Helpful Thoughts
BY HELEN R~AINFoRTH.
TENTMEN

as she happy?' is an inquiry often
made concerning friends and %acquaint-
! ances and If a truthful answer is made
it will usually be in the negative. We
are prone to think Of happiness as be-
ing continuous so that the person who
has any trouble at all Is not in the
common view happy. If one never
had any troubles, any annoyonces, any
discomforts it is doubtful if there
would be any real happiness because
happiness is a relative state.
Contentment Is a better word and
a more desirable condition than hap
piness. The contented person, he or
she who is ~philosophic enough to ac-
cept the discomforts of life as some
thing that must be borne and who can
balance against them the pleasures and
joys hat every day holds, comes as
near attaining happiness as it is pos
slble for the human being to do. That
condition is mental, not physical.
Life is made up of varying condi-
lions all of which are good or bad,
pleasant or unpleasant, only by com
p~arison. The trouble Is hat we are
prone to compare Jul w achieve
ments and successes with those of per-
sons we regard as more fortunate than
ourselves. And we do not know the
actual conditions of those who are
apparently less afflicted by "the sings
and arrows of outrageous fortune"
than we are. If we knew the troubles
and trials of the apparently successful
and happy individuals we would not
for a moment think of changing places
with them.
1t is only by striking an average that
we can decide on whether fate is deal
ing kindly or unkindly with US. This
average must not only be struck as to
the good and bad hat we encounter,
but also with reference to the expe-
riences of others. In other words, we
should compare ourselves and our con
ditions with all our friends and &C
qualntances, not merely with the ia
vored few. If we find that we are
above the average in receiving the
good things that Dame Fortune hands
out then we should be content and
should not find fault with our lot.
So let us, If we must make compari-
sons, make them fairly. Let III try to
look at the misfortunes Of others as
well as at their good luck. So doing
we will be able to reach hat mental
state that will mean contentment If
not actual happiness. 1t Is not likely
that anyone is much above or below
he average in the final adjustment.

Health and Beauty Hints

will surely result from the habit OF
assuming poses that are the easiest.
Muscles that are not exercised In time

attitude Is acquired through habit then
the proper attitude will become habit

This does not mean that one should
always sit and stand as stiff as muscles
and bones will permit. But 1t does
mean that one should sit and stand
erect much of the time; that the chin
should be held up and the shoulders
should be thrown back. In the correct
pose the body is balanced squarely on
the feet. This balance should not be
maintained by throwing a part of the
body forward and another part back

while the shoulders are leaning back

healthy pose. In this position h
muscles are relaxed, and the result
will assuredly be unfortunate as the
years come on.
If one will form the habit of forcing
the muscles to do the work for which
they were intended, even for a few
minutes at frequent intervals, there
need never be any fear that the youth

with the body muscles relaxed. But
if one will move along as if going

erect with the abdomen contracted. Ii
one will also throw the shoulders back
and raise the chin while doing the
walking the benefits that result from
the exercise will be materially in-
creased.
The great benefit that comes from
the setting-up exercises of army camps
comes from the fact that during the
exercises the embryo soldier must keep
the shoulders back, the chin raised and
| the muscles taut.
The principal fact to be remembered
is that one should form the habit Of
standing, walking and sitting in proper
positions for at least a few minutes at
a time as often as possible. 1t matters
little when this is done, whether n

SWEAT MACHINERY, NOTTHE MEN
Lord Leverhumle Builder of Port Sunlight Says Great CT Production, Fewer Hours, No Raise In

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-- Sweat the machine. not the worker \ twelve hour day for machinery: six-hour day for men. Result More produc- ton. fewer hours. no raise in prices"
 That's the industrial creed of Lord L0Verhume, Great Britain's best known captain of industry. one of the largest employers of labor in the world and the man who made Port Sun light famous as the most contended city Of workers in the world.

I can do the latter only by increasing output. Modern plants, with the ma chinery and other equip ment are so costly the overhead charges distributed over a limited out put kill any industry. Double the out put and you create fund out of which you can increase wages.
 Lord Leverhulme does not believe the hour day is practicable for all industry.
 ..Wherever the weekly wages exceed the overhead charges. as in farming. the six-hours day cannot be applied under present conditions without in creasing the cost of the product to the consumer" he said. But any industry where the cost of overhead is at least as great as the wage cost can institute the six-hour day In my judgment. the coal mines in the United States come under the classification where the six hour shift is quite practicable"

Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when t burns, leaves behind 8 certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal certain amount of indigeStible ma terial, which if not completely elimina- ted from the system each day, be- comes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptOmain-likc pOisOnS are formed and sucked into the blood
 Men and women who cant get feel ing right must begin 10 take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspOonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen- tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head aches, colds, biliOusneSS, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin praCtiCing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remem Der inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do.
