BE A COCO LOSER

IF WE all liked to lose, this would
= be a shiftless and an ambitionless
life.
It is natural to want to win in any
competition, business or athletic.
Any self-respecting man would like
to feel that he can outstrip the other
fellow in any race he enters.
He feels chagrined when he loses.
But If he amounts to anything he does
not show 1t.
To whine, to lose your temper, to
invent excuses, to show jealousy If
you lose, is poor sportsmanship and
poor judgment.
You may feel badly because you
have lost, and you ought to, but re-
member that you, and no one else, are
responsible. For II the competition
was one in which you had no chance
of winning you shouldn't have entered
It. If you did have a chance, it was
your fault that you did not improve
1t.
Be good loser, therefore, and gen
erous to your opponent. But don't lose
too often.
Don't be so little concerned about
losing that you never try to win.
Don't feel that itsmakes no differ

ARE YOU WORTHY?

"A COMMON and frequent complaint
: nowadays among self-esteemed
young men and women is that they
are not making satisfactory progress.
With more or less petulance thex
declare that their incomes are not
sufficient to keep them In the style
In which they want to live.
Instead of being compelled to de-
pend on popular shops for their
clothes, they yearn to be in position
to patronize high-priced tailors and
dressmakers. and thus in their false
estimation keep step with the rich
by making repeated shows Of fine
feathers.
The plebian atmosphere in which
these hapless mortals are surrounded
Is most displeasing.
Any real effort to improve their
mental qualifications Is apart from
the question, and contrary to their
inmost wishes.
Though apostles Of laxity, devotees
Of empty pleasures and devout dis
ciples at the shrine of prodigality,
these disgrmtled young men and
women openly blame the world for
their imagined plight, often condemn
ing their employers for holding them
down, when as matter of fact their
employers have nothing whatever to
do with 1T.
The man or woman who Is really
DESTROYS Of rising to the surface
where he or she can swim with head
above water must pull hard. con-
tinuous stroke, quite regardless Of
what others are doing.
1t is the only way to keep at the
top and keep moving ahead
Drifting is perilous to everybody
who INDUCES in 1t, certain in the end
to lead to disaster by wrecking the
fondest hopes and highest aspirations
In spite of our Wanted pride Of
progress drifting Is becoming ma
tional habit. particularly among the
buny-minded who bend their knee to
the god of gold rather than to the
god of wisdom.
Every good thing in life is meas
ured by such persons with the tape
bearing the dollar mark and its deci-

ence how the race goes. When 1t is
over have quiet little conversation
with yourself, and give general In
structions not to let the same thing
happen sgn,~.
There is such thing as being SO
good loser that you like to lose. And
there are no competitions run Off In
this world which you can afford to
enter merely for the pleasure Of
letting some other man win.
You are perfectly justified in feel
ing bad when you have lost. You are
justified in taking yourself into a
corner for lecture on the folly of
losing. The continual loser will In the
end have to part with his self-respect
and his courage, and become mere
cumberer Of the earth.
Try to win as hard as you can. If
you lose next time make up your
mind that you will win the next. De-
termine that you will win oftener than
you lose and that you will win as
nearly 100 per cent as possible.
Then when you do lose, you can
bear 1t with better grace, for you
will know that such thing is not
going to happen very frequently.

WHY q
DOES SALT MAKE US
THIRSTY

A NYONE who has suffered from
Z : nose-bleed or who has tasted
human blood knows that 1t contains
considerable proportion Of salt
approximately the same amount as
is present in sea water. This Is only
natural, because salt Is one Of the
essentials of the body and is carried
through It by means Of the veins and
arteries which feed the different partd
Of this intricate mechanism.
When an unusual amount Of sale
is taken into the stomach, 1t reacts
In two ways. In the first place, the
blood, being already supplied with all
the salt that 1t cares to handle, de-
clInes to take on any more and the
saline solution remains In the stomach
-"uncalled for" as 1t were. Then,
too, salt rapidly absorbs water and
Its presence In the stomach causes that
organ to send out a hurry call for
some means Of flushing out the exces6
which cannot be utilized by the body.
The sensation Of being thirsty" ls,
therefore, merely the manifestation
that the stomach needs something with
which to dilute the unusual amount
Of salt-just as when we feel thirsty
from other causes 1t is a sign that the
body needs some kind Of a liquid to
assist 1t In its usual functions.

ALFALFA VALUED BY ANciENTS
Cultivated In Italy During the First
Century, and From There Spread
Over Europe.

Records show that alfalfa was
brought into Greece from Persia In
480 B. G. It reached Italy during the
first century, and slowly spread over
Europe. From Spain 1t was carried
to Mexico. and thence spread north
and south during the Sixteenth CEN
fury.
New England got seed from Eng
land about the same time. But the
plants died the second season, and
the culture of the new plant was
generally ignored by farmers. Only
recently has 1t been restored to q
place among agricultural crops in
the East by the discovery that soil
incubation establishes the plant
and it becomes one Of the best crops
for forage and for building up de-
pleted farm land.
In the West alfalfa is the great for
age crop, as it is in southern Europe
Drought-resistlng varieties brought
from Turkestan are grown in the semi
arid regions Of the West, and the des-
ert places become gardens. Harder
varieties have extended the range Of
the plant farther north.
