OLD Z SIS MAN sooLps


THERE had been many sunny days
: = in the early spring. once upon a
time. but instead OF building their
nests and working as they should have
dcne. two chattering young Robins and
three Sparrows were quarreling as
hard as ever you heard in n big tree
in the orchard.
Ted Squirrel ran over from the big
tree al the edge of the woods. and
when he heard what 1t was all about
ha began To wonder IL he did not want
that very tree, too, for that was what
they were quarreling about. you see.
1t happened that one young Robin
came 10 the tree just as the other had
decided he would build there, and
such n chattering and fiuttering as
went on!
Then along came three Sparrows
and when they found that some one
wanted the tree very much they all
decided that they wanted Ii, too.

be square and firm. The top phalanx

Jupiter reveals distinction gained in

If there is present in the hand what
is called second mount of Mars
that is, mount lying between the line
OF life and the mount of Jupiter-it
indicates unusual bravery and daring.
A short line running from the line Of
fate. which runs vertically up the palm

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
DON'T AIR YOUR ILLS

p PEMEMBER that the man who
makes a point not to air his
bodily ills, and who makes it matter
of principle. not to grumble about the
ups and downs of his health always
has an advantage over the man who
keeps his associates posted concern
ing the way he feels.
Instinctively your associates feel
that you are superior when they
realize that possibly you too some
times feel under the weather but that
you never grumble about it. The
thoroughbred man, like the thorough
bred animal. does not whimper over
the slightest discomfort. There is
something of the Stole in all true
aristocrats and ii is characteristic of
all mean and ill-bred natures 10 like
to reveal the fact of their discomfort
even TO close associates. This is. of
course. absurd-absurd because it ac-
tually causes more discomfort to your
associates than would an admission Of
your illness.
Remember that there is only one
person in the world to whom you have
right to tell all the bad feelings that
you experience. only one person whom
you are privileged to burden with your
symiptoms-and that is your doctor,
and the only reason you are privileged
to tell him is because you pay him to
listen and because by telling him you
hope TO remove the symptoms.

"INCURABLES"

UXXTHILE there's life there's hope"
NO truer statement ever was
made. Every one has heard it and
nearly every one believes it. But to
judge by the pitiable lives of many
one is inclined to believe that a large
number fail to pnt their belief into
practice. ..
There's another old pHoverb which
says IN substance~that nothing Is :rer-
tain but death. And this is likewise
believed by most persons, though at
times one finds the handwriting on
the wall indicating that certain things
arc inevitable.
Nevertheless. the, latter provcrb is
just as sound, as the old one given at
the beginning of this essay. There
would, therefore, be much more .aappi-
ness In the world If many more would
live with both thoughts clearly in mind.
There is no sadder institution in the
world than those devoted 10 tine treat
ment and care of persons afflicted with
incurable ailments. No one i'm the
world deserves greater sympathy and
comfort and aid than, those who are
suffering from ills which they believe
cannot be cured. But there arc entire
iy too many who are declared incur
abies or decide themselves that moth
ing can be done 10 bring them good
health Every community of consider
able size has some suci residents. who
make life unhappy for themselves and
others. and many thousands of Them
may be found in the United States.
Yet, thanks to the advances of medical
science, only very small proportion
OF these are actually incurables.
Wonderful would be the increase in
the worlds happiness if this fact were
widely known and understood and be-
iieyed. 1t is. therefore. a matter of
great Importance which should nmi,e
every one glad that President Har-
ding's personal physician, Brig. Gen.
Charles Sawyer, Is engaged in plan
ming for the welfare department of
the. United States government. For
Doctor Sawyer has devoted most of
his life to seeking :iincurables" and
curing them. and he believes that the
happiness and welfare of thousands Of
persons depends on teaching them that
few are actually incurable and thar
most of the sick can be made well.
