HAPPINESS.
HAPPINESS.
M 1Nla0 6oW

/ love! Give tit is the story of the ten
talents-give and it comes back to you
! tenfold. Hoard and you starve.
! Did you ever stop to think that only
sick, insane or unhappy people commit
crimes? One cannot read the news Of
the day or keep in Touch with the con-
! ditions of life without an extreme long
| ing to help those who suffer because
| they are unhappy.
| Most great wrongs are done to self
| rather than to others.
/ Would you lift the world from crime?
| Then send 1t happiness. Teach others
how to be happy-how TO pass happiness
! onto reach out from self.
Cnhappiness is selfish: IT is the result
of being self-centered. The little orbit
of our lives seems to US so important
that We fear the effect of any new
thought or growth. The self-centered per-
| son lives in fear of what this one that
one may say or do. Every upward ef-
| fort is paralyzed.
| Put self in the background and the sun
| shines forth-you have been standing
in the darkness of your own shadow.
| Stand out from under. Walk out of self
into the bread light of day-out of the
dead ashes of the past into a higher and
! holier living
You cannot be happy by merely affirm
Ing that You will. You must reach out
| for the right thoughts-you must be do
ing. Usefulness is the governing law
happiness never yet was attained in idle
ness.
\ merry heart doeth good like a medi-
| cine-but broken spirit drieth the bones.

all questions relating to her department
as promptly as possible. AS it will not
be practicable to print an answer to
every inquiry. a stamped envelope should

Quinsy.
3. II. writes: My daughter has had
quinsy every winter for five years Is
there anything ! can do to ward off the
attacks? Should I give calomel:
Keep up her general health by exer-
cise fresh air and regularity of simple,
nourishing food. Keep her bowels reg
ulated. Upon the first indication call
your physician. His first treatment
will probably be to give her calomeI
followed in about six TO eight hours
with saline purGative to thoroughly
cleanse the digestive tract. Often the
physician gives a ten gain dose of
quinine with the calomel. You can use
the simple remedy of reducing the in
flammation through steaming the
throat. Boil a cup of water in a small
teakettle. and put in a half teaspoon
full of tincture of benzoin. Wrap
clean cloth about the mouth of the ket-
tie. take the end of the spout in the
mouth and inhale the steam. Do this
every hour for ten minutes at a time
until the throat is easier. Quinsy is
inflammation of the membrane around
the tonsil and nothing allays inflam-
nation like heat. If pus forms, your
physician will lance the affected part
Honey.
Mrs. S. H. C.-By all means allow
your child a free use of honey Honey
carries no such detrimental effects as
the over-indulgence in sweets made
from sugar. 1t may be used freely for
throat affections. 1t is quickly con-
verified into vital force. II is a par
ticularly valuable food if your child's
digestion is weak. 1t may be used to
sweeten his breakfast foods. and on
bread it makes an excellent substitute
for butter and sugar.
