Smile A Day Keeps
The Doctor AWay
Blanche Ring Believes That
Gentle Art of Smiling
is a Cure All.
BY Blanche Ring.

By blanche KING.
Show me the man or woman whose
smile begins in the heart and is re
Elected on the face and | will tell you
without asking that doctors and medi-
cine play only unimportant parts IN
that persons life.
The dyspeptic. the idle woman
whose only occupation is enjoying
poor health. and whose heart goes
wrong the minute she is crossed in
anything, seldom smiles
Every fTown and every sigh add a
tiny wrinkle or an almost imper-
ceptible line to the face, while
smile does more to eradicate the raw
ages of time than all the prepare
tiOnS OF beauty doctors who ever
lived. The smile is the real fountain
OF perpetual youth.
The man or woman who looks only
ON the bright side of life never grows
old. ! found that out one day last
summer when / went To call on some
one described as "a dear old lady of
90" of course 1 expected 70 see a
kind of animated fossil who would
sigh feebly and have something TO
say about the expected visit of the
angel of death.
But when the wrinkled face was
turned to mine 1 saw a smile that
had all the freshness of youth, and
and happy as that Of a carefree girl
with life and its beautiful POSSIBLE
ties before her, and l knew that my
friends were wrong, and that this
wasn't old age at all, but youth that
had endured in spite OF the flight of
time.
One of the most beautiful and hope
full notices l ever saw was Smile
IA mn S11pi1 Ia hi r1, hrrra in
business mans office The man him
self was worth a million, but he still
smiled and the result was that all his
employees were prosperous and happy
Every time he raised their wages or
did something for their amusement
he smiled, because he thought it was
such joke on other rich men around
him who thought they were getting
just as much out of their workmen
for less money, and who were wrong.
You can always smile if you look
at thing from the right viewpoint
The young man just beginning life
who has been discharged from his job
his tirst-because of incompetency
should smile. because the joke is on
the boss, who didn't know a good
thing when he had it. Then all the
boy has To do it To go TO work in
earnest and prove TO himself and
others that his was the right way of
looking at It,
The girl whose more fortunate
friend has a new hat of which she is
very proud-and shows it-and which
puts her own last years one, made
over at home, completely in the shade
can smile all the envy out of her
heart and at the same time add so
much real. wholesome beauty to her
face that her own millinery looks
quite beautiful to the young fellow
who doesn't know a thing about a hat
but who can be won SO easily with a
smile.
When hubby comes tiptoeing in
very, very late at night, if wiley
smiles before he even begins the
splendid explanations he has been re-
hearsing from the time he succeeds
In finding the keyhole until he softly
opens the bedroom door and finds her
awake, If she tells him how glad she
is TO see him, instead OF putting him
through the third degree as to where
ne has been and what he has been
doing, the chances are that the next
tlme ne wants little recreation
after his days work she will be in
cluded in the festivities.
Let the tired business man. the ner-
Nous woman, and the sweet young
girl who is sometimes impatient and
fretful' all try my wonderful preven-
tive and marvellous cure. Ii is very
simple. Begin with a resolve TO smile
every time you are tempted to a hastv
word or a selfish thought. Give il a
Ialr trial, Just as you would any other
treatment, and YOU will be surprised
to find how YOU Will feel both men
tally and bodily.
OF course life cannot be all smiles:
but. just as the sunshine of a summer
day is all the brighter because of an
occasional tempest, So a little flash
or spirit now and then only makes
brighter the smiles that precede and
follow il.
