the past fifteen years, prompted by
gratitude for the Tanlac treatment,
because of its benefits to her and 9TH

statement:
"Tanlac is the one medicine l can

its the highest praise, not only because
of what 1t has done for me, but be-

these two were the important ones.
The other cats did not come out Of
the houses very much. They liked to
stay in the apartments and just take
an airing once in awhile.
True, they did come out, but they
didn't walk up and down the block
and greet their friends as these two
important cats did.
b two big cats had always seemed
to live on the block-they had for
years at any rate.
And they seemed to be owned by
everybody, or at least to have many

At night and when it was cold and
horrid they went to one of the base

warm place to sleep before the friend

They never had to be out of doors
unless they wished to be, and know
Ing they could always be protected
from storms and rain was a very COM
forting thought.
Always, too, they could get enough
food. In fact, every janitor was anx-
ious to feed the two cats. so we'll
thought of In the neighborhood were
these cats.
People, too, who lived In the apart
ments would bring them delicacies to
eat-often a saucer of milk would be
brought out. For most of the time
the cats were out of doors, as I've said.
They would sit in front of the differ
ent apartment houses and as the ones
they knew and liked came out they
would go up to them and rub them and
make soft purring sounds to show
how friendly they were.
And how many people would speak
to them and would say good morning
to them just as they would to real
people.

which is more than can be said for all

are well looked after. so we have the
brains to know where it is we're well
off, and we use our brains in thinking

"We think for ourselves" said the
first cat. "We didn't have to be told
these things; we thought them all out"
The second cat didn't answer for a
moment. The beautiful sun was so
warm and so cosy and the second cat
had dropped off to sleep for a moment,
closing his eyes and now opening
them half sleepily.
Its such a lovely, quiet, restful
day." said the first cat. "All our
friends seem to have gone out, and

More than 100000 deaths and over

nually are ascribed by Federal and
State health reports to needlessly IN
sanitary conditions. Il is an amaz-

Yet wholly sanitary conditions may
be brought about in the country just as
quickly and easily as in the city. The
actual expenditure involved is very
small. especially when you consider
how much the family's health will be

SCRAP-BASKETS

Did you ever think what a culttered up and dlsordery
house you would have if it were not for your scrap-baskets
What would become of the useless mail, the bits Of rubbish,
the stray threads, the various odds and ends that accumu-
late every day if there were no such things as scrap-baskets;
The wise and orderely housekeeper has one in each room and
she sees that it is well used. The well used scrap-basket means
the well ordered house. Waste material is always harmful.
1t annoys, encumbers and handicaps.
Even much more essential than a scrap-basket In the
rooms Of ones house is a scrap-basket in the rooms OF ones
life. Those bitter memories, those ancient grudges, those harm
full acquaintance, those useless pastimes, those depressing
thoughts, those demoralizing habits-they all belong in the
scrap basket.
So in your amusement room place a scrap-basket and
throw in it all the recreations that do not really recreate.
In your memory room have a thorough house cleaning.
The memories Of past mistakes that so often come to harass
and worry you, the memory of wounded feelings that have
hurt and bruised you, the old regrets thattorment and grieve
you, the ancient grudges that embitter and anger you-dis-
card them all. They are useless. They only mar your serenity
and destroy your contentment. More than that they take up
room that should be occupied by happy, peaceful and beau
tiful memories.
In your habit room throw away the worry habit, the whln-
ing habit, the pouting habit, the proscrastinating habit and
the b~ack-biting habit.
In your friendship room (Which can never be too large)
have no place for the acquaintance and would be friends who
pull you down by dampening your enthusiasm, destroying
your ambitions, wasting your time and annihilahng your bet
ter-self.
Take time for a physical, mental and moral house-clean-
Ing. 1t will do much to increase your happiness and develop
your personality.
