There is only one way out of every
difficulty and that is the right way.
Sometimes that way seems little OBJ
scure, but II we persevere. we will
find it, and one thing is sure. there is
only one right way The man who
always chooses the right way, is the
one who is going to get ahead in the
world, the man who is going to be

Disenchantment in regard to life is
a sign of age.--age in experience IL
rot In years. Therefore II we want to
be young and stay young we must
keep our spirit of enchantment. We
must look for the interesting in all ex-
periences, and must not allow our
selves to get to the point where we
look forward to day as just twenty
four hours in which to work eat and
sleep. We should greet each day as
new adventure. II we but open our
eyes and hearts. we will find the
world about US both marvellous and
entertaining.

A little thoughtfulness OF mother
would be very good thing at this
time OF the year. just like the young
sters seem to think that they can
bring lot of nice weather inside in
the shape of a sticky spring mud on
their shoes. And that same mother
certainly can't go out and enjoy the
sunshine if she has mud all over her
carpets. Just remember this, boys
and girls. Mother has a right to a
good time just the same as you and
you will feel lot happier IL you give
her chance TO have 1t.

Four years ago this month we en-
tered the Great War But why remem-
Der and dwell on the fact? Surely 1t Is
not a pleasant or profitable pastime..
Memory in great many cases is harm
full and at best 1t is unnecessary. The
present is for Us 10 make the NEST of,
The past Is to forget Lessons, it is
true, can be drawn from the past. but
they are profitable only when applied
TO the present and not when dwelt up
on with sorrow and regret.
Many people never cease to mourn
their mistakes. Certainly mistakes are
regrettable. but why give them more
chance to harm by thinking OF them
and by constantly wasting time wish
ing they had never happened. Make
each mistake rung in the ladder
which eventually leads to perfection.
Quite often there are regrettabfe
things In the past which are not mis-
takes but which were necessary. Per-
haps The Great War might come under
this classification. That depends en-
tirely upon the point of view. How
ever. all will agree that whether nee
essary or not, dwelling on is an I'M
profitable business from which we can
hope to gain nothing. Clean from the
lessons we learned during the war
whatever good is possible and then
drop 1t from memory. And each year
when the anniversary for our entrance

a day or two thinking how unneces-
sary II was. how much better 1t could
have been managed, how much more
you lost than other people and how

New hope, new JOY, new life-that
is the significance OF Easter. During
the year our material plans may go
astray troubles may assail US and the
world may seem a lark dreary place
indeed. But with the coming OF Eas-
ter we are reminded that material
things count as naught for only the
spiritual has power and permanent ac-
tuality. We learn that as we cease to
trust In the material, we are no longer
made unhappy by existing material
conditions. Striving for spiritual hap
piness we gain Joy and peace. and ma
terlal difficulties miraculously disap-
pear.
Christ, in overcoming the greatest
obstacles the world has ever known,
set an example for us. And though the
way may often seem difficult yet each
year at Easter time we gain new
strength and courage, knowing that
the Resurrection has as vital mean
ing for us now as it did for the peo-
pie nineteen centuries ago.

Fresh air, a certain amount of
daily exercise, food properly chosen
and eaten. and strict bodily hy-
giene are the basic laws of health
and beauty and success in every
walk of life. From these all health
and beauty rules spring.
Air is the first necessity of life.
You may live without food for
days and without water for hours,
but you cannot live without air
for more than few minutes.
Your fresh air supply must re-
ceive first consideration. Particu-
larly is this true of the indoor
worker. Sleeping in rooms where
fresh air only gets in through a
crack is a short cut to invalidism.

Choose Outdoor Recreation.
Without air the human plant
withcrs and fades. No one so needs
this great life elixir as does the
indoor worker to offset the wear
and tear of the routine day. You
cannot depend entirely upon good
ventilation in your homes and
places of work. You have to grab
off as much outdoor life as possible
for the best OF ventilated places are
not half as good as outdoor air,
AS you know. people who spend
their lives in the open enjoy better
health and longer life than those
denied the privilege.
Even in city outdoor air is
more invigorating than indoor. So
whenever possible choose outdoor
recreation. In summer time golf.
tennis, swimming, rowing, picnics,
outings, and park visits are offered,
whereas winter has skating and
walking.

Vernon Munter once worked in

place like that to remind a land
lubber of where he might go if he
keeps on SHINING.
At his home here Vernon always
likes it hot. He feels perfectly at
home while his wife Lucy feels
like melting.
She came home the other night
when il was warm and close and
Vernon in a room with all the win
dows closed, the fire roaring in the
stove and perspiration dripping of
everything.
Without saying word TO her
hubby, Lucy opened the windows.
Vernon scowled at the first window.
got angry when she opened the Sec
ond and lost control of himself
completely when she went to the
third.
The next morning Lucy came into
court with her eye bandaged up and
her face scratched and a couple of
teeth loose.
Use sorry All had to hit nah

explained, but wot is a man gonna
do when a woman won't lissen to
him.
You did not expect your wife to
suffocate in that room, did you?"

expected me to freeze, and that is
jist as bad"

"any take my advice and stop beat

Competition is keen these days.
1t seems that two women were
always after the privilege of wash
ing clothes for a fellow named
Duke Smith. Duke dressed we'll and
often, according to his statement,
and wore underpinning of the finest
sort.
He courted Ida Stearns by day,
she said. and courted Louise Shafer
after the gas was lighted. Ida did
most of the washing, she said, be-
cause she called for it the most.
Louis washed and ironed for
Duke about once a month, she said.

The troubles of the trio began
when Duke missed some silken
"onderwear" and accused Ida of
pilfering it.
Ida tried to blame Louise and ex-
planned that the latter was the last
one to do Dukes washing. The
warrant was made out in Ida's
name. anyhow.

Came without q Gift.

Dear Miss Blake: have been
corresponding with a young man
four years my senior for five
months, during which time he was
out of town on business. He wrote
affectionate letters, and when he
came home called me up and l met
him at the depot.
The following week l was given
a surprise birthday party. and he
came without gift. My mother
and all my relatives say that shows
he has no affection for me what
ever. by not bringing a small token
as a gift, especially when he is
going back the following day.
Kindly tell me if it is wise for
me to answer his letters, as my
mother has forbidden me to do so.
Very truly yours,
HEART BROKEN"
Nonsense, dear. 1t probably
never occurred to him to bring a
gift. Besides, many people object
to birthday parties for the reason
they imply gifts, and perhaps he
was just strong enough to hold 10
his principles. That's a foolish
thing to hold against the man.
