary and treasur-
er, You are the Captain Of your
Soul. However, you are always
to give the high-sign and COOP
crate with all other Common
sense Party centers, knowing fun
well that YOU can only help your
self as you help others
