expectedly and do harm to themselves,
and sometimes irreparable damage to
others. There is no reason why any
one should have an ungovernable tenn
per- 1t is simply a bad habit. Those
who lose their temper lose the respect
Of those about them and invite trou-
BILE. It has been well said that IF re-
ligion has done nothing for your tenn
per- it has done nothing for your SOUL"
The person who is constantly getting
into a passion is constantly belittltng
himself Rage destroys reason! To
be slave to passion is to soon know
myself as a fool. The measure of
greatness is self-control; and that is
the better part of wisdom. To have
a hair-trigger disposition, is g worse
deformity than having a hair lip. 1t
is the timber tongue that stirs up
strife-while silence makes one in
vincible. Don't be touchy! Learn to
be calm and you will find yourself liv-
ing in more endurable and a more
wholesome atmosphere.
Most people in this world entertain
the wrong idea Of tackling work. They
have an idea that the easiest job is
it is always the best policy to- get the
most Objectionable or most difficult
job out of the way first. That which
we dread wears and worries the more
it is put off. That which is most try
ing is best put out of the way at once.
The softest snap is always evidence
of a lack of energy and determination.
Wherever you turn in life you behold
that success is to the plucky. You
remember the maxim: Nothing ven
tured, nothing have" At the begin
ming of the day energy and determine
ton are at high pressure and that is
the time to tackle something worth
tackling. Do not let the ghost of any
task haunt you-perform the task and
avoid the ghost. Keep your tackle
right.
IL is good thing to cultivate a
knowledge of New Thoughts. but it
is a. better thing to know how to ap-
ply New Thought in Home Life" as
a means of overcoming discord and
sustaining harmony, and a unity of
feeling and expression which tells for
peace and prosperity. Mrs. Elizabeth
Towne, the evangeI Of better thought
better life and better days, has just
printed a book of 1S9 pages in her
plain and inspiring style, in which she
has answered almost every conceivable
question relating to home life, to the
problems of husbands, wives and chill
dren. Here are a few of the titles of
the thirty-nine chapters: Help for the
Drudging Wife" Marriage as a Bus
mess Partnership" Finance in the
Home" How to Teach Your Chill
dren the Value of Money" How Faith
er and Mother Can Best Train the
Baby" The author assumes that the
world treats all of US better than we
deserve: and teaches her readers to
avoid the spots in life that gall and
to cherish the thoughts which make
for progress and happiness. Send S1.10
to The Elizabeth Towne Publishing
Co., Hoiyoke, Mass, and this helpful
book will be mailed to you.
The speaker who usually gets public
commentator is the one who can say
things which sound well and mean
nothing Listeners do not enjoy dis
turbing ideas, or thoughts which re-
quire attention and time to interpret
them. Words which please and soothe
sentiments which put the auditors to
sleep-are most popular. How a polit-
ical orator can make hot air take the
form of cheering promisesi He seems
to do it with the ease that a smoker
can blow smoke into rings, and they
have no more enduring quality. He
challenges you to find the promise, and
you discover there was none The de-
signing man thinks all he speaks, but
he does not speak all he thinks. 1t
was TaIleyrand who defined speech as
"a faculty given to man to conceal his
thoughts" If man should say all he
thinks, the friction of life would be
increased tenfold. The only thing that
can make man impenetrable is silence
When the newly married man breaks
silence and tells his wife just what he
thinks Of her, the honeymoon has come
to an end and the regular issues of life
must be taken up. This is why some
Homogeneous last a good deal longer
than others. When a mate places be-
fore you plain word picture of your
self it is readily to be seen that il
needs retouching. If husbands came
near the feminine ideal we should
never have been referred to as mere
man" The man who thinks he is
monarch of all he surveys is never
anything less than a source of amuse-
ment for the ladies. 1t is a historical
fact that little women have made great
men vince. 1t is not easy to divine
why our real opinions of one another
should get away from us, and in such
perfect form, too. though they seldom
produce perfect joy. How much nicer
life would be if we all measured up tc
expectations.
We cannot readily explain why we
sleep or why we wake, or why some
can invoke sleep at any hour of the
day, while others find it difficult tc
sleep at any hour of the night. Toe
much sleep, or too little indicates ar
unhealthy condition of the body. Anat-
omistS tell US sleep depends upon the
nerves, and when these little electrical,
filaments of the brain disconnect we &C
to sleep, and when they again touch
points we wake up; and this automatic
action of the nerves follows WEAKNESS
that we may rest, and rest that we may
enjoy and employ our new energies
How much sleep is best for US no one
has yet determined. The Duke of Wei
Hngton was of the opinion that "wher
one turned over in bed it was time tt
turn out" and Edison feels sure foul
hours in tweEty-four are all that il
| required to recuperate our energies
