 Those dearest to us of course are our [ home folks and these are the ones who
 have to stand us" as it were. We leave our i'll humor at home, and when we go to the outside world, we un- consciously assume at least a mask of "virtuous amiability'' It is hard to understand how most or us treat the ones we love best the worst.
 We know our home is the sweetest place on earth; that our home people are the most lovables-a which should be a guard against our 'grouchy' moments. They are the only ones enough interest ed in us to be hurt or influenced by our bad temper.
 I just love the notable Baron Mum chausen, who, finding himself hopelessly sinking in the mire, took hold of his queue" and pulled himself out again. Isn't that splendid suggestion to most of us-just to take hold of our serveral "queues'' and pull ourselves out of what seems to be a hopeless situation? III humor is worse than any morass, if we give ourselves up to it without nak- ing the effort to escape.

"Uplook' Versus "Outlook'

nNN OWNToWN yesterday I happened | IL to look into a very attractive shop window" and there I saw dozens and dozens of post cards dis played and there was one that especially attracted my attention.
 The card read this way:
 When the outlook isn't good try the uplookr'
 1 It set me to thinking, fcf there are days upon top of days which the very best natured and most optimistic of us find to be dark blue mavy bIuel. when the old world looks dim and unlghted; when, try hard as we may. We cannot possibly com fort ourselves with the memory of yes terdays or initiate our hopes with the roseate dreams of golden-tinted tomor- rews.
 1 The outlook v is anything but good it matters not which way we gaze trying to discover the beauty of the world
 In this state of mind most of us try Ito take it out on somebody" and they call US bad tempered, which we are. but had you ever stopped to think that bad temper" is not so much state of mind as a physical condition? The res verse of Boston, which Gen. Horace Por- ter declared was not a city, but a state of mind for nine out of ten times, when we are in a pet and ''all out of sorts" ] it is due to the fact that we are not in , trim physically, and the best thing to do them is to go to see your doctor.
 On the other hand if you happen to be the exception to the rule of heng healthy and vet bad tempered" then what you need is the "uplook7 when the "outiook" fails.
 This condition is entirely a matter Of conscience; when we've done those things which we ought not to have done. and left undone those things which we ought to have done, as the blessed prayer book puts it, when we try to justify our will ful neglect of duty or the deliberate disregard of an obligation, the result 1S anything but a pleasant and satisfac- tory state of mind, as we all know.
 Isn't it queer how closely related duty dcne and happiness ares

Ten Years M!n!n!$erETh His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such 3 bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 30 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.

When he finally reached home

working for him all day, Mr.. Grow
was feeling very pleasant. You
know, he thought that his winters
food must be in his house. And
that alone is enough to make any
one happy. But what Mr.. Grow
liked most about his bargain was
the fact that he wouldn't have to
pay Sandy for his work. He had
said to Sandy: "I'll agree to give
you half what you gather for me"
And Sandy Chipmunk had never
stopped to think that that was not
any pay at all. For he might have
gathered the food for himself, and
had all, instead of only half of it..
AS it was, Sandy Chipmunk was
paying himself for working for Mr.
Grow. And Mr.. Grow seemed to be
the only one that was wise enough
to know it.
