self and tries vainly to get away
. from the pain Of this bad type
of conscience by chasing after
light pleasures.
What you can give is unques.
tionably a basic test for your
happiness, for it is a test of real
capacity. The best giving is
not done in form Of a direct con.
tribution, but in form of some
kind Of service rendered. For
you to possess. the virtues named
above means that your life is
stored with potential service.
To minister as you are able,
to the hungry and the suffering,
to offer cheer and encouragement
to others, to make your daily life
a worthy example for those less
self-reliant than yourself, to keep
your mind and heart constantly
open to improvement-such are
real and enduring factors in hap.
piness and they are easily within
your reach.
Indeed, it seems that all the
important matters here desig-
mated as ingredients of the happy
girls life may be had for the TAX.

price. Prove the claim for your.
self, and then tell your chum the
good news.

TYOU. in common with every.

Il extreme cold.
When you go out of doors on
a cold day and leave your hands
exposed for a while, the first
thing you notice is that they
shrivel a little and look whittier
than usual.
The same change takes place
in your face, especially the tip
of your nose and ears.
In a little while, however, on
continued exposure, the same sur
faces begin to be red. soon they
seem puffed and swollen, when
they begin to itch and burn.
What has really happened is
that with the first contact with
the cold the little nerve endings
in the exposed skin received a
shock.
In response to this shock, which
may, have made you shiver, the
walls of the little blood vessels,
or capillaries, shrank under COM
mand of the nerves. thus driving
much of the blood out of that
part Of the skin into the larger
blood vessels that lie deeper in
the body.
This is called the primary eff.
feet of cold.
The next thing that happened
was a lessening of the power Of
these nerves, amounting at times
to their actual paralysis under
the continued influence of the
cold.
When the power Of the nerves
to contract the blood vessels is
thus impaired or lost the vessel
walls dilate. the blood rushes in
and the parts that were pale and
shriveled at once become red and
swollen. This is called secondary
effect Of cold.
The time required to develop
the secondary is short proportion.

That is why some people find
themselves so quickly frost bit

tense cold. If the exposure Is
long continued there occurs the
third effect, which consists Of ac-
tual stagnation Of the blood and
the formation Of blisters in the
frost-bitten areas.
These three stages, more or less
we'll defined, mark the process Of
freezing to death" on prolonged
exposure, more or less complete,
Of the whole body.
The treatment of frost bite Is
to try to re-establish the circula.
ton, called reaction, by whipping
the tagging nerves in the exposed
area to renewed power.

but is rather the result of a we'll

Gourfold basis: What you have,
what you are. what you can dc,
what you can give.
What you have furnishes only
o minor part Of your happiness.
No matter how rare and valuable
your material possessions. they
do not furnish any durable salts

tell you how little they get out
Of their possessions. The very

constitute what we call good
