The democrats will this year be
able to point to the prosperous condi-
ton Of the country as a campaign ar
gument emitting them to another
term, the same as the republicans did
in 1912. AS matter of fact, condi-
lions and not political parties make
or mar the country's prosperity, but
1t has been used as campaign slogan
by all parties since the mind of man
knoweth not, and will undoubtedly
be trotted out again this year.

SIDE TALK S
Danger Signals,
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Danger Signals.
Seems as if 1 should scream if this
car stops at the next STOP" a friend
said to me the other day.
We were riding into town on the
trolley.
"Why?" asked in surprise.
Whats the matter with the next
stop?"
Nothing at ALL said she. st just
meant that I wanted the car to go
ahead and not keep stopping"
You're in a hurry?"
"Oh, no, it just makes me nervous
to have it keep stopping. Every time
it passes a street without stopping
feel relieved"
Did you ever get into such a state
of mind as that, reader friends?
1 don't mean over the stopping of a
street car, but over anything at all?
For instance, did you ever get a
feeling of diStaste toward some per-
fectly inoffensive person? 1 know a
man who has that feeling toward d
woman with whom he is thrown into
contact. He thinks it is little things
which she does that exasperate him
little mannerisms. AS a matter of
fact she doesn't do anything different
from what she has always done, and
her mannerisms haven't changed. The
evaporation is subjective, not objec-
tive. 1t is just a state of mind into
which he has permitted himself to get.
His feeling toward her is merely a
manifestation of it, and a manifesto
ton which should be needed.
He needs to look out.
So does everybody who gets into
such a state of mind.
When you find that a squeaky door
drives you to distraction, when the
banging of a distant window shutter
makes it impossible for you to work
your instinct is to go and fix the
squeaky door or the shutter.
That's all right. Fix them, but don't
think that settles the matter. Fix
yourself, too.
tated state that trifies torment it,
there is something radically wrong
You need something-in nine cases
out of ten, more outdoor exercise or
more sleep, or both.

vous when the car stopped how much
she slept, and she said six hours a
night
The man who has the hate for the
linoffensive housemate hasn't been get
ting half the, outdoor exercise he
needs.
When your brain tells you by these
danger signals that something is
wrong, get out and walk. Walk the
walk the irritation out of your heart,
walk a good healthy WEAKNESS into
your body. and then go to bed and
sleep it off.

Reports from Washington are to

has been showed aside until after

some delightfully."- cool summer resort,
presumably, if there happens to be
such thing during any part of this
summer in these United States. And

Curly and Worry were two little
pigs who lived on a farm near the
ocean. not SO many miles from the
creek where old Mr.. Cater made his
home. They had all the good food
they could eat, plenty of brothers and
sisters and cousins to play with, and
a nice, clean place to sleep, and you
would have thought they should be
perfectly happy. But they were not.
Can you guess why? They were
miserable because they wanted to ex-
plore the world and they simply could
not get outside of their own barn lot /!
Think of that
But one day the farmer was sick
and the man who came to feed the
pigs in his place was careless and left
the gate open. Now maybe you think
that two such well-cared-for little pigs
should have stayed where they knew
they belonged, even il the gate was
open. Well, maybe they should. but
they didn't They ran out the minute
the mans back was turned and they
started down the road in such a hurry
that they were quite out of sight By
the time the man discovered his mis-
take and came back to shut the gate
Now not far from the farm was
small arm of the ocean that ran in
land like a little river. The only diff
ference was that this arm of the ocean
was tidal water" which means that
when the tide in the ocean was ''out-
the water went away and eft nothing
but mud where there had been a mar
row lake; and when the tide in the
ocean was '.in" the water all cam ,
back and covered up the mud and
made the lake deep enough to canoe
in
When Curly and Worry found the
water way, the tide was "out" and the
bottom of the lake was nothing but
mud, mud just as wet and swampy
and sticky as the pigs loved So they
waded right in and had a beautiful
time roofing for the roots of the plants
that grew in the swampy soil.
As the hours went by, Curly and
Worry wandered further and further
out into the waterway. They never
