and she found them.
A good deal of our unhappiness
m from grievances, or Sights. or
troubles, or disasters that We have
looked for-that we have ferreted out
and forced out of cover. II We had
gone aheed cheerfully and happily we
should have passed them by unob-

I know people who see no good in
each other because they are constant
ly looking for evil: who turn every
word and in aouation and suggestion
and unconscious act into something
that is vindictive and calculating
Each finds a subtle irritating double
meaning at every word or suggestion
that the other utters, and all because
he is looking for it.
The opposite of this is true. There
is a sort of unsophistication that does
not see vulgarity or deceit or evil of
any kind; that knows nothing of IN
faithfulness, or dislovalty, or cause
for depression and Encouragement be-
cause it is not expecting them; it is
not looking for them.
A young friend of mine had recent
ly been with a crowd in which there
had been considerable drinking.

by the drinking" l said to him. But
he really had never seen it; he did not
know about it: it had made no impress
sion on him because his thoughts had
been above it-he had not been look

0ale's Mertila Pepsin the
One Best Bet

What difference does il make to you
what causes your stomach agony or
Indigestion? II you've got it, you've
got il and what you want to know now
is how TO get rid of tin the shortest
possible time.
We'll, here's the answer that ought
to please you. Just get one bottle OF
Dare's Mentha Pepsin at H. j. Dennis
& Co.'S Or any good drug store and
take one dessert teaspoonful after

Then give your stomach the once
over, so to speak, and if this one bot
tie Of Date's Mentha Pepsin hasn't
greatly helped your rebellious stom-
ach, just go and get your money back.
That's what any good American
would call a square deal, but the men
who make Dare's Mentha Pepsin go
further. They say after you have
taken one bottle OF this great and
pleasant to take stomach medicine
if you don't feel better, sleep better,
eat better and look better, you can
have your money back"
They are perfectly willing to give
this generous guarantee. because, be-
sides being the stomach remedy SUI
preme, Dare's Mentha Pepsin is a real
ionic that builds you up. Wouldn't it
be a good idea TO start to get-rid of
stomach distress and misery today?
