COUNTRY VS.. TOWN LIVING.

Doubtless, in your reading and as
sociations, you have been often re-
minded that most of the really big
things, the great ideas and the i'm
mortal thoughts. were born close to
nature-that they came from the
country, says the Woman's World for
June. Most of all progress had-and
has-its roots in rural life. So here,
too. we find the conditions OF sancr
living. We cannot do without cities:
they are magnificent and stupendous.
but they grind out human life as mer-
cilessly as any machine and have no
time to bother with those who cannot
keep the pace. Fine institutions? Oh:
yes. But what Is a hospital to a
broken spirit? What Is a library tc
the man or woman who loses hold.
And what are al the charities to the
family that has begun to slip back ?.
The city cannot bother with such cases
as these.
But you may say that wages are
better In the city. that life moves
more quickly. that opportunities are
larger. Granted in part. but not en-
tirely. Life certainly has more ex-
element in cities, but excitement all
the time is bad for any human being.
City wages are larger, and continuous
changes give more Opportunities tor
advancement. but at the end of tile
year, when tho average city worker
counts up. there il. q different story.
1t has cost more not only in money
but in wear and tear. Did you ever
realize how every city il crowded with
doctors-and Thousands of them have
their automobiles? City people pay
not only for the doctors and the auto
mobiles but for the drug stores and
all the Astounding exhibits Of health
| cost. 1t is an interesting problem
which your own eyes may SEQ and
your own mind grasp.
In the country the prizes may not
be SO glittering. but on the whole, life
is fuller and happier and more worth
while. and with the increase that has
| come to the farms and the small
towns 1t is q close question as to the
larger profit. As q business propoas-
ton. the country today proves itself
Az q general living proposition, there
= NO serious comparison. mo coun-
| try means fresh food. time for the do
ing of work. the health and Joy Of
children, the delights Of old an, MT
ting its rocking chairs ana ii corners.

and all the other things that count IN
making the years ripe and fruitful.
There - time for love. too. time for
human interest. time for sympathy
Have you ever known the loneliness
Of q great city? There u no mleory
like It. Turn from 1t and seek the
country where you have neiehbors to
say kind words when you are well and
to come over and offer to help when
you are IN.

Nor can there be any doubt about the

hesitate about taking such a step.
