woman who presided there. She was
an efficiency expert in her line and
she appreciated the ambitions of a
fefiow-soul. For Doris she had the
utmost scorn and she was not prof.
cient in concealing her attitude.
Sensing this disapproval Doris, quick
to hurt in these days, kept away
from the nursery. She saw the baby
during its outings and while it slept
in the garden. but she felt complete
ly detached in her attitude toward
1t. She remarked one day in the

Excellent Advice

| credit account with a man or wom-
an, but in the end she admits her
accounts. and for every broken law
of hygiene the offender must pay
with compound interest.
The young man who drinks too
much. the young man who burns
the candle at both ends, the young
man who is a roue, thinks that he
can have his fling and SOW his wild
oats and get off scott free. But he
doesn't. He pays the price in shat
tered nerves; in premature senility
and insanity. There is no hospital.
no insane asylum in which they will
not tell you that three-fourths of
the men patie6ts brought their fate
upon themselves.
| The woman who lives on candy
and sweets, who takes no exercise,
who wears clothes that are first aid
, to pneumonia, who lives on her
nerves and in a perpetual strain of
gadding from party to party. thinks
that she can likewise sin against
nature and escape the penalty. but
the price she pays enriches SANTA
RUINS, and puts nerve and lung spe-
cialists in the millionaire class.
Do you wish success; The price
of that is all that you have got. To
buy success you must give every
ounce of strength in you-and then
some more. You must give every
thought of your head, and every
aspiration of your soul. You must
count neither sickness, nor weari-
ness, nor encouragement in paying
your bill.
You must work while others play.
You must save while others spend.
You must take the hard road when
the easy one lies invitingly before
you. You must cruelty your vanity
and think only of your object, not
yourself. You must stand the gaff,
take criticism gratefully; endure
insolence patiently; deny yourself
the pleasures of both love and
! hatred.
! Perpetual sacrifice on the altar of
ones desire. Self-immolation to one
purpose. Cease1ess striving. Un-
ending labor. Dauntless courage
and endurance. These are the coins
with which one buys success, and il
is because so few are willing to pay
the price that there are so many
failures in life.
Men and women believe that there
Is some royal road to fame and for
tune In which they can Joy ride in
Limousine. or that there is some
magic carpet that will watt them
to success without an effort on their
own part.
1t never happens. There Is no
easy way to the heights. Every
step of 1T must be taken with blood
and tears. and faint hearts are not
strong enough to pay so great a
price. So many get weary and lay
down their tools. They get tagged
and drop out OF the race. They do
not like the company they are
forced to keep on part Of the jour-
ney and they turn aside to where
the society is more elegant and
agreeable, or they argue with them
selves that after all success isn't
worth what life asks for 1t, and they
content themselves with some cheap
er bargain.
,, Every day of your life you see
lonely, loveless, friendless people,
sick people, failures, who rail at the
injustice of fate, but the fault is
their own, not fate's. They could
have had the thing they desired if
they would have paid the price, but
they would not. .r|s.

PAYING THE PRICE.

One of the greatest obstacles to
human happiness consists in our un-
willingness to recognize the fact
that everything in this world has a
price tag on 1t. and that we must
pay cash over the counter for
Everything we get.
Something for something. Moth
Ing for nothing. Pinchbeck, cheap.
Fine gold. high. 1t is the immuta-
BILE law OF nature that never
changes.
We admit the truth of this so far
as other people are concerned. but
when IL comes to ourselves we cher
ish the fallacious hope that we
shall escape the common fate. We
think that, somehow, we are going
to be able to graft our way through
life, that some miracle will happen
to us so that we will get the sweet
without the bitter, and gather
where we have not sown, and reap
where we have not planted.
1t Is a FOOLS dream. 1t never hap
pened. For value received We pay,
pay, pay. And this is true equally
of spiritual and material things.
Do you want love? You must pay
for 1t with your hearts blood. You
must pay for II with a million sac
rifices. with a million anxieties. with
million fears. And after you have
bought love you must keep on pay
/ ing for 1t by cherishing II, and pro-
tecting it, and nursing and foster
ing it. and preferring it before
i'yourself.

are those who are too stingy and
centered and egotistical to pay the
price that love demands. Those who
lose love are those who grow tired
of continually paying in little at
tentions and little considerations, in
little kisses and caresses. on a debt
that is never paid in full this side
of the grave.
And those who refuse to buy love
because IL lays upon one burdens
and calls for self-sacrifice, they also
pay for what they get. They escape
! the agony that tears at ones heast
strings when a beloved one stands
in the shadow of death. They es-
capo the slavery of toiling for a
family whose needs suck UP a mans
income as a sponge does water.
But they pay in lonliness. in the
| silence of rooms in which no
woman's laugh Is ever heard. nor
where there comes the patter of lit
tie feet. They pay in a desolate old
age, barren of interest and lacking
all humanities.
Do you wish health? You must
pay for It with abstinence, with
self-control, with Intelligent care of
the body and by doing a thousand
things you don't want to do, and
doing without thousand things
you greatly desire to do. Some
times nature runs a long health

Peanut, Not a Nut

The peanut has been travelling all
its life under false colors. 1t Is
classified as O nut, and frequently
persons who are ordered to eat nuts
include peanuts In their dietary
when 1t does not belong there. The
peanut Is a 'legume," pure and sim
pie. 1t grows on a vine. and not on
a tree. as nuts do. 1t should be
used as we use dried peas, beans
and lentils.
the other legumes In that 1t can be
used as an emergency ration with
no other cooking than its original
roasting. The indigestion which
children suffer after peanut
spree" is due to the fact that they
eat them in addition to their regu-
lar meals, giving the stomach more
heavy food than It can properly
care for.
Peanuts have a very high fuel
value and are rich in oil. Dishes
made from peanut butter will take
the place of meat in providing nu-
triment. Combined with milk. in
the form of soup, they constitute q
very satisfying meal.
Like nuts. cheese and other COM
pact forms Of food, water is lacking
in peanuts. and they should be COM
bined with a green vegetable or
salad to give sufficient bulk and the
proper balance as food. They are
too frequently regarded as a dainty.
whereas they are actually a heavy
food.
