SMILE AND NEVER
MIND THE WRINKLES.

MIND NE WRINKLES.
S. Lee Frazier in Los Angeles Herald
After the storm is the calm. After
rain, sunshine. After darkness, day
light.
One extreme follows another.
1t is prosperity today and adversely
tomorrow. Joy travels close oil tins
heels OF SORROW and vice versa. Tears
and cheers almost interE:ingle. Today
we are a Sunny Jim, tomorrow q
Gloomy Gus.
1t all seems to be in the nature OF
things. However. We should aim e
avoid extremes. Be an even. everyda!
kind OF fellow. Such a person wears
but doesn't wear out.
OF course. as matters are we have
10 fool little. whine little. worry
n little. cry a little and kick a little
but for the love Of Charley Chaplin
let's not make It our business.
Laugh and grow fat. Just think how
good God is and rejoice that you ART
a man and not an ape. Make the old
world little brighter and so a little
better each day. Make someone hap
py. Smile and never mind the wrin
kles. Get in touch with your fellow
man. Get In line. Rub elbows. Get
the stride. Look TO the front. There
is beauty everywhere. Be glad you
are alive.
1t is all so easy II we only get our
selves in the proper frame OF mind
Try II, you old crank. Shed your mask
of gloom and that cloak of dispair
Kick old man Worry out OF doors and
invite little Miss Cheerful in. Knocl
the chip from your own shoulder, throt
tie your crouch and be decent, so folk
can live in the same neighborhood.
Smile II 1t kills you. We want moth
ing to do with pious old fraud who
thinks It sin to have a good time
to enjoy life, TO scatter Gods sunshine
to- be healthy, wholesome, likable an,
neighborly. We often wonder wha
the good Lord will do with thos,
"'crabapple" fellows up yonder,
We prefer a Court Fool or a Simpl,
Simon TO a Mournful Mike or a Dole
full Dick. There is happy medium IL
between somewhere. Let's try anC
find It.
Take yourself seriously, but not TO,
seriously. Laugh and grow fat. bu
'cut It out" at funeral. Be OF goot
cheer. Have a bully good time as 20
go along. but be decent about it.
A healthy state OF mind means 4;
happy frame Of mind. Nothing vii
drive the bugs" out of your system
like a MIND that dwells on the beau
tiful, the useful, the helpful and tn
real in life. Most OF our troubles ar
imaginary and half OF our griefs neye
oyertake us. .'As man thinketh q
Is he" and why not put our best foe
forward and look up, so we may Sc
the. silver lining that is on ever
cloud? Some people have trouble an
some think they have. It will com
soon enough and why chase after IT
Borrowing money may not be SO bat
as the money may help you TO a goo
thing, but borrowing trouble is simpl
vilianous, for you contract a debt thu
you can never pay and that never doe
you any good.
Get over on the sunny side OF III
street and thaw out. Cheer up, or
baby, maybe II isn't so. Come out
ut, you pale-faced. whlte-livered. XII
ney.kinked. pessimistic pin-head. wit
whom everything is wrong and not
ing right.
Dig yourself out of the dumps G.
out of the valley OF "despond" al
onto the glorious heights. Cultivate
happy disposition, get into differe
frame Of mind. give your better II
pulses a chance.
Put on a smile and create sens
tion. Carry a few bursts OF sunshi
around instead of gobs OF gloom. r
your hat to the ladies and cause
panic. Shake hands with your frient
IL you have any, and watch them stai
pede. Kiss your wife and have ron
with the Riddles. Be Happy Holligt
on try" and see II making a bit
heaven" on earth doesn't beat ma
ing hell"
"The man worth while is the m
with smile when everything go
dead wrong"
