Don't Pity Yourself

When you pity yourself you begin to think of
yourself the center of creation, sort of central
line around which the stars re yolve-or should.
You are out of focus.
Not being appreciated, you cast about for rea-
sons. 1t is only step to find them. You are hated
folks are plotting against you.
You sit down and weep because you are not
appreciated loved. or worshiped as you feel you
should be.
We would better take the bumps that life sends
and regard them lessons. Life is struggle
against our own limitations. If we pity anyone let's
pity those who have to live with us.
1t is great privilege to live, to engage in the
struggle of existence fight for that which is right,
and if need he to suffer and die for it.
When you have pain, is good proof you
alive. Dead ones have no pain. Those who
alive are bound to suffer. This is part of the
great education of every individual who really lives
and achieves And to live, IN itself is an achieve
ment.
TO go down and acknowledge you're down is the
only defeat. When you indulge in self pity you are
on the slide, reaching for the swab.
Mans business is to surmount. to arise. to avi-
ate. and when he begins to help himself he grows
strong, and everybody will help him.
Self-pity is the first symptom of paranoia, but
paranoia is disease of the brain that comes from
continually thinking of ones own self and dwelling
on Sights and fancied insults
If we fail in sn undertaking we blame others.
If succeed take all the credit to ourselves 1t
is very much easier to blame some one else than to
face the issue; and we hide our blunders behind
excuse, evolve self-pity, explain the matter to
anyone who will listen, to get them, if possible, to
help feel sorry for us.
When we explain when we accuse, when we
denounce Others selfpty begins to consume us, and
power takes wing.-H. q.

A Pointer For Medical Science

After examining draft tabulations in the United
culosis Association reports that $4,000 men were re-
jected because they had tuberculosis. At army
camps 0,00O more were discharged for the same
reason. In the army hospitals 5000 soldiers are
under treatment for this disease. What are we 60
ing to do about it? The figures are startling though
not entirely unexpected. Many men were too evil
IDENTIFY suffering from the maady to apply for en-
llstment. The showing is instructive and empha-
sizes the fact that great problem in public sani-
tation and medical science is serious and urgent
Some advance has been made in compre-
henson of the disease and systematic measures for
its prevention ard cure, but ii is in truth uncon-
quered. Yet faith that it can eventually be con-
quered is strengthened little from year to year.
To be of the nature and extent of scourge of
mankind is some gain The rejection of more than
10000 men, of military age, account of a single
disease points TO great deal of work. and of re-
search, yet to be done. Public cooperation to
stamp out the plague is also a necessity. The latest
official figures speak grimly for themselves.
No doubt American manhood makes better
showing than is possible in any other country but
s bad enough to call for general attention and
vigorous sustained action. Our army medical de-
partment is noted everywhere for its elimination of
yellow fever and some other diseases. Typhoid has
been reduced as pest. In st. Louis it has been
practically ended by an improved water supply and
general sanitation. Tuberculosis is a durable di-
sease and certainly preventable. This opinion is
demonstrated fact. not mere theory. But the de-
monstration has been a small scale not general
and decisive.
The medical revelations of the draft call for
more action. not less.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Thus we cling to humdrum things
And scorned their lore of wind and wings!
Foolish it seemed to us to mark
The sudden rise of the meadow-lark!
How could mankind hope to follow

While we grumbled, while we scoffed,
Still, thank God, they looked aloft!
Seaward, where gray gull Glove
Mists that curtained cape and cove,
They saw a new Columbus dare
Illimitable seas of air!
The eagle breasting the coastwise gale
Marked for them the way of the mail,
And where snow-fleeing bird tribes went
To find trOpic continent,
