The Rhyming
Optinist
By Aline Michaelis.
/oU say: give me the kindly

n
man who totes a cheerful
= soul. built on the sunshine
shedding plan, who knows no grief
or dole; the kind who knows just
when and where a smile will pull
me through, the kind who makes a
dark day fair and never yet, was
blue" You add: Il like a man
like that, who laughs at all my
jokes. He wears some brains be-
meath his hat unlike a lot of folks.
He's never known to hesitate when
1 desire a loan, nor does he always
preach and pirate of troubles of his
own" 'Tis far, indeed, from my
intent to criticise your choice; nay.
/ would add a loud assent were !
my thoughts to voice. I've noted
that this kindly soul. this man with
cheerful grin, is widely favored on
the whole, and very sure to win.
With you and me he makes a hit:
with many more, mayhap; but. did
you ever think a bit-are you that
sort of chap? Do you shed sun
shine far and near, and as you pass
along, do you change cloudy days to
clear by virtue of your song? 1t
might be well IL you would scan
your own bewitching wiles; no use
to think one kindly man should
corner all the smiles. For IL may
be some others need a lift as well
as you: there's too much sunshine
gone to seed and CHEEKY chaps are
few. Say, when you meet a man
like this. who fills life up with joy
and makes the landscape beam with
bliss, Am I that kind of boy?" Ask.
when you find a happy one who
brightens all the map and makes
the world seem full of fun, Am
that sort of chap"

Hope Even Existed
In This Situation.

Suppose the mother with the
feeble-minded little girl were to
refuse TO believe in any mental lack
in the child, but would instead
steadfsstly see in her an override
veloping and Frightening Intelli-
gence? II she were to tell the lit
tie one over and over again how
bright and clever she is, that moth
er might obliterate and blot out In
the child's subconscious mind all
previous bad impressions and re-
store her to a normal intellect.
Suppose the boy who is losing
his eyeSight were to claim that
vision does not exist in the eye
balls, they are merely excellent
lenses? Suppose he were to assert
that sight is a spiritual faculty in
capable of being lost-to assert il
and believe 1t until ii became a
fact to him? He would not be the
first one whose eyes have been
msrYelously restored.
Suppose the girl with the useless
arm would believe that an irresist-
ible power, ever present was in
MIGRATING her inert muscles? She
might repeat the experience of
others who have stretched forth
their withered arms to find them
whole again.
The history OF mysticism in all
ages records many greater works
than these. And whether you call
them miracles or the manifestations
OF some law which we have not yet
clearly discerned nor defined, they
are multiplying today.

Mrs. Woodrow Writes of
Tired Souls That Need
Some Ray. of Sunshine
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW

THAvE q letter from q woman
who writes that she Is the
q mother Of several beautiful
nd healthy little children. But
to her great sorrow the first one,
the loveliest Of all in body, Is men
tally deficient. In spite of the fact
that II drew heavily upon a none
too abundant family purse, this
mother has had the little girl ex-
amined by a number of physicians,
and they have all given the same
verdict-thst the child. even IL
she lives to extreme old age, will
have the undeyeloped brain of
child of ten.
Another letter which reached me
in the same mail is from a young
man who is losing his eyesight.
He is in a state of mental agony
He sees every hope he had OF the
future blasted, and life has become
an unbearable burden
A third letter is from a girl who
stands very much alone In the
world and who has earned her own
living since childhood She has
been III, and has had a stroke of
paralysis affecting the right side.
This great handicap makes her
position a terribly difficult one,
and she, too, Is in despair.
Overburdened Souls
Assured of Sympathy.
What can 1 say to them? What
can any one say? Their friends
may assure them Of their deep and
sincere sympathy and their wish
TO aid, and these expressions OF
friendliness and good will may in
measure and for a time prove con-
soling. And the other afflicted
ones are left to confront their grief
alone.
The mystery of suffering is in
explainable and unexplained. Yet
the fact that these overwhelmed
souls stretch out their hands for
help and consolation shows that
somewhere deep in their natures is
the belief that help and comfort
exist for them.
The human mind cannot conceive
OF an impossibility. Sooner or later
the dreams Of a people are realized.
The things that man call impossible
ultimately come true.
For centuries men held the idea
OF flying through the air. 1t was
laughed at, derided by the intellect
ualists of their various eras- But
men fly!
There has come to these sufferers
who have written to me the moment
when they demand something more
than the reasonings Of the human
mind The voice Of their souls tells
them that somewhere in the uni
verse there must be a power able
not only to assuage, but to heal and
obliterate all these human contra
dictions
1t is held that the link between
US and this unseen but eyer-pres-
ent power is prayer. Faith is again
becoming a real and vital force in
the world
And the prayer OF faith shall
heal the sick
Are you a. Catholic, The his
tory of that Church Is the history
OF miracles, wrought through acts
OF faith. They have occurred
through all the ages. They occur
today.
Are you a Jew? Then to you be-
longs the grandest conception of

Eat Less Sugar

We see a notice in one of our es- teemed contemporaries that sugar is to sell for 20 cents a pound.
 Stop eating so much sugar. You don't need it in your cof- fee Try drinking coffee without sugar for week and you will never return to sugar.
 People eat too much sugar, any how. We have become a nation of ice tea drinkers during the summer. We put an enormous amount of sugar in ice tea. Al ready many people are suffering from diabetes because they fill their stomachs with sugar during the summer season.
 Use molasses.
 The sorghum crop should be conserved.
 It is amazing how much use good cook can find for sorghum in the kitchen.
 The corn product syrups are cheaper approximately than su- gar.
 They are healthy and you make no mistake in buying them.
 A moment ago Mr- Leslie Strat- ton was in this office and inform ed us that five carloads of Y. C. sugar had been purchased for November delivery at IA 1-2cents f. o. b. New Orleans.
 Eat molasses and cut your su- gar rations down to one-half.
 The sugar growers are prepar- ing next year to take the world by the throat
