against which no adequate provision could be made.
 The first type spells self-chosen derelicts; those who have courted disaster by never really taking hold of their destiny with the right spfr- 1t; the other constitutes the type who have been shipwrecked through no fault of their own; those for whom others establish lifesaving stations and man lifeboats; and these are generally saved, too, be- cause they are equipped with self aids that cooperate with outside as- sistance.
 It Is very poor policy to do things by the Init or miss" method; the pleasure derived from the unex- pected scarcely compensates for the disasters and disillusions sure 70 lie in wait for the careless or unwary.
 Investments
 No wise man will invest his money without looking into the se- curity of the investment, and why should anybody hope that other seemingly promising ventures can be taken on trust and turn out pleasantly.
 It pays richly to look into things whether the matter under consid- eration means marrying vile or buying an automobile.
 There is nobody who can very wholly understand what you want or what Is necessary to your happi- ness or what Is not; so If you want anything of your very own you've just got to study life's chart and decide upon a course by which to steer to get 1t.
 When you've made your choice or a destination, you've got to buy your own ticket and not begrudge the money expended for 1t.
 No Dependence
 You can't take it for granted that somebody will Invite you to go along or send you passes" or that one destination is as good as another; no. you can't depend upon any of these. any more than you can de- pend upon somebody leaving YOU fortune.
 Nothing that Is not legally and actually yours, Is not yours at all.
 You may temporarily enjoy some benefits as you sit in another man garden and inhale the fragrance or the roses; but neither the garden or the roses are yours.
 It Is better to decide early In lire to have a garden of your own be 1t the humblest sort, the most modest imaginable-but yours.
 Every able-bodied man shouIu build high above all tides or chance the temple of his own home 'lae gives him at once a definite oesti- nation to which to buy tlcKet'

Make Your Chart Before You Stdrt; Choose Your Dest ination Before
 You Buy Your Ticket
By DOLLY pALRYMPLn

Make your chart before you start; choose your destination before you buy your ticket; don't wait un- til the end of your journey and then decide where you are going"
 In "The Winning Fight" Herbert Kaufman wrote these prophetic words.
 To some temperaments there docs seem fascination in aimlessness.
 Such people like to drift with the current of life; they actually like to buy & ticket upon impulse to some unknown place and having ex- pended time and money to reach the spot, they expend more time and money getting away from its dis comforts.
 Their craft strikes many a rock, is strained upon many shoals; their islands of dreams develop light mare possibilities; verify they have reached their journeys end by acci- dent, rather than design, and then

WOMAN'S COMPLEX LIFE

Woman's complex life with its multi tudinous calls is given as the reason for many a nervous breakdown. Home work. social obligations. dressmaking and the care of children keep the goth century woman in a whirlwind of activity until headaches develop. backache, nervousness and oftentimes more serious ills which are peculiar to her sex alone. Such women should not despair, but be guided by the letters so often published in this paper from women who have been in just such conditions. but who have been restored to health by Lydia E.
