The legislature which will meet in
January probably will be subjected to
the usual demands for appropriations
and commissions to carry out the
plans of the innumerabIe welfare or
CARNATIONS. Some years ago a survey
showed that one in every thirty adults
was helping in some way-supervis-
ing, inspecting. instructing. protect
ing, nursing, burying-the other
twenty-nine and their children, in ad
dit1on to what these twenty-nine were
doing voluntarily and privately for
themselves But this ratio Of official
welfare work has been raised greatly
in the intervening period. A review
of legislation in the various states
showed that 1o4 boards and commits
sions had been added in a single year.

WITHIN YOU

Il
1t is that within us which moves
all that is without us.
Many human beings are surrounded
by an atmosphere of nothingness
whereas merely to meet others is to
feel an immediate contact with their
inner life and thought.
Why is it that some people inspire
use the minute we talk to them-and
others repulse US, even before a single
word is spoken?
Only today 1 had such an expert
ence. went into an office on a bust
ness call. One man by his very glance
seemed to freeze me in spirit. Not
that 1 was afraid of him any way,
but that I Immediately realized the
uselessness of talking to him or seek
ing to convince him of anything. 1
seemed to sense his thoughts before
they were expressed. Within him
lived from day to day insincere pur-
poses.
Into another office>I went. The very
expression on the face of the one to
whom I talked, told me was dealing
with a real man, whose loneliness of
spirit and straightforwardness could
be questioned by no one. 1 would well
come an argument from such a man.
The thing that makes us happy and
leads US on the way to worthwhile
ness and even greatness. is to have
the best that is in US brought out by
the best in other people.
And this is just as natural a process
as the drawing out of the water of the
earth by the Sun.
Within US is our success. our happi-
neSs-our destinyi
We must study ourselves, translate
ourselves by meditation, and by learn
ing from all that we see and expert
ence.
As We grow in knowledge and I'M
Outstanding, we grow in breadth of
thought and sympathy.
And it is only as We see ourselves in
the world responsible to the inner
most urges of our natures for right
living and achievement, that we be-
come in powerful in our own right
Within US is love, beauty, and con-
tentment. Just the minute that we
unite these forces with those about us
in the outer world, we find peace and
joy
There is no more truthful state
ment than this He can who thinks

extent the demands for the holiday
period are peculiarly seasonal, and 1t
often happens that with the turn into
a new year there is a reaction which
leaves industry, so far as retail lines
are concerned, in something OF
PROSTATE condition There is, now
ever, no reason to expect that such
situation in its broadest interpreta-
ton will apply this year.
The record of the last nine months
has been one of steady progression in
business and finance, and the under
lying situation has not been changed
in the least. The money for business
purposes is in plentiful supply, and
will probably continue so. and under
such circumstances there is no reason
to doubt the correctness of the view
