SOURCE OF UNHAPPlNESS

Humanity might profit much by
pausing long enought to look about
and detect the causes and influences
with tend to create unhappiness, and
then apply effective remedies wher-
ever needed
One of the evil influences. and one
which often brings distress to a large
number of individuals is embraced
in what is known as superstition. Per.
maps there are one or more things
about which the majority of men and
women are superstitious. At some
time in their lives they have heard
that certain thing brings good luck
or a certain other things brings bad
luck. For instance they have been
told that the mailing of a horse shoe
over the door brings good luck. and
throughout the world the four leaved
clover is the emblem of good fortune
Other conditions attached TO the moon
nave certain interpretations, and
some people say that the left forefront
of rabbit which has been killed at
in a grave yard is a con.
lurer of good fortune. But these are
only few of the common beliefs
which people of accredited rationalitv
allow to influence their lives.
Yesterday there passed through Tho
lands of the writer a two.dollar hi,

Some idea of the power that the
new organization may WELD in the
affairs of the nation may be gained
from the fact that there viii be
5,e00,000 discharged soldiers and
sailors, who form at least half the
electorate of the country.
The League was launched Ivy ]

That there should be a minimum

That the scale should be elastic
% that the pension should fit tha

That every man accepted as medi-
