LAUGH Away the Clouds.

Mistakes are to be laughed at. IL
one were to take seriously every little
mistake he made life would become q
burden to him. Laugh at your own lit
tie mistakes, and do not feel grieved
ii others laugh at them. Laughing will
help you remember to avoid them an
other time quite as well as giving
away to serious regrets. Some peo-
pie are forever taking themselves to
task for some shortening. They are
the over-conscientious ones Ii we act
foolishly on the impulse of a moment,
it is no more fair to punish ourselves
than to punish child for little mis-
take. 1t is right to look for the error
and acknowledge it. If one has
wronged another, he ought to confess
it and be more careful; then put 1t out
of mind. To grow morose and solemn
is to commit a second fault. No one
is doing any good to himself or others
by constantly eating the bread Of peni-
tence The only time to remember a
mistake is when one is tempted again
to the same fault. Daily and hourly
keeping up self-reproach one is worn
out. This does not mean never to
listen to the warnings Of conscience,
but to see the fault, start afresh and
keep cheerful and hopeful.

opening the cases in which they were
shipped. First he encountered re-

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S
SKIN

In the care of baby's skin and hair.
Cuticura Soap is the mothers IA
vorite. Not only is 1t unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-

and chatting, soothe sensitive condi-

health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment of eczemas, rashes and

Since the Connecticut game law
went into effect there has been much
trouble along the state line over
Rhode Island shooters coming over

Two Providence men were fined

they hadn't caught any.

Never had his innocuous and but

the room with all the nonchalant hab-

that morning a vice-president OF the
Valiant Corporation-one Of the great
est and most successful Of modern
day organizations; he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning, had
toppled to it's fall
How solid and changeless it had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
so dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings, it had stood as a very Glib
raltar of finance, a type and sign OF
brilliant organization. Now, on the
heels of a trusts dissolution which
would be nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like card
board. The rains had descended and
the floods had come, and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
in his revolving chair and was looking
at the trim athletic back plotting the
daylight, with a smile that was little
short of a covert sheer. He was one
of the local managers of the corpora

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.

NOT SPOILED BY POSITION
President of the French Republic
Pleased to Greet Humble Com
panion of His Boyhood.

A pretty little incident that throws
a pleasing light upon the character of
the president of France occurred re-

French bar to President Poincare.
At the close of the dinner M. Poin-
care called up the waiter who had
watched over his comfort. Thank
you. Jacques" he said quietly, and
shook him by the hand. At the same
time the president managed to slip a
bank note into the walters palm.
q won't have it," cried jacques,
and to the amusement and astonish-
nent of the guests there ensued a
friendly struggle between the waiter
and the president of the republic.
Nj. Poincare ended the amicable dis

mans pocket and good-natdredly slap
ping him on the back. The waiter
could not resist this sincere geniality,
and finally, after another handshake.

ENERGY FROM A SUGAR DIET
Experiments Have Shown That 1t Has
a Wonderful Effect Upon the
Human Body.

The psychologist who discovered
that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has been supposed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved in
water as an excellent surgical dress
ing for all sorts of wounds.
Drs. Jacques Pansot and Pierre
Matthew have declared that when ami
mails eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then fall
away again as the diet continues.
DR.. H Heald of Tacoma Park, D. c.,
disagrees with the laboratory findings.
He says sugar is comparable to gaso-
line. AS the latter is the fuel of the
internal combustion engine, SO sugar
is the fuel of the human machine.
Sugar, he says, is the staff of life,
and man can produce more energy
from sugar than from any other food.

cialist has lately proved the efficacy
