DOCTOR I had better consult and she
said YOU would be the one for me to

When she said something about the

talking to Dan Johnson, Jack Scar

that I feel as il I knew you and can
talk confidentially. l am asking
Won as a favor to tear this letter up
after you have finished reading 1t as

hands. Confidentially, dear doctor,
went out auto riding the other
night with a very prominent young
gentleman. one of Lakeland's finest
hovs. It was a grand moonlight
night and both Of us were transport
ed into a heaven of bliss until the
rude awakening came. We were rid
ing around Lake Morton when l felt
a pair of lips being pressed to mine.
Imagine my anger when the Buick
hit one of those awful bumps in the
road and felt something sharp
pierce my upper lip. 1t was W.

dreadful. I have used every kind OF
medicine imaginable but / think
there still must be a piece OF the

from The Railway Age, which pre-

existing between the railroads and
their employees. 1t is hardly neces-

that we do not endorse the article

With fourteen countries now, at war
in Europe, 1t would seem that, on
the theory Of "the harder the shower
the sooner it's over" the great con-
fiict would soon draw to a close. On
the one side we have Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria;
on the other, Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy, Belgium, Serbia, Mon
tenegro, Portugal, japan and Ru-
mania. Greece also doubtless will
join in the conflict in short time.

HOT WEATHER RULES
OF coNDucT-THE KIND
THAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
DAILY, WITH PROFIT
By Helen worthingtOn

BY Helen W0rInlnst0H
Even the sweetest dispositions are
likely to become rufied during the ex-
lcessiye heat which has been our por-
ton recently. - -
The exceedingly hot days are most
trying to all, even though one does
lendeayor to keep sailing"
And the rush sand tumble Of. busy
everyday life we do many things that
drritate Others. = '-*
In rubbing up against the world and
dts trials and tribulations we ire
lquently lose sight of tact.
Sometimes we forget the polish and
che tiny courtesies which makes the
wheels Of daily existence run smooth
Iy.
1t is difficult to be always on our
best behavior-especially when the
disagreeable features obtrude.
And when even the weather steps
in to put added obstacles in our path
at is that much harder.
But that is the time that we should
be the most alert-least we offend
or cause heartaches where it is farth-
crest from our thoughts or intentions
to give sorrow or pain.
Some rules found in an old maya
zine would assist materially in get
ting over the rough places.
TOO warm to live by rule you
say?
| Ah!-that's just the occasion when
they will prove most helpful-and by
putting them in a convenient place
where you, can glance at them each
morning you will soon absorb them
then it will not be long before you
will act upon them unconsciously.
Here they are-excellent each one:
Never show your temper.
Indulge in no sarcasms.
Permit other persons to have
views.
"Never contradict an irritated per-
son.
Keep unpleasant opinions to your.
self.
BE considerable of the rights and
feelings Of others.
always use pleasant words.
Take time to be polite.
BE gracious and accommodating.
always grant a reasonable request.
"And be sure your way is best be.
fore insisting upon it."
1t requires thought, of course to do
all these things-regardless of cir
cumstances, including the tempera-
ture.
/ But wouldn't the results be worth
the effort?
Just bit of concentration-with
practice-all that is required.
If you are inclined to be hasty-
hesitate!
Each Of the above rules have SO
much of worth in them, and If they
are carefully followed how much un-
Ipleasantness-yes, even unhappiness
and suffering-would be spared.
We are never too old to learn-or
to begin at the bottom to improve
not only ourselves but our conduct to
others.
If we would grow old gracefully
and be beloved when we have lost the
first blush of youthfully, it behooves
us to commence at once to put these
principles into operation.
But the young man or woman-or
the tiniest child-will profit also If
they observe them all their days-as
will those with whom they come III
contact.
And-INDULGE IN NO SAR.
CASMS-for sarcastic remarks have
been known to ruin the most treas
uredship-and even nearer ties.
Remember thisi
