TO WANT WHAT
YOU HAVE WHEN
YOU'VE GOT IT
Discomfort Spreads Wave of
of Unhappiness In the
World.

D RMATHINq a youthful pessimism
~ that would be amusing If 1t were
not so pathetic, little letter has
come to me with demand that / give
to the writer "cure for discomfort"
and that l tell her whether 1t is .
divine unrest" or merely wrecked
nerves" which has turned all her
daily life to boredom.
II haven't anything to really mako
me unhappy" she writes. "but there
doesn't seem to be anything in Life
that is worth while, and the foolish
enthusiasms of other girls fill me
with a sort OF contempt.
Il used to think 1t would be fina
when l was grown UP and could stop
school, but now find it isn't any
pleasure, the people know seem ura-
interesting and all the things that I
think want / find / don't care for
when get them. What ought l to
DOT" -
Do? What can she do except learn
the lesson which all of us must learn
nowadays, and that is not to want
what We want when we want it." but
to want what we've got when we've
got it."
The discomfort of which the little
girl writes to me exists for the ma
tority of women and girls who have
not some ambition or some work
which fills their life, and the only cure
for it is to turn the discomfort into
a spurt toward some great goal of en-
deayor that will make the idle hours
busy ones and give you something,
either fad or dream of fame or
success, to think about
The pessimism or irritation-call 1t
what you will-that makes what we
have seen inadequate, is born usually
of idleness. and the cure for it is work
and determination to count one by
one in our own hearts the things that
make life brighter and better.
Instead of trying to analyze the
bitter drop under the little luxurIes
or comforts or joys that have come
to us, accept them as part of Won
derful whole that makes each day
happier.
TO be contemptuous of it either in
others or yourself, and make up your
mind once and for all to. as I said
before, Want what you've got when
you've got it."
Joy and pride in personal posses
sions bring a glow to the heart that
nothing else does, and while this Joy
Is intensified and usually lasts longer
If our endeavors have won us the
thing longed for, even the things
which come to q girl surrounded by
the comforts Of luxurious home
should be appreciated because they
are hers"
For, after all, discomfort is in a ma
yortty OF cases only a state of mind
due to our own habits of introspec-
ton and searching for the shadows
instead Of the sunshine of life. and II
is a habit that is often begun by
girls because they think 1t more
grown up" and, once the habit Is
formed, to regain the enthusiasm
which should be theirs is a long and
difficult task.
AS we grow older We learn more oi
the happiness that lies in getting the
little things We want, and we learn
the happiness that comes from de-
termined effort to see the bright side
OF life; but we have to keep trying
and SO must my youthful correspond.
ent keep trying to fill her life with
duties which will end the idle mo.
ments when the unhappy thoughts
creep in.

Fllet MIgnon

A perfectly round riece of tenderloin
was surrounded with sauce bearnaise,
filed with finely minced chervil. The
New York cooks seem to take to the
profuse use Of chervil, and do believe
that but few of our housekeepers
are familiar with it. 1t is a welcome
change from parsley and onion, and
as 1t may be found now at all the vege-
table markets, 1t is not difficult sug-
gestion to adopt.

SOME WOMEN THAT
We ALWAYS AVOID

The wife who confides all her diff
hculties with her husband.
The woman who tells you how Ill
you look as a prelude to talking of
her own health.
The girl who talks in adjectives and
exclamation points.
The matron who talks about the
babies all the time.
The woman with theories Of food
and how to eat 1t.
The girl who picks at your clothes
and fiddles with your jewelry while
she talks to you.
The would-be pessimist who talks
cheap cynicism because she thinkn
IT'S "smart."
The girl who boasts of her con-
quests of men.
The woman who repeats unkind re-
marks.

"I see that the census report says
your town has gained 5000 per cent

YES" he replied. "the place is
so crowded now that it won't sup

won't support chair dealer?"
l repeated, wondering what he was
driving at.

demand for his wares: we have
standing room only"

To Brighten Room

If one is living in a room where
there are not many windows try
hanging mirrors on the opposite wall
from the windows.
They make the room brighter on a
dark, gloomy day and you can see
reflections in the mirrors from the
trees or people passing by outside.

Penitentiary Cells Opened

To test the honor of convicts the
cells of the Texas penitentiary are left
unlocked and inmates are free to go
and come to their work without being
guarded. The convicts are employed
on Of state farms. All but two guards
have been dismissed at Rusk prison,
and the same plan will be tried at
Huntsville. So far no convict has es-
capped.

DECORAH IN SAME CLASS AS
NEW YORK.

When it comes to moving pictures
DEBORAH is right in line with the big
ones. For the first time in the his
tory of New York theatricals, one Of
the big Broadway theatres last week
devoted the whole week to the pre-
sentation exclusively to the produc-
ions of the Famous Players Film Co.
The films presented were Tess of
the D'Ubervilles" Caprice, THE
Day of Days, In The Bishops Car
.riage", "A Lady of Quality" and
Chelsea 1850"
The Princess has already present
ed four of the above to DEBORAH au-
diences and the other two are COM
ing soon. Further more they were
presented at about one-third the
prices the New Workers paid.
The Famous Players Film Co. has
just announced Frohman and Henry
w. Savage for the exclusive rights
to produce all their great plays in
pictures. This means that such pro
ductions as The Merry Widow,

learn of their welfare. Mrs. Halver-
son and | often speak of our friends

attended school and of the many en-
joyable times we had, specially at
the literary societies. Those were
days when not so much thought was
given to the future. 1t was the pres
ent time" get our lessons and then
all for good time, good times more

it is business day after day, though
we have agreed not to deny our
selves of some pleasure and plan to

as ever Kenyon, the town we live
in is very enterprising little City To-
Gated on the main line of the Chicago
oreat Western Ry, and on the G. M.
& st. p. Ry. We have a good class
of business men that believe in a
clean moral life and no saloons. The
citizens having won the race for the
last three years, voting them out in
our recent election by a majority of
ninety votes. Everybody still doing
good business and our three banks
with nearly one million on deposit.
So we are far from being a dead
town which is the general rumor
when saloons go out.
Den syttende Mai celebration
which takes place in Minneapolis will
undoubtedly bring several of the De-
corahians up there. We hope some
of our friends will be among them
and shall hope to meet them. We
live only fifty miles to the south of
the Twin Cities, just an hour and
thirty minutes ride on the limited
trains and we can go there on six
different trains daily so we have fine
railroad facilities.
Nuff said; the editor will now
surely say so; ii he will be kind
enough to permit space for this letter
l will promise not to bother him
again and in closing wish to say to
friends and relatives that we wish
to bear them greetings that we are
well and happy. With kindest re-
CARDS. II. H. Halverson.

NEIGHBORLY ADVICE
Freely Given by Ladysmith Citizen

When one has suffered tortures
from a bad back and found relief
from the aches and pains, that per-
sons advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
neighborly advice comes from a La
dysmith resident.
G. w. Daniels, Ladysmith, Wis,
says ''Doan's Kidney Pills are worth
their weight in gold. Just twenty-five
years ago I began to suffer with my
back and kidneys. had a dull, heavy
ache in the small of my back and
was so weak and lame across my
loins that it would nearly kill me to
stoop over or straighten. At night
had to get up every fifteen minutes
to pass the kidney secretions. If
left the secretions standing, they de-
posted sediment l really thought
was going to have Bright's disease
and I couldn't get anything that
would help me until 1 used Doan'
Kidney Pills. They acted like magic
and it seemed no time before the
pain, lameness and weakness in my
back had left and my kidneys were
all right. That was several years age
and l haven't had any trouble to
speak of since. When I feel a little
weakness in my back or my kidneys
show signs of fault, I take dose Oh
two of Doan's Kidney Pills. They
fix me up all right every time"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Daniels had. Foster Milburn
