RETURNING FROM VACA-
TION

Many people come back from
summer vacations with fiat pocket
books and jaded bodies, strained
Nv too much sight seeing, too
long motoring, or indulgence in
physical exercises to which their
muscles were not accustomed. Yet
for all that they are usually well
satisfied, and would not have their
money back if they could.
Many of these folks however
take up their job with a sigh of
dependency, and wish their wan
ueriust might be satisfied by
travelling all the time. The huni-
drum sights and sounds of daily
lite seem more depressing than
usual. They often speak of put
ting on the old harness, and they
feel like a hard worked horse
whose skin has been chafed and
worr by ill fitting straps and
buckles.
The really ambitious person usu-
ally learns something during d
vacation that will be useful in his
work. He should have new ideas
v hich he is anxious to try out.
Even if he brought nothing like
this home and his playtime was
purely a frolic, he should be able
to see his task in a new light.
Most people tend to get into the

that he must try to get his les

The Race tor Popularity

Many young PEOPLE feel hurt
and troubled because somehow
they never succeed in becoming
popular" They hang around the
social leaders, and seek to win
their favor If they are away at
school, they will spend long hours
loafing in the rooms of other stu
dents, hoping to get 'in the swim -
Yet somehow they feel they are
outside the elect circle, and they
can't see how to get in.
The prizes of society are always
distributed unfairly. Those who
most need friendly relations to
smooth off their rough corners and
give them confidence are the ones
Who get the least of this kind of
life. And others are overwhelmed
with invitations, and are offered
so many pleasures that they be-
come bored and jaded with them.
Young people who are disap-
pointed in these ways should real
lie that friendships do not come
lust by seeking for them. Students
gain little just by aimless loafing
in each others society in the hope
of making warm ties. Friendship
comes from joining in some actlv-
ity together and finding congenlal
types of character.
Those who feel lonely would
better throw themselves into some
form of activity for the benefit Of
their college, school, church, ath-
letic team or other organization.
If they are willing to forget them
selves and work for some common
cause, they will find appreciation.
They will gradually come to be re-
garded as leaders and people will
depend on them and look up to
them.
, Some young people have GER
tain facile fascination of manners
or looks that wins friendship too
easily for ones good. The prizes
of society come to such little eff
fort. They gain a false idea of
their own powers, and are likely to
meet with disappointment in after
life. The best friendships are those
that grow out of comradeship in
working for sons common cause,
and those who forget themselves
and serve others usually make
friends.

The spirit of Anarchy

Events like the murder of Mich
ael Collins in Ireland reveal what
a hold the spirit of anarchy has
got in the world. 1t is very Signifi-
cant that there have been many
assassinations of this type in Ger
many, Ireland and Russia, but not
many in France, England, Italy
and other democratic countries.
The lesson is that where demo-
cratic institutions are established,
tremendous safeguard is created
against these brutal crimes. The
minds of all sane people in a free
land revolt against such acts, and
trose who commit them are con-
demned as outlaws.
While our country has had dur
ing recent years but few attacks
on prominent public men, and
those were made by mental de-
fcctives, yet the tendency toward
anarchy exists in such affairs as
TIE terrible massacre at Herrin,
III. The brutes of violence may not
dare attack any shining mark, but
they think they can strike down
some poor and struggling work
man. They should find that the
people consider it just as despic-
able a crime to murder the hum
blest man as to strike at a leader
of government.
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1922-09-01

habit of routine work, doing their
job just the same day after day.
This is particularly true of wom-
en-, for whom cooking and sweep
irg and washing dishes seem the
same yesterday, today and forever.
The mental eye gets dull in the
midst of this sameness. The rest
ed brain should be able to take up
home and industrial problems with
a new vigor and see things hidden
before.
Too many people unfortunately
do not get these satisfactions that
come from travel. A multitude Of
workers have had more vacation
than they want the past year, and
can undertake no journeyings.
When community life reaches It's
ideal, everyone will get off for a
lest time in different surround
irgs, even if it is only to go 10
some nearby camp.

Higher Priced Clothing

An item of business news from
Now York states that there is a
good demand for the highest pric-
ed dresses for women much bet
ter than last fall. This is good
news, sign that conditions have
REILLY improved, indicating that
business men can enlarge their
undertakings with confidence OF
public support.
But there is a question how far
it pays women to invest in high
priced clothing. Goods of the best
quality will wear long enough to
make them profitable, if women
really wear them out. But if they
are going to discard them because
the fashion makers have made
some radical changes in styles, it
does not pay to stock up with the
most substantial stuff.

WOman's Ills Make In
happy Home

There is no question but what
the ills of women conspire against
domestic harmony. The husband
cannot understand these troubles
and the physician finds it hard to
core them; therefore tn overwork-
ed wife and mother continues to
drag around day in and day out
with headache and backache, fret
full and nervous.
Such women should be guided
by the experience of women whose
letters we are continually publish
ing in this paper. Many of them
declare that they have been re-
stored to health, strength and CON
sequent happiness by Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
after doctors and all other medi-
cines had failed to help them. 1t
will surely pay women who suffer
from such ailments to try it.-Ad-
